Chapter 4 The AP320 Platform
The Aerohive AP320 is a high-performance and highly reliable 802.11n wireless access point. The AP320
provides dual concurrent 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n radios for 3x3 MIMO (Multiple In, Multiple Out) and
dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports for link aggregation or link redundancy. Its power management system uses
a concept called smart PoE (Power over Ethernet) to adjust its power consumption automatically in
response to the available power in different environments. Smart PoE supports the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at
standards.
This chapter covers the following topics relating to the AP320:
• "AP320 Product Overview" on page 42
• "Ethernet Ports" on page 43
• "Console Port" on page 43
• "Reset Button" on page 44
• "Status LEDs" on page 44
• "Antennas" on page 44
• "Mounting the AP320" on page 45
• "Ceiling Mount" on page 45
• "Surface Mount" on page 47
• "Device, Power, and Environmental Specifications" on page 48
The AP320 supports the same 802.11n features as the AP340. Of particular interest is the support of
MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output). For more information, see "MIMO" on page 116.
