Aruba 300 Series Wireless Access Point
Installation Guide
Rev03 | August 2018 1
The Aruba 300 Series wireless access points (APs) support IEEE802.11ac standards for high-performance WLAN, and are
equipped with two radios, which provide network access and monitor the network simultaneously. These access points deliver
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-304 and AP-305 access points work in conjunction with an Aruba controller, while the IAP-304 and IAP-305 access point
can be configured using a built-in virtual controller.
The 300 Series wireless access points provide 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 spectrum monitor
Compatible with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and IEEE 802.3af PoE
Centralized management configuration and upgrade
Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Radio

USB Interface
The 300 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. The USB interface is disabled when the access
point is powered by an 802.3af PoE source (power-save mode).
Console Port
The serial console port is located at the back of the device and is a 4-pin connector covered by a dust cover. An optional serial
adapter cable (AP-CBL-SER) is sold separately to connect the device to a serial terminal or a laptop for direct local
management.
Ethernet Port
The 300 Series access points are equipped with one 10/100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDX Ethernet port. This port
supports wired-network connectivity, in addition to Power over Ethernet (PoE) from IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at compliant power
sources.
This device accepts 56V DC (802.3at), or 48V DC (802.3af) nominal as a standard powered device (PD) from power sourcing
equipment, including PoE midspan injector or a PoE-sourcing network infrastructure.

Configuring the 300 Series Access Points
Access Point Provisioning/Reprovisioning
Provisioning parameters are unique to each access point. These local access point parameters are initially configured on the
controller which are then pushed out to the access point and stored on the access point itself. Aruba recommends that
provisioning settings be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI only. Refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for complete details.
Access Point Configuration
Configuration parameters are network or controller specific and are configured and stored on the controller. Network
configuration settings are pushed out to the access point but remain stored on the controller.
Configuration settings can be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI or ArubaOS CLI. Refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for
complete details.
