Page 10: 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 separately). -

The wireless Access Point does not have a power switch. It is powered on when its Ethernet port is connected to the power injector module, and the power injector module is connected to an AC power source. The power injector includes one LED indicator that turns on when AC power is applied. The power injector module automatically adjusts to any AC voltage between 100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. -

Set the distance value used to adjust timeout values to take into account transmit delays due to link distances in the wireless bridge network. For a point-to-point link, specify the approximate distance between the two bridges. For a point-to-multipoint network, specify the distance of the Slave bridge farthest from the Master bridge. - Page 19 Click the OK button to restart the access point.

Page 22: Mounting The Ap
Mounting the AP Using the Pole-Mounting Bracket Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch diameter steel pole or tube using the mounting bracket: Always attach the bracket to a pole with the open end of the mounting grooves facing up. Place the U-shaped part of the bracket around the pole and tighten the securing nut just enough to hold the bracket to the pole. -
Page 23: Mounting On Larger Diameter Poles
Mounting on Larger Diameter Poles In addition, there is a method for attaching the pole-mounting bracket to a pole that is 2 to 5 inches in diameter using an adjustable steel band clamp (not included in the kit). A steel band clamp up to 0.5 inch (1.27 cm) wide can be threaded through the main part of the bracket to secure it to a larger diameter pole without using the U-shaped part of the bracket. -
Page 24: Mount And Connect External Antennas
Mount and Connect External Antennas Physically mount detachable antennas in their desired location, preferably to the same supporting structure as the Access Point, within 3 m (10 ft) distance, using the bracket supplied in the antenna. Connect the antenna to the Access Point’s N-type Female connector using the RF coaxial cable provided with the antenna. -
Page 25: Connect The Power Injector
Connect the Power Injector To connect the Aruba 80 Outdoor Wireless Access Point to a power source: Caution: The wireless outdoor Access Point’s Ethernet port does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Do not try to power the unit by connecting it directly to a network switch that provides IEEE 802.3af PoE due to the AP’s maximum power draw requirement of 30 Watts. -
Page 26: Orient The Antennas
Orient the Antennas After the Aruba 80 Outdoor Wireless Access Point units have been mounted, connected, and their radios are operating, the antennas must be accurately aligned to ensure optimum performance on the Access Point links. - Page 27 Check the following items before you contact local Technical Support. If wireless bridge units do not associate with each other, check the following: • Check the power injector LED for each bridge unit to be sure that power is being supplied •...

Aruba 80 Power over Ethernet Injector Module 10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. -
Page 31: Straight-Through Wiring
Straight-Through Wiring Because the 10/100 Mbps Input port on the power injector uses an MDI pin configuration, you must use “straight-through” cable for network connections to hubs or switches that only have MDI-X ports. However, if the device to which you are connecting supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use either “straight-through”... -
