Power
Ethernet port E0 supports PoE-in (AP is a class 3 802.3af PoE-PD device), allowing the device to draw power from
compliant PoE power sources. If PoE is not available, the access point has a 12V DC power input to support an
AC-to-DC power adapter (sold separately). When both PoE and DC power sources are available, the DC power
source takes priority.
Before You Begin
Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.
FCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in the United States configured to non-US
!
model controllers will be in violation of the FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such wilful or intentional
violation may result in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination of operation and may be subject to
forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80).
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing your AP-503H Access Points, be sure that you have the following (not included with the AP):
A mount kit compatible with the AP and mount surface
A Cat5E or better UTP cable with network access
Optional items:
A compatible power adapter with cord
A compatible PoE midspan injector with power cord
An AP-CBL-SERU console cable
Also, make sure at least one of the following network services is supported:
AP-503H access points Discovery Protocol (ADP)
DNS server with an "A" record
DHCP Server with vendor-specific options
HPE Aruba Networking, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the AP-503H Access Points
so that only authorized network administrators can change the settings. For more information about access
point configuration, refer to the Access Point Software Quick Start Guide.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
Use the access point placement map generated by AP-503H access points 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 be 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 access point to its
fixed location.
RF absorbers include:
Cement/concrete—Old concrete has high levels of water dissipation, which dries out the concrete, allowing
for potential RF propagation. New concrete has high levels of water concentration in the concrete, blocking
RF signals.
Natural Items—Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees
Brick
RF reflectors include:
Metal Objects—Metal pans between floors, rebar, fire doors, air conditioning/heating ducts, mesh windows,
blinds, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), refrigerators, racks, shelves, and filing cabinets.
