Chapter 7 The AP340 Platform
Status LEDs
The five status LEDs on the top of the AP340 indicate various states of activity through their color (dark,
green, amber, and red) and illumination patterns (steady glow or pulsing). The meanings of the various color
+ illumination patterns for each LED are explained below.
Power
Dark
•
: No power
Green
•
(steady): Powered on and the firmware is running normally
Green
•
(flashing): Firmware is booting up
Amber
•
(steady): Firmware is being updated
Amber
•
(flashing): Alarm indicating a firmware issue has occurred
Red
•
(steady): Alarm indicating a hardware issue has occurred
ETH0 and ETH1
Dark
•
: Ethernet link is down or disabled
Green
•
(steady): 1000 Mbps Ethernet link is up but inactive
Green
•
(flashing): 1000 Mbps Ethernet link is up and active
Amber
•
(steady): 10/100 Mbps Ethernet link is up but inactive
Amber
•
(flashing): 10/100 Mbps Ethernet link is up and active
WIFI0 and WIFI1
Dark
•
: Wireless interface is disabled
Green
•
(steady): Wireless interface is in access mode but inactive
Green
•
(flashing): Wireless interface is in access mode and active
Amber
•
(steady): Wireless interface is in backhaul mode but inactive
Amber
•
(flashing): Wireless interface is in backhaul mode and is connected with other hive members
Green and amber

Antennas
The AP340 can accept up to six detachable dipole antennas. The three shorter antennas are designed for
the 5 GHz band and have a 2-dBi gain. The three longer antennas are designed for the 2.4 GHz band and
have a 4.9-dBi gain. These antennas are omnidirectional, providing fairly equal coverage in all directions in a
toroidal (donut-shaped) pattern around each antenna. For greater coverage on a horizontal plane, it is
best to orient the antennas vertically. So that you can easily do that whether the AP chassis is mounted
horizontally or vertically, the antennas hinge and swivel (see
Although hive members automatically adjust their signal strength according to their environments, you can
resize the area of coverage by increasing or decreasing the signal strength manually by entering the
interface { wifi0 | wifi1 } radio power <number> command, where <number> can be from 1 to
20 and represents a value in dBm.
