Aruba Networks 175 series User manual

Aruba 175 Series Outdoor Access Points Aruba Data Sheet
The 175 series can be congured to provide part-time or dedicated
air monitoring for spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion protection,
VPN tunnels to extend remote locations to corporate resources, and
wireless mesh connections where Ethernet drops are not available.
CHOOSE YOUR OPERATING MODE
The 175 series of outdoor APs offers a choice of operating modes
to meet your unique management and deployment requirements.
• Controller-managedmode. When managed by Aruba Mobility
Controllers, 175 series APs offer centralized conguration, data
encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as
distributed and centralized trafc forwarding. Please refer to the
Aruba Mobility Controller data sheets for more details.
• ArubaInstant™mode. In Aruba Instant mode, a single AP
automatically distributes the network conguration to other
Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up one Instant AP,
congure it over the air, and plug in the other APs – the entire
process takes about ve minutes.
For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba Activate™
service signicantly reduces deployment time by automating device
provisioning, rmware upgrades, and inventory management. With
Aruba Activate, Instant APs are factory-shipped to any site and
congure themselves when powered up.
If WLAN and network requirements change, a built-in migration
path allows 175 series Instant APs to become part of a WLAN that
is centrally managed by a Mobility Controller.
ADVANCED FEATURES
• Spectrum Analysis:
-Spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz
radio bands to identify sources of RF interference.
• Security:
-With an OpenDNS service subscription, Aruba Instant
delivers integrated web ltering, malware and botnet
protection to every device connected to the WLAN
-Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage
of credentials and keys

These high-performance 802.11n outdoor APs deliver
wireless data rates up to 300 Mbps per radio and ensure peak
performance by utilizing channel bonding, block acknowledgement
and MIMO radios. Advanced antenna technology also increases
RF signal range and reliability.
Able to survive in harsh outdoor environments, 175 series APs
withstand exposure to high and low temperatures, persistent
moisture and precipitation, and are fully sealed to keep out
airborne contaminants. All electrical interfaces include industrial-
strength surge protection.
The 175 series outdoor APs feature two dual-band 2.4-GHz and
5-GHz radios with 2x2 MIMO and four external antenna connectors.
WI-FI CLIENT OPTIMIZATION
To eliminate sticky client behavior, every Aruba AP comes with
ClientMatch™ technology, which continuously gathers session
performance metrics and utilizes this data to steer mobile devices
to the best AP and radio on the WLAN, even while users roam.
BEST-IN-CLASS RF MANAGEMENT
All Aruba APs include Adaptive Radio Management™ technology,
which is essential to creating the most reliable, high-performance
WLANs. ARM™ manages the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands to
optimize Wi-Fi client performance and ensures that APs stay clear
of RF interference.
