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 Appendix 2, “Provisioning Access Points.”

AP Deployment—Once provisioned, the AP can be physically installed at its intended place of operation.

AP deployment is covered in Chapter 3, “AP Deployment”.

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.
