 Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access point

 One of the following network services:

 Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)

 DNS server with an “A” record

 DHCP Server with vendor-specific options

Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity

Before installing access points in a network environment,

make sure that they are able to locate and connect to the

controller after power on.

Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:

 When connected to the network, each access point is

assigned a valid IP address

 Access points are able to locate the controller

Refer to the AOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on

locating and connecting to the controller.

Pre-Installation Network Requirements

After WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate

products and their placement have been determined, the Dell

controller(s) must be installed and initial setup performed

before the Dell access points are deployed.

For initial setup of the controller, refer to the AOS Quick

Start Guide for the software version installed on your

controller.

Identifying Specific Installation

Locations

You can mount the 207 Series access point on the ceiling or a

wall. Use the access point placement map generated by Dell

VisualRF 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 have been

accounted for during the planning phase and adjusted for in

RF plan.

Identifying Known RF Absorbers, Reflectors and

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. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance

include:
