    Are there more possibilities than described in the manual?

    Something like saving data on an external usb stick?

     

    (I'm very new in Aruba, please don't judge me for stupid questions :))

    There are no stupid questions.

     

    The USB port could be used for a cellular modem.

    You can attach an external bluetooth beacon.

    And if you power the AP externally or via PoE+, you could use the port to provide USB power to external devices. Not common, but might help is some niche scenarios.

    The only current applications of the USB port that I'm aware of are for USB  Aruba Meridian beacons and providing USB power.
