• "Device, Power, and Environmental Specifications" on page 16 AP110 and AP120 devices support the same 802.11n features as the AP320 and AP340 devices. Of particular interest is their support of 2x2 MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output). For more information, see "MIMO"...
The AP110 and AP120 are both multi-channel wireless access points. The AP110 contains a dual-band radio that can operate at either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz—but not in both bands simultaneously. The AP120 contains a 2.4 GHz radio and a 5 GHz radio that can operate concurrently through four internal antennas. These devices support a variety of Wi-Fi security protocols, including WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2.
Status Indicator The status indicator has been incorporated into the Aerohive logo on the top of the AP110 and AP120. It is illuminated by various colors to indicate different states of activity. The meanings of the colors are as follows: Dark •...
On the AP110, the two dual-band antennas link to a dual-band radio, which can operate in the 2.4-GHz band for 802.11b/g/n or the 5-GHz band for 802.11a/n, but not in both bands simultaneously. On the AP120, the two 2.4-GHz antennas link to one radio, and the two 5-GHz antennas link to the other radio, both of which can operate concurrently.
AP110 AP120 OUNTING AN Ceiling Mount To mount an AP to a track in a dropped ceiling, use the appropriate track clip for the width of the ceiling track. Two clips ship with the AP: one for 1" (2.54 cm) tracks and one for 1/2" (1.27 cm) tracks.

The following specifications describe the physical features and hardware components, the power adapter and PoE (Power over Ethernet) electrical requirements, and the temperature and humidity ranges in which the device can operate.
Chapter 2 AP121 and AP141 Platforms The AP121and AP141 wireless access points are designed for excellent throughput and range. They provide dual concurrent 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n radios for 2x2 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna configurations. When you enable 802.11n high-throughput options such as wide-channel mode (40-MHz channels), A-MPDU and A-MSDU packet aggregation, short guard interval, and MCS15 data rates, they can provide a PHY data rate up to 300 Mbps per radio.

The following sections contain pin assignments and wiring information for standard and PoE (power over Ethernet) Ethernet ports for Aerohive devices. Standard (non-PoE) Ethernet Port Pin Assignments Standard (non-PoE) Ethernet ports in Aerohive devices follow the TIA/EIA-568-B standard. Figure 1 shows the pin assignments and port LEDs for a non-PoE Ethernet port.
(PSE) that is 802.3af-compatible. If you use cat5, cat5e, or cat6 cables, Aerohive PoE devices can also support 802.3at-compliant PSE. Such equipment can be embedded in a switch or router, or it can come from purpose-built devices that inject power into the Ethernet line en route to the device.
T568B. Smart PoE The AP320, AP340, BR200-WP, and SR2024 switch apply the Aerohive concept of smart PoE (power over Ethernet) to adjust power consumption as necessitated by varying levels of available power. The AP340 and BR200-WP support PoE on the ETH0 or ETH1 interfaces and can draw power through either one or through both simultaneously.

RJ45 C ONSOLE SSIGNMENTS Redundant Interface If a single Ethernet link provides sufficient bandwidth and speed, such as a 1000 Mbps link, but you want to ensure link redundancy, you can connect the two Ethernet ports to the same switch—or to two different switches—and configure them to act as a redundant interface called "red0".
As anyone who has administered a WLAN system knows, configuring the antennas correctly at the outset can save you lots of trouble. The external antennas on many Aerohive devices are adjustable, and can be patch, directional (single-direction), and omnidirectional antennas. The type of antenna you use determines the coverage pattern.
To accomplish this, the transmitter separates a single data stream into multiple spatial streams, one for each RF chain (an antenna + various digital signal processing modules linked to the antenna). The transmit antennas at the end of each RF chain then transmit their spatial streams. The Aerohive...

MIMO recipient’s receive antennas obtain streams from all the transmit antennas. In fact, due to multipath, they receive multiple streams from each transmit antenna. The receive antennas pass the spatial streams to the digital signal processors in their RF chains, which take the best data from all the spatial streams and reassemble them into a single data stream once again (see Figure Figure 8...
802.11a and 802.11g clients. To do that, enter the following command: no radio profile <string> allow-11b-clients By blocking access to 802.11b clients, their slower data rates cannot clog the WLAN when the amount of wireless traffic increases. Aerohive...
