Introduction1

The Aruba AP 60/61 is part of a comprehensive wireless network solution. The device works in conjunction with the Aruba Mobility Controller and can act as a wireless access point or air monitor.

As a wireless Air Monitor (AM), a feature unique to Aruba products, the Aruba AP 60/61 enhances wireless networks by collecting statistics, monitoring traffic, detecting intrusions, enforcing security policies, balancing wireless traffic load, self-healing coverage gaps, and more.

NOTE: Installing the Aruba AP 60/61 requires setting the antenna power, which requires professional training. The Aruba AP 60/61 installer must be trained to perform this configuration.
