Ethernet Port
The AP12 is equipped with a 10/100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDX Ethernet port. This port supports wirednetwork connectivity, in addition to Power over Ethernet (PoE) from IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at compliant power sources. This device accepts 56V DC (802.3at), or 48V DC (802.3af) nominal as a standard powered device (PD) from power sourcing equipment, including PoE midspan injector or a PoE-sourcing network infrastructure.

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
If PoE is not available, a proprietary Aruba 12V/30W power adapter can be used to power the AP12 access point. This power adapter is available in the box if you buy the AP12 and power adapter bundle. Additionally, a locally-sourced AC-to-DC adapter (or any DC source) can be used to power this device, as long as it complies with all applicable local regulatory requirements and the DC interface meets the following specifications: 12 Vdc (+/- 5%) and at least 18W Center-positive 2.1/5.5 mm circular plug, 9.5 mm length
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.
Cable Clips
The cable clips on the rear of the access point is used to organize Ethernet cables, as shown in Figure 3. The use of the cable clips is optional and does not support all types of cables and plugs.

Before You Begin
Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.
The AP12 access point is designed in compliance with governmental requirements so that only authorized network administrators can change the settings.
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 have been accounted for during the planning phase and adjusted.
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.
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
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the access point. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
Access Point Installation
The installer is responsible for securing the access point onto the ceiling tile rail in accordance with the steps below. Failure to properly install this product may result in physical injury and/or damage to property.
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.
The AP12 access point ships with the following two mount brackets. You can choose one of them to install the AP: A ceiling mount bracket (see Figure 4) to attach the AP to a 9/16" or 15/16" flat T-bar drop-tile ceiling. A wall/ceiling mount bracket (see Figure 8)to attach the AP to a solid, flat surface, such as a wall or ceiling. The following sections provide instructions on how to use these mount brackets.
Using the Ceiling Mount Bracket
Figure 4 Ceiling Mount Bracket
1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near where the access point will be placed.
2. Place the mount bracket against the back of the access point with the mount bracket at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to the tabs (see Figure 5).
3. Twist the mount bracket clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure 5).

Using the Wall/Ceiling Mount Bracket
Figure 8 Wall/Ceiling Mount Bracket
There are two ways to use the wall/ceiling mount bracket to mount the AP to a solid surface: Bracket-to-Solid Surface Option (Install the bracket to a solid surface and then attach the AP) AP-to-Bracket Option (Attach the bracket to the AP and then attach it to a wall)
Bracket-to-Solid Surface Option
1. Attach the plastic mount bracket to any solid surface, such as a wall or ceiling, as shown in Figure 9. a. Install any necessary wall anchors. Wall anchors are not included in the package. b. Align the screw holes in the mount bracket with the previously installed anchors or demarcated screw points. c. Insert two screws to secure the mount bracket. Screws are not included in the package.

2. Attach the AP to the secured mount bracket as shown in Figure 10. a. Align the AP with the mount bracket, placing the AP so that it's mounting tabs are at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to the mount bracket.
3. Pushing towards the solid surface, rotate the AP clockwise until it clicks into place (see Figure 10).
Figure 10 Attaching the AP to the Mount Bracket
AP-to-Bracket Option
This mounting option works only with a wall.

2. Twist the bracket clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure 11). Figure 11 Bracket Installation
3. Install two screws (and wall anchors if necessary), one above the other. Do not fully insert the screws into the wall. Leave enough space between the screw head and the wall for the bracket.
4. Align the keyhole slots on the back of the bracket with the screws installed in step 3. 5. Place the larger opening on the keyhole slot over the screw and pull the AP down until it is securely attached
to the screws (see Figure 12). Figure 12 AP-Bracket Wall Installation
