Ethernet Ports
The 7005 controller is equipped with four 10/100/ 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports (0 to 3). Gigabit
Ethernet uses all eight wires and each pair is bi-directional, which means, the same pair is used for both
data transmission and data reception. Figure 3 illustrates the Gigabit Ethernet port pin-out for a RJ-45
connector. The pins paired on a 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet port are: 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8.
Figure 3 Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-Out
Ethernet Port LEDs
Each 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port is equipped with two LEDs allowing you to monitor the status and
activity on the port. These LEDs provide basic monitoring of the status and activity of each port.
LINK/ACT: Placed on the left side of the port, and displays the link status and activity of the port.
STATUS: Placed on the right side of the port, and displays the status of the port based on the
information displayed by this LED changes based on LCD’s mode.

The serial console port allows you to connect the controller 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 4. Connect it
directly to a terminal or terminal server using an Ethernet cable.

Serial Console Port Adaptor
A modular adaptor can be used to convert the female RJ-45 connector to a male DB9 connector. See Figure
5for complete details.

Mini USB Console Connector
The Aruba 7005 controller is equipped with one Mini USB (type B) connector that provides console access
for direct local access. If both Mini USB and RJ-45 Console ports are connected, the Mini USB connection
takes precedence over the RJ-45 Console connection.
Mini USB Driver
To use the Mini USB console port, you must install the Aruba Mini USB driver on the computer that will
manage your controller. To download the driver, perform the following steps:
1. Go to https://support.arubanetworks.com.
2. Click on the Tools & Resources tab.
3. Open the USB Console Driver folder.
4. Open the Mobility Controller and Mobility Access Switch folder.
5. Select the appropriate file for your application. The corresponding operating system is in the file name.
USB Interface
The Aruba 7005 controller is equipped with a USB 2.0 interface. A USB storage device can be used to save
and upload configurations to the controller.
Power and Status LEDs
The front panel also includes power and status LEDs that provide basic monitoring of the overall status of

Kensington Security Slot
The Aruba 7005 controller is equipped with a Kensington security slot for additional security.
DC Power Socket
The AC-DC adapter kit with the following specification is used to power the Aruba 7005 controller:
12 VDC power interface
Center-positive 1.7/4.0 mm circular plug, 9.5 mm length
Installing the 7005 Controller
Using the Integrated Wall-Mounting Slots
The keyhole-shaped slots on the bottom of the controller can be used to attach the device upright (front
port facing downwards) to an indoor wall or shelf.
Since the ports are on the front of the device, make sure that you mount the controller is such a way that
there is a clear path to the Ethernet port, such as a predrilled hole in the mounting surface.
1. At the mounting location, install two screws on the wall or shelf, 120 mm apart. See Figure 6. If you are
attaching the device to drywall, it is recommended that you use appropriate wall anchors (not included).
