Frequently Asked Questions - Instant IAP-175 Aruba

What are the main differences between the IAP-175P and IAP-175AC models?

The IAP-175P is powered via 802.3at PoE+ and does not have an AC power connector. The IAP-175AC is powered by 100-240 VAC and can also act as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) delivering 802.3af PoE to connected devices. Temperature ranges differ: IAP-175P operates from -30°C to 60°C, while IAP-175AC operates from -40°C to 55°C.

Which antennas are compatible with the IAP-175?

The IAP-175 has four N-type female antenna interfaces. For 2.4 GHz, use antennas connected to the R1 radio interfaces; for 5 GHz, use the R0 radio interfaces. Only outdoor-rated, detachable antennas should be used.

How do I mount the IAP-175 on a wall or pole?

The included mounting bracket attaches to the AP with two M6 bolts. For pole mounting, use the four M8 bolts and pole anchors to secure the bracket to the pole. For wall mounting, drill holes for masonry anchors, then attach the bracket with expansion screws. Finally, connect the AP to the bracket.

What is the recommended method for weatherproofing connections?

Weatherproofing involves three layers: first, wrap electrical tape around the connector (at least two layers); second, apply a single wrap of butyl rubber tape; third, finish with four layers of electrical tape. Always wrap so that water is directed away from the connector. Do not cover antenna weep holes.

How do I ground the IAP-175?

Use a grounding cable with a cross-section of at least 6 mm². Attach a copper lug to the cable, then fasten it to the grounding hole on the AP using the M4 x12 bolt and external-tooth washer. The ground resistance must be less than 5 ohms. Always ground before connecting power.

Can the IAP-175 be used as a wireless bridge or mesh node?

Yes, the IAP-175 supports enterprise mesh point and enterprise mesh portal modes. For optimal performance, ensure a clear radio line-of-sight with no obstacles within 60% of the first Fresnel zone. Antenna height and alignment are critical for long-distance links.

What is the maximum Ethernet cable length for the IAP-175?

The Ethernet cable length should not exceed 90 meters (295 feet). For outdoor installations, use the included weatherproof connector kit to protect the RJ-45 connection from moisture.

What LED indicators are available on the IAP-175?

The front panel has LEDs for Power/Ready, Ethernet link, and Radio status for R0 and R1. Additionally, each radio has a four-LED RSSI array showing signal strength (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Specific behavior differs slightly between the IAP-175P and IAP-175AC models.

What are the safety and regulatory compliance requirements?

The device complies with FCC Part 15 Class B and Industry Canada RSS-210. Maintain a minimum distance of 35 cm (13.78 in) from the body for RF exposure. Installation must be performed by a professional installer and must include proper grounding and lightning protection (using Aruba AP-LAR-1 arrestors).

How do I connect the Ethernet cable with the weatherproof connector kit?

For the IAP-175P, slide the sealing nut and seal ring onto the cable, then insert the cable through the weatherproof connector socket. Crimp the included shielded RJ-45 connector, then pull it into the socket. Tighten the sealing nut and locknut. For the IAP-175AC, follow a similar procedure using the clamp ring and shield rings. Finally, weatherproof the connection with tape and butyl rubber.

3 Reserved (IAP-175P) or Power Interface (IAP-175AC)		7 Ethernet Interface (PoE)
4 Antenna Interface (Radio 0) 8 Grounding Point

Antenna Interface

The IAP-175 requires the use of detachable outdoor-rated antennas. Select the correct antenna type to support the required frequency band (2.4 or 5 GHz) and the desired coverage pattern.

The IAP-175 is equipped with four, female N-type antenna interfaces; two on the top of the AP and two on the bottom. The interfaces are grouped into diversity pairs, one pair is marked R0 (Radio 0) and the other pair marked as R1 (Radio 1). R0 supports the 5 GHz frequency band and R1 supports the 2.4 GHz radio band.

USB Console Interface

A USB serial console port is provided for connection to a terminal, allowing direct local management. Use the included USB console cable to connect to the AP. You can download the necessary driver for USB-UART adapter from support.arubanetworks.com under the Tools & Resources tab.

Use the following setting to access the terminal:

Table 1 Console Settings

Baud Rate	Data Bits	Parity	Stop Bits	Flow Control
9600	8	None	1	None

Power Interface

The type of power interface on your IAP-175 depends on which model you have purchased.

• IAP-175P: This version does not include a power interface since it is only powered by PoE+ (802.3at).
  • IAP-175AC: 1x AC power connector

For the IAP-175AC, only use the AC power cord with model number CBL-AC-INTL.

