OUNTING THE
You can mount the HiveAP 170 on a variety of outdoor structures and adjust the orientation to vertical for optimum
radio transmission. For example, you can mount the HiveAP 170 on a non-penetrating roof stand or to a Winegard
bracket, often used for mounting satellite dishes. The mounting bracket is adjustable to fit poles with a 1" to 3.5"
(2.5 cm to 8.9 cm) diameter.
To provide unobstructed RF coverage, mount the HiveAP 170 in a relatively open area. At a minimum, mount it on a
pole, mast, of flat surface so that the antennas have at least a three-foot clearance from any nearby obstructions.
After checking that you have all the materials and tools necessary, and familiarizing yourself with the safety and
site hazard warnings, you are ready to mount the unit. You can mount the HiveAP 170 on a vertical or horizontal
pole, or attach it to a flat surface. These options are described below. The device and mounting accessories
required for mounting the HiveAP 170 are shown in

Note: For best performance, deploy HiveAPs at least 100 feet (30.5 m) apart from each other.

PoE Connections

In most cases, you can connect an Ethernet cable directly from your HiveAP 170 to a PoE-enabled switch, or to a PoE
injector inside the building (see
intermediary PoE injector, then to your switch (see
significant distance from the building, you can install an outdoor waterproof PoE injector, available separately (SKU
AH-ACC-OINJ-30W).
