Chapter 8 The AP320 Platform
Ethernet and Console Ports
The AP320 has two RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T/TX Ethernet ports and one RJ-45 console port.
The pin assignments in the PoE (Power over Ethernet) Ethernet ports follow the TIA/EIA-568-B standard (see
Figure 2 on page
66). The ports accept standard types of Ethernet cable—cat3, cat5, cat5e, or cat6. The
ETH0 port can receive power over the Ethernet cable from (PSE) power sourcing equipment that is
802.3af-compatible. If you use cat5, cat5e, or cat6 cables, the ETH0 port 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 AP320. Because the PoE ports have autosensing
capabilities, the wiring termination in the Ethernet cable can be either straight-through or cross-over.
The AP320 supports the following features on its Ethernet ports:
•
The AP320 supports smart PoE on its ETH0 port to adapt its power consumption to changes in the amount
of power available to it over Ethernet from PSE. For more information, see
•
The two Ethernet interfaces can be configured as aggregate interfaces for increased throughput and
redundant interfaces for increased reliability. For more information, see
Interfaces" on page
Through the RJ-45 console port, you can make a serial connection between your management system and
the Aerohive device. The pin-to-signal mapping of the RJ-45 console port is the same as that for the AP340,
which is shown in
Figure 3 on page
as those for the AP340 (see
Status LEDs
The five status LEDs on the top of the AP320 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
and 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
