IAP-200 Series Instant Access Point
Installation Guide
The Aruba IAP-204 and IAP-205 wireless access points support the IEEE
802.11ac and 802.11n standards for high-performance WLAN. These access
points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-
throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz and
802.11ac 5 GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting legacy 802.11a/b/g
wireless services.The IAP-220 Series access point works only in conjunction
with a virtual controller
The Aruba IAP-200 Series access point provides the following capabilities:
Wireless transceiver
Protocol-independent networking functionality
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless access point
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless air monitor
Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE

Figure 2 IAP-200 Series Side View (IAP-204 shown)
External Antenna Connectors
The IAP-204 is equipped with two external antenna connectors. The connectors
are labeled ANT0 and ANT1, and correspond to radio chains 0 and 1.
Figure 3 IAP-200 Series Rear View
For optimal performance when using articulating direct-mount antennas,
professional installers must orient the antennas as pictured in Figure 4, below.
Figure 4 IAP-204 Antenna Orientation
Console Port
The serial console port allows you to connect the AP to a serial terminal or a
laptop for direct local management. This port is an RJ-45 female connector with
the pinouts described in Figure 5. Connect it directly to a terminal or terminal
server using an Ethernet cable.
Figure 5 Serial Port Pin-Out
Ethernet Port
The IAP-200 Series is equipped with one 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing,
MDI/MDX wired-network connectivity port. This port supports IEEE 802.3af
Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliance, accepting 48 VDC (nominal) as a
standard defined Powered Device (PD) from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)
such as a PoE midspan injector, or network infrastructure that supports PoE.
The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is on the rear of the AP. This port has RJ-45
female connectors with the pin-outs shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-Out
DC Power Socket
If PoE is not available, an optional Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)
can be used to power the IAP-200 Series.
Additionally, a locally-sourced AC-to-DC adapter (or any DC source) can be used
to power this device, as long as it complies with all applicable local regulatory
requirements and the DC interface meets the following specifications:
12 VDC (+/- 5%)/18W
Center-positive 1.7/4.0 mm circular plug, 9.5 mm length
Reset Button
The reset button can be used to return the AP to factory default settings. To reset
the AP:
1. Power off the AP.
2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a
paperclip.
3. Power-on the AP without releasing the reset button. The power LED will
flash within 5 seconds.
4. Release the reset button.
The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is
completed. The AP will now continue to boot with the factory default settings.
Before You Begin
AP Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing your IAP-200 Series IAP, ensure that you have the following:
CAT5e or better UTP cable of required length
One of the following power sources:
IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. The POE
source can be any power source equipment (PSE) controller or midspan
PSE device
Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)
Summary of the Setup Process
Successful setup of an IAP-200 Series access point consists of five tasks, which
must be performed in this order:
1. Identify the specific installation location for each AP.
2. Install each AP.
3. Verify post-installation connectivity.
4. Configure the virtual controller. Refer to the Aruba Instant Quick Start
Guide.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the IAP-200 Series access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use
the AP placement map generated by Aruba’s Airwave VisualRF 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
VisualRF 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 AP
Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter
The IAP-200 Series ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16” and 15/16”
ceiling rails. Additional wall mount adapters and ceiling rail adapters for other
rail styles are available as accessory kits.
1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near
where the AP will be placed.
2. Place the adapter against the back of the AP with the adapter at an angle of
approximately 30 degrees to the tabs (see Figure 7).
3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure
7).
The IAP-200 Series requires Aruba Instant 4.2 or later.
Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If
possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use
these materials to repack and return the unit to the supplier if needed.

Aruba Networks, Inc., in compliance with governmental requirements, has
designed the IAP-200 Series access points so that only authorized network
administrators can change the settings. For more information about AP
configuration, refer to the Aruba Instant Quick Start Guide and Aruba
Instant User Guide.
!
Access points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to
governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the
configuration and operation of access points must comply with local
broadcast regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel
assignm ents appropriate to the location in which the access point will be
used.
Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained
service personnel only.
!
Maximum supported weight of the ceiling rail adapter is 3.75 kg.
!
Make sure the AP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging the
device from the ceiling, because poor installation could cause it to fall onto
people or equipment.
