E0/POE
The 370 Series access point is equipped with one 10/100/1000 Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDX Ethernet port. This
port supports wired-network connectivity, in addition to Power over Ethernet (PoE) from IEEE 802.3at compliant
power sources.
This access point accepts 56V DC (802.3at) nominal as a standard powered device (PD) from a Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) such as a PoE midspan injector, or network infrastructure that supports PoE.
This port has an RJ-45 female connector with the pin-outs shown in Figure 7.
E1/SFP Port
The 370 Series access point is equipped with one 1000 Base-X small form-factor pluggable (SFP) port for fiberoptic network connections. The applicable SFP modules includes:
Aruba SFP-LX-EXT SFP module (part number: Q8N52A)
Aruba SFP-SX-EXT SFP module (part number Q8N53A)

Grounding Point
Always remember to protect the access point by installing grounding lines. The ground connection must be
complete before connecting power to the access point enclosure.
USB Console Port
The USB Micro-B console port allows you to connect the access point to a laptop or serial console for direct
management. Use the included USB console cable to connect the access point. You can download the necessary
driver for USB-UART adapter from support.arubanetworks.com under the Tools & Resources tab.
You need a proper Allen wrench (8mm) to open the cover of the USB Console port.
Use the following setting to access the terminal:

Reset Button
The reset button can be used to return the access point to factory default settings. To reset the access point:
1. Power off the AP.
2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip.
3. Power-on the AP without releasing the reset button. The system LED will flash within 5 seconds.
4. Release the reset button.
The system LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is completed. The AP will now
continue to boot with the factory default settings.
