Aruba AP-93H Wireless Access Point
Installation Guide
The Aruba AP-93H are single-radio, dual-band wireless access point that
supports the IEEE 802.11n standard for high-performance WLAN. This access
point uses MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-
throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz or 5
GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless
services. The AP-93H access point works only in conjunction with an Aruba
Controller.

Serial Console Port
The serial console port (Console) allows you to connect the AP to a serial
terminal or a laptop for direct local management. This port is an RJ-45 female
connector with the pinouts described in
. Connect this port directly to a
terminal or terminal server using an Ethernet cable.

Ethernet Ports
AP-93H is equipped with a total of five active Ethernet ports (ENET 0-5). ENET 0
is a 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network uplink
connectivity port. This port supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE),
accepting 48VDC as a standard defined Powered Device (PD) from a Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE) such as a PoE midspan injector or network
infrastructure that supports PoE. ENET 1 through 4 are 10/100Base-T (RJ-45)
auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network downlink connectivity ports, used to
provide secure network connectivity to wired devices. ENET 0 is located on the
rear of the AP, while ENET 1-4 are located on the bottom (

DC Power Socket
The AP-93H has a single 12V DC power jack socket to support powering through
an AC-to-DC power adapter.
Reset Button
The reset button can be used to return the AP to factory default settings. To reset
the AP:
the AP:
1. Power off the AP.
2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a
paperclip.
3. Power-on the AP without releasing the reset button. The power LED will
flash within 5 seconds.
4. Release the reset button.
The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is
completed. The AP will now continue to boot with the factory default settings.

Before You Begin
Pre-Installation Network Requirements
After WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate products and their
placement have been determined, the Aruba controller(s) must be installed and
initial setup performed before the Aruba APs are deployed.

AP Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing your AP-93H access point, be sure that you have the following:
Pre-installed wall box
Cat5 UTP cable with network access installed in the wall box
One of the following power sources:
IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source
Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)
Aruba Controller provisioned on the network:
Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access point
One of the following network services:
Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
DNS server with an “A” record
DHCP Server with vendor-specific options
Summary of the Setup Process
Successful setup of an AP-93H access point consists of five tasks, which must be
performed in this order:
performed in this order:
1. Verify pre-installation connectivity.
2. Identify the specific installation location for each AP.
3. Install each AP.
4. Verify post-installation connectivity.
5. Configure each AP.
Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity
Before you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs are
able to locate and connect to the controller after power on. Specifically, you
must verify the following conditions:
able to locate and connect to the controller after power on. Specifically, you
must verify the following conditions:
When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address
APs are able to locate the controller
Refer to the
ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and
connecting to the controller.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the AP-93H access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use the AP
placement map generated by Aruba’s RF Plan software application to determine
the proper installation location(s). Each location should be as close as possible
to the center of the intended coverage area and should be free from obstructions
or obvious sources of interference. These RF absorbers/reflectors/interference
sources will impact RF propagation and should have been accounted for during
the planning phase and adjusted for in RF plan.

Sources
Identifying known RF absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources while in
the field during the installation phase is critical. Make sure that these sources are
taken into consideration when you attach an AP to its fixed location.

taken into consideration when you attach an AP to its fixed location.
RF absorbers include:
Cement/concrete—Old concrete has high levels of water dissipation, which
dries out the concrete, allowing for potential RF propagation. New concrete
has high levels of water concentration in the concrete, blocking RF signals.

RF reflectors include:
Metal Objects—Metal pans between floors, rebar, fire doors, air conditioning/
heating ducts, mesh windows, blinds, chain link fences (depending on
aperture size), refrigerators, racks, shelves, and filing cabinets.

Do not place an AP between two air conditioning/heating ducts. Make sure
that APs are placed below ducts to avoid RF disturbances.

RF interference sources include:
Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones)
Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch rooms
Installing the AP
The AP-93H is designed to mount into a variety of electrical gang boxes. To
install your AP-93H:
install your AP-93H:
1. Begin by removing the existing data wall plate (if applicable).
Figure 7 Removing the Wall Plate
2. Remove any existing RJ45 connectors (typically snap-in) or cut/remove the
UTP cable.
3. Use the short Ethernet cables supplied with the AP-93H to connect the AP to
the RJ45 connectors or crimp an RJ45 plug (not supplied) on the cable (or
both cables if using the pass through).
4. Align the mounting holes of the AP-93H mounting bracket with mounting
holes in you gang box as shown in
The Aruba AP-93H requires ArubaOS 6.1.3 or later.
Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged
parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing
materials. Use these materials to repack and return the unit to the
supplier if needed.
