The Aruba AP Setup
Installation
The RAP-5 is equipped with four rubber feet to prevent sliding when placed on a
desk or other flat surface. Additionally, the rubber feet prevent possible damage
to the flat surface.
Connecting the Cables
You must connect the RAP-5 to a network device that has access to the Internet,
such as a router or modem.
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 cable to port 0 on the RAP-5.
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-5.
4. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet.
The POWER LED is lit (solid green) when the RAP-5 is receiving power.
Verifying Successful Installation
Once the RAP-5’s PWR LED has come up and 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-5, complete the
following steps after the RAP-5 has been powered.
1. Connect one end of a second RJ-45 cable to port 1 on the RAP-5 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 3), requesting the IP address of
the master controller. Enter the IP address provided to you by your IT
administrator.
The RAP-5 will connect to the designated master controller and download the
necessary provisioning information. When the RAP-5 comes back up, it is ready
to use.
Figure 3 Manual Provisioning Page
When the RAP-5 has been successfully provisioned, a screen (Figure 4) appears.
This screen displays network information pertaining to the connection between
the RAP-5 and its controller.
Figure 4 Provisioning Successful
If your RAP-5 does not provision successfully, the screen indicates where the
failure occurred, as shown in Figure 5. If this (or a similar) screen appears,
contact your IT administrator.

Local Debugging
The RAP-5 includes built-in local debugging capabilities that allow you to report
information about the RAP-5 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-5, 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-5 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-5 (plug-in the power cord) while still holding down the
reset button.
4. Wait for the power 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.
