• AP-535: Four integrated dual-band downtilt omni- directional antennas for 4x4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 3.5dBi in 2.4GHz and 5.4dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.
  • A mix of horizontally and vertically polarized antenna elements is used
  • Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the combined, average pattern is 1.9dBi in 2.4GHz and 3.5dBi in 5GHz.

• E0, E1: HPE SmartRate port (RJ-45, maximum negotiated speed 5Gbps)
  • Auto-sensing link speed (100/1000/2500/5000BASE-T) and MDI/MDX
  • 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps speeds comply with NBase-T and 802.3bz specifications
  • POE-PD: 48Vdc (nominal) 802.3af/at/bt POE (class 3 or higher)
  • 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
• Link aggregation (LACP) support between both network ports for redundancy and increased capacity
• POE power can be drawn from either port (single source, or set to prioritize) or both ports simultaneously (set to combine) When set to prioritize, the AP draws power from E0 and may failover to E1.
• DC power interface: 48Vdc (nominal, +/- 5%), accepts 1.35mm/3.5mm center-positive circular plug with 9.5mm length
• USB 2.0 host interface (Type A connector)
  • Capable of sourcing up to 1A / 5W to an attached device
• Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy (BLE5.0) and Zigbee (802.15.4)* radio
  • BLE: up to 8dBm transmit power (class 1) and -95dBm receive sensitivity
  • Zigbee: up to 8dBm transmit power and 99dBm receive sensitivity
  • Integrated vertically polarized omnidirectional antenna with roughly 30 degrees downtilt and peak gain of 3.1dBi (AP-535) or 5.0dBi (AP-534)
• Visual indictors (two multi-color LEDs): for System and Radio status
• Reset button: factory reset, LED mode control (normal/off)
• Serial console interface (proprietary, micro-B USB physical jack)
• Kensington security slot

*Not initially supported; will be enabled in a future software release

• The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (POE; on port E0 and/or E1)
• When POE power is supplied to both Ethernet ports, the AP can be configured to combine or prioritize power sources
• When both DC and POE power sources are available, DC power takes priority over POE
• Power sources are sold separately; see the ordering Information section below for details
• When powered by DC, 802.3bt (class 5) POE or 2x 802.3at (class 4) POE, the AP will operate without restrictions.
• When powered by 1x 802.3at (class 4) POE and with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB port and disable the other Ethernet port. In the same configuration but with IPM enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but may dynamically apply restrictions depending on the POE budget and actual power. The feature restrictions and order can be programmed.
• Operating the AP with an 802.3af (class 3 or lower) POE source is not supported.
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption:
  • DC powered: 23.3W
  • POE powered (802.3bt or dual 802.3at): 26.4W
  • POE powered (802.3at, IPM disabled): 23.3W
  • All numbers above are without an external USB device connected. When sourcing the full 5W power budget to such a device, the incremental (worst-case) power consumption for the AP is up to 5.7W ( POE powered) or 5.5W ( DC powered).
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 13.3W ( POE) or 14.3W (DC)
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep mode: 3.8W (POE) or 3.6W (DC)

• A mounting bracket has been pre-installed on the back of the AP. This bracket is used to secure the AP to any of the mount kits (sold separately); see the ordering Information section below for details.
