Hardware Overview
LEDs
The AP22 access point has two LEDs that indicate the system and radio status of the device.
Table 1 AP22 Access Point LEDs Status
LED | Color/State | Meaning |
---|---|---|
System | No Lights | Device has no power |
Blinking Green | Device is starting | |
Alternating Green/Amber | Device is ready for setup | |
Solid Green | Device is ready | |
Solid Amber | Device has detected a problem | |
Solid Red | Device has an issue- immediate action required | |
Radio | No Lights | Wi-Fi is not ready, wireless clients cannot connect |
Solid Green | Wi-Fi is ready, wireless clients can connect |
Ethernet Port
The AP22 is equipped with a 10/100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDX Ethernet port (E0). This E0 port supports wired-network connectivity, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) from IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at compliant PoE power sources, such as a PoE midspan injector or a network switch.
Kensington Lock Slot
The AP22 access point is equipped with a Kensington lock slot for additional security.
Reset Button
The reset button located on the bottom of the device can be used to reset the
access point to factory default settings.
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
- 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).
- 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.
Power
If PoE is not available, a proprietary Aruba power adapter can be used to
power the AP22 access point. This power adapter is available in the box if you
buy the AP22 and power adapter bundle. For details, refer to the ordering
information in the AP22 data sheet at
https://www.ArubaInstantOn.com/resources.
When both PoE 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 PoE source.
Cable Clip
The cable clip on the rear of the access point is used to organize Ethernet
cable, as shown in Figure 3. The use of the cable clip 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
AP22 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 7.87 inches (20 cm) 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 AP22 access point ships with a mount bracket to install the access point to a 9/16” or 15/16” ceiling tile rail, or on a solid surface, such as a wall or a hard ceiling.
The following sections provide instructions on how to use this mount bracket.
Installing the Access Point to a Ceiling Tile Rail
-
Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near where the access point will be placed.
-
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 4).
-
Twist the mount bracket clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure 4).
-
Hold the access point next to the ceiling tile rail with the mounting slots at approximately a 30-degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see Figure 5 and Figure 6). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile.
-
Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the access point clockwise until the device clicks into place on the ceiling tile rail.
Installing the Access Point to a Solid Surface
-
Attach the mount bracket to any solid surface, such as a wall or hard ceiling, as shown in Figure 7.
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. -
Attach the access point to the secured mount bracket as shown in Figure 8. a. Align the access point with the mount bracket, placing the access point so that it’s mounting tabs are at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to the mount bracket.
-
Pushing towards the solid surface, rotate the access point clockwise until it clicks into place (see Figure 8).
Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity
The integrated LEDs on the access point can be used to verify that the access point is receiving power and initializing successfully (see Table 1).
