Radio and Antennas

BR200-WP routers have a 3x3 dual-band 2.4/5 GHz radio that supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n and three
embedded antennas with diversity.
antennas. For a detailed description of the directional patterns for the antennas, see
on page 115.

Description
The device status LED is located on the triangular wedge on the top of the device.
This LED conveys operational states for system power, firmware upgrades,
connectivity with HiveManager, and WAN failover states. For details, see
LEDs" on page 94.
There is a link status LED at the top left corner of the WAN port and of each LAN port.
For details see "Status LEDs" on page
BR200-WP routers have a PoE status LED at the top right corner of the ETH1/PoE and
ETH2/PoE ports.
The AC power inlet allows you to connect the BR200 series router to a 100 – 240-volt
AC power source using the DC 48V (1.25A, 60W) power supply and power cord that
ship with the product. Because the router does not have an on/off switch, it
automatically powers on when you connect it to a power source.
The 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet WAN port acts as a WAN interface, is compatible
with 10/100/1000Base-T/TX, and automatically negotiates half-and full-duplex
connections with the connecting device. This port is auto-sensing and adjusts to
straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables automatically.
Use the yellow Ethernet cable that ships with the device to connect your router from
the WAN port to a cable or DSL modem or other Internet device.
The four 10/100/1000-Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports (ETH 1 through ETH 4) act as LAN
interfaces, are compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T/TX, and automatically negotiate
half-and full-duplex connections with the connecting device. These ports are
auto-sensing and adjust to straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables
automatically. See "Ethernet Ports" on page
On BR200-WP models, the ETH1 and ETH2 ports also provide 802.3af and 802.3at PoE
(power over Ethernet) support to powered devices. See
on page 93.
You can access the CLI by making a serial connection to the RJ45 console port. For
details, see "Console Port" on page
The reset button allows you to reboot the device or reinstate the default settings to
a bootstrap configuration, if you have created one. See
The Type-A USB 2.0 port (backward compatible with USB1.1) allows you to connect
a wireless 3G/4G USB modem to serve as a backup WAN connection. For locations
where an Ethernet connection to the WAN is not possible, you can use the USB
modem as the primary (and only) interface to the WAN. See
page 93.
For specific information about the modems supported for the BR200 series routers
and configuration settings, refer to HiveManager Help.
You can physically secure the router by attaching a lock and cable (such as a
®
Kensington notebook lock). Wrap the cable around an immovable object like a
table or desk, and then insert the lock into the built-in security slot in the device.
