APs can locate the controller.

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

Prior to deploying an outdoor wireless network, the environment must be evaluated to plan for a 

successful Aruba WLAN deployment. Successfully evaluating the environment enables the proper 

selection of Aruba routers and antennas and assists in the determination of their placement for 

optimal RF coverage. This process is considered WLAN or RF planning and Aruba’s system engineers 

can assist in the outdoor planning process.
For WLAN systems being installed outdoors in the USA, the following requirements must be met.
1. Systems must be professionally installed by a qualified engineer familiar with WLAN, including 

Aruba trained partners and resellers.

2. Operation in the 5600-5650-MHz band is prohibited.
3. When within 35 km distance of a TDWR, the center frequency of the WLAN must be separated 

from the TDWR center frequency by 30 MHz.
a. If the radar is operating from 5600-5610 MHz, disable the use of channel 116 (5580 MHz).
b. If the radar is operating from 5630-5650 MHz, disable the use of channel 132 (5660 MHz).

.

You can mount the AP-277 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
