Aruba 303P Series Campus Access Points
| Installation Guide
The table below indicates the E1 port’s PSE output when the 303P Series access point is connected to DC or PoE
power supply.
Power
If PoE is not available, a proprietary Aruba AP-AC-48V36C power adapter kit (sold separately) can be used to
power the 303P Series access point.
Additionally, a locally-sourced AC-to-DC adapter (or any DC source) can be used to power this device, as long as it
complies with all applicable local regulatory requirements and the DC interface meets the following
specifications:
48 Vdc (+/- 5%)
1.35/3.5 mm center-positive circular plug, 9.5 mm length
Console Port
The console port is a Micro-B connector located on the back of this device. A proprietary serial adapter cable (AP-
CBL-SERU) is needed to use this interface. It is sold separately to connect the AP to a serial terminal or a laptop
for direct local management.
Reset Button
To reset the 303P Series access points to factory default settings, press and hold down the reset button using a
small, narrow object such as a paper clip for several seconds while powering up the AP, or for more than 10
seconds during normal operation.
To turn off/on all the LED display, press and release the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a
paperclip for less than 10 seconds during normal operation of the access point.
Kensington Lock Slot
The 303P Series access points are equipped with a Kensington lock slot for additional security.
