Altering this device (such as painting it) voids the warranty.
LAN segment or directly to an Aruba Controller. Use a 4- or 8-conductor, Cate-
gory 5 UTP cable up to 100 m (325 feet) long.
The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is on the back of the AP. The port has an RJ-
45 female connector with the pin-outs shown in .
Figure 6 Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-Out
Serial Console Port
The serial console port (Console) allows you to connect the AP to a serial
terminal or a laptop for direct local management. This port is an RJ-45 female
connector with the pinouts described in Figure 7. Connect this port directly to a
terminal or terminal server using an Ethernet cable.
Use a modular adapter to convert the RJ-45 (female) connector on the AP to a
DB-9 (male) connector, and connect the adapter to a laptop using an RS-232
cable. See Figure 8 for connector details of the adapter.

Power Connection
The AP-92/AP-93 has a single 12V DC power jack socket to support powering
through an AC-to-DC power adapter.
Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity
.The integrated LEDs on the AP can be used to verify that the AP is receiving
power and initializing successfully (see Table 1). Refer to the ArubaOS Quick
Start Guide for further details on verifying post-installation network connectivity
Configuring the AP-92/AP-93
AP Provisioning/Reprovisioning
Provisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These local AP parameters are
initially configured on the controller which are then pushed out to the AP and
stored on the AP itself. Aruba recommends that provisioning settings be
configured via the ArubaOS Web UI only. Refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for
complete details.
AP Configuration
Configuration parameters are network or controller specific and are configured
and stored on the controller. Network configuration settings are pushed out to
the AP(s) but remain stored on the controller.
Configuration settings can be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI, ArubaOS CLI,
or Aruba MMS. Refer to their respective guides for further details: the ArubaOS
User Guide or Aruba Mobility Management System User Guide.

Aruba products, see our website at
www.arubanetworks.com.
Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Aruba products at end of life are subject to separate collection
and treatment in the EU Member States, Norway, and
Switzerland and therefore are marked with the symbol shown at
the left (crossed-out wheelie bin). The treatment applied at end
of life of these products in these countries shall comply with the
applicable national laws of countries implementing Directive
2002/96EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
European Union RoHS
Aruba products also comply with the EU Restriction of
Hazardous Substances Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS). EU
RoHS restricts the use of specific hazardous materials in
the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment.
Specifically, restricted materials under the RoHS Directive are Lead (including
Solder used in printed circuit assemblies), Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent
Chromium, and Bromine. Some Aruba products are subject to the exemptions
listed in RoHS Directive Annex 7 (Lead in solder used in printed circuit
assemblies). Products and packaging will be marked with the “RoHS” label
shown at the left indicating conformance to this Directive.
China RoHS
Aruba products also comply with China environmental declaration
requirements and are labeled with the “EFUP 10” label shown at the
left.
