Their power requirements/restrictions are the same. So does that mean that the AP-315 is better than the Ap-325 because the 325 will not operate in unrestricted mode with dual connections to 802.3at power sources? No!

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.

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).

Interface accepts 2.1/5.5-mm center-positive circular plug with 9.5-mm length.

Direct DC source: 12Vdc nominal, +/- 5%.

When both power sources are available, DC power takes priority over POE.

Power-save mode with reduced functionality from 802.3af PoEĪccording to the AP-315 data sheet, it’s power sources and consumption is outlined as:.

Unrestricted functionality with 802.3at PoE.

Power over Ethernet (PoE): 48 Vdc (nominal) 802.3af/802.3at compliant source.

Direct DC source: 12 Vdc nominal, +/- 5%.

When both power sources are available, DC power takes priority.

The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (POE).

This is because it does not require two connections.Īccording to the AP-325 data sheet, it’s power sources and consumption is outlined as: Here’s one that I’ve heard a handful of times – The AP-325 will enter a “Power Saver” restricted mode, if an access point does not have two wired 802.3 at Ethernet connections, making AP-315 the better option. Accusation #1: The AP-315 is better than the AP-325 What better time to discuss these accusations and take a deep dive into how the AP-310 compares to the 300/320/330. A couple allegations have surfaced surrounding the Aruba AP-310 series access points in comparison to other AP’s in the Aruba indoor 300 level Wave 2 lines.
