how to install HPE AP-605R

• Plan the placement to maximize coverage and minimize interference. Use site surveys or heatmaps to identify optimal mounting locations on ceilings or walls in high‑density areas, conference rooms, and lobbies.
• Prepare a PoE+ switch or power injector. Connect the AP‑605R to a PoE+ capable switch using a high‑quality Ethernet cable to provide power and data from a central network point.
• Mount the device securely. Attach to the ceiling or wall mount bracket as recommended by the installation kit, ensuring clear airflow and minimal obstruction to antenna patterns.
• Adopt and configure via Aruba Central or an on‑premises controller. Use zero‑touch provisioning to enroll the AP‑605R, apply the desired SSIDs, security policies, and band steering settings, then monitor performance from a single dashboard.
• Validate performance and adjust coverage. Perform post‑installation testing to confirm signal strength, throughput, and user experience. Fine‑tune channel planning, RF profiles, and access control rules as needed for optimal reliability.
