Introduction 1

CHAPTER 1

Introduction

The Aruba AP60/61 (also known as the AP 60/61) is part of a

comprehensive wireless network solution. The device works in

conjunction with the Aruba Mobility Controller and can act as a

wireless access point or air monitor.

As a wireless Access Point (AP), the Aruba AP60/61 provides

transparent, secure, high-speed data communications between

wireless network devices (fixed, portable, or mobile computers

with IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g wireless adapters) and the

wired LAN.

As a wireless Air Monitor (AM), a feature unique to Aruba

products, the Aruba AP60/61 enhances wireless networks by

collecting statistics, monitoring traffic, detecting intrusions,

enforcing security policies, balancing wireless traffic load,

self-healing coverage gaps, and more.

NOTE—Installing the Aruba 60/61 requires setting the antenna

power, which requires professional training. The Aruba

60/61 installer must be trained to perform this configura-

tion.

Antenna fixtures for Wireless Communications

Depending on the model, the AP will have one of the following:

Aruba AP60–Two Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) connectors for attaching

separate antennas (not included). For details, see “Aruba 60 Detachable

Antennas” on page 24. (The AP60 requires that both connectors be used in

ArubaOS 2.2 releases or lower. Single antenna operation is supported with

ArubaOS 2.3 or higher.)

NOTE—When facing the A60 as shown in Figure 1-1, the antenna connector on the

left is for antenna 1, and the connector on the right is for antenna 2 in a diver-

sity configuration.

Aruba AP61–Built-in swivel array with dual, tri-band, omnidirectional antennas

Indicator LEDs

During operation, the Aruba AP60/61 LEDs provide the following information:

NOTE—LEDs on the Mobility Controller provide additional status and security

information about connected APs.See the ArubaOS User Guide for

more information.

Air Vents

These vents promote proper air circulation for cooling the device. Do not allow

these vents to be obstructed by mounting equipment, network cables, or any

other material.
