Cat5E or better shielded cable with network access

A compatible PoE injector with power cord

One of the following network services:

Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)

DNS server with an “A” record

DHCP Server with vendor specific options

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 willful 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).

Aruba, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the 580EX Series access points so that

only authorized network administrators can change configuration settings. For more information about AP

configuration, refer to the AP Software Quick Start Guide.

Access points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to governmental regulation. Network

administrators responsible for the configuration and operation of access points must comply with local

broadcast regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel assignments appropriate to the location in

which the access point will be used.

Outdoor Planning and Deployment Considerations

Prior to deploying an outdoor wireless network, the environment must be evaluated to plan for a successful

WLAN deployment. Successfully evaluating the environment enables the proper selection of access points and

antennas and assists in the determination of their placement for optimal RF coverage. This process is considered

WLAN or RF planning and Aruba’s system engineers can assist in the outdoor planning process.

Identifying Specific Installation Locations

Use the access point placement map generated by the Aruba 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 the 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.

Do not place an access point between two air conditioning/heating ducts. Make sure that access points are

placed below ducts to avoid RF disturbances.

RF interference sources include:

Other Wi-Fi networks

Microwave ovens

Bluetooth devices

Access Point Installation

The rules for the 5600-5650 MHz band vary by region.

Use of this equipment in near proximity, either horizontally or vertically, with other equipment should be

avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other

equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.

Service to all Aruba products should be performed by trained service personnel only.

Metal cover of enclosure is intended for installation in restricted access location.

Connecting the AC Power Cable

Best Practice for Outdoor Connection to AC Mains

In all circumstances and with any outdoor infrastructure the recommended practice is to connect to AC mains in

an outdoor grade weather protected junction box. This needs to be implemented by a qualified resource in a

manner that is consistent with the electrical code in force in the jurisdiction of deployment. In many countries

this will require a licensed electrician to perform this operation. In Japan, this would be performed by a Certified

Electrician by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

The use of plugs with infrastructure equipment is suitable only for temporary installs where nuisance tripping of

GFI plugs is considered tolerable. if a plug is desired for attachment to the cable assemblies then the installer is

expected to follow all directions provided with the plug end in a fashion consistent with local electrical code.

The 580EX Series access point does not ship with any AC power cables. Aruba offers an AP-AC-MLX-EX outdoor

Molex AC connector kit (sold separately) for customers to assemble their own AC power cable and connect the

AC power cable to the AP. For installation instructions, refer to the AP-AC-MLX-EX AC Connector Kit Installation

Guide shipped with the AP-AC-MLX-EX kit.
