2.4.1 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.
