z An Aruba serial breakout adapter kit, Part Number CA-SPOE-ADAPT-3, (not
included). (See
“Connecting the Console Terminal” on page 14 .)
z Access to the Aruba AP 60/61 FE port through one of the following:
z Direct contact with the AP, or
z If the AP is already deployed, you must have access to the end of the FE
cable that leads directly to the AP with no intervening hubs, routers, or
other networking equipment.
The cable must be an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE
cable with RJ-45 connectors.
z A power source for the Aruba AP 60/61. Use one of the following:
z An optional AC power adapter (not included) and an AC power outlet
rated at 100~240 V, 50~60 Hz, or
z The Aruba AP 60/61 FE port connected to an Aruba 800, 2400, or 5000
Mobility Controller that supports IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE)
via a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.

N OTE : Only IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet is supported for manual
provisioning. “Inline” or “midspan” POE devices require Aruba serial
breakout adapter, Part Number CA-SPOE-ADAPT-4.
1. IEEE 802.3af-complaint devices like the AP60 and AP61 use the same wire pairs for data
versus for power. Within the 802.3af standard, there are two sub-specifications on how
wire pairs are assigned. Aruba conforms to 802.3af, subparagraph a. If your POE
installation uses all-Aruba equipment, you are assured proper operation. However, if you
use non-Aruba POE equipment, make sure it conforms to the same standard that Aruba
uses. Using POE equipment using IEEE 802.3af subparagraph b wiring assignments, or
POE equipment not conforming to the 803.2af standard may result in damaged
equipment.
