Aruba 340 Series Access PointsInstallation GuideAPIN340-IG-01 | Month Year 1Aruba 340 Series access points (AP-344 and AP-345) are high-performance dual-radio wireless devices. These access points use Multi-User Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology to provide secure wireless connectivity for both 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n and 5GHz 802.11a/n/ac Wi-Fi networks. The optional dual-5GHz radio mode allows both radios to operate in the 5GHz radio mode simultaneously, delivering true dual-5GHz performance. The 340 Series can be deployed in both controller-based or controllerless network environments.The two wired Ethernet ports located on the back of this access point allow users to connect directly to the device when linked by an Ethernet cable. The 340 Series can be attached to a 9/16" or 15/16” ceiling rail using the provided mount adapters.The Aruba 340 Series provides the following capabilities:IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless access pointIEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless Air MonitorIEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a Spectrum AnalysisSupports IEEE 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet)Compatible with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power sourcesCompatible with IEEE 802.3at PoE power sourcesSupports selected USB peripheralsIntegrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radioPackage ContentsThe following materials are included with this product:Aruba 340 Series access point9/16" and 15/16” ceiling rail adaptersDeclaration of Conformity documentEnd-User License Agreement documentAruba 340 Series Access Point Startup GuideHardware OverviewThe following sections outline the hardware components of the 340 Series access point.Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts.

Refer to Figure 5 for a detailed port pin-out. Figure 5 Ethernet Port Pin-OutKensington Lock SlotThe 340 Series is equipped with a Kensington lock slot for additional securityUSB InterfaceThe top of this access point is equipped with a USB-A port that is compatible with cellular modems. When active, this port can supply up to 5W/1A to a connected device.Push ButtonThe push button located on the bottom of the device can be used to reset the access point to factory default settings or turn off/on the LED display. To reset the access point to factory default settings:1. Power off the access point.2. Press and hold the push button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip.3. Power-on the access point without releasing the push button. The System Status LED will flash within 5 seconds.4. Release the push button.The system status 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.To turn off/on the LED display:During the normal operation of the access point, press and release the push button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip. Power The E0 and E1 ports support PoE-in from 802.3af and 802.3at power sources. When powered by an Maximum power consumption for PoE 802.3af is 25WIf a PoE source is unavailable, an AP-AC-48V36C power cord (ordered separately) may be used to connect the power socket, located at the back of the access point, to a DC power source. The maximum power consumption from a DC source is 30W. When an Aruba 340 Series access point is powered by both DC and PoE power sources simultaneously, the DC power source is prioritized, while a small current is drawn from the PoE source. Likewise, when an Aruba 340 Series access point is powered by two PoE sources simultaneously, the 802.3at power source is prioritized, while a small current is drawn from the 802.3af source.In the event that the primary power source fails, the small current drawn from the secondary source will keep the access point alive, allowing for a hitless failover.Intelligent Power Management (IPM) mode reports the access point’s power consumption and enables intelligent management solutions to optimize energy efficiency.1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet PortRJ-45 FemalePin-OutSignal Name12345678BI_DC+BI_DC-BI_DD+BI_DD-BI_DA+BI_DA-BI_DB+BI_DB-FunctionBi-directional pair +CBi-directional pair -CBi-directional pair +DBi-directional pair -DBi-directional pair +ABi-directional pair -ABi-directional pair +BBi-directional pair -B
6Aruba 340 Series Access Points | Installation GuideBefore You Begin Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process. Pre-Installation ChecklistBefore installing your Aruba 340 Series access point, be sure that you have one of the following:Cat5E UTP cable with network access installed in the wall boxAruba DC power cordOne of the following network services:Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)DNS server with an “A” recordDHCP Server with vendor-specific optionsIdentifying Specific Installation LocationsThis access point should be oriented vertically, with rubber pads facing downward to facilitate maximum antenna gain. Use the access point placement map generated by Aruba 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 be accounted for during the planning phase and adjusted for in RF plan.Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference SourcesIdentifying 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.RF absorbers include:Cement/concrete—Old concrete has high levels of water dissipation, which dries out the concrete, allowing for potential RF propagation. New concrete has high levels of water concentration in the concrete, blocking RF signals.Natural Items—Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and treesBrickRF reflectors include:Metal Objects—Metal pans between floors, rebar, fire doors, air conditioning/heating ducts, mesh windows, blinds, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), refrigerators, racks, shelves, and filing cabinets.Do not place an access point between two air conditioning/heating ducts. Make sure that access points are placed below ducts to avoid RF disturbances.RF interference sources include:Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones)Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch roomsAccess Point InstallationThe Aruba 340 Series access point is designed for office deployments and may be fastened to a ceiling tile rail using the mount adapters provided. Additional wall mount adapters and ceiling rail adapters for other rail styles

Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near where the AP will be placed.2. Place the adapter against the back of the AP with the adapter at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to the tabs, then twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place onto the tabs (see Figure 6).Figure 6 Attaching the Ceiling Rail Adapter3. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the access point.4. 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 5). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile.5. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the device clicks into place on the ceiling tile rail. Ensure that the AP is locked into the ceiling rail mount before completing the installation.6. (Optional) When installing the AP-344, connect the external antennas connectors on the front of the access point.!All Aruba access points should be professionally installed by an Aruba-Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP). The installer is responsible for ensuring that grounding is available and meets applicable national and electrical codes.
