4. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the AP.
5. Hold the AP next to the ceiling tile rail with the ceiling tile rail mounting slots at
approximately a 30-degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see Figure 8). Make sure that any
cable slack is above the ceiling tile.
6. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the device clicks into place on
the ceiling tile rail.

7. On the AP-214, install the external antennas according to the manufacturer’s instructions,
and connect the antennas to the antenna interfaces on the AP.
Connecting Required Cables
Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and practices.
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-210 Series
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 or ArubaOS CLI. Refer to
their respective guides for further details: the ArubaOS User Guide.