The IAP-175 is equipped with a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port for wired network connectivity. On the IAP-175P, this port also supports IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE), accepting 48 VDC as a standards-defined powered device (PD) from a power sourcing equipment (PSE) device, such as a PoE midspan injector. Inversely, the IAP-175AC can act as a PSE device to provide IEEE802.3af PoE power to devices connected to the Ethernet port.

Grounding Point

Always remember to protect your IAP-175 by installing grounding lines. The ground connection must be complete before connecting power to the IAP-175 enclosure. Ensure that the resistance is less than 5 ohm between the ground termination point and the grounding tier.

IAP-175P LED Status Indicators

The IAP-175 include visual indicators for power, link, and radio status. Additionally, each radio has a four-LED array that indicates received signal strength (RSSI).

The RSSI LED indicators represent varying degrees in the RSSI level. The absence of a signal is indicated by no LED response, and full signal strength is indicated when all four LEDs are active and lit.

Outdoor Planning and Deployment Considerations

Prior to deploying an outdoor wireless network, the environment must be evaluated to plan for a successful Aruba WLAN deployment. Successfully evaluating the environment enables the proper selection of Aruba APs and antennas and assists in the determination of their placement for optimal RF coverage. This process is considered WLAN or RF planning and Aruba's system engineers can assist in the outdoor planning process.

Improper termination of access points installed in the United States configured to non_US model controllers will be violation of the FCC Grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional violation may result in a requirements by FCC to immediate termination of operation and my be subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80).

Scale Requirements

The potentially immense scale of outdoor deployments requires consideration of factors that may not be as important in a typical indoor deployment:

- Range (distance): Range or distance between APs must be taken into account during the planning phase. Available AP mounting locations are often far less flexible in an outdoor environment. Regardless of these outdoor restrictions, the desired goal is to achieve results similar to an indoor deployment: a “dense” RF deployment that supports advanced Aruba features, such as ARM, efficient client roaming, and failover.

- Elevation: Proper consideration and planning for elevation differences between APs (AP to AP) and AP to Client can be critical to success. To plan for these differences in elevation, it is important to understand the 3D coverage pattern provided by the antennas that will be deployed in the environment.

- Non-Fixed Considerations: The RF environment might change on a day to day basis. Keep non-fixed items, such as shipping containers, vehicles, and future building construction, in mind when planning for an outdoor deployment.

Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interferences Sources

Identifying known RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources while out in the field during the installation phase is critical. Even though outdoor environments consist of fewer RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources compared to indoor environments, ensure that these sources are identified and taken into consideration when installing and mounting an AP to its fixed outdoor location.

RF Absorbers

• Cement/Concrete
  • Natural Items: Trees/vegetation
• Brick

RF Reflectors

- Metal Objects: Roof-installed air-conditioning equipment, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), other wire fences, or water pipes

RF Interference Sources

• Other 802.11a/b/g/n or broadband access equipment operating nearby
- Industrial RF welding equipment or other Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) equipment that utilizes RF to heat or alter the physical properties of materials
• Military, Commercial Aviation or Weather Radar Systems

Line of Sight (Radio Path Planning)

A wireless bridge or mesh link requires a “radio line of sight” between the two antennas for optimum performance. The concept of radio line of sight involves the area along a link through which the bulk of the radio signal power travels. This area is known as the first Fresnel Zone of the radio link. For a radio link, no object (including the ground) must intrude within 60% of the first Fresnel Zone.

Figure 4 illustrates the concept of a good radio line of sight.

Figure 4 Line of Sight

Visual Line of Sight Radio Line of Sight

If there are obstacles in the radio path, there may still be a radio link but the quality and strength of the signal will be affected. Calculating the maximum clearance from objects on a path is important as it directly

affects the decision on antenna placement and height. It is especially critical for long-distance links, where the radio signal could easily be lost.

When planning the radio path for a wireless bridge or mesh link, consider these factors:

• Avoid any partial line of sight between the antennas
• Be cautious of trees or other foliage that may be near the path, or may grow and obstruct the path.
• Be sure there is enough clearance from buildings and that no building construction may eventually block the path.
• For very long distance links, the curvature of the earth (20 cm per km) may need to be considered in the calculation of relative heights.
• Check the topology of the land between the antennas using topographical maps, aerial photos, or even satellite image data (software packages are available that may include this information for your area)
• Avoid a path that may incur temporary blockage due to the movement of cars, trains, or aircraft.

