Installation Guide

October 2004

z

A console terminal (or workstation with terminal emulation software) with an available 
serial communications port using a DB-9 male connector.

z

An Aruba serial breakout adapter kit, Part Number CA-SPOE-ADAPT-3, (not included). 
(See 

z

Access to the Aruba 70 FE port through one of the following:

z

Direct contact with the AP, or

z

If the AP is already deployed, you must have access to the end of the FE cable that leads 
directly to the AP with no intervening hubs, routers, or other networking equipment.

The cable must be an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with 
RJ-45 connectors.

z

A power source for the Aruba 70. Use one of the following:

z

An optional AC power adapter (not included) and an AC power outlet rated at 
100~240 V, 50~60 Hz, or

z

The Aruba 70 FE port connected to an Aruba 800, 2400, or 5000 WLAN switch that 
supports IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE) via a 4- or 8-conductor, 
Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.

Only IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet is supported for manual 

provisioning. “Inline” or “midspan” POE devices requires Aruba serial 
breakout adapter, Part Number CA-SPOE-ADAPT-4.

1.IEEE 802.3af-complaint devices like the AP 70 use the same wire pairs for data versus for pow-
er. Within the 802.3af standard, there are two sub-specifications on how wire pairs are assigned.
Aruba conforms to 802.3af, subparagraph a. If your POE installation uses all-Aruba equipment,
you are assured proper operation. However, if you use non-Aruba POE equipment, make sure it
conforms to the same standard that Aruba uses. Using POE equipment using IEEE 802.3af sub-
paragraph b wiring assignments, or POE equipment not conforming to the 803.2af standard may
result in damaged equipment.
