AP110 AND AP120 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Ethernet Port
The AP can receive power through an Ethernet connection to the ETH0 port from PSE (power sourcing
equipment) that is compatible with the 802.3af and 802.3at standards. Aerohive provides suitable PoE
injectors as an optional accessory.
The ETH0 port is compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T/TX and automatically negotiates half- and full-duplex
connections with the connecting device. It is autosensing and adjusts to straight-through and crossover
Ethernet cables automatically. The port accepts standard cat3, cat5, cat5e, and cat6 Ethernet cable and
can receive power over the Ethernet cable from power sourcing equipment (PSE) 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 AP. Because the PoE port has autosensing
capabilities, the wiring termination in the Ethernet cable can be either straight-through or crossover.
The pin assignments for the PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Ethernet port
follow the TIA/EIA-568-B standard (see
"Power over Ethernet Port Pin Assignments" on page 110).
Reset Button
You can reset the device or return it o the factory setting using the Reset button. Insert a paper clip or similar
tool into the Reset pinhole and press the reset button. To reboot the device, hold the button down between
1 and 5 seconds. To return the configuration to the factory default settings, hold it down for at least 5
seconds. After releasing the button, the status indicator goes dark as the system reboots. Then it glows blue
while the device boots and the system performs a self-test. After the firmware finishes loading and the AP is
ready to serve clients, the status indicator glows white.
To disable the reset button from resetting the configuration, enter this command: no reset-button
reset-config-enable Pressing the button between 1 and 5 seconds will still reboot the AP, but pressing it
for more than 5 seconds will not reset its configuration.
Status Indicator
The status indicator has been incorporated into the Aerohive logo on the top of the AP110 and AP120. It is
illuminated by various colors to indicate different states of activity. The meanings of the colors are as follows:
•
Dark: There is no power or the status indicator is disabled.
•
Blue (steady): The device is booting up or there is no backhaul link; (flashing) the device is shutting
down.
•
Green: The default route is through the backhaul Ethernet interface, but not all conditions for normal
operations (white) have been met.
•
Yellow: The default route is through a backhaul wifi interface, but not all conditions for normal
operations (white) have been met.
48VDC power
connector
The 48-volt DC power connector (0.3 amps), with a voltage range of 36 to 57 volts
DC, is one of two methods through which you can power the AP (the other is PoE).
To connect it to a 100 – 240-volt AC power source, use the AC/DC power adaptor
that is available as an extra accessory. Because the AP does not have an on/off
switch, connecting it to a power source automatically powers on the device.
If you connect the AP to a power source using the power connector and the PoE port at the same
time, the AP draws power through the power connector and automatically disables PoE.)
