HPE Aruba IAP-315 Instant Wireless Access Point (JW811A)

310 Series Specifications
• AP-314 (controller-managed) and IAP-314 (Instant):
• 5GHz 802.11ac 4x4 MIMO (1,733 Mbps max rate) and 2.4 GHz 802.11n 2x2 MIMO (300 Mbps max rate) radios, with a
total of four dual-band RP-SMA connectors for external antennas
• AP-315 (controller-managed) and IAP-315 (Instant):
− 5GHz 802.11ac 4x4 MIMO (1,733 Mbps max rate) and 2.4 GHz 802.11n 2x2 MIMO (300 Mbps max rate)
radios, with a total of four integrated omni-directional downtilt dual-band antennas

WI-FI Antennas
• AP-314/IAP-314: Four RP-SMA connectors for external dual band antennas. Worst-case internal loss between radio
interface and external antenna connectors (due to diplexing circuitry): 0.6dB in 2.4 GHz and 1.2dB in 5 GHz.
• AP-315/IAP-315: Four integrated dual-band downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4x4 MIMO with maximum antenna
gain of 3.6dBi in 2.4 GHz and 6.0dBi 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.
− Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the effective per-antenna
pattern is 3.1dBi in 2.4 GHz and 3.8dBi in 5 GHz.

Other Interfaces
• One 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet network interfaces (RJ-45)
− Auto-sensing link speed and MDI/MDX
− 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
• USB 2.0 host interface (Type A connector)
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio
− Up to 4dBm transmit power (class 2) and -91dBm receive sensitivity
− Integrated antenna with roughly 30 degrees downtilt and peak gain of 3.4dBi (AP-314/IAP-314) or 1.5dBi (AP315/IAP-315)
• Visual indicators (multi-color LEDs): For system and radio status
• Reset button: Factory reset (during device power up)
• Serial console interface (proprietary; optional adapter cable available)
• Kensington security slot

Power Sources and Consumption
• The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (POE)
• When both power sources are available, DC power takes priority over POE
• Power sources are sold separately
• Direct DC source: 12Vdc nominal, +/- 5%
− Interface accepts 2.1/5.5-mm center-positive circular plug with 9.5-mm length
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): 48 Vdc (nominal) 802.3af/802.3at compliant source
− Unrestricted functionality with 802.3at PoE
− When using IPM, the AP may enter power-save mode with reduced functionality when powered by an 802.3af
PoE source (see details on Intelligent Power Monitoring elsewhere in this datasheet)
− Without IPM, the USB port is disabled and transmit power of the 2.4 GHz radio chains is reduced by 3dB to
15dBm max when the AP is powered by and 802.3af PoE source
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption: 14.4W (802.3at PoE), 13.6W (802.3af PoE) or 12.7W (DC)
− Excludes power consumed by external USB device (and internal overhead); this could add up to 6.3W (PoE) or
5.9W (DC) for a 5W/1A USB device
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 6.4W (PoE) or 5.9W (DC)

Mounting
• The AP ships with two (white) mounting clips to attach to a 9/16-inch or 15/16-inch flat T-bar drop-tile ceiling.
• Several optional mount kits are available to attach the AP to a variety of surfaces; see the Ordering Information section for
details.

Warranty
• Aruba Limited lifetime warranty

Minimum Operating System Software Versions
• ArubaOS 6.5.0.0
