Aruba AP-375ATEX Series Access Points
| Installation Guide
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the access point on a wall or pole. Use the AP placement map generated by Aruba’s RF Plan
software application to determine the proper installation location(s). Each location should be as close as possible
to the center of the intended coverage area and should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of
interference. These RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources will impact RF propagation and should have
been accounted for during the planning phase and adjusted for in RF plan.
Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference Sources
Identifying known RF absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources while in the field during the installation
phase is critical. Make sure that these sources are taken into consideration when you attach an AP to its fixed
location. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance include:
Cement and brick
Objects that contain water
Metal
Microwave ovens
Wireless phones and headsets
Installing the Access Point
Using Mount Kits
The AP-375ATEX access point can be installed on a wall or attached to a pole by using mount kits:
Grounding the Access Point
The grounding must be completed before powering up the access point. The grounding wire should be #8 AWG.
1. Peel the cover of one end of the grounding wire and place the bare grounding wire into the included copper
lug, and press firmly with the crimping pliers.
2. Fasten the copper lug to the grounding hole on the access point with the included M4 x6 screw.
Service to all Aruba products should be performed by trained service personnel only.
