    Waow, amazing tool, is that part of Aruba software management or do we need a license for it?

    I'm about to purchase 30 IAP 215. thanks for the video, very helpful.

    Oh, one more thing, what's the recommanded placement vertical against the wall vs horizontal ceiling set?

     

    Thanks

    VRF plan is standalone and doesn't require a license.

    For the IAP-215 you can look at the antenna patterns to understand optimal placing. 

    Basically they are meant for ceiling mounting.

    Technically, it's part of AirWave and you should have some type of AirWave license. ;-)
