How to install Aruba AP-735

• Plan your deployment by mapping high‑density areas and identifying mounting locations that maximize coverage while minimizing interference from obstacles or competing networks.
• Choose the appropriate mounting option (ceiling, wall, or pole) and install the weather‑proof enclosure or mounting hardware as required for outdoor applications. Ensure power is available via PoE or an approved power source compatible with the device.
• Connect the AP‑735 to your wired network through a suitable PoE switch or uplink port. Power on the device and verify link status.
• Adopt or connect the AP to Aruba Central for cloud‑managed configuration. If you’re using an on‑prem Mobility Master, register the AP there and apply baseline settings, including SSIDs, security policies, VLANs, and QoS rules.
• Configure radio settings to optimize performance: enable band steering, set appropriate channel plans, enable OFDMA/MU‑MIMO as needed, and tailor coverage with antenna patterns and transmit power for your environment. Test roaming, latency, and throughput to ensure a consistent experience for all users and devices.
