RAP-5WN Overview
Rear View
Figure 1 Rear View
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet Port
The RAP-5WN has one 10/100/1000Base-T port used wired connectivity.
10/100Base-T Ethernet Ports
The RAP-5WN has four 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) ethernet ports for wired network
connectivity. These are ports 1 through 4.
DC IN (Power Socket)
The device is turned on when the attached power adapter (included) is plugged
into a power source (outlet). The device turns off by unplugging the device from
the power source.
USB Port
The purpose of this USB port is to support Cellular modems.
Reset Button
To reset the RAP-5WN, insert a small, narrow object, such as a pin or paperclip,
into the hole indicated in Figure 1 and press and hold the button while powering
on the RAP-5WN. This will return the device to factory default settings.

The Aruba AP Setup
Installation
The RAP-5WN is shipped with a stand to use on flat (i.e. table top) surfaces.
Place the RAP-5WN in the stand (see Figure 3) and place the stand on a flat, level
surface.
Figure 3 Stand Installation
Connecting the Cables
You must connect the RAP-5WN 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-5WN.
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-5WN.
4. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet.
The POWER LED is lit (solid green) when the RAP-5WN is receiving power.
Verifying Successful Installation
Once the RAP-5WN’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-5WN, complete
the following steps after the RAP-5WN has been powered.
1. Connect one end of a second RJ-45 cable to port 1 on the RAP-5WN 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 4), requesting the IP address of
the master controller. Enter the IP address provided to you by your IT
administrator.
The RAP-5WN will connect to the designated master controller and download
the necessary provisioning information. When the RAP-5WN comes back up, it is
ready to use.
Figure 4 Manual Provisioning Page
When the RAP-5WN has been successfully provisioned, a screen (Figure 5)
appears. This screen displays network information pertaining to the connection
between the RAP-5WN and its controller.
Figure 5 Provisioning Successful
Once completed successfully, disconnect the RJ-45 cable from your computer
and the E1 port on the RAP-5WN and restart your browser.
If your RAP-5WN does not provision successfully, the screen indicates where the
failure occurred, as shown in Figure 6. If this (or a similar) screen appears,
contact your IT administrator.
Figure 6 Unable to Complete Provisioning Process
Local Debugging
The RAP-5WN includes built-in local debugging capabilities that allow you to
report information about the RAP-5WN 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-5WN, 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-5WN 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-5WN (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.
