650 Series Campus Access Points
Installation Guide
The Aruba 650 Series Campus access points are high-performance, multi-radio wireless devices that can be
deployed in either controller-based (ArubaAOS) or controllerless (InstantOS) network environments. These
access points support the 802.11ax standard in the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands with a 4x4 MIMO tri-radio
WI-Fi 6E platform. Additionally, 650 Series Campus access points provide dual wired 5Gbps Smart Rate
Ethernet network interfaces that enhance their performance and client capacity.

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.
Use one of the following methods to reset the access point to factory default settings:
nTo reset during normal operation:
lHold the reset button for more than 10 seconds while the access point is running.
lRelease the reset button.
nTo reset during power up, hold the reset button while the access point is powering up.
The system status LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is completed. The access
point will now continue to boot with the factory default settings.
To toggle the LED display between Off and Blinking, during the normal operation of the access point, shortly
press and release the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip.
Power
Both Ethernet ports support PoE-in, allowing the AP to draw power from an 802.3at/802.3bt PoE power
source|PoE input rating is 57V max|0.3A. 0.3A is per pair of wires in Ethernet cable. Ethernet cable has 4 pair
of wires totally.” When the AP is powered by both E0 and E1 ports simultaneously, the AP can be configured by
management software to source PoE power from either port, or to combine power from both ports an 802.3af
source may be used.
PoEinput rating is 57V max | 3.0A is per pair of wires in Ethernet cable. Ethernet cable has 4 pair of wires totally.
Before You Begin
Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process
FCC Statement:Improper termination of access points installed in the United States configured to non-US model con-
trollers will be in violation of the FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional violation may res-
ult in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination of operation and may be subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80).
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing your 650 Series access points, ensure that you have the following:
nA mount kit compatible with the APand mount surface
Rev 01 | March 2022 | 5

6| Rev 01|March 2022
nCat5E or better UTP cable with network access
Optional items
nA compatible power adapter with cord
nA compatible PoEmidspan injector with power cord
nAn AP-CBL-SERUconsole cable
nAn AP-MOD-SERU console module
Also, make sure at least one of the following network services is supported:
nAruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
nDNS server with an “A” record
nDHCP Server with vendor specific options
Aruba, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the 650 Series access points so that only
authorized network administrators can change configuration settings. For more information about AP configuration,
refer to theAP Software Quick Start Guide.
If a power adapter other than the Aruba-approved adapter is used in the US or Canada, it should be NRTL listed, with
an output rated 12V DC, minimum 4A, marked “LPS” and “Class 2,” and suitable for plugging into a standard power
receptacle in the US and Canada.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
Use the access point placement map generated by Aruba 650 Series RF Plan software application to determine
the proper installation location(s). 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 for in RF plan.
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:
nCement/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.
nNatural Items—Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees
nBrick
RF reflectors include:
nMetal 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.
nDo 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:
nMicrowave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones)
nCordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch rooms
