207 Series Hardware Overview
LEDs
The 207 Series access points have two LEDs that indicate the
system and radio status of the device. These two LEDs can be
configured via ArubaOS (for AP-207) or Aruba Instant (for
IAP-207) software into three separate modes:
Normal mode (by default): See Table 1
Both LEDs off

Access points are radio transmission devices and 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.
Console Port
The serial console port is located at the back of the (I)AP-207
and is a 4-pin connector covered by a dust cover. An optional
serial adapter cable (AP-CBL-SER) is sold separately to
connect the (I)AP to a serial terminal or a laptop for direct
local management.
Ethernet Port
The 207 Series access points are equipped with one 10/100/
1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX Ethernet port
(ENET0) for wired network connectivity. This port supports
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), 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.
Reset Button
To reset the 207 Series access points to factory default
settings, press and hold down the reset button using a small,
narrow object such as a paper clip while the (I)AP is powered
on.
DC Power Socket
If PoE is not available, an optional Aruba AP-AC-12V30B
power adapter kit (sold separately) can be used to power the
207 Series access points.
Additionally, a locally-sourced AC-to-DC adapter (or any DC
source) can be used to power this device, as long as it
complies with all applicable local regulatory requirements
and the DC interface meets the following specifications:
12 Vdc (+/- 5%) and at least 12W
Center-positive 2.1/5.5 mm circular plug, 9.5 mm length
FCC Statement: Improper termination of access
points installed in the United States configured to nonUS model controllers 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).
EU Statement:
Lower power radio LAN product operating in 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz bands. Please refer to the ArubaOS User
Guide/Aruba Instant User Guide for details on
restrictions.
The 207 Series access points ship with two ceiling rail
adapters for 9/16” and 15/16” ceiling rails. Additional ceiling
rail adapters for other rail styles and wall mount adapters are
available as accessory kits.
1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the
ceiling tile near where the access point will be placed.
2. Place the adapter against the back of the access point
with the adapter at an angle of approximately 30 degrees
to the tabs (see
Figure 3).
3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the
tabs (see
Figure 3).
Figure 3 Attaching the Ceiling Rail Adapter
4. Hold the access point next to the ceiling tile rail with the
ceiling tile rail mounting slots at approximately a 30degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see
Figure 4). Make
sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile.
5. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the access point
clockwise until the device clicks into place on the ceiling
tile rail.
