26 3.3 Modes of Operat ion The module has the following FIP S approved modes of operations: • Remote AP ( RAP) FIPS mode – When the module is configured as a Remote AP, it is i ntended to be deployed in a remote location (relative to the Mobility C o ntroller).
27 6. If the s taging co ntroller do es not pro vide Po E, either ensure the presence of a PoE injector for the LAN connection bet ween t he module and the controller, o r ensure the prese nce o f a DC po wer supply appropriate to the particular model of the module.
28 7. Connect the module via a n Ethernet cable to the sta ging controller ; note that this s hould be a direct connection, with no intervening net work or devices; if PoE is being supplied b y an inj ector, this represents the o nly exception.

30 represents the o nly exception. That is, not hing other than a P oE injector should be pr esent bet ween the module and the sta ging controller. 8. Once the module is connected to the controller b y the Ethernet cable, navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Installation page, where you should see an entry for the AP.
31 3.5 Logical Interfaces The phy sical interfaces are divided in to logical interfaces defined b y FIPS 140 -2 as descr ibed in th e following table. Table 6 - FIPS 140 - 2 Logical Interfaces FIPS 140- 2 Logical Interface Module Physical Interfa ce Data Input Interface 10/100/10 00 Ethernet Ports 802.
32 4 Roles, Authentication and Ser vices 4.1 Roles The module supp orts the roles of Cr ypto Officer, User, and W ireless Client; no ad ditional roles (e.g., Maintenance) are suppo rted. Administrative operatio ns car ried out by the Aruba Mob ilit y Contr oller map to the Crypto Of ficer ro le.
33 4.1.2 User Authentication Authentication for the User ro le depends on the module confi guratio n. When the module i s co nfigured as a Remote Mesh Por tal FIPS mo de and Re mote Mesh Point FI PS mode, the U ser role is a uthenticated via t he WPA2 p re-shared key.
34 Authentication Mechanis m Mechanis m Strength Wireless Client WPA2-PSK (Wireless Client role) For WPA2 -PSK there are at least 95 ^16 (=4.4 x 10 ^31) possible combinations. In order to test a guessed key, the attac ker must co mplete the 4-way handshake with the AP.

44 7 Self T est s The module perfor ms the follo wing Self Tests after being config ured into e ither Remote AP mode or Remote Mesh P ortal mode . The module per forms both p ower -up and conditiona l self-test s. In the e vent any self-test fails, the module enters an error state, logs the er ror, and reb oots automatically.
45 Self-test results are written to the serial console. In the event of a K ATs failure, the AP logs different messages, d epending on the error. For an ArubaOS Open SSL AP module and ArubaOS cryptogr.
