Provisioning Access Points
Chapter 2
11. When finished provisioning APs, click Disable to disable AP Provisioning.
N
:
Disable AP Provisioning after all the required APs are provisioned. Ports
OTE
that are enabled for provisioning do not handle traffic. Therefore plugging
an already provisioned AP into a port still set to provisioning mode will
prevent that AP from functioning.
Now the AP is configured with the Parameters given
12. Reboot the AP so the AP will come up with the new configured parameters.
Use the Reprovisioning tab for APs which are already deployed but need to be
reconfigured. See the ArubaOS User Guide for information on reprovisioning.
Manual Provisioning
Requirements
A console terminal (or workstation with terminal emulation software) with an
available serial communications port using a DB-9 male connector.
An Aruba serial breakout adapter kit, Part Number CA-SPOE-ADAPT-3, (not
included). (See
Access to the Aruba AP 70 FE port through one of the following:
Direct contact with the AP , or
If the AP is already deployed, you must have access to the end of the FE
cable that leads directly to the AP with no intervening hubs, routers, or
other networking equipment.
The cable must be an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP , straight-through FE
cable with RJ-45 connectors.
A power source for the Aruba AP 70. Use one of the following:
An optional AC power adapter (not included) and an AC power outlet
rated at 100~240 V, 50~60 Hz, or
The Aruba AP 70 FE port connected to an Aruba 800, 2400, or 5000
Mobility Controller that supports IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE)
via a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP , straight-through FE cable.
1. IEEE 802.3af-complaint devices like the Aruba AP 70 use the same wire pairs for data
versus for power. Within the 802.3af standard, there are two sub-specifications on how
wire pairs are assigned. Aruba conforms to 802.3af, subparagraph a. If your POE
installation uses all-Aruba equipment, you are assured proper operation. However, if you
use non-Aruba POE equipment, make sure it conforms to the same standard that Aruba
uses. Using POE equipment using IEEE 802.3af subparagraph b wiring assignments, or
POE equipment not conforming to the 803.2af standard may result in damaged
equipment.
