Aruba 210 Series Access Points
Installation Guide
The Aruba AP-214 and AP-215 wireless access points support the IEEE 802.11n standard for high-performance
WLAN. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-throughput mode
techniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz and 802.11ac 5 GHz functionality while simultaneously
supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The AP-210 Series access points work only in conjunction with
an Aruba Controller.
The Aruba AP-210 Series access point provides the following capabilities:
Wireless transceiver
Protocol-independent networking functionality
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless access point
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless air monitor
Compatibility with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and 802.3af PoE
Central management configuration and upgrades through a controller
Package Contents
