Installation Guide

0510882-01 | March 2011 1

The Aruba AP-130 series of wireless access points support the IEEE 802.11n standard for high-performance

WLAN. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and support existing

802.11a/b/g/n wireless services. The AP-130 series access points work only in conjunction with an Aruba

Controller.

The Aruba AP-130 series access points provide the following capabilities:

 Wireless transceiver

 Protocol-independent networking functionality

 IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless access point

 IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless air monitor

 Compatibility with IEEE 802.3at PoE

 Central management configuration and upgrades through an Aruba Controller

Minimum Software Requirements

The AP-130 Series access point requires ArubaOS 6.1 or later.

Kensington Lock Slot The AP-130 series is equipped with a Kensington security slot for additional security. Before You Begin ! 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).

Summary of the Setup Process NOTE It is important that you verify the items listed under Pre-Installation Checklist before you attempt to set up and install an AP-130 series AP. Successful setup of an AP-130 series access point consists of five tasks, which must be performed in this order: 1. Verify pre-installation connectivity. 2. Identify the specific installation location for each AP. 3. Install each AP. 4. Verify post-installation connectivity. 5. Configure each AP.

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 within the concrete, blocking RF signals.

Installing the AP Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained service personnel only. NOTE Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter The AP130 series ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16” and 15/16” ceiling rails. ! Make sure the AP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging the device from the ceiling, because poor installation could cause it to fall onto people or equipment. CAUTION 1.
