The Aruba AP-135 is a high-performance 802.11n (3x3:3) MIMO, dual-radio (concurrent 802.11a/n +
b/g/n) indoor wireless access point 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.
2.2.1 Physical Description
The Aruba AP-135 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 3 integrated omni-directional multi-band dipole antenna elements (supporting up
to 3x3 MIMO with spatial diversity).
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-135-F1
 FIPS Kit
o 4010061-01 (Part number for Tamper Evident Labels)
The exact firmware version validated was:
 ArubaOS 6.3.1.7-FIPS
2.2.1.1 Dimensions/Weight
The AP has the following physical dimensions:
 170 mm (H) x 170 mm (W) x 45 mm.
 760 g (1.68 lb)
2.2.1.2 Interfaces
The module provides the following network interfaces:
 2 x 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet (RJ45) ports
 1 x RJ-45 console interface (Disabled in FIPS mode by TEL)
 802.11a/b/g/n Antenna Interfaces (Internal)
 1 x USB 2.0 port
The module provides the following power interfaces:
 48V DC via via Power-over-Ethernet (POE )
 12V DC power supply
2.2.1.3 Indicator LEDs
There are 5 bicolor (power, ENET and WLAN) LEDs which operate as follows:
