AP Deployment

Chapter 3

Connecting Cables & Power

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or damage to equipment, be sure to comply with electrical grounding standards during all phases of installation and operation of the AP. Do not allow the Aruba AP 60/61 or its attachments to be connected to or make contact with metal or power outlets on a different electrical ground than the device to which it is connected. Also, never connect the AP or Mobility Controller to external storm grounding sources.

1.Connect one end of the FE cable directly to the Aruba AP 60/61 FE port.

2.Connect the other end of the FE cable to one of the following:

ATo a network port on the Mobility Controller, or

BTo a network hub, router, or switch that has a routable path to the Mobility Controller.

NOTE: If the connecting device supplies POE, a straight-through cable must connect the Aruba AP 60/61 directly to the powering device without any intervening hubs, routers, or other networking equipment.

3.Connect power, if necessary.

The Aruba AP 60/61 can receive electrical power using the following options:

zPOE

If connecting the Aruba AP 60/61 to a device that supplies IEEE 802.3af compliant POE no additional power connection is necessary.

zPower Outlet

NOTE: When the Aruba AP 60/61 is installed in an air-handling space, as described in NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), POE must be used instead of a power outlet.

If local regulations and practices permit, connect the optional AC power adapter (not included) to the DC power socket on the Aruba AP 60/61 and plug it into an appropriate power outlet.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or damage to equipment, use only the AC power adapter certified for this device in the country where it is used.
