Provisioning Access Points

Chapter 2

zAn Aruba serial breakout adapter kit, Part Number CA-SPOE-ADAPT-3, (not included). (See “Connecting the Console Terminal” on page 14.)

zAccess to the Aruba AP 60/61 FE port through one of the following:

zDirect contact with the AP, or

zIf the AP is already deployed, you must have access to the end of the FE cable that leads directly to the AP with no intervening hubs, routers, or other networking equipment.

The cable must be an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with RJ-45 connectors.

zA power source for the Aruba AP 60/61. Use one of the following:

zAn optional AC power adapter (not included) and an AC power outlet rated at 100~240 V, 50~60 Hz, or

zThe Aruba AP 60/61 FE port connected to an Aruba 800, 2400, or 5000

Mobility Controller that supports IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE) via a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.1

NOTE: Only IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet is supported for manual provisioning. “Inline” or “midspan” POE devices require Aruba serial breakout adapter, Part Number CA-SPOE-ADAPT-4.

1.IEEE 802.3af-complaint devices like the AP60 and AP61 use the same wire pairs for data versus for power. Within the 802.3af standard, there are two sub-specifications on how wire pairs are assigned. Aruba conforms to 802.3af, subparagraph a. If your POE installation uses all-Aruba equipment, you are assured proper operation. However, if you use non-Aruba POE equipment, make sure it conforms to the same standard that Aruba uses. Using POE equipment using IEEE 802.3af subparagraph b wiring assignments, or POE equipment not conforming to the 803.2af standard may result in damaged equipment.
