The Aruba AP Setup Process

Setting up an Aruba AP typically consists of four stages:
1 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).
2 AP Provisioning—Provisioning provides each Aruba AP with initial settings
that allow it to locate the host Aruba Mobility Controller. Depending on the
network topology and services, AP provisioning can be performed manually
for each AP or plug-and-play for batches of APs.
AP provisioning is discussed in
3 AP Deployment—Once provisioned, the AP can be physically installed at its
intended place of operation.
