Ethernet and Console Ports
The two operational 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet ports use standard RJ45 connector pin assignments that
follow the TIA/EIA-568-B standard (see Figure 3 on page 111). They accept standard types of Ethernet
cable—cat3, cat5, cat5e, or cat6. Because the ports have autosensing capabilities, the wiring termination in
the Ethernet cables can be either straight-through or crossover. Port 1 is reserved for management
connections, while port 2 is reserved for LAN connections.
Through the RJ45 Console port, you can make a serial connection between your management system and
the HiveManager appliance. The pin-to-signal mapping is described in "RJ45 Console Port Pin Assignments"
on page 113.
The serial connection settings are:
• Bits per second: 9600
• Data bits: 8
•Parity: none
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
The default login name is
admin and the password is Aerohive. After making a connection, you can
access the Linux operating system.
Status LEDs
The LEDs on the front panel of the HiveManager appliance indicate the status for power and hard disk drive
activity through their color (dark or green) and illumination patterns (steady glow or blinking). The meanings
of the color and patterns for these LEDs are shown in Figure 2.

Ethernet ports The two operational Ethernet ports are compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbps
connections. See "Ethernet and Console Ports" on page 100.
Cooling fans System fans and a power supply fan maintain an optimum operating temperature.
Be sure that air flow through the fan ducts is not obstructed.
Serial number label The serial number label contains the FCC compliance stamp, model number, input
power specifications, and serial number for the device.
AC power inlet The three-prong AC power inlet is a C14 chassis plug through which you can
connect the device to a 100 – 240-volt AC power source using the 10-amp/125-volt
IEC power cord that ships with the product.
On/Off switch The on ( | ) and off (  ) switch controls the power to the HiveManager Appliance.
