CHAPTER 1

Introduction

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

solution. The device works in conjunction with the Aruba WLAN Switch and can act as a

wireless access point or air monitor.

As a wireless Access Point (AP), the Aruba 60/61 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 60/61

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 AP 60/61 requires setting the antenna power, which requires profes-

sional training. The AP60/61 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 AP 60 Detachable Antennas” on page 24.

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

Indicator LEDs

During operation, the Aruba 60/61 LEDs provide the following information:

Note LEDs on the Aruba WLAN Switch provide additional status and security informa-

tion about connected APs.See the Aruba AirOS 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.

FE Port

This port attaches the Aruba 60/61 to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN

segment. This port also supports Serial and Power Over Ethernet (SPOE).

See Appendix A for port and cable specifications.

Mounting Slots

The keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the chassis are used for mounting the Aruba 60/61.

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.

Fold-Out Stand

This fold-out stand allows the Aruba 60/61 to be stood upright on a table or shelf.

Kensington Security Slot

This slot is compatible with a Kensington MicroSaver Security Cable (not included) which

can be used to prevent the unauthorized removal of the Aruba 60/61 from its installed

location. To secure the Aruba 60/61, wrap a security cable around an immovable object, insert

the cable’s lock into the Kensington Security Slot, and turn the key.

Note The serial number and model number are on the bottom of the unit.

The Aruba AP Setup Process

Setting up an Aruba AP typically consists of four stages:

1 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).

2 AP Provisioning—Provisioning provides each Aruba AP with initial settings that allow it

to locate the host Aruba WLAN Switch. 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 Chapter 2.

3 AP Deployment—Once provisioned, the AP can be physically installed at its intended

place of operation.

AP deployment is covered in Chapter 3.

4 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 Aruba AirOS User Guide.
