2.4 AP-114

This section introduces the Aruba AP-114 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-114 is high-performance 802.11n (3x3:3) MIMO, dual-radio (concurrent 802.11a/n + b/g/n)

indoor wireless access points capable of delivering combined wireless data rates of up to 900Mbps. 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

2.4.1 Physical Description

The Aruba AP-114 series Access Point is a multi-chip standalone cryptographic module consisting of

hardware and software, all contained in a hard plastic case. The module contains 802.11 a/b/g/n

transceivers and supports external antennas through 3 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-114-F1

 FIPS Kit

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

The exact firmware version validated was:

 ArubaOS 6.3.1.7-FIPS

2.4.1.1 Dimensions/Weight

The AP has the following physical dimensions:

 160 mm (H) x 160 mm (W) x 35 mm.

 660 g

2.4.1.2 Interfaces

The module provides the following network interfaces:

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

 802.11a/b/g/n Antenna Interfaces (External)

o 3x RP-SMA antenna interfaces (supports up to 3x3 MIMO with spatial diversity)

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

 1 x USB 2.0

The module provides the following power interfaces:

 48V DC via Power-over-Ethernet (POE)

 12V DC power supply
