Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba 515 IAP - High Efficiency Mode Question

[Ronald Loneker]

Actually, Lee, the AP kept dropping me so much I couldn't even get a
connection so I couldn't tell you.

Being I was in a meeting and trying to participate, I couldn't do much
testing.

I'm doing tech support for an event all day so I can't pull out my floor
plans to see if there was an access point on the floor above me - that
would be the only other explanation..

Aruba 515 IAP - High Efficiency Mode Question

[Ronald Loneker]

Hi Everyone -

This past spring we deployed several buildings with Aruba IAP 515 access
points.

This summer, we had the company who installed the access points produce
heat mapping summaries of the buildings.

In three of the four buildings, we had high efficiency mode enabled on the
access points.

Has anyone using these access points noticed a degraded signal when this
mode is enabled?  I was sitting almost in front of one of the access points
that is showing to be active and pretty decent coveage where I was sitting
but getting very low wireless signal from my laptop (even after I rebooted
the laptop, disconnected from wifi and reconnected).

I'm trying to get a version of the firmware we are running - there was a
conflict in one of the buildings that had a cluster of 215s and 515s and
the 215s couldn't run the more recent version of firmware so our consultant
may have downgraded us to one that both models could support.

Just curious about experiences you might have had with the high efficiency
mode on and off and whether signal is better on either setting.

Aruba AP 510 Series/Windows Devices

[Ronald Loneker]

Hi Everyone -

With the limited number of Aruba IAP 515 devices we have remaining, we've
been upgrading a number of buildings to this device model from our old
legacy Arubas.

Back in January, I came across a thread about Aruba AP 510 series and
conflicts with a version of an Intel driver I thought on this list for its
high efficiency profile setting that we needed to disable to avoid wireless
issues.  I can't seem to find the thread, however.

Has anyone noticed this issue anymore with this series of Arubas?  I'm not
sure whether we still should keep this profile setting off or we should
enable it to take more advantage of its functionality.  Most of our
students are now off campus so testing it right now isn't really an option.

Any thoughts from your experiences?

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Lead time for Wi-Fi gear?

[Ronald Loneker]

Good Morning -

I was out of the office last week and just saw this post.

Back in April, we ordered approximately 42 Aruba IAP 515 units and they
came within a few weeks.

A week and a half later, I inquired about another 62 units and I was told
late August to late September for shipping - when I finally got approval to
place the order in May, it was still the same timeline for availability.

Wireless Network/Guest Access - CALEA

[Ronald Loneker]

Hi Everyone -

For some of you who have been in higher education a while, this topic might
ring a bell but I'm wondering whether I'm missing something about the need
for continued compliance.

Back in the early 2000s, there was a push to lock down wireless networks
due to the CALEA Act - while the law was passed in the early 1990s and
covered phone surveillance by law enforcement, there was an expected
expansion of it in the 2000s to cover the area of wireless network.

Basically, we were told that we needed to lock down guest access with a
password that would have to be changed on a regular basis and provided to
guests who came to campus and wanted to use our wireless network resources
(basically internet) as a way to prevent an unauthorized end user from
accessing our network..

Here is a link to one resource on the topic that is more complete than some
of the government links I've found:

https://www.eff.org/issues/calea

I'm curious if people are still following this law and whether something
has come out that has superseded it that I have not heard of since I've
again become involved with some of our networking projects.

Thanks everyone!

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba AP2xx vs. AP5xx apples-to-apples

[Ronald Loneker]

Jason,

This email timing has been very good for us (?).

Just 2 hours ago, we completed our activation of Aruba IAP515s in our
administration building with another day scheduled on Friday to do one of
our residence halls.  Coincidentally, due to a prediction of snow at the
end of this week in our area, we just postponed the residence hall upgrade.

After seeing your message, I did reach out to the company who handled the
configuration/activation of our access points this morning and asked about
the issue you raised.

I was told that we could turn off ax initially to allow the issue to
resolve itself as drivers are pushed out but we will probably end up doing
some tests in our administration building as well.  When our network
consultant was walking in the building to test wireless access, he didn't
seem to be aware of an issue but we didn't know there was one until I saw
your email and asked him about his experience.

I still expect to see improvement in our administration building since it
had legacy access points that were not IAP models but the residence hall
that was going to be upgraded this week did have IAP 215s in it and we
would not want the students to experience a degradation of signal quality
due to the issue you mention here.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba Hospitality Access Points

[Ronald Loneker]

Hi Everyone -

Thanks for your insights on the hospitality access points - I think right
now it still won't be as easy for us to implement so we'll stick with our
current access points and wait for a nice donation or other external
funding to come in and reconsider it at that time.

I like the idea and the functionality people are saying about these units
so it's definitely something we'll consider in the future.