Antenna Height

A reliable wireless bridge or mesh link is usually best achieved by mounting the antennas at each end high enough for a clear radio line of sight between them. The minimum height required depends on the distance of the link, obstacles that may be in the path, topology of the terrain, and the curvature of the earth (for links over 3 miles).

For long-distance links, the AP may have to be mounted on masts or poles that are tall enough to attain the minimum required clearance. Use the following table to estimate the required minimum clearance above the ground or path obstruction (for 5 GHz bridge links).

Table 4 Antenna Minimum Height and Clearance Requirements

Total Link Distance	Max Clearance for 60% of First Fresnel Zone at 5.8 GHz	Approximate Clearance for Earth Curvature	Total Clearance Required at Mid-point of Link
0.25 mile (0.402 km) 4.6 ft (1.4 m) 0.007 ft (0.002 m)	4.6 ft (1.4 m)
0.5 mile (0.805 km) 6.2 ft (1.9 m) 0.03 ft (0.010 m)	6.2 ft (1.9 m)
1 mile (1.6 km) 8.9 ft (2.7 m) 0.13 ft (0.04 m) 8.9 ft (2.7 m)
2 miles (3.2 km) 12.5 ft (3.8 m) 0.5 ft (0.15 m) 13.1 ft (4.0 m)
3 miles (4.8 km) 15.4 ft (4.7 m) 1.0 ft (0.3 m)	16.4 ft (5.0 m)
4 miles (6.4 km) 17.7 ft (5.4 m) 2.0 ft (0.6 m)	19.7 ft (6.0 m)
5 miles (8 km)	20 ft (6.1 m)	3.0 ft (0.9 m)	23 ft (7.0 m)
7 miles (11.3 km)	23.6 ft (7.2 m) 6.2 ft (1.9 m)	30 ft (9.1 m)
9 miles (14.5 km)	27 ft (8.2 m)	10.2 ft (3.1 m) 37 ft (11.3 m)
12 miles (19.3 km)	30.8 ft (9.4 m)	18.0 ft (5.5 m)	49 ft (14.9 m)
15 miles (24.1 km)	34.4 ft (10.5 m)	28.0 ft (8.5 m)	62.7 ft (19.1 m)

To avoid any obstruction along the path, the height of the object must be added to the minimum clearance required for a clear radio line of sight. Consider the following simple example, illustrated in Figure 5.

Figure 5 Antenna Height and Line of Sight

Visual Line of Sight 3 miles (4.8 km) Radio Line of Sight 2.4 m A 4.7 m B 1.4 m 20 m 17.7 m 9 m 12 m

A wireless bridge or mesh link is deployed to connect building A to building B, which is located three miles (4.8 km) away. Mid-way between the two buildings is a small tree-covered hill. From the above table it can be seen that for a three-mile link, the object clearance required at the mid-point is 4.7 m (15.4 ft). The tree tops on the hill are at an elevation of 17.7 m (58.1 ft), so the antennas at each end of the link need to be at least 22.4 m (73.5 ft) high. Building A is six stories high, or 20 m (66 ft), so a 2.4 m (7.9 ft) mast or pole must be constructed on its roof to achieve the required antenna height. Building B is only three stories high, or 9 m (30 ft), but is located at an elevation that is 12 m (39 ft) higher than building A. To mount an antenna at the required height on building B, a mast or pole of 1.4 m (4.6 ft) is needed.

Never construct a radio mast, pole, or tower near overhead power lines.

Local regulations may limit or prevent construction of a high radio mast or tower. If your wireless bridge or mesh link requires a high radio mast or tower, consult a professional contractor for advice.

Antenna Position and Orientation

Once the required antenna height has been determined, other factors affecting the precise position of the wireless bridge or mesh link must be considered:

• Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft) of the wireless bridge or mesh link. These include other WiFi radio antennas.
• Place the wireless bridge or mesh link away from power and telephone lines.
• Avoid placing the wireless bridge or mesh link too close to any metallic reflective surfaces, such as roof-installed air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water pipes. Ensure that there is at least 5 feet clearance from such objects.
• The wireless bridge or mesh link antennas at both ends of the link must be positioned with the same polarization direction, either horizontal or vertical. Proper alignment helps to maximize throughput.

Radio Interference

The avoidance of radio interference is an important part of wireless link planning. Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 802.11a/b/g channel frequencies. Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from another signal.

If radio interference is still a problem with your wireless bridge or mesh link, changing the antenna direction may improve the situation.

