Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD-prevention procedures when handling electronic components. Make sure the rack or cabinet (if used) housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over. Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check the circuit. Reliable Grounding - Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips.) To meet radiation exposure requirements in all countries, these devices should be installed at a minimum distance of 12.5" (32 cm) from your body. See individual country warning for country-specific distances, if required. All Ethernet and RS232 (console) ports and the cables attached to them are designed for intra-building connection to other equipment. Do not connect these ports directly to wiring that exits the building where this appliance is located Aerohive AP250 Page 7 of 15 Installing the AP250 The following sections describe how to install your Aerohive AP250 devices, connect them to the network, and start managing them in HiveManager NG. Shipping Carton Contents The AP250 access point shipping carton contains the following items: • AP250 chassis • Generic QuickStart Guide • Hardware accessories kit containing: • 3 wall-mount screws and three wall anchors • Wall-mount or diagonal ceiling mounting bracket For mounting instructions, see "Mounting the AP250 ". For information about securing the device, see "Securing the AP250". For information about the status indicator light, see "Status Light". Mounting the AP250 You can mount the AP250 on a flat surface, a wall, or to the tracks of a dropped ceiling grid. The following sections describe these installation methods. Wall or Non-dropped Ceiling Mount Attach the AP250 to any vertical or horizontal surface that will supports its weight (1.6 lb, or 0.73 kg), and to which you can install wall mount screws. Use the following procedure. 1. Use the bracket keyholes as a template to mark the mounting hole locations, and drill two corresponding holes in the wall or drywall ceiling. Aerohive AP250 Page 8 of 15 2. Install two wall mount screws (and plastic anchors if necessary). Leave the screw heads far enough away from the wall so that the bracket will slip over the screw heads (you can test this using the bracket). If you are connecting the device to cables from inside the wall, drill an access hole for the cables. 3. Attach the device to the bracket by lining up the mount tabs on the bottom of the device with the corresponding tab depressions on the bracket. Slip the tabs under the edges of the tab depressions and rotate the device until it clicks into place on the bracket. 4. Mount the device on the wall or ceiling by slipping the bracket keyholes over the screw heads and sliding the screws into the narrow part of the keyhole. To remove the device from the bracket, use a small flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool to depress the mount clips on the bottom of the device and release it from the bracket, as shown in the illustration. Aerohive AP250 Page 9 of 15 Dropped Ceiling Track Mount You can mount the AP250 in either a square or diagonal position on a standard 15/16"-wide track (2.38 cm) in a dropped ceiling. A diagonal mount requires the diagonal mount bracket that ships with the device. This section describes how to do both installations. Square Dropped Ceiling Track Mount Slip the mount tabs over the edges of the ceiling track as shown in the illustration, then rotate the device slightly until the mount clips click into place over the track edges. You can also mount these devices to non-standard or recessed dropped ceiling tracks using brackets designed for 9/16" (1.34 cm) tracks. These brackets can be ordered from Aerohive (AH- ACC-BKT-80211AC-KIT). Aerohive AP250 Page 10 of 15 Diagonal Dropped Ceiling Track Mount Follow these steps and the illustration to mount an AP250 in the diagonal position on a standard dropped ceiling track. 1. Attach the diagonal bracket to the device by slipping the mount tabs on the device over the plain edges of the bracket. 2. Rotate the bracket until the mount clips on the device click into place over the bracket edge. 3. Hold the device upside down and slip the mount clips on the diagonal bracket over the edges of the ceiling track. Because you are installing the device from below, it is helpful to use your fingertips to identify the location of the mounting tabs by touch. 4. Press the device gently against the track and rotate it until the mount clips click into place. Aerohive AP250 Page 11 of 15 Securing the AP250 You can secure the AP using a Kensington ® lock in the lock slot on the side of the device, or you can order a security bracket kit (AH-ACC-SEC-KIT-80211AC) to secure it to a ceiling track or to a wall. Aerohive recommends a variety of Kensington locks. For more information, contact your sales representative. Connecting the AP250 Follow these steps to connect your AP250 to power and to the network. 1. Connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable from ETH0 on the AP to a switch that provides PoE power, or use a PoE injector (see "Ethernet Ports". 