After connecting an external antenna, you must enter the following command to move subinterfaces from the fixed
antennas to the external antenna:
interface subinterface radio antenna external
where subinterface stems from an interface (wifi0 or wifi1) linked to the radio to which the external antenna
connects: radio 1 (frequency = 2.4 GHz for IEEE 802.11b/g) or radio 2 (frequency = 5 GHz for IEEE 802.11a).
Note that you link interfaces to radios, and subinterfaces to antennas. For example, to link the wifi0 interface to
radio 2, enter this command:
interface wifi0 radio profile name phymode 11a
where radio profile name is a set of previously defined radio parameters. Then, link one of the wifi0.x
subinterfaces to the external antenna connected to radio 2 by using the interface subinterface radio
antenna external command. If you do not enter this command, the subinterface uses the remaining fixed
antenna that remains connected to radio 2 (the external antenna only disables the adjacent fixed antenna).
Note: For information about these and other commands, see the Aerohive CLI Reference Guide.

You can use the mounting plate to attach the HiveAP to any surface that supports its weight (1.5 lb., 0.68 kg) and to
which you can screw or nail the plate. First, mount the plate to the surface, and then attach the device to the
plate, as shown in

With the two wings at the sides of the plate extending
away from the surface, attach the mounting plate to a
secure object such as a wall, ceiling, post, or beam.
