Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity
Before you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs will be able to locate and
connect to the controller when they are powered on.
Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:
When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address.
APs can locate the controller.
Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the controller.
Outdoor Planning and Deployment Considerations
Prior to deploying an outdoor wireless network, the environment must be evaluated to plan for a
successful Aruba WLAN deployment. Successfully evaluating the environment enables the proper
selection of Aruba routers and antennas and assists in the determination of their placement for
optimal RF coverage. This process is considered WLAN or RF planning and Aruba’s system engineers
can assist in the outdoor planning process.
For WLAN systems being installed outdoors in the USA, the following requirement must be met.
1. Systems must be professionally installed by a qualified engineer familiar with WLAN, including
Aruba trained partners and resellers.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the IAP-277 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.
This section is specific to the AP-277.
!
External antennas for this device must be installed by an Aruba Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) or other
Aruba-certified technician, using manufacturer-approved antennas only.
The Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) levels for all external antenna devices must not exceed the
regulatory limit set by the host country/domain.
Installers are required to record the antenna gain for this device in the system management software.
Les antennes externes pour cet appareil doivent être installées par un professionnel de la mobilité certifié
Aruba (ACMP) ou un autre technicien certifié Aruba, en utilisant uniquement des antennes approuvées par le

Aruba 277 Series Access Points | Installation Guide 7
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 access point to its
fixed location.
RF absorbers include:
Cement/concrete—Old concrete has high levels of water dissipation, which dries out the concrete, allowing
for potential RF propagation. New concrete has high levels of water concentration in the concrete, blocking
RF signals.
Natural Items—Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees
Brick
RF reflectors include:
Metal Objects—Metal pans between floors, rebar, fire doors, air conditioning/heating ducts, mesh windows,
blinds, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), refrigerators, racks, shelves, and filing cabinets.
Do not place an access point between two air conditioning/heating ducts. Make sure that access points are
placed below ducts to avoid RF disturbances.
RF interference sources include:
Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones)
Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch rooms
