In the Instant UI
1. On the Access Points tab, click the IAP for which you want to set the zone. The edit link is displayed.
2. Click the edit link. The edit window for modifying IAP details is displayed.
3. Specify the IAP zone in Zone.
4. Click OK.
In the CLI
To change the name:
(Instant AP)# zone <name>
Specifying a Method for Obtaining IP Address
You can either specify a static IP address or allow the IAP to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. By
default, the IAPs obtain IP address from the DHCP server. You can specify a static IP address for the IAP by
using the Instant UI or the CLI.
In the Instant UI
To configure a static IP address:
1. On the Access Points tab, click the IAP to modify.
2. Click the edit link.
3. Select Specify statically option to specify a static IP address. The following text boxes are displayed:
a. Enter a new IP address for the IAP in the IP address text box.
b. Enter the subnet mask of the network in the Netmask text box.
c. Enter the IP address of the default gateway in the Default gateway text box.
d. Enter the IP address of the DNS server in the DNS server text box.
e. Enter the domain name in the Domain name text box.
4. Click OK and reboot the IAP.
In the CLI
To configure a static IP address:
(Instant AP)# ip-address <IP-address> <subnet-mask> <NextHop-IP> <DNS-IP-address> <domain-
name>
Configuring External Antenna
If your IAP has external antenna connectors, you need to configure the transmit power of the system. The
configuration must ensure that the system's Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) is in compliance
with the limit specified by the regulatory authority of the country in which the IAP is deployed. You can also
measure or calculate additional attenuation between the device and the antenna before configuring the
antenna gain. To know if your IAP device supports external antenna connectors, refer to the Aruba Instant
Installation Guide that is shipped along with the IAP device.
EIRP and Antenna Gain
The following formula can be used to calculate the EIRP-limit-related RF power based on selected antennas
(antenna gain) and feeder (Coaxial Cable loss):
EIRP = Tx RF Power (dBm) + GA (dB) - FL (dB)