Aruba Hospitality Access Points

[Ronald Loneker]

Hi Everyone,

I've been following some of the various discussions where people have
mentioned using Aruba's hospitality access points and I e-mailed our vendor
who we use about them to compare them with the IAP 215 units we deployed a
few years ago in our residence halls.

I didn't seem to get a good explanation so now I'm asking this group.

For those who have deployed the hospitality access points, how do they
differ from an Aruba you would put in an academic/administrative building?

Do you find you are putting more of them into a residence hall?

I'd toy with the idea of possibly swapping the IAP-215 units with
hospitality units if the numbers were similar and we could move the IAP-215
units into one of our buildings with legacy Arubas although from what I
think I'm reading, it looks like some of you are putting more into the
residence halls than we have put (it's definitely not one access point for
every one or two rooms based on the heat maps that were done).

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Theater wifi - to have or not to have

[Ronald Loneker]

Good Afternoon -

We have Listen assistive listening systems in our theater and our new 94
seat auditorium.

ADA requires a certain percentage of assistive listening devices in larger
spaces.

Our system consists of beltpacks with ear buds which would be given to each
attendee who requests them and our sound system does feed the Listen
system.  Your mileage may vary on the use of this system - our experience
is that we've had a few people request them days before the performances
but they've never actually picked them up to use them.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Theater wifi - to have or not to have

[Ronald Loneker]

Good Afternoon -

Some of this can be affected by the architect and what they deem
aesthetically pleasing...

When our theater was built in our fine and performing arts center 12 years
ago, the architect was against us putting access points on the wall due to
aesthetics.  We ended up putting on AP in our projection booth and one
backstage in one of the wings.

Our theater was originally slated to be used for all purposes
(performances, concerts, lectures, conference presentations, admissions
Open Houses, etc) so it really could have used a lot more connectivity than
what we could put in the theater.

Three years ago, we upgraded the APs in the fine and performing arts center
and, with new leadership at the college, added three more access points to
support more connections.  Our theater has 560 seats, and we did have a
conference that we streamed video plus had public wifi available and we
seem to be fine with connectivity.

If you can do it and not get pushback from the architect, I'd recommend you
build it into your plans for having availability day one.

(then you can sit in the back of the theater and watch all the parents with
their smart phones raising them up and see the sea of phone screens as they
record their kids' performances...because it will happen when you
eventually rent out the space...)

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Desktop projection to classroom display

[Ronald Loneker]

Good Morning -

I think someone mentioned a Creston product but not by name.

We are just starting to deploy Creston AirMedia on campus in several
rooms/labs.  Wireless connection works easily for our faculty/staff
wireless security group - we've had to add our student group to the access
point(s) in the classroom to permit them to connect to the AirMedia due to
the way our network is set up.  This spring will be a good test because
we'll have classes actively using the rooms.  It does work with iPads and
iPhones (iPhones are more limited in terms of what they can do - haven't
tested the iPad fully yet).

I've seen YouTube video being played through the AirMedia and it's not
bad.  I'm not sure if I'd play a DVD in a laptop wirelessly connecting to
the AirMedia - that might be too overpowering.  Firmware upgrades are being
promised to bring it up to 30 fps video.

Update: Aruba Instant IAP-215 Wireless Access Points

[Ronald Loneker]

Good Morning Everyone -

I wanted to once again thank everyone who responded to my question last
month about the Aruba Instant IAP-215 wireless access point issue we were
having.

We believe the problem has been solved.

One of the suggestions here was that it might be a bug in the firmware, and
it did end up being an undocumented bug in the firmware - upgrading to a
newer version seems to have stopped the problem from recurring for more
than a week now.

I do want to thank Mike Tennefoss from Aruba who is a member of this list
for helping to move this along.

Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions!

Aruba Instant IAP-215 Wireless Access Points

[Ronald Loneker]

Good Morning -

(forgive cross-postings - a member of the NETMAN list suggested this might
be the place to post this question)

We just had close to 90 new Aruba Instant IAP-215 wireless access points
installed in our residence halls to upgrade our wireless network.  Another
building is soon to be underway, and I'm managing this project.

Over the last couple of weeks, it seems like random access points are
shutting down wireless access.  They are not all connected to the same
Cisco switch (various Cisco POE switches in two residence halls).  The
access point is not ping-able, the MAC address is not found in the virtual
controller's table, the switch port is up and power is being supplied to
the access point.  The only way we seem to get an access point back up is
to do a shut/no shut on the switch port to which it is connected.

The vendor who configured the access points hasn't been able to determine
why this is happening and before we initiate an Aruba support call, I was
wondering if anyone had any similar experiences like this and what you
determined was the cause of the issue.  We are running into walls here.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or ideas.
