Aruba 610 Series Campus Access Points | Installation Guide 5
To toggle the LED display between Off and Normal:
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. 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.
Before You Begin
Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing your 610 Series access point, be sure that you have the following (not included with the access point):
A mount kit compatible with the AP and mount surface
A Cat5E or better UTP cable with network access
Optional items:
A compatible power adapter with cord
A compatible PoE midspan injector with power cord
An AP-CBL-SERU console cable
An AP-MOD-SERU console module
Also, make sure at least one of the following network services is supported:
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Discovery Protocol (ADP)
DNS server with an “A” record
DHCP Server with vendor-specific options
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
Use the access point placement map generated by the Aruba 6540 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:
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.
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.

FCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in the United States configured to non-US
model controllers will be in violation of the FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such wilful or intentional
violation may result in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination of operation and may be subject to
forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80).
Aruba, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the 610 Series access points so that only
authorized network administrators can change configuration settings. For more information about AP
configuration, refer to the AP Software Quick Start Guide