2. After the AP receives power, it automatically tries to get network settings and contact HiveManager NG. This process takes about five minutes. When you see the AP listed on the Devices page in the Monitor section of the HiveManager NG GUI, the initial setup is complete and you can begin managing the AP with HiveManager NG. 3. If the AP does not appear in the HiveManager NG GUI after about ten minutes, see the Aerohive product documentation to understand how the AP attempts to contact HiveManager NG, and learn what you can do to help establish the connection. These resources are available for free at www.aerohive.com/techdocs. Aerohive AP250 Page 12 of 15 Hardware Components You can see the hardware components of the AP250 in the illustration below and read about them in the sections that follow. To meet federal radiation exposure requirements, these devices should be installed at a minimum distance of 9.05" (23 cm) from your body. Component Descriptions Status Light The status light conveys operational states for system power, firmware updates, Ethernet and wireless interface activity, and major alarms. The AP250 has a rectangular status light bar on the top corner and down one side of the chassis. The colors of this light bar indicate the following states of activity: Dark: There is no power or the status indicator is disabled. Amber (flashing): This is an alert that indicates that the device is performing a firmware upgrade. Do not power off the device during this process. Amber (steady): This is an alert that indicates that the CAPWAP connection has not been successfully established, or the device is booting or shutting down. White: The device is powered on, a successful CAPWAP connection has been made, and the firmware is operating normally. During normal operation, the LED produces a slow blink consisting of 4 seconds of illumination followed by one minute of darkness. To extend the life of the status LED, turn it off completely for normal use, and turn it on when needed for troubleshooting. To turn the LED off, establish a console connection with the device and enter the following CLI command: system led brightness off To turn the LED on, enter the following CLI command: You can choose the level of brightness the LED displays: system led brightness [bright | soft | dim] Aerohive AP250 Page 13 of 15 Console Port The Console port is located on the bottom of the device. Use this port to make a serial connection between your management system and the AP. The management station from which you connect to the device must have a VT100 emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro © (a free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve HyperTerminal ® (provided with Windows ® operating systems from XP forward). The serial connection settings are: 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control. The pin-to-signal mapping for the Console port is shown in "Aerohive Device Pin Assignments". Ethernet Ports The AP250 has two RJ45 10/100/1000Base-T/TX Ethernet ports (ETH0 and ETH1) that automatically negotiate half- and full-duplex connections with the connecting device. The ports are autosensing and adjust to straight-through and crossover standard Cat3, Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 Ethernet cables automatically. The APs receive power through an Ethernet connection to the ETH0 port from PSE that is compatible with the 802.3at and 802.3af standards. Power sourcing 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 ports have autosensing capabilities, the wiring termination in the Ethernet cable can be either straight-through or crossover. If you use a USB LTE modem, you must use 802.3at standard PoE and PSE. You can purchase your own PoE injector or purchase the following 20 W and 30 W PoE injectors as optional accessories from Aerohive (not available in Brazil): • AH-ACC-INJ-20W-EU • AH-ACC-INJ-30W-EU • AH-ACC-INJ-20W-US • AH-ACC-INJ-30W-US • AH-ACC-INJ-20W-AU • AH-ACC-INJ-30W-AU • AH-ACC-INJ-20W-IL • AH-ACC-INJ-30W-IL Reset Button Use the Reset button to reset the device or restore the factory default settings. Insert a paper clip or similar tool into the Reset pinhole and press the button. To reboot the device, press the button for 5 seconds. To return the configuration to the factory default settings, press it for at least 10 seconds. After releasing the button, the indicator light goes dark, and then glows steady amber while the firmware loads and the system performs a self-test. After the software finishes loading and the AP has connected to HiveManager NG, the status indicator glows steady white. To disable the reset button from resetting the configuration, enter this command: no reset-button reset-config-enable . When this command is enabled, pressing the button for 5 seconds will still reboot the AP, but pressing it for more than 10 seconds will not reset its configuration. Aerohive AP250 Page 14 of 15 USB Modem Port The USB modem port (backward compatible with USB1.1) allows you to connect a wireless 3G/4G USB modem to serve as a backup WAN connection. If you use a USB LTE modem, you must use 802.3at standard PoE and PSE. The port is protected by a port cover, as shown in the hardware components illustration above. To access the port, remove the screw that secures the cover in place. To protect the port, keep the cover in place when the port is not in use. For additional security, when you are not using the port, you can secure it with one of the security screws that ship with the device. If you use the security screw, you will need a spanner insert bit for size #6 security screws and a driver handle that will accept the bit. These bits are available from Aerohive in sets of three for AP121, AP141, AP230, AP250, AP330, AP350, AP370, and AP390 models (AH-ACC-SEC-BIT-330-AP350-3PK). Antennas The AP250 has nine internal antennas: • Five single-band 5 Ghz antennas • Three dual-band 2.4 GHz/5 GHz antennas • One BLE antenna. Locking Slot When mounting the AP on a ceiling track or flat surface, you can secure it to the track using a Kensington ® lock in the lock slot or using a security bracket (shipped separately).
