Power Supply
The AP-303H access point has a single 48V DC power connector to
support AC-to-DC power using an AP-AC-48V36C power adapter (sold separately). The power connector port is
located on the side of the device, as shown in Figure 6.
The AP-303H access point supports both PoE-in and PoE-out functionality.
The PoE-in (PoE-PD) allows the E0 port to draw power from an 802.3at (preferred) source, or an 802.3af
(optional) source.
When powered by an 802.3at or DC power source, the PoE-out (PoE-PSE) functionality is enabled on port E3,
supplying a maximum output of 15W to a wired device.
Refer to Table 4 for power output details. PoE-PSE and USB settings can be enabled/disabled through the
software’s WebUI and CLI.
When both DC and PoE power are simultaneously available, the access point will default to using DC power,
while continuing to draw a minimal current from the PoE source. If DC power source is removed, the access
point will begin drawing power from the PoE source, allowing for a hitless fail-over when switching between
power sources.
Before You Begin
Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.
This device must be professionally installed and serviced by a trained ACMP or similar 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.
Tous les points d’accès Aruba doivent être installés professionnellement par un Professionnel en mobilité certifié
par Aruba (ACMP). Il incombe au technicien d’installation de veiller à ce qu’une borne de raccordement à la terre
conforme avec tous les codes électriques nationaux applicables puisse être utilisée.
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing the AP-303H access point, be sure that you have the following:
 Pre-installed wall box
 Cat5E UTP cable with network access installed in the wall box
 One of the following power sources:
 IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source
 Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)

Identifying Specific Installation Locations
When installing the AP-303H access point must be secured to an Aruba-approved wall or to a desk mount kit.
This access point should be oriented vertically, with Ethernet ports facing downward to facilitate maximum
antenna gain. 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 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
Aruba 303H Series Hospitality Access Point | Installation Guide
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
