How to install HPE AP-677EX

• Plan your installation location to optimize line-of-sight and minimize obstructions. Choose elevated mounting points such as poles or elevated walls to maximize coverage, taking into account prevailing wind directions and potential interference from nearby equipment.
• Ensure you have outdoor-rated cabling and a PoE supply that matches the AP’s power requirements. Run Ethernet from a suitable outdoor-rated switch or aggregator with proper weatherproofing and cable management to protect connectors and ports.
• Mount the AP-677EX using the appropriate outdoor mounting kit and weatherproof seals. Verify that seals and enclosures are intact to maintain IP protection and environmental resistance in all operating conditions.
• Connect the AP to the network controller or cloud management platform (such as Aruba Central or compatible on‑premises controllers). Power up, then adopt the device into your network, applying the correct SSIDs, security policies, and guest access rules.
• Configure wireless settings, including channel planning, transmit power, and security. Perform a quick site survey to confirm coverage, adjust channel widths and power levels as needed, and validate client connectivity and roaming performance across outdoor zones.