Weather Conditions

When planning wireless bridge or mesh links, you must take into account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Consider these factors:

• Temperature: The wireless bridge or mesh link is tested for normal operation in temperatures from -30°C to 55°C. Operating in temperatures outside of this range may cause the unit to fail.
• Wind Velocity: The wireless bridge or mesh link can operate in winds up to 165 miles per hour. You must consider the known maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any supporting structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand this force.
• Lightning: To protect against lightning induced surges, the IAP-175 requires lightning protection on the radio interface ports.

An Aruba Lightning Arrestor, AP-LAR-1, must be installed on each antenna port for protection against lightning induced surges. Failure to use an AP-LAR-1 can void the warranty of an Aruba outdoor AP model and renders the AP susceptible to failure from lightning induced surges

• Rain: The wireless bridge or mesh link is weatherproofed against rain. However, it is recommended to apply weatherproof sealing tape around the Ethernet port and antenna connectors for extra protection. If moisture enters a connector, it may cause a degradation in performance or even a complete failure of the link.
• Snow and Ice: Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, a buildup of snow or ice on antennas may cause the link to fail. In this case, the snow or ice has to be cleared from the antennas to restore operation of the link.

Ethernet Cabling

When a suitable antenna location has been determined, you must plan a cable route from the wireless bridge or mesh link outdoors to a suitable power and/or network source.

Consider these points:

• The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 90 m (295 ft).
• Determine a building entry point for the cable (if applicable).
- Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable.
- For lightning protection at the power injector end of the cable, consider using a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building

Grounding

It is important that the wireless bridge or mesh link, cables, and any supporting structures are properly grounded. Each IAP-175 access point includes a grounding screw for attaching a ground wire. Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. Ground the access point first using the external ground stud on the unit before making any other connection.

Installing Antennas

1. Before connecting the antennas, identify which of your antennas are 2.4 GHz and which are 5 GHz. On the AP-175, the 2.4 GHz antennas must be installed the R1 radio interfaces and the 5.0 GHz must be installed on the R0 radio interfaces.
2. After identifying which antennas will go where, install them by placing the antenna connector over the corresponding connector and the AP and turning the connector clockwise until hand tight. Repeat this process for each antenna.
3. Place the included metal weatherproof caps over any unused antenna interfaces by turning them clockwise until hand tight.

Weatherproofing Connections

Weatherproofing your antenna and/or cable connections on your outdoor AP is essential to reliability and longevity of your product. This process prevents water from entering the AP or antennas through the connectors.

A good weatherproofing job consists of three wrappings:

1. electrical tape
2. butyl rubber
3. electrical tape

The first wrapping of tape should be at least two layers, followed by a single wrap of butyl rubber, and four-layer wrap of electrical tape. This provides good protection from water, heat, and other potential hazards that could damage your AP or antennas.

Additionally, wrap your connections such that water is always directed down and away from connections.

Required Items and Tools

• 3/4" (19 mm) Vinyl Electrical Tape
- Butyl Rubber Tape
- Knife or Box Cutter

Types of Connections

The following sections provide guidance on weatherproofing directly connected antennas (Figure 6) and cable connections (Figure 7). The same materials are needed for weatherproofing both types of connections but the procedure is slightly different. For weatherproofing directly connected antennas, see "Weatherproofing Directly Connected Antennas" on page 14. For weatherproofing cable connections, see "Weatherproofing Cable Connections" on page 17.

Important Points to Remember

• Do not cover the weep holes on the antennas. Doing so can restrict the release of condensation from the antennas.
• Proper weatherproofing is not a fast process. Set aside ample time to complete the steps outlined below.
• When wrapping, make the each layer of tape as flat as possible. Wrinkles and folds in the tape create places for water and moisture to gather.

Weatherproofing Directly Connected Antennas

First Wrapping of Tape

1. Before wrapping the antennas, locate the weep holes (Figure 6). Weep holes allow condensation that has built up inside the antenna to escape.
2. Prepare the antenna connector by cleaning and drying it.
3. Cut a 4" (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Pre-cutting the tape into strips makes in easier to maneuver the tape around the antennas and other components of the AP's case.
4. Beginning just below the weep holes, tightly wrap the connection with a layer of the 3/4" (19mm) electrical tape. Overlap the tape to a half-width.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the wrapping extends all the way to the AP's case.

