The console port is a Micro-B connector located on the back of the access point. Use the proprietary AP-CBL-SERU cable (sold separately) for direct management of the access point when connected to a serial terminal or laptop.

Figure 6 Micro-B Console Port Pin-out

Ethernet Ports
The access point has five Ethernet ports (E0 – E4)

• The E0 port is a 100/1000/2500Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDIX uplink port, supporting PoE-in (AP is a PoE-PD device), allowing the device to draw power from a compliant PoE power source.
• The E1- E4 ports are 100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDIX downlink ports. The E1- E2 ports have power sourcing capability (PSE) to supply power to any compliant 802.3af (class 0-3) or 802.3at (class 4) PD devices.

Each of the E1-E4 ports has two LEDs located on both sides, the left LED indicating the network status or activity on the port, while the right LED indicating the PoE PSE powering status when the access point is operating as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).

Table 6: Ethernet Port LEDs

Green – solid| Link established at max speed (1Gbps)
Amber – solid| Link established at reduced speed (10/100Mbps)
Right| Off| Meet one of the following conditions:

• Access point is powered off
• Access point is not supplying PoE power

Green – blinking| Access point is negotiating PoE power with the device connected to this port.
Green – solid| Access point is supplying PoE power to the device connected to this port.

Power
The E0 port supports PoE-in (AP is a PoE-PD device), allowing the AP to draw power from a compliant PoE power source. If PoE is not available, a proprietary AP-AC2-48C power adapter (sold separately) can be used to power the access point. When both PoE and DC power sources are available, the DC power source takes precedence. In that case, 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 sources.
When powered by DC or 802.3bt (class 6) PoE, the AP will support 802.3af (class 0-3) PoE-PSE power on E1 and E2, or 802.3at (class 4) PoE-PSE power on E1 or E2.
The Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) feature may also be used to manage the power consumption preferences for this device. When enabled, the user may enable/disable power restrictions for the access point using HPE Aruba Networking’s AP management software. Refer to the HPE Aruba Networking 600H Series Hospitality Access Points datasheet for details on possible functional restrictions when the AP is powered by POE, and how IPM can help to avoid or minimize these restrictions.

USB 2.0 Host Interface
The USB 2.0 USB-A interface is compatible with selected cellular modems and other peripherals. When active, this USB interface can supply up to 5W/1A to a connected device.
To secure the USB device to the access point, tighten the USB security screw after the USB device is plugged into the USB interface.

If you have ordered the AP-605HR remote AP bundle, a desk stand is pre- installed on the access point. The desk stand will block the USB security screw. To use the USB security screw, follow these steps

1. Lift the screw cap and remove the two screws from the desk stand.
2. Slide the AP up, but do not remove the RJ45 connector from the access point. Loosen the USB security screw.
3. Plug in the USB device, tighten the USB security screw and slide the AP down.
4. Tighten the two screws on the desk stand, and put the cap back.

BLE Radio Default State
When the access point is in factory default state the integrated BLE radio is enabled. This applies to the non-TAA product SKUs only. On the TAA products, the BLE radio is disabled when the unit is in factory default conditions. Once the AP has established a connection with its management platform, the BLE radio state is updated to match what’s configured there. This state is maintained if the AP is power-cycled or rebooted.

Console Port Default State
When the access point is in factory default state the console interface (both physical port and BLE) is enabled with default credentials (username is “admin” and password is the serial number of the unit). Once the AP has established a connection with its management platform, the console port state (enabled/disabled) and access credentials are updated to match what’s configured there. State and credentials are maintained if the AP is power- cycled or rebooted.

USB Host Interface Default State
When the access point is in factory default state the USB host interface is powered and enabled, assuming the AP is not in a restricted power mode. On some AP models the USB port may be disabled when a POE source with insufficient power budget is used. Once the AP has established a connection with its management platform, the USB host interface state is updated to match what’s configured there. This state is maintained if the AP is power-cycled or rebooted.

Chapter 3 Installation

Before You Begin
Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.

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 willful 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).

Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing the access point, be sure that you have the following

• A mount kit compatible with the AP and mount surface
• One or two Cat5E or better UTP cables with network access

Some optional items

• A compatible power adapter with power cord
• A compatible PoE midspan injector with power cord
• An AP-CBL-SERU console cable

Also, make sure at least one of the following network services is supported

• HPE Aruba Networking Discovery Protocol (ADP)
• DNS server with an “A” record
• DHCP Server with vendor specific options

Access points are radio transmission 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.

Identifying Specific Installation Locations

Use the access point placement map generated by HPE Aruba Networking 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.
• 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

• Other Wi-Fi networks
• Microwave ovens
• Bluetooth devices
