The Aruba AP Setup Process
Setting up an Aruba AP typically consists of four stages:
WLAN Planning—The administrator determines how many Aruba APs will be
needed for their wireless network strategy and where they will be deployed. This
can be easily accomplished using Aruba’s automated RF Plan site-survey
software (available separate ly ).
AP Provisioning—Provisioning provides each Aruba AP with initial settings that
allow it to locate the host Aruba Mobility Controller. Depending on the network
topology and services, AP provisioning can be performed manually for each AP or
plug-and-play for batches of APs.
AP provisioning is discussed in Appendix 2, “Provisioning Access Points.”
AP Deployment—Once provisioned, the AP can be physically installed at its
intended place of operation.
AP deployment is covered in Chapter 2, “AP Deployment”.
AP Configuration—The administrator defines the operational behavior for each
Aruba AP, such as RF characteristics and security features.
For AP configuration information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide.

z Connecting the required cables
Mounting the Aruba AP 60/61
When provisioning is complete, mount the Aruba AP 60/61 at its intended service
location.
The Aruba AP 60/61 Access Points with or without external antennas are
intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af. All
interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, includ ing
the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connections. (When using an
external antenna, 5.150 to 5.250 MHz are blocked.)
Select a location as close as possible to the center of the intended cover age area.
If necessary, use the Aruba RF Plan site survey tool to determine the optimum
locations for your access points and air monitors.
The service location should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of
interference. Normally, the higher you place an access point or air monitor, the
better its performance.
If external antennas are used, make sure that they and their associated wiring are
located entirely indoors. The Aruba AP 60/61 and any optional external antennas
are not suitable for outside use.

Chapter 2
Connecting Required Cables
The Aruba AP 60/61 Access Points with or without external antennas are
intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af. All
interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, includ ing
the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connections.
Selecting an FE Cable
The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is used to connect the AP to a
10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment. The appropriate FE
cable depends on the features required of the FE port:
z SPOE
When connecting the AP to a device that supports Serial and Power Over
Ethernet (SPOE), use an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE
cable.
The Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), the Aruba 2400,
and the Aruba 800 support SPOE.
z POE
If the connecting device supports only P ower Over Ethernet (POE), use a 4- or
8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.
z Network Only
If the connecting device does not support POE, use a 4- or 8-conductor,
Category 5 UTP, FE cable. The port detects MDI/MDX and automatically
adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables.
The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet).
When the Aruba AP 60/61 is installed in an air-handling space, such as above
suspended ceilings, as described in National Electrical Code (2002) Article
300.22(C), and Canadian Electrical Code, Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100,
Part 1, CSA C22.1, POE is required. Also, any FE cable installed in such spaces
should be suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked accordingly for use in
plenums and air-handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation, such as
CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP, or CMP.
Use the built-in antenna (for the AP61). For the Aruba 60, use Aruba AP-ANT-1.
For all other antennas, make sure the antenna cable is UL listed and suitable for
use in plenums and air-handling spaces, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP, or CMP,
and mount the antenna outside of the air-handling space.
Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and
practices.
For more port and cable details, see Appendix 3, “Port Specifications. ”

Chapter 2
Selecting an Antenna
There are three ways to select an AP60 antenna:
1. From the AP console (serial or telnet) enter set_antenna 0|1|2 where 0
specifies auto mode, and 1 or 2 chooses a specific antenna. The antenna
selection is not persistent and the AP will loose the antenna selection, if
rebooted.
2. From the AP boot prompt (apboot>) enter a_antenna 0|1|2 or g_antenna 0|1|2
to specify an antenna. Enter a save command before booting the AP to save
the antenna configuration in the AP’s Flash memory, along with other
provisioning parameters.
3. For releases 2.3 and higher, you can provision the antenna selection from the
Mobility Controller.
Maintenance
The AP60 and AP61 require no maintenance beyond keeping the AP clean and
dust free. To clean the Aruba AP 60/61, use a static-free, dry cloth.
Aruba recommends that these units be inspected annually for damage, dust
buildup, and to verify that all connections are secure.

The Aruba AP 60/61 can be configured to support IEEE 802.11a or IEEE
802.11b/g operation as an AP, and supports both IEEE 802.11a and IEEE
802.11b/g operation as an AM:
z 802.11a provides a high data rate and reliable wireless connectivity
802.11a operation uses a radio modulation technique known as Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a shared collision domain
(CSMA/CA). It operates in the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information
Infrastructure (UNII) band. Data is tr ansmitted over a half-duplex r adio channel
operating at up to 54 Megabits per second (Mbps).
z 802.11b provides an alternative to wired LANs that can dramatically cut costs
26 Aruba AP 60/61 0510160-02
Installation Guide September 2006
Product Specifications
802.11b operation uses the IEEE 802.11 High-Rate Direct Sequence (HRDS)
specification, and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates in the
2.4GHz Industrial/Scientific/Medical (ISM) band. The ISM band is available
worldwide for unlicensed use. Data is transmitted at speeds of up to 11
Mbps.
z 802.11g provides a high data rate and is backwards compatible with 802.11b.
802.11g operation uses ODFM and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It
operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial/Scientific/Medical (ISM) band. The ISM
band is available worldwide for unlicensed use. Data is transmitted at s peeds
of up to 54 Mbps.
Appendix C
Power Over Ethernet
The Aruba AP 60/61 supports the IEEE 802.3af standard for Power Over Ethernet
(POE). With this feature, the Aruba AP 60/61 can accept electrical power from a
compatible POE-capable device (such as the Aruba 5000 (with Line Card
LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), Aruba 2400, or Aruba 800) directly over the FE cable.
POE eliminates the need to provide separate power outlets in environments that
are difficult or undesirable to wire for electricity.
The Aruba AP 60/61 also supports “inline” and “midspan” POE devices for
normal operation. Inline power is POE that is integrated into FE ports and prov ides
POE directly to devices. Non-POE ports can have POE added by means of a
mid-span device that provides POE. The non-POE port is connected to a mid-span
POE port, and this mid-span port is connected to the device that requires POE.