Figure 8 First Wrapping of Tape

Pieces of tape as needed Wrap tape from just above knurled section to base of antenna mount Leave weep holes uncovered AP785_12

Wrapping of Butyl Rubber

1. Cut a 3/4" (19 mm) strip of butyl rubber.
2. Wrap the strip of rubber around the taped connector (Figure 9)
3. Join the two ends by pushing them together until there is no longer a seam (Figure 10).

Figure 9 Butyl Rubber Placement

AP175_14

Second Wrapping of Tape

1. Cut a 4" (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll.
2. Where you begin wrapping depends on the orientation of the antenna. Water should flow in the opposite direction of the wrapping to prevent water from entering the connector between the layers of tape.
   Therefore, if the antenna is facing up, you should begin wrapping at the AP end of the connector. This will ensure that your fourth and final layer will be layered correctly. Conversely, if your antenna is facing down, you should begin wrapping on the antenna end of the connector.
3. After completing the fourth layer of tape, check your work to ensure there are no places where water can collect. If there are, you must smooth out those areas with additional layers of tape or remove the weatherproofing and begin again.

1. Repeat this process for all connectors.

Weatherproofing Cable Connections

First Wrapping of Tape

1. Prepare the antenna connector by cleaning and drying it.
2. Cut a 4" (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Pre-cutting the tape into strips makes in easier to maneuver the tape around the connectors and other components but is not required.
3. Beginning at the top of the connector, tightly wrap the connection with a layer of the 3/4" (19mm) electrical tape. Overlap the tape to a half-width.
4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the wrapping extends all the way to the cable's insulation.

Wrapping of Butyl Rubber

1. Cut a piece of butyl rubber large enough to wrap around the connector and extended past the first layer of tape.
2. Wrap the strip of rubber around the taped connector (Figure 13)
3. Join the two ends by pushing them together until there is no longer a seam (Figure 14).

Second Wrapping of Tape

1. Cut a 4" (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll.
2. Using 3/4" (19mm) electrical tape, begin wrapping at the connector and create four layers.
3. After completing the fourth layer of tape, check your work to ensure there are no places where water can collect. If there are, you must smooth out those areas with additional layers of tape or remove the weatherproofing and begin again.

Installing the IAP-175

The IAP-175 can be installed on a wall or attached to a pole. The following section describes how to attach the necessary hardware to the AP and how to mount the AP in the selected location.

Service to all Aruba products should be performed by trained service personnel only.

Access points are radio transition devices and as such are subject to governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the configuration and operation of access points must comply with local broadcast regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel assignments appropriate to the location in which the access point will be used and comply with regulatory requirements for Outdoor intentional radiators.

Selecting the Installation Site

- The site should be located within at least a 60% range of the 1st fresnel zone without obstacles to provide line of sight (LOS) transmission, increase coverage capacity, and minimize the number of necessary sites.

• If no LOS is secured, areas in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) areas could be covered as well, but the distance of coverage and area of coverage are decreased; more sites are needed to provide coverage for same area than in the LOS scenario.
• Interference must be considered in site selection. The new site should avoid known interference, unless the interference is controllable.
• Keep the IAP-175 away from places that are susceptible to high temperature, dust, harmful gas, inflammable, explosive, electromagnetic interference (high power radar, radio station and transformer), unstable voltage, heavy vibration, or loud noise. In engineering design, the site should be selected according to the network planning and technical requirements of communications equipment, as well as the considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation.

Installing the IAP-175 on a Pole

1. Attach the IAP-175 on the mounting bracket using the two M6 x30 bolts (with flat and spring washers) on each side of the mounting bracket.

Connecting the Power Cable (AP-175 AC)

Installation and service of Aruba products should be performed by Professional Installers in a manner that is consistent with the electrical code in force in the jurisdiction of deployment. In many countries this will require a licensed electrician to perform this operation. In Japan, this is a Certified Electrician by Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry.

The best practice is to connect to AC mains in an outdoor grade weather protected junction box.

The use of plugs with infrastructure equipment is suitable only for temporary installs where nuisance tripping of GFCI plugs is considered tolerable. Should it be required to attach a plug to the cable assemblies, the installer is must follow all directions provided with the plug end in a fashion consistent with local electrical code.

Use of CKIT-AC-M

CKIT-AC-M is a weatherproof connector kit for an AC power interface. Assembly instructions for this part are shipped with the part. All instructions must be followed to ensure proper assembly of the connector onto the cable. The required specifications for third party AC power cable used with the CKIT solution are as follows:

• 250V/1A minimum voltage/current rating
