2.5.1 Physical Description

The Aruba AP-175 Access Point is a multi-chip standalone cryptographic module consisting of hardware

and software, all contained in a hard case. The module contains two 802.11 a/b/g/n transceivers, and 4 x N-

type female interfaces (2 x 2.4 GHz, 2 x 5 GHz) for external antenna support (supports MIMO)

The hard 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-175P-F1

 AP-175AC-F1

 AP-175DC-F1

 FIPS Kit

o 4010061-01 (Part number for Tamper Evident Labels)

The exact firmware version validated was:

 ArubaOS 6.3.1.7-FIPS

2.5.1.1 Dimensions/Weight

The AP has the following physical dimensions:

 260 mm x 240 mm x 105 mm (10.2" x 9.4" x4.1")

 3.25 kg (7 lb)

2.5.1.2 Interfaces

The module provides the following network interfaces:

 1 x 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet (RJ45) ports

 1 x RJ-45 console interface (Disabled in FIPS mode by TEL)

 4 x N-Type female antenna interfaces

The module provides the following power interfaces:

 AP-175P: 48-volt DC 802.3at power over Ethernet (PoE+)

 AP-175AC: 100-240 volt AC from external AC power source

 AP-175DC: 12-48 volt DC from external DC power source
