Product Specifications
Appendix C
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
Wireless dual-band transceiver
Varied antenna options:
The Aruba AP60 has dual Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) antenna
connectors that accept a variety of high-gain detachable antennas (not
included).
The Aruba AP61 has a built-in swivel array with dual, tri-band,
omnidirectional antennas for reception diversity.
Protocol-independent networking functionality
Supports IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AP
Supports IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AM
Compatible with IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE)
Seamless connectivity to wired LANs augment existing networks quickly and
easily
Can 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:
802.11a 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).
802.11b provides an alternative to wired LANs that can dramatically cut costs
