3 Select the Port or Port range for provisioning. To set the Port Range, select the first and the last ports of your range. All the ports in between are automatically selected. (Ports have to be sequentially assigned.) 4 Enter the required information and click Enable.The Port Range screen displays. FIGURE 2-2 Port Range Screen 5 Specify the AP 60/61-specific parameters. Configure the gain value appropriate for the location in which this AP will be deployed.
6 Plug the AP into one of the ports configured for provisioning. If your AP is already plugged into the port, unplug it and plug it in again. If AP is connected through POE, enter (in interface mode) no poe followed by poe. The AP will come up with an IP from the provisioning subnet After the AP comes up it should be in the provisioning list. Provisioning list shows the list of APs which are plugged into the provisioning ports.
11 Click Back to go into the previous page We can see that the Subnet is still configured and Port/s are selected. 12 When finished provisioning APs, click Disable to disable AP Provisioning. Note Disable AP Provisioning after all the required APs are provisioned. Ports that are enabled for provisioning do not handle traffic. Therefore plugging an already provisioned AP into a port still set to provisioning mode will prevent that AP from functioning.
Manual Provisioning Requirements z A console terminal (or workstation with terminal emulation software) with an available serial communications port using a DB-9 male connector. z An Aruba serial breakout adapter kit, Part Number CA-SPOE-ADAPT-3, (not included). (See “Connecting the Console Terminal” on page 15.
Connecting the Console Terminal Manual provisioning requires this procedure. You must use the serial console breakout adapter cable to be able to access the serial console interface to the AP60/61 while allowing the device to be powered by the AC adapter or POE (from an Aruba WLAN switch). #ONSOLE #ONNECTION VIA DIRECT ACCESS TO !0 !RUBA !0 $EPLOYED ,OCATION #ONSOLE #ONNECTION VIA NETWORKING CLOSET #ONSOLE 4ERMINAL #ONSOLE 4ERMINAL !RUBA !0 ,!.
4 Connect power to the Aruba 60/61. CAUTION—Be sure to comply with electrical grounding standards during all phases of installation and operation of the AP. Do not allow the Aruba 60/61 or optional power adapter (if used) 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 to external storm grounding sources.
From the Aruba 60/61 console, access the apboot prompt. Depending on the Aruba 60/61 status, you will see one of the following on your terminal: z Autoboot countdown—The countdown prompt allows you to interrupt the normal startup process and access the apboot prompt where provisioning is performed. APBoot 1.2.
Setting Aruba 60/61 Parameters 1 From the apboot prompt, configure the host information, if necessary. In order to provide centralized management of the APs, each Aruba AP downloads its software image and configuration files from a master Aruba WLAN Switch.
Note The master and serverip environment variables also affect how source files are selected and should be cleared when using this approach. To clear a variable, enter the setenv variable command with no host or address value. When finished, proceed to Step 2. z My network uses direct IP addresses instead of DNS.
Note z If using default locations during initial provisioning, you can later reconfigure the APs to use specific location IDs using the Aruba WLAN Switch management tools. Specific Locations By setting specific location IDs for each AP, you can later apply configuration changes or collect statistics and information for specific groups of APs (for example, all APs on a particular floor in a particular building).
Device Description Note the intended function of the device (access point or dedicated air monitor) and a brief description of its service location. For each access point and air monitor, measure its X and Y position (in feet) relative to the bottom-left corner of the building plan as seen from overhead. For example: 262 ft. X, Y Coordinates Y 98 0,0 126 X 418 ft. Use the same fixed point and orientation for all floors in a building. 4 Save the configuration and reboot the Aruba 60/61.
