| Installation Guide

Before you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs will be able to locate and connect 
to the controller when they are powered on.

Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:



When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address.



APs can locate the controller.

Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the controller.

You can mount the AP-270 Series access point on a wall or pole. 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.

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. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance include:



Cement and brick



Objects that contain water



Metal



Microwave ovens



Wireless phones and headsets
