10/100Base-T Ethernet Ports
The RAP-2WG has two 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) Ethernet ports for wired network
connectivity.
zE0: Uplink port
zE1: LAN port
DC IN (Power Socket)
The RAP-2WG power adapter (included) connects to the DC IN port. The RAP-
2WG does not have an On/Off switch. The device turns on when the power
adapter is attached and plugged into a power outlet. The device turns off when
you disconnect the power adapter from the power source (outlet).
Antenna
The antenna allows client devices to connect to the RAP-2WG wirelessly.

Reset Button
To reset the RAP-2WG, insert a small, narrow object, such as a pin or paperclip,
into the hole indicated in Figure 3 and press the button for 5 seconds, while
powering on the RAP-2WG. This returns the RAP-2WG to factory defaults.
Wall Mount Slots
The wall mount slots illustrated in Figure 3 accommodate mounting the RAP-
2WG on the wall or other vertical surfaces. Mounting hardware is not included.
RAP-2WG Installation
Tabletop Mounting
The RAP-2WG is equipped with four rubber feet designed to support the device
on a flat surface without damaging it. Install the RAP-2WG on a flat level surface.
Wall Mounting
The wall mount slots, on the back of the RAP-2WG, accommodate wall mounting
or mounting to other vertical surfaces.
1. Install two screws in the wall or vertical surface. If attaching the device to
drywall, Aruba recommends using appropriate wall anchors (not included).
2. Align the AP mounting slots to capture the surface screws (see Figure 4).
Figure 4 Built-in Wall Mount Slots
Connecting the Required Cables
The RAP-2WG must be connected to a network device that has access to the
Internet, such as a router or modem. To complete the installation of the RAP-
2WG:
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 cable to port E0 on the RAP-2WG.
2. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to a free RJ-45 port on your modem
or router.
3. Attach the provided power adapter to the DC IN port on the RAP-2WG.
4. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet.
The RAP-2WG is now powered on. To verify this, ensure that the PWR LED is
solid green.
Verifying Successful Installation
Once the RAP-2WG’s PWR LED has come up, the device will take 2 to 3 minutes
to complete the boot cycle. Once the boot cycle is complete, you can connect to
your company or corporate network.
Provisioning at Home
If your IT administrator instructed you to provision your RAP-2WG, complete
the following steps after the RAP-2WG has been powered.
1. Connect one end of a second RJ-45 cable to port E1 on the RAP-2WG and the
other end to your computer.
2. Open a web browser and navigate to any URL.
3. An Aruba web page will appear (see Figure 5), requesting the IP address of
the master controller. Enter the IP address provided to you by your IT
administrator.
The RAP-2WG will connect to the designated master controller and download
the necessary provisioning information. When the RAP-2WG comes back up,
it is ready to use.
Figure 5 Manual Provisioning Page
When the RAP-2WG has been successfully provisioned, a screen (Figure 6)
appears. This screen displays network information pertaining to the
connection between the RAP-2WG and its controller.
Figure 6 Provisioning Successful
It takes approximately 5 minutes provisioning process to be completed.
4. Once completed successfully, disconnect the RJ-45 cable from your
computer and the E1 port on the RAP-2WG.
5. Restart your browser.
If your RAP-2WG does not provision successfully, the screen indicates where the
failure occurred, as shown in Figure 7. If this (or a similar) screen appears,
contact your IT administrator.
Figure 7 Unable to Complete Provisioning Process
Local Debugging
The RAP-2WG includes built-in local debugging capabilities that allow you to
report information about the RAP-2WG to your IT administrator. To access this
tool, please contact your IT administrator.
Troubleshooting
If your computer is to obtain an IP from the RAP-2WG, try the following trouble
shooting steps. If the procedure is not successful, contact your IT administrator.
1. Unplug the Power and Ethernet cables.
2. Reset the RAP-2WG to its factory default setting by holding down the reset
button (use a pin or paperclip to hold down the button).
3. Power on the RAP-2WG (plug-in the power cord) while still holding down the
reset button.
4. Wait for the status LED to start blinking (about 5 seconds) then release the
reset button.
5. Plug-in your WAN connection to port 0.
6. Connect your laptop to port 1 using the RJ-45 cable.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
zReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
zIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.
zConnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
zConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-
limited to channels 1 through 11.
The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands
are country dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the
intended destination. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.
Industry Canada Statement
This device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference and
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum
gain of 1.5 dBi.
Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry
Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful
communication.
