Aruba 310 Series Wireless Access Point
Installation Guide
The Aruba 310 Series Wireless Access Points support IEEE 802.11ac
standards for a high-performance WLAN. This device is equipped with two
single-band radios, which provide network access and monitor the network
simultaneously. This access point to deliver high-performance 802.11n
2.4GHz and 802.11ac 5GHz functionality, while also supporting 802.11a/b/g
wireless services. Multi-user Multiple-in, Multiple-output (MU-MIMO) is
enabled when operating in 5GHz mode for optimal performance.

Software
AP-314 and AP-315 access points require ArubaOS 6.5.0 or higher. For
additional information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide and ArubaOS Quick
Start Guide.
Aruba access points are classified as radio transmission devices, and are
subject to government regulations of the host country. The network
administrator(s) is/are responsible for ensuring that configuration and
operation of this equipment meet all regulatory standards of their
country/domain.

The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is
completed. The access point will now continue to boot with the factory
default settings.
The Ethernet port supports PoE-in and may draw power from an 802.3at
(recommended) or an 802.3af source.
Ethernet Port
If PoE is unavailable, the 310 Series access points have a single 12V/36W DC
power input to support the AP-AC-V30B AC-to-DC power adapter kit (sold
separately).
When both 802.3at and DC power sources are available, the DC power
source will take precedence. The Access point will simultaneously draw a
minimal current from the PoE source. In the event that the DC source fails,
the access point will switch to the 802.3at source.

The 310 Series operates without restriction when powered by 802.3at
compliant and DC power sources. In this mode the USB interface is enabled
and supports up to 1A/5W to a powered device (PD).

Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity
Installation Guide
The instructions for this section are applicable to the AP-314 and AP-315
only.
Before installing access points in a network environment, make sure that
they are able to locate and connect to the controller after power on.
Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:


When connected to the network, each access point is assigned a valid IP
address
Access points are able to locate the controller
Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and
connecting to the controller.
4. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of
the access point.
5. Hold the access point next to the ceiling tile rail with the ceiling tile rail
mounting slots at approximately a 30-degree angle to the ceiling tile rail
(see Figure 8). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile.
6. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the access point clockwise until the
device clicks into place on the ceiling tile rail.

For initial setup of the controller, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for
the software version installed on your controller.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the 310 Series access point to a wall or on the ceiling. Use
the access point placement map generated by Aruba’s RF Plan software
application to determine the proper installation location(s). Each location
should be as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area
and should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference.
These RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources will impact RF
propagation and should have been accounted for during the planning phase
and adjusted for in RF plan.
Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference
Sources
Identifying known RF absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources while
in the field during the installation phase is critical. Make sure that these
sources are taken into consideration when you attach an access point to its
fixed location. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance include:





Cement and brick
Objects that contain water
Metal
Microwave ovens
Wireless phones and headsets
Installing the Access Point
Refer to the following steps to install your Aruba 310 Series access point
using the AP Ceiling Rail Mount Kit (AP-220-MNT-C1).
Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter
The 310 Series access point ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16” and
15/16” ceiling rails. Additional wall mount adapters and ceiling rail adapters
for other rail styles are available as accessory kits.
This device must be professionally installed and serviced by an ACMP or
other Aruba-certified technician. The installer is responsible for securing
the access point onto the ceiling tile rail in accordance with the steps
below. Failure to properly install this product may result in physical
injury and/or damage to property.
1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near
where the access point will be placed.
2. Place the adapter against the back of the access point with the adapter at
an angle of approximately 30 degrees to the tabs (see Figure 7).
Support Email Addresses
7. On the (I)AP-314, install the external antennas according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, and connect the antennas to the antenna
interfaces on the access point.

Warranty Information Guide included with this device.
Configuring the 310 Series
The instructions for the following section are applicable to AP-314 and AP315 model access points only.
Access Point Provisioning/Reprovisioning
Provisioning parameters are unique to each access point. These local access
point parameters are initially configured on the controller which are then
pushed out to the access points and stored on the devices. Aruba
recommends that provisioning settings be configured via the ArubaOS Web
UI only. Refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for complete details.
Access Point Configuration
Configuration parameters are network or controller specific and are
configured and stored on the controller. Network configuration settings are
pushed out to the access points, but remain stored on the controller.
Configuration settings can be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI or
ArubaOS CLI. Refer to their respective guides for further details: the ArubaOS
User Guide.
3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see
