    Installing the AP Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained service personnel only. Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter The AP130 series ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16” and 15/16” ceiling rails. Make sure the AP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging the device from the ceiling, because poor installation could cause it to fall onto people or equipment.

    Use these ports to connect the AP to a twisted pair Ethernet LAN segment or directly to an Aruba Controller. Use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP cable up to 100 m (325 feet) long. The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports are on the bottom of the AP. These ports have RJ-45 female...
  • Page 9: Power Connection

    Output Power Connection The AP-130 Series has a single 12V DC power jack socket to support powering through an AC-to-DC power adapter. If both POE and DC power are available, the AP uses POE even when there is not enough POE voltage available to power the AP.

    Provisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These local AP parameters are initially configured on the Controller which are then pushed out to the AP and stored on the AP itself. Aruba recommends that provisioning settings be configured via the ArubaOS WebUI only. Refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for complete details.
