Mounting the AP

Connecting Required Cables

Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and 
practices.

Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity

The integrated LEDs on the AP can be used to verify that the AP is receiving 
power and initializing successfully (see 

Table 1

). Refer to the 

ArubaOS Quick 

Start Guide

 for further details on verifying post-installation network 

connectivity.

Configuring the AP-103

AP Provisioning/Reprovisioning

Provisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These local AP parameters are 
initially configured on the controller which are then pushed out to the AP and 
stored on the AP itself. Aruba recommends that provisioning settings be 
configured via the ArubaOS Web UI only. Refer to the 

ArubaOS User Guide

 for 

complete details.

AP Configuration

Configuration parameters are network or controller specific and are configured 
and stored on the controller. Network configuration settings are pushed out to 
the AP(s) but remain stored on the controller.

Configuration settings can be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI or ArubaOS 
CLI. Refer to their respective guides for further details: the 

ArubaOS User Guide

.

Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Aruba products at end of life are subject to separate collection and treatment 
in the EU Member States, Norway, and Switzerland and therefore are marked 
with the symbol shown at the left (crossed-out wheelie bin). The treatment 
applied at end of life of these products in these countries shall comply with 
the applicable national laws of countries implementing Directive 2002/96EC 
on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

European Union RoHS

Aruba products also comply with the EU Restriction of Hazardous 
Substances Directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS). EU RoHS restricts the use of 
specific hazardous materials in the manufacture of electrical and 
electronic equipment. Specifically, restricted materials under the RoHS 

Directive are Lead (including Solder used in printed circuit assemblies), Cadmium, Mercury, 
Hexavalent Chromium, and Bromine. Some Aruba products are subject to the exemptions listed in 
RoHS Directive Annex 7 (Lead in solder used in printed circuit assemblies). Products and packaging 
will be marked with the “RoHS” label shown at the left indicating conformance to this Directive.

China RoHS

Aruba products also comply with China environmental declaration requirements 
and are labeled with the “EFUP 25” label shown at the left.

FCC Class B Part 15

This device complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules. 
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1.

This device may not cause harmful interference.

2.

This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause 
undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency 
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause 
interference harmful to radio communications.

If this equipment does cause interference, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and 
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is 
connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.

Complies with the Class B limits for radio noise emissions as set out in the interference-causing 
equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of Industry Canada.

Taiwan Class A Statement

Korean Class A Statement

Canadian Statement

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a 
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce 
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the 
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful 
communication.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and 
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired 
operation of the device. 

If a power adapter other than the one provided by Aruba Networks is used 
in the US or Canada, it should be cULus (NRTL) Listed, with an output 
rated 12 VDC, minimum 1.25A, marked “LPS” or “Class 2,” and suitable for 
plugging into a standard power receptacle in the US and Canada.

RF Radiation Exposure Statement:

 This equipment complies with FCC 

RF radiation exposure limits. This equipment should be installed and 
operated with a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20 cm) between the 
radiator and your body for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operations. This transmitter 
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna 
or transmitter. When operated in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range, this 
device is restricted to indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful 
interference with co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems.

!

Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this 
equipment.
