Aruba 340 Series Campus Access Point | Installation Guide
Push Button
The push button located on the back-right corner 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
Aruba 340 Series access points accept Power over Ethernet (PoE-in) from IEEE 802.3at and 802.3af sources. This
can be done by linking either the E0 or E1 port to power sourcing equipment, such as a PoE midspan injector, or
network controller providing PoE via Ethernet cable.
If both Ethernet ports are used to draw power from two PoE sources simultaneously, the access point will draw
from the more capable power source (prioritizing 802.3at over 802.3af), while continuing to draw a minimal
current from the secondary source. In the event that the primary power source fails, the access point will switch
to the secondary source for a hitless failover. When both PoE sources are equally capable, the source connected
to the E0 port is prioritized.
Alternatively, an AP-AC-48V36C AC-to-DC (sold separately) can be used to power the access point.
If the access point is connected to both DC and PoE sources simultaneously, the device will draw power from the
DC source, while continuing to draw a minimal current from the PoE source. In the event that the DC power
source fails, the access point will switch to the PoE source for a hitless failover.
The Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) feature may also be used to manage the power consumption
preferences for this device. When enabled, the user may enable/disable power restrictions for the access point
using Aruba’s AP management software.
For details about maximum power consumption levels and operational restrictions for power sourcing modes,
refer to Table 3.

Aruba 340 Series Campus Access Point | Installation Guide
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing your 203R Series access point, be sure that you have the following:
Cat5E UTP cable with network access installed in the wall box
DC power cable
One of the following network services:
Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
DNS server with an “A” record
DHCP Server with vendor-specific options
This device in compliance with governmental requirements, and is designed the so that only authorized network
administrators can change the settings. For more information about access point configuration, refer to the
ArubaOS Quick Start Guide and ArubaOS User Guide.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
This 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 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.
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
Brick
RF 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 rooms
