Product Label

The product label is affixed to the chassis of the Aruba AP 60/61 The symbols on the label are explained in this chapter.

Product Features

zWireless dual-band transceiver

zVaried antenna options:

zThe Aruba AP60 has dual Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) antenna connectors that accept a variety of high-gain detachable antennas (not included).

zThe Aruba AP61 has a built-in swivel array with dual, tri-band, omnidirectional antennas for reception diversity.

zProtocol-independent networking functionality

zSupports IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AP

zSupports IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AM

zCompatible with IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE)

zSeamless connectivity to wired LANs augment existing networks quickly and easily

zCan be centrally managed, configured, and upgraded through the Mobility Controller to take advantage of network changes and security improvements

Ethernet Compatibility

The Aruba AP 60/61 attaches to 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) LAN segments that utilize 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) wiring. The device appears as an Ethernet node and performs a routing function by moving packets between the wired LAN and remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.

Radio Characteristics

The Aruba AP 60/61 can be configured to support IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AP, and supports both IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AM:

z802.11a provides a high data rate and reliable wireless connectivity

802.11a operation uses a radio modulation technique known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates in the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band. Data is transmitted over a half-duplex radio channel operating at up to 54 Megabits per second (Mbps).

z802.11b provides an alternative to wired LANs that can dramatically cut costs
