CAUTION

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 318 Series Wireless Access Point | Installation Guide 5

Pre-Installation Network Requirements

After WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate products and their placement have been determined, the

Aruba controller(s) must be installed and initial setup performed before the Aruba access points are deployed.

For initial setup of the controller, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for the software version installed on your

controller.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Before installing your access point, be sure that you have the items listed below:

CAT5E UTP cable or better

IEEE 802.3at compliant PoE source

For 318 Series access point running ArubaOS only:

Aruba controller provisioned on the network

Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access point

One of the following network services:

Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)

DNS server with an “A” record

DHCP Server with vendor specific options

CAUTION

EU Statement:

Guide per avere informazioni detagliate sulle restrizioni.

CAUTION

To meet regulatory restrictions, the access point must be professionally installed.

The instructions in this section are applicable to the 318 Series access points running ArubaOS only.

Aruba in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the 318 Series such that only authorized

network administrators can change configuration settings. For more information about AP configuration, refer

to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide and ArubaOS/Instant User Guide.

CAUTION

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.

6Aruba 318 Series Wireless Access Point | Installation Guide

Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity

Before you install access points in a network environment, make sure that the access points will be able to locate

and connect to the controller when they are powered on. Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:

When connected to the network, each access point is assigned a valid IP address.

Access points are able to locate the controller.

Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the controller.

Identifying Specific Installation Locations

Use the AP placement map generated by Aruba’s 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 have been 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 AP to its fixed

location. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance include:

Cement and brick

Objects that contain water

Metal

Microwave ovens

Wireless phones and headsets

Installing the AP

Using Mount Kits

The 318 Series access points can be installed on a wall or attached to a pole by using mount kits. The AP-220-

MNT-W1 Mount Kit is directly compatible, while the AP-270-MNT-V1, AP-270-MNT-V2, AP-270-MNT-H1 and AP-

270-MNT-H2 mount kit are compatible when the AP-270-MNT-ADP adapter is utilized.

The instructions in this section are applicable to the 318 Series access points running ArubaOS only.

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