Use this procedure when connecting the Aruba 50 through the LAN or to a non-SPOE net-

work port on theAruba WLAN Switch.

NOTE—

If connecting the Aruba 50 directly to a SPOE network port on the Aruba WLAN

Switch, see the instructions on

page 18.

Connect the Aruba 50 to the network.

Connect one end of an FE cable to a network hub, router, or switch that has a routable

path to the Aruba WLAN Switch.

z If the connecting device supports POE (see “Power Over Ethernet” on page 2), use an

8- or 4-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.

z If the connecting device does not support POE, use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5

UTP, straight-through or crossover FE cable.

Any FE cable installed in an air-handling space, as described in NEC (2002) Article

300.22(C), should be suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked for use in plenums

and air-handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP

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

For port and cable details, see

Appendix B.

Connect the other end of the FE cable to the FE port on the back of the Aruba 50.

The Aruba 50 can receive electrical power using the following options:

z POE–If connecting the Aruba 50 to a device that supplies IEEE 802.3af compliant POE

(see

“Power Over Ethernet” on page 2), no additional power connection is necessary.

z Power Outlet

OTE—

When the Aruba 50 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 included AC power adapter cable to

the DC power socket on the rear panel of the Aruba 50 and plug it into an appropriate

power outlet.

CAUTION—Use only the AC power adapter supplied with this device. Other-
