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.

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.



Natural Items—Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees



Brick

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

The AP-205H is designed to mount into a variety of electrical gang boxes. 

1. Begin by removing the existing data wall plate (if applicable). 

Figure 5  Removing Wall Plate (US Single Gang Outlet Box Shown)

2. Remove any existing RJ45 connectors (typically snap-in) or cut/remove the 

UTP cable.

3. Use a short Ethernet cable (sold separately) to connect the E0 port to an RJ45 

connector or crimp an RJ45 plug (not supplied) on the cable and insert in the 
E0 port. Do the same for the PT port, if used.

4. Align the mounting holes of the AP-205H mounting bracket with mounting 

 and 

single gang outlet box, the mounting bracket has two sets of mounting holes 
to meet the individual installation position requirement. See 

details.

The applicable standards for the wall boxes are:



IEC 60670-1, GB17466, BS4662 and DIN49073 for Worldwide 



ANSI/NEMA OS 1 and OS 2 for US

5. Insert the two included machine screws and tighten them to secure the 

mounting bracket.

Figure 7  Bracket to Gang Box (Worldwide Single Gang Outlet Box Shown)

6. Connect cables to the back of the AP.

7. Align the mounting slots on the back of the AP with the corresponding 

mounting posts on the wall mount, as shown in 

8. Push the AP against the posts and downward until the posts engage the slots 

at the top of the slots.

9. Once the AP is fastened onto the wall mount, insert the T8H Torx Security 

Screw into the hole located on the upper-right edge of the wall mount and 
tighten.

10. If not using PoE, connect the AC-DC power adapter (sold separately) to the 

DC power socket located on the bottom of the AP-205H.

The integrated LED on the AP can be used to verify that the AP is receiving 
power and initializing successfully (see 

Table 1

). Refer to the 

Start Guide for further details on verifying post-installation network 
connectivity.

Provisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These local AP parameters are 
initially configured on the controller which are then pushed out to the AP and 
stored on the AP itself. Aruba recommends that provisioning settings be 
configured via the ArubaOS Web UI only. Refer to the 

ArubaOS User Guide for 

complete details.

Configuration parameters are network or controller specific and are configured 
and stored on the controller. Network configuration settings are pushed out to 
the AP(s) but remain stored on the controller.

Configuration settings can be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI or ArubaOS 
CLI. Refer to 

ArubaOS User Guide for details.
