The Aruba AP Setup Process

Setting up an Aruba AP typically consists of four stages:
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).
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
AP Deployment—Once provisioned, the AP can be physically installed at its
intended place of operation.
AP deployment is covered in
AP Configuration—The administrator defines the operational behavior for each
Aruba AP , such as RF characteristics and security features.
For AP configuration information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide.
