LEDs

The RAP-2WG has four LED indicators that display the status of the device.

z WLAN: Indicates wireless status and activity.
z E1:Indicates activity and/or status on this port.
z E0: Indicates activity and/or status on this port
z POWER: When lit, the RAP-2WG is powered on.

RAP-2WG Installation

Tabletop Mounting

The RAP-2WG is equipped with four rubber feet designed to support the device on a
flat surface without damaging it. Install the RAP-2WG on a flat level surface.

Wall Mounting

The wall mount slots, on the back of the RAP-2WG, accommodate wall mounting or
mounting to other vertical surfaces.

1. Install two screws in the wall or vertical surface. If attaching the device to
drywall, Aruba recommends using appropriate wall anchors (not included).

2. Align the AP mounting slots to capture the surface screws (see Figure 4).

connectivity.

z E0: Uplink port
z E1: LAN port

DC IN (Power Socket)

The RAP-2WG power adapter (included) connects to the DC IN port. The RAP-2WG
does not have an On/Off switch. The device turns on when the power adapter is
attached and plugged into a power outlet. The device turns off when you disconnect
the power adapter from the power source (outlet).

Antenna

The antenna allows client devices to connect to the RAP-2WG wirelessly.

Reset Button

To reset the RAP-2WG, insert a small, narrow object, such as a pin or paperclip, into
the hole indicated in Figure 3 and press the button for 5 seconds, while powering on
the RAP-2WG. This returns the RAP-2WG to factory defaults.

Wall Mount Slots

The wall mount slots illustrated in Figure 3 accommodate mounting the RAP-2WG
on the wall or other vertical surfaces. Mounting hardware is not included.

Connecting the Required Cables

The RAP-2WG must be connected to a network device that has access to the
Internet, such as a router or modem. To complete the installation of the RAP-2WG:

1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 cable to port E0 on the RAP-2WG.

2. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to a free RJ-45 port on your modem or
router.

3. Attach the provided power adapter to the DC IN port on the RAP-2WG.

4. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet.

The RAP-2WG is now powered on. To verify this, ensure that the PWR LED is solid
green.

Verifying Successful Installation

Once the RAP-2WG’s PWR LED has come up, the device will take 2 to 3 minutes to
complete the boot cycle. Once the boot cycle is complete, you can connect to your
company or corporate network.

See the Provisioning at Home section if you are unable to connect

NOTE

successfully.

Provisioning at Home

If your IT administrator instructed you to provision your RAP-2WG, complete the
following steps after the RAP-2WG has been powered.

1. Connect one end of a second RJ-45 cable to port E1 on the RAP-2WG and the
other end to your computer.

2. Open a web browser and navigate to any URL.

3. An Aruba web page will appear (see Figure 5), requesting the IP address of the
master controller. Enter the IP address provided to you by your IT
administrator.

The RAP-2WG will connect to the designated master controller and download the
necessary provisioning information. When the RAP-2WG comes back up, it is ready
to use.

Contact your IT administrator if you are still unable to connect successfully.
