Aerohive Networks Aerohive devices must be installed by a professional installer who is certified to install these types of devices and to ensure that they are properly grounded and meet applicable local and national electrical codes. In the United States of America, wireless devices with N-type connectors must be installed by a professional installer to satisfy the FCC antenna requirement for a unique connection method.

Aerohive Networks You mu IMPORTANT WATERPROOF CAUTIONS: It is extremely important that you have either A) the antennas tightly installed, or B) antenna connector caps tightly installed on the antenna connectors when antennas are not being used to ensure the unit is waterproof. You can order antenna connector caps from Aerohive (AH-ACC-1130-CVR-RF). You must install the waterproof housing on the RJ45 connector to ensure a waterproof connection.

Aerohive Networks Vertical or Horizontal Pole Mount The following steps explain how to mount the AP1130 on a vertical or horizontal pole. The pole can be from 1.0 - 2.75 inches (25 to 70 mm) diameter. You can also order a hose strap that will fit poles with a 3" to 15" (76 to 381 mm) diameter (AH-ACC-1130-STRP-3-15). 1. Attach the bracket to the back of the unit for either a vertical or horizontal mount using the four mounting bolts with attached washers. Tighten the bolts with a crosshead screwdriver.

Aerohive Networks 3. Fit the hose strap around the pole and tighten the clamp with a 1/4” (2 cm) slotted screwdriver or a 5/16” (8 mm) drive socket (or nut) driver. Thread the strap through the slots in the mounting bracket (a vertical pole mount is shown). Tighten the clamp around the pole. Pole 4. Insert the fifth bolt with washer through the terminal on one end of the ground cable. Thread the bolt into the ground hole on the back of the unit and tighten it until the ground terminal is secure. 5.

Aerohive Networks Flat Surface Installation The following steps explain how to mount the AP1130 on a flat surface or wall. You will need the mounting bracket and the four bolts without washers in the plastic bag labeled “Wall Mount”. You will also need four mounting screws and wall mount anchors (not included) that are appropriate for the wall type where you are installing the unit. 1. Use the bracket as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes on the wall.

Aerohive Networks Setting the Antenna Type If you are re-installing omni-directional antennas on your device after using directional or sector antennas, you must also change the antenna type back to the default (omni). This can be done in HiveManager > Monitor > Access Points > device name > Modify. In the Modify dialog box, in the section under Device Classification where you assign radio profiles, for an AP1130 you will see a field at the far right where you can select the antenna type.

Accessing the Reset Button The Reset button is located on the right side panel. To access it, remove the screw that covers the button. Use a paper clip or similar tool to push the button in between 1 and 5 seconds to reboot the device, or for 5 seconds or more to return the device to the factory default settings.

Aerohive Networks Connecting to HiveManager By default, an AP acts as a DHCP client, and gets network settings automatically from a DHCP server. The AP then acts as a CAPWAP client and sends CAPWAP Discovery messages until HiveManager, acting as the CAPWAP server, responds. When an AP goes on line for the first time, and there is no CAPWAP server configuration entered manually or received as a DHCP option, it progresses through the following cycle of CAPWAP connection attempts. 1.
PAGE 12
Aerohive Networks If the redirection server must redirect the AP to a standalone HiveManager appliance or HiveManager Virtual Appliance, then you must configure the connection settings on the redirection server that you want it to push to the AP to make that connection. The AP first uses whatever settings are configured on it to reach the redirection server, which could be on the other side of an HTTP proxy server or firewall that only permits outbound HTTP traffic.
