  • Page 5: Chapter 3 The Hiveap 28 Outdoor Platform

    Chapter 3 The HiveAP 28 Outdoor Platform The Aerohive HiveAP 28 is a new generation wireless access point that is customized for outdoor use. It is mountable in any direction and on any hard surface, post, or wire strand. It can receive power either through an Ethernet cable or power cord.
  • Page 6 RODUCT VERVIEW The HiveAP 28 is a multi-channel wireless AP (access point) for outdoor use. It is compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz) and IEEE 802.11a (5 GHz) standards and supports a variety of Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) security protocols, including WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2.
  • Page 7: Ethernet Port

    "Ethernet Port". Ethernet Port The HiveAP 28 has a 10/100Base-T/TX PoE (Power over Ethernet) port. Its pin assignments follow the TIA/EIA-568-B standard (see Figure 2 on page 26). The PoE port accepts standard types of Ethernet cable—cat3, cat5, cat5e, or cat6—and can receive power over this cable from power sourcing equipment (PSE) that is 802.3af-compatible.

    5. Strip the other end of the power cord and wire it directly to a power source, such as a junction box that has a service disconnect switch that you can use to turn the power on and off. Also, because the HiveAP 28 does not have short-circuit (over current) protection built into it, it relies on the protection provided by the power source to which you connect it.
  • Page 9 Note that when high gain antennas are added, the torus shape becomes somewhat elongated or compressed. If the HiveAP 28 is mounted higher than 20 feet the center of the torus curves inward so that the connection quality, directly underneath the center of the HiveAP 28, becomes compromised.
  • Page 10 – Mount the HiveAP 28 on a flat surface such as a wall or beam. You can mount the HiveAP 28 in any of these locations as long as the object to which you mount it and the attaching screws can support its weight (9 lbs., 4.08 kg).
  • Page 11: Pole Mount

    TTACHING NTENNAS Pole Mount To mount the HiveAP 28 to a pole with a 2-inch diameter, you need two sets of the L-shaped brackets, two 2" U-bolts, saddle clamps, and the nuts, bolts, and washers shown in Figure 5. You also need a wrench to tighten the nuts and bolts securely.

    90-degree type N adapters. In the following instructions, you use only the 2.4 GHz antennas. 1. Position the HiveAP 28 so that its long side (with three holes at each end) is underneath a cable or wire strand running lengthwise along the upper side of the chassis (for the proper orientation, see the inset in Figure 2.
  • Page 13: Surface Mount

    You can use the mounting plate to attach the HiveAP 28 to any surface that supports its weight (9 lbs., 4.08 kg), and to which you can screw or nail the plate. First, mount the plate to the HiveAP 28, and then attach the plate to the...
  • Page 14: Attaching Antennas

    Connecting Antennas Directly to the HiveAP 28 The two 2.4 GHz and two 5 GHz antennas that ship with the HiveAP 28 have male Type N connectors that you can connect directly to the female Type N antenna connectors on the HiveAP 28. You can also use self-amalgamating PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, which is available separately from Aerohive, to create a waterproof seal at the points of attachment.
  • Page 15 PVC (polyvinyl chloride)—so that it does not distort the signal. Aerohive recommends that antennas be installed away from power lines and obstructions that can interfere with radio coverage.
  • Page 16: Environmental Specifications

    6. Assuming that you are using male-to-female cables, connect the female Type N connector on the cables to the male connectors on the antennas. 7. Connect the male Type N connectors on the cables to the female antenna connectors on the HiveAP 28. EVICE...
