LEDs
The AP11D access point has three LEDs that indicate the system, radio and PSE status of the device.
The PSE LED indicates when the access point is operating as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), providing Power
over Ethernet (PoE) to an external device that is physically connected to the E3 port by Ethernet cable.

Ethernet Ports
The AP11D access point is equipped with four active Ethernet ports (E0/PT-E3), shown in Figure 2 (E0) and Figure
3(E1-E3). In addition, the AP11D has a pair of passive pass-through ports (PT and E0/PT), which provide an
electrical connection between the back and the bottom of the access point.
The E0/PT port, located at the back of the access point is a 10/100/1000Base-T, auto-sensing, MDI/MDX
wired-network uplink connectivity RJ45 port. It supports IEEE 802.3af/802.3at PoE as a standard Powered Device
(PD) from Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), such as a midspan injector, or a network infrastructure that supports
PoE.
The E1-E3 ports, located at the bottom of the access point are 10/100/1000Base-T auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-
network downlink connectivity RJ45 ports. These ports are used to provide secure network connectivity to wired
devices when physically linked using an Ethernet cable.
Additionally, the E3 port supports PoE-out functionality, and is capable of supplying up to 15.4W to PSE when the
access point is operating in 802.3at PoE mode, or powered by a DC source.
Network Status (E1-E3)
The Network Status LEDs, located on the sides of the E1-E3 ports, indicates activity transmitted to/from the wired
ports. See Table 2.

Reset Button
The reset button located on the bottom of the device can be used to reset the access point to factory default
settings or turn off/on the LED display.
There are two ways to reset the access point to factory default settings:
Reset the AP during normal operation
Press and hold down the reset button using a small, narrow object such as a paper clip for more than 10
seconds during normal operation.
Reset the AP while powering up
1. Press and hold down the reset button using a small, narrow object such as a paper clip while the access point
is not powered on (either via DC power or PoE).
2. Connect the power supply (DC or PoE) to the access point while the reset button is being held down.
3. Release the reset button on the access point after 15 seconds.
To turn off/on the LED display, press and release the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a
paperclip for less than 10 seconds during normal operation of the access point.
Power
The AP11D access point supports up to 48V DC when using a proprietary Aruba power adapter. This power
adapter is available in the box if you buy the AP11D and power adapter bundle.
When both 802.3at and DC power sources are available, the DC power source takes precedence. The access
point simultaneously draws a minimal current from the PoE source. In the event that the DC source fails, the
access point switches to the 802.3at source.
The AP15 operates without restriction when powered by 802.3at compliant and DC power sources. In this mode,
the PSE functionality is enabled on port E3, supplying a maximum output of 15.4W to the wired device. When
powered by an 802.3af PoE source, the access point operates in power-save mode. In this mode, PSE
functionality is disabled.

Before You Begin
Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
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 be accounted for during the planning phase and adjusted.
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
Access Point installation
Desk Mount
The AP11D access point is shipped with pre-installed desk stand and a short Ethernet jumper cable. The Ethernet
jumper cable bridges the E0 port and PT port on the back, moving E0 to the E0/PT port on the bottom of the AP,
so you can insert the uplink Ethernet cable into E0/PT port on the bottom of the AP11D for wired connection or
PoE.
Wall Box Mount
For wall box installation scenario, you can remove the AP11D access point from the desk stand and use the
included mount bracket to mount the AP11D to the wall box.
1. Use an appropriate screwdriver to loosen the two M2.5 x 12 Phillips head screws on the back of the desk
stand, and remove the screws from the desk stand as shown in Figure 5.
The AP11D access point is designed in compliance with governmental requirements so that only authorized
network administrators can change the settings.
!
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in
improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to
verify that they are operating normally.
!
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this
equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this
equipment and result in improper operation.

3. Remove the Ethernet jumper cable if necessary.
4. Removing the existing data wall plate (if applicable).
5. Remove any existing RJ45 connectors (typically snap-in) or cut the UTP cable.
6. Use the Ethernet cable to connect the E0 port to an RJ45 connector or crimp an RJ45 plug (not supplied) on
the cable and insert in the E0 port.
7. Align the mount bracket’s mounting holes with the mounting holes on the wall box, as shown in Figure 7 and
Figure 8.
The applicable standards for the wall boxes are:
