This device must be professionally installed and serviced by a trained Aruba Certified Mobility Professional
(ACMP) or similar Aruba-certified technician. Aruba access points are classified as radio transmission devices,
and are subject to government regulations of the host country. The network administrator(s) is/are responsible
!
for ensuring that configuration and operation of this equipment is in compliance with their country's
CAUTION
regulations. For complete list of approved channels in your country, refer to the Aruba Domain Regulatory Table
at arubanetworks.com.
Aruba Networks, Inc. in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the IAP-228 such that only
authorized network administrators can change configuration settings. For more information about AP
configuration, refer to the Aruba Instant Quick Start Guide and Aruba Instant User Guide.
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
CAUTION
which the access point will be used.

Identifying Specific Installation Locations

Use the AP placement map generated by Aruba's RF Plan software application to determine the
proper installation location(s). 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 RF plan.

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
