Aruba 340 Series Access Points

Installation Guide

Aruba 340 Series access points (AP-344 and AP-345) are high-performance dual-radio wireless
devices. These access points use Multi-User Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology
to provide secure wireless connectivity for both 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n and 5GHz 802.11a/n/ac Wi-Fi
networks. The optional dual-5GHz radio mode allows both radios to operate in the 5GHz radio mode
simultaneously, delivering true dual-5GHz performance. The 340 Series can be deployed in both
controller-based or controllerless network environments.
The two wired Ethernet ports located on the back of this access point allow users to connect directly
to the device when linked by an Ethernet cable. The 340 Series can be attached to a 9/16" or 15/16"
ceiling rail using the provided mount adapters.
The Aruba 340 Series provides 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 operation as a Spectrum Analysis
Supports IEEE 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet)
Compatible with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power sources
Compatible with IEEE 802.3at PoE power sources
Supports selected USB peripherals
Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio
