Chapter 5 The AP340 Platform
50 Aerohive
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AP340 is a multi-channel wireless access point. It is compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz) and IEEE
802.11a/n (5 GHz) standards and supports a variety of Wi-Fi security protocols, including WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) and WPA2.
You can see the hardware components on the AP in Figure 1. Each component is described in Table 1
"AP340 component descriptions".

Component Description
Status LEDs The status LEDs convey operational states for system power, firmware, Ethernet
interfaces, and radios. See "Status LEDs" on page 52.
Device lock slot You can physically secure the AP by attaching a lock and cable (such as a
Kensington
®
notebook lock) to the device lock slot or by using the lock adapter that
is included in the mounting kit and a padlock. See "Locking the AP340" on page 56.
802.11a/b/g/n
RP-SMA connectors
You can connect up to six detachable single-band antennas to the male
802.11a/b/g/n RP-SMA (reverse polarity-subminiature version A) connectors.
Connect the longer antennas, which support 2.4 GHz frequencies (for IEEE
802.11b/g/n), to the connectors on the side panel with the Ethernet ports. Connect
the shorter antennas, which support 5 GHz frequencies (for IEEE 802.11a/n), to the
connectors on the side panel with the device lock slot. See "Antennas" on page 53.
10/100/1000 Mbps
PoE ports
The two 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet ports—ETH0 and ETH1—support IEEE 802.3af and
802.3at PoE (Power over Ethernet) and receive RJ45 connectors. See "Ethernet Ports"
on page 51.
