IAP Pre-Installation Checklist

Before installing your IAP-105 access point, be sure that you have the following:

 CAT5 UTP cable of required length
 One of the following power sources:

 IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source
 The POE source can be any power source equipment (PSE)
 Aruba IAP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)

Summary of the Setup Process

Successful setup of an IAP-105 access point consists of five tasks, which must be
performed in this order:

1. Identify the specific installation location for each IAP.

2. Install each IAP.

3. Verify post-installation connectivity.

4. Configure each IAP.

Aruba Networks, Inc., in compliance with governmental requirements, has
designed the IAP-105 access points so that only authorized network
administrators can change the settings. For more information about IAP
configuration, refer to the Aruba Instant Quick Start Guide and Aruba
Instant User Guide.

Installing the IAP

Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained
service personnel only.

Using the Integrated Wall-Mounting Slots

The keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the IAP can be used to attach the device
upright to an indoor wall or shelf. When you choose the mounting location, allow
additional space at the right of the unit for cables.

1. Since the ports are on the back of the device, make sure that you mount the
IAP in such a way that there is a clear path to the Ethernet port, such as a pre­drilled hole in the mounting surface.

2. At the mounting location, install two screws on the wall or shelf, 1 7/8 inches
(4.7 cm) apart. If you are attaching the device to drywall, Aruba recommends
using appropriate wall anchors (not included).

3. Align the mounting slots on the rear of the IAP over the screws and slide the
unit into place (see Figure 4).

Ethernet Port

IAP-105 is equipped with a single 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/
MDX wired-network connectivity port. This port supports IEEE 802.3af Power
over Ethernet (PoE) compliance, accepting 48VDC as a standard defined
Powered Device (PD) from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) such as a PoE
midspan injector, or network infrastructure that supports PoE.

DC Power Socket

If PoE is not available, an optional Aruba IAP AC-DC adapter kit (sold
separately) can be used to power the IAP-105.

Reset Button

The reset button can be used to return the IAP to factory default settings. If you
have converted your IAP to a campus AP, pressing the reset button converts it
back to an IAP. To reset the IAP:

1. Power off the IAP.

2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a
paperclip.

3. Power-on the IAP without releasing the reset button. The power LED will
flash within 5 seconds.

4. Release the reset button.

The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is
completed. The IAP will now continue to boot with the factory default settings.

Access points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to
governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the
configuration and operation of access points must comply with local
broadcast regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel
assignments appropriate to the location in which the access point will be
used.

Identifying Specific Installation Locations

RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC

RF radiation exposure limits. This equipment should be installed and
operated with a minimum distance of 13.78 inches (35 cm) between the
radiator and your body for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operations. This transmitter
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter. When operated in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range, this
device is restricted to indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful
interference with co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems.

You can mount the IAP-105 access point on a wall or on the ceiling. 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 VisualRF.

Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference Sources

Using the Integrated Ceiling Tile Rail Slots

The snap-in tile rail slots on the rear of the IAP can be used to securely attach the
device directly to a 15/16" wide, standard ceiling tile rail.

Make sure the IAP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging the
device from the ceiling; poor installation could cause it to fall onto people
or equipment.

1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near
where the IAP will be placed.

2. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the
IAP.

Hold the IAP next to the ceiling tile rail with the ceiling tile rail mounting slots at
approximately a 30-degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see Figure 5). Make sure
that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile.

Figure 5 Orienting the Ceiling Tile Rail Mounting Slots

LEDs

The IAP-105 is equipped with four LEDs that indicate the status of the various
components of the IAP.

 PWR: Indicates whether or not the IAP-105 is powered-on
 ENET: Indicates the status of the IAP-105’s Ethernet port
 11A/N: Indicates the status of the 802.11a/n radio
 11B/G/N: Indicates the status of the 802.11b/g/n radio

For information about the IAP-105’s LED behavior, see Table 1 on page 2.

Before You Begin

FCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in the

United States (non-US Regulatory Domain model/s) will be in violation of
the FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional
violation may result in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination
of operation and may be subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80).

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 IAP 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 within 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 IAP 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

3. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the IAP clockwise until the device
clicks into place on the ceiling tile rail.

Connecting Required Cables

Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations
and practices.

Ethernet Ports

The RJ45 Ethernet port (ENET) supports 10/100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/
MDX connections. Use these ports to connect the IAP to a twisted pair Ethernet
LAN segment. Use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP cable up to 100 m (325
feet) long.

The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is on the back of the IAP. The port has an RJ-
