Aruba 330 Series Wireless Access Point Installation Guide
The Aruba 330 Series wireless access points (AP-334, AP-335, IAP-334, and IAP-335) support IEEE 802.11ac standards for high-performance WLAN. This device is equipped with two dual-band radios, which provide network access and monitor the network simultaneously. This access point delivers high-performance 802.11n 2.4 GHz and 802.11ac 5 GHz 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. The AP-334 and AP-335 access points work in conjunction with an Aruba controller, while the IAP-334 and IAP-335 access points can be configured using a built-in virtual controller. The 330 Series wireless access points provides the following capabilities:  IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless access point  IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless air monitor  IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac spectrum analysis  Compatible with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power sources  Centralized management, configuration and upgrades Package Contents  330 Series access point  9/16" and 15/16” Ceiling Rail Adapters  Safety, Compliance, and Warranty Information guide  Aruba Instant Quick Start Guide (IAP-334 and IAP-335 only)  Aruba Professional Installation Guide (IAP-334 only)  Aruba 330 Series Wireless Access Point Installation Guide (this document) Software The AP-334 and AP-335 access points require ArubaOS 6.5.0.0 or higher. For additional information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide and ArubaOS Quick Start Guide. The IAP-334 and IAP-335 access points require Instant 4.3.0.0 or higher. For additional information, refer to the Aruba Instant User Guide and Aruba Instant Quick Start Guide. 330 Series Hardware Overview Figure 1 LEDs LEDs The 330 Series access points have two LEDs that indicate the system and radio status. The LEDs have three operating modes that can be selected in the system management software:  Default mode: refer to Table 1  Off mode: LEDs are off  Blink mode: LEDs blink green
Table 1: LED Status Indicators * Blinking: 1s on/1s off **Flashing: off a fraction of a second every 2s External Antenna Connectors The AP-334 and IAP-334 access points are equipped with four external antenna connectors located on the front corners of the access point (see Figure 2). Figure 2 External Antenna Connectors USB Interface The 330 Series is equipped with a USB port for connectivity with cellular modems and other USB client devices. When powered by an 802.3at or DC power source, the USB port can supply power up to 5W/1A. Figure 3 USB Port

Console Port The console port allows the user to connect the access point directly to a serial terminal or laptop for local management. Connect the device to a terminal or terminal server using an Ethernet cable. The port is an RJ45 connector with pin-out details in Figure 5. Figure 5 Console Port Pin-Out Ethernet Ports The back panel of the 330 Series access point is equipped with two Ethernet ports (ENET0 and ENET1) to support wired-network connectivity. These ports support IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant sources, accepting 56V DC (nominal) as a standard powered device (PD) from power sourcing equipment, such as a PoE midspan injector or network infrastructure that supports PoE.  ENET0: 100/1000/2500Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDX RJ45 port.  ENET1: 100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDX RJ45 port.

Kensington Lock Slot The 330 Series is equipped with a Kensington lock slot for additional security, shown in Figure 4. Reset Button The reset button can be used to return the access point to factory default settings. To reset the access point, refer to the steps below: 1. Power off the access point. 2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a
paperclip.
3. Power-on the access point without releasing the reset button. The power
LED will flash within 5 seconds.
4. Release the reset button. 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.
Power The ENET0 and ENET1 ports support PoE-in, allowing one port to draw power from an 802.3at source. If PoE is not available, the access point has a single 48V DC power input to support the AP-AC-48V36C 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 ENET0 and ENT1 Ethernet ports support Dual-hitless Failover when both ports are connected to 802.3at separate PoE power sources. If the primary power source fails, the access point will immediately switch the secondary power source with minimal impact to operation of the device. When both ENET0 and ENET1 are wired to 802.3 PoE sources, the access point will draw power primarily from one source, while the secondary power source draws minimum current to keep the device active and is only used in the event of a failover. Before You Begin Access Point Pre-Installation Checklist Before installing your 330 Series access point, ensure that you have the following:  CAT5E cable or better  One of the following power sources:
 IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. The PoE source can
be any power source equipment (PSE) controller or midspan PSE device
 Aruba AP-AC-48V36C adapter kit (sold separately)
For AP-334 and AP-335 only:  Aruba controller provisioned on the network:
 Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access point  One of the following network services:
 Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)  DNS server with an “A” record  DHCP Server with vendor-specific options.
Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use these materials to repack and return the unit to the supplier if needed.
