Aruba AP-5XX Wireless Access Points with ArubaOS FIPS Firmware FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Security Policy |11
The AP-504 has two (female) RP-SMA connectors for external dual band antennas (A0 and A1, corresponding with
radio chains 0 and 1). The AP-505 has two integrated dual-band downtilt omni-directional antennas for 2x2 MIMO
with peak antenna gain of 4.9 dBi in 2.4 GHz and 5.7 dBi in 5 GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal
ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.
Additionally, Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) minimizes the impact of interference from 3G/4G LTE cellular
networks, Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) maximizes the use of available RF spectrum, and Maximum Ratio
Combining (MRC) improves receiver performance.
When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, AP-504 and AP-505 offer centralized configuration, data
encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding.
2.1.1 Physical Description
The Aruba AP-504 and AP-505 Campus Access Points are multi-chip standalone cryptographic modules consisting
of hardware and software, all contained in hard, opaque plastic cases. The modules contain 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax
transceivers and support two integrated omni-directional downtilt antennas each.
The case physically encloses the complete set of hardware and software components and represents the
cryptographic boundary of the module.
The Access Point configurations validated during the cryptographic module testing included:
AP-504 HW: AP-504-USF1 (HPE SKU R2H34A)
AP-505 HW: AP-505-USF1 (HPE SKU R2H39A)
