Power Connections - Aerohive AP1130 Installation Manual

Aerohive Networks
IMPORTANT WATERPROOF CAUTIONS: It is extremely important that you have either A) the antennas tightly
ou mu
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. If you
are not using Ethernet cable, always keep the cover on the RJ45 connector to ensure the device is
waterproof.
The DC connector cap must be installed when the connector is not in use to ensure the device is
waterproof.
There are no serviceable parts inside the AP1130. Do not open the chassis for any reason. Opening the
chassis will compromise the waterproof seal and void the warranty.
Make sure that you have all the materials and tools necessary, and familiarize yourself with the safety and
site hazard warnings before you install the device. The following figure shows a typical rooftop installation.
For best performance, deploy AP1130 devices at least 100 feet (30.5 m) apart from each other.

Power Connections

In most cases, you can connect an Ethernet cable directly from your AP1130 to a PoE-enabled switch, or to a
PoE injector inside the building. You can also connect your AP1130 to a DC power source, such as a battery
backup or solar panel. If you are not using a PoE-enabled switch, you must connect to an intermediary PoE
injector, then to your switch. In cases where your AP1130 is located a significant distance from the building,
you can install an outdoor waterproof PoE injector, available as an accessory. For more information about
Aerohive accessories, contact your Aerohive sales representative.
