2 Product Overview
This section introduces the various Aruba Wireless Access Points, providing a brief overview and summary
of the physical features of each model covered by this FIPS 140-2 security policy.
2.1 AP-92
This section introduces the Aruba AP-92 Wireless Access Point (AP) with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation.
It describes the purpose of the AP, its physical attributes, and its interfaces.
The Aruba AP-92 is a high-performance 802.11n (2x2:2) MIMO, single-radio 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz (802.11a/
b/g/n) indoor wireless access point capable of delivering combined wireless data rates of up to 300Mbps.
This multi-function access point provides wireless LAN access, air monitoring, and wireless intrusion
detection and prevention over the 2.4-2.5GHz and 5GHz RF spectrum. The access points work in
conjunction with Aruba Mobility Controllers to deliver high-speed, secure user-centric network services in
education, enterprise, finance, government, healthcare, and retail applications.
2.1.1 Physical Description
The Aruba AP-92 Access Point is a multi-chip standalone cryptographic module consisting of hardware
and software, all contained in a hard plastic case. The module contains an 802.11 a/b/g/n transceiver and
supports external antennas through 2 x dual-band (RP-SMA) antenna interfaces for supporting external
antennas.
The plastic case physically encloses the complete set of hardware and software components and represents
the cryptographic boundary of the module.
The Access Point configuration validated during the cryptographic module testing included:
 AP-92-F1
 FIPS Kit
o 4010061-01 (Part number for Tamper Evident Labels)
The exact firmware version validated was:
 ArubaOS 6.3.1.7-FIPS
2.1.1.1 Dimensions/Weight
The AP has the following physical dimensions:
 120 mm x 130 mm x 35 mm (4.7" x 5.1" x 1.4")
 255 g (9 oz)
2.1.1.2 Interfaces
The module provides the following network interfaces:
 1 x 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet (RJ45) Ports
 802.11a/b/g/n Antenna (External)
o 2x RP-SMA antenna interfaces (supports up to 2x2 MIMO with spatial diversity)
 1 x RJ-45 console interface (disabled in FIPS mode by TEL)
The module provides the following power interfaces:
 48V DC via Power-over-Ethernet (POE)
