IAP-215

UNIQUE BENEFITS
• Wi-Fi client optimization
– The 210 series features patented ClientMatch
technology to eliminate sticky client behavior while
users roam. ClientMatch continuously gathers session
performance metrics from mobile devices.
– If a mobile device moves away from an AP or if RF
interference impedes performance, ClientMatch
automatically steers the device to a better AP.
• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
– ACC lets WLANs to perform at peak efficiency by
minimizing interference from 3G/4G LTE networks,
distributed antenna systems and commercial small
cell/femtocell equipment.
• Quality of service for unified communication apps
– The 210 series supports priority handling and policy
enforcement for unified communication apps, including
Microsoft Lync with encrypted videoconferencing, voice,
chat and desktop sharing

ADVANCED FEATURES
• RF management
– Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology
automatically assigns channel and power settings,
provides airtime fairness and ensures that APs stay
clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable,
high-performance WLANs.
– 210 series APs can be configured to provide part-time or
dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis and wireless
intrusion protection, VPN tunnels to extend corporate
resources to remote locations, and wireless mesh
connections where Ethernet drops are not available.
• Spectrum analysis
– Capable of part-time or dedicated air monitoring, the
spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4-GHz and
5-GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF interference
• Security
– Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers thread
protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for
separate RF sensors and security appliances.
– IP reputation and security services identify, classify, and
block malicious files, URL and IPs, providing comprehensive
protection against advanced online threats.
– Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure
storage of credentials and keys.
– SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired
Ethernet traffic.

OPERATING MODES
• Aruba Instant AP
• Mobility Controller-managed AP

WIRELESS RADIO SPECIFICATIONS
• AP type: Indoor, dual radio, 5 GHz 802.11ac and 2.4 GHz
802.11n 3×3:3
• Software-configurable dual radio supports 5 GHz (Radio 0)
and 2.4 GHz (Radio 1)
• 3×3 MIMO with three spatial streams and up to 1.3 Gbps
wireless data rate
• Support for up to 256 associated client devices per radio,
and up to 16 BSSIDs per radio

ANTENNAS
• AP-214/IAP-214: Three RP-SMA connectors for external
dual-band antennas. Internal loss between radio interface
and external antenna connectors (due to diplexing
circuitry): 1.0 dB in 2.4 GHz and 2.0 dB in 5 GHz.
• AP-215/IAP-215: Three integrated downtilt omnidirectional antennas per radio for 3×3 MIMO with
maximum antenna gain of 5.0 dBi in 2.4 GHz and 5.0 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.
– The maximum gain of the combined (summed) antenna
patterns for all elements operating in the same band is
6.9dBi in 2.4 GHz and 8.8dBi in 5 GHz.

OTHER INTERFACES
• One 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet network interface (RJ-45)
– Auto-sensing link speed and MDI/MDX
– 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
– PoE-PD: 48 Vdc (nominal) 802.3af or 802.3at PoE
• DC power interface, accepts 1.7/4.0-mm center-positive
circular plug with 9.5-mm length
• USB 2.0 host interface (Type A connector)
• Visual indicators (LEDs):
– Power/system status
– Ethernet link status (ENET)
– Radio status (two; RAD0, RAD1)
• Reset button: factory reset (during device power-up)
• Serial console interface (RJ-45)
• Kensington security slot

POWER
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption: 14.9 watts
(PoE) or 13.6 watts (DC)
– Excludes power consumed by external USB device (and
internal overhead); this could add up to 6 watts (PoE) or
5.5 watts (DC) for 5W/1A USB device
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode:
8.2 watts (PoE) or 7.4 watts (DC)
• Direct DC source: 12 Vdc nominal, +/- 5%
• Power over Ethernet: 48 Vdc (nominal) 802.3af/802.3at
compliant source
– USB port is disabled when using an 802.3af PoE power
source; for unrestricted operation with PoE power, use
an 802.3at compliant source
• Power sources sold separately
• When both power sources are available, DC power
takes priority
