Before you install the Aruba 52, you must have the following:

z

An operational Aruba WLAN Switch with a valid IP route to the LAN segment to which 
the access point or air monitor will be connected.

z

An appropriate physical location for the new access point or air monitor.

We recommend an up-to-date site survey to help determine the optimal location for your 
Aruba 52. See your Aruba AirOS Software Guide for instructions on using the Aruba 
WLAN Switch’s built-in planning tools.

z

Client devices with IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g  compliant wireless Ethernet 
adapters with TCP/IP compatible protocol installed.

z

One of the following power sources for the access point or air monitor:

z

An AC power outlet rated at 100~240 V, 50~60 Hz.

z

Power Over Ethernet (POE) capability on the device to which the Aruba 52 is con-
nected (see 

 on 

When installing the Aruba 52 in plenums or air-handling spaces, as described in 

NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), the device must be powered using POE, and not the 
included AC power adapter.
