Aruba AP-175 Outdoor Access Point
Installation Guide
The Aruba AP-175 is a resilient, environmentally hardened, outdoor rated, dual-radio, dual-band IEEE
802.11 a/b/g/n wireless access point. This outdoor access point is part of Aruba's comprehensive wireless
network solution. The AP-175 works only in conjunction with an Aruba controller and each AP can be
centrally managed, configured, and upgraded through the controller.
There are three versions of the AP-175, which mainly differ in the way they receive power.
AP-175P: PoE+ powered (802.3at)
AP-175AC: AC powered (100 - 240 VAC)
AP-175DC: DC powered (12 - 48 VDC)
The AP-175AC/DC can function as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device by providing power through its
Ethernet port in compliance with the IEEE 802.3af standard.
