Aruba AP-334 - Before You Begin

Aruba 330 Series Access Points | Installation Guide 5
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.
Power
The ENET0 and ENET 1 ports supports 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 802.3 and DC power sources are available, the DC power source
takes precedence. The access point simultaneously draws a minimal current from the PoE source. In the event
that the DC source fails, the access point switches 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 immediately switches 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 draws 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
Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing your Aruba 330 Series access point, be sure that you have one of the following:
 Cat5E UTP cable or better with network access installed in the wall box
 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 the access point
 One of the following network services:
 Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
 DNS server with an “A” record
 DHCP Server with vendor-specific options
Pre-Installation Connectivity
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, verify the following conditions:
The 330 Series does not support 802.3af PoE power sources.

FCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in the United States configured to non-US
model controllers will be in violation of the FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional
violation may result in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination of operation and may be subject to
forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80).
Aruba Networks, Inc., in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the 330 Series access points
so that only authorized network administrators can change the settings. For more information about access poit
configuration, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide/Instant Quick Start Guide and ArubaOS User Guide/Instant User
Guide.
The instructions for this section are applicable to the AP-334 and AP-335 only.
