Component Description
Mounting Brackets The two mounting brackets allow you to mount the HiveManager in a
standard 19" (48.26 cm) equipment rack. You can also move the brackets
to the rear of the chassis if you need to reverse mount it.
Console Port A male DB-9 serial port to which you can make a console connection using
an RS-232 (or "null modem") cable. The pin assignments are the same as
those on the HiveAP (see "Ethernet and Console Ports" on page 30).
The management station from which you make a serial connection to the
HiveManager must have a VT100 emulation program, such as Tera Term

operating systems). The following are the serial
connection settings: bits per second: 9600, data bits: 8, parity: none,
stop bits: 1, flow control: none. The default login name is admin and the

Linux operating system.
