LS-100 Wireless Location Sensor
Installation Guide
The Aruba LS-100 wireless location sensor is a single radio, dual-band WLAN
device that scans the supported radio bands, collects relevant data about
wireless devices in the network, and makes this information available to a
locationing server by periodically connecting to the wireless network as a
client device.
In addition to WLAN scanning to improve infrastructure based locationing
performance, the LS-100 also incorporates a Bluetooth Low Energy
(Bluetooth 4.0, BLE) chirper to support client based locationing services.

Installation guide (this document)
Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged
parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing
materials. Use these materials to repack and return the unit to the
supplier if needed.
Reset/LED Button
The Reset/LED button is a dual-function push button, for system reset
(during power on) and LED control (during normal operation). To reset
LS-100 to manufacturing defaults the button has to be held down (for
several seconds) while the unit is powered on. During normal operation, the
button can be used to toggle LED mode between “normal” (default after
power on) and “all off”.

Installing the Device
Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained
service personnel only.
The LS-100 device can be either plugged into an AC power outlet or
mounted on a wall (powered via USB).
Plugging LS-100 into an AC Power Outlet
1. (Optional) You can keep your LS-100 device secure with the security kit.
a. Align the triangle mark on the AC outlet security kit with the same
triangle mark on the back panel of the LS-100.
b. Rotate the security kit 180 degrees.

Figure 6 Routing the USB Cable
2. Attach the wall mount bracket to the wall.
a. Use the wall mount bracket as the template to mark the two
mounting points on the wall.
b. Use a drill to create two holes on the two markings you created in the
previous step.
c. Install any necessary wall anchors. Wall anchors are not included in
the package.
d. Align the screw holes in the wall mount bracket with the previously
installed anchors or demarcated screw points.

Console Port
The serial console port allows you to connect the device to a serial terminal
or a laptop for direct local management. This port located at the rear of the
LS-100 is a 4-pin connector covered by a dust cover. An optional serial
adapter cable (AP-CBL-SER) is available for use with the LS-100 and is sold
separately.
Hot-plug operation is not recommended for the console port.
Before You Begin
FCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in the
United States configured to non-US 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.

USB Interface
The LS-100 implements a Micro-B type USB interface for DC powering.
Power Button
The power button allows you to enable/disable DC power to all circuits (AC
power may remain active at all times).
To meet regulatory restrictions, the device must be professionally
installed.
Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference
Sources
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 AP to its fixed
location. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance include:
Cement and brick
Objects that contain water
Metal
Microwave ovens
Wireless phones and headsets
3. After plugging the LS-100 into an AC power outlet, you can use a screw to
secure the security kit to the wall.
Avoid hitting a live wire when drilling into a wall to secure the security kit.
Mounting LS-100 on a Wall (Powered via USB)
1. Route the USB cable through the bottom opening of the wall mount
bracket.

Removing the LS-100 from the Wall Mount Bracket
1. To remove the LS-100 device from the wall mount bracket, begin by
inserting the release key into the holes.
2. Use the release key to depress the tab on the LS-100 and push the device
up.
Figure 9 Removing LS-100 from the Wall Mount Bracket
Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity
The integrated LEDs on the AP can be used to verify that the AP is receiving
power and initializing successfully (see Table 1). Refer to the ArubaOS Quick
Start Guide for further details on verifying post-installation network
connectivity.
