Three internal wi-fi antennas with diversit
y
Two external, detachable LTEantennas (the secondary antenna also functions as a
GPSantenna)
•Device status LED: The device status LED is located on the triangular wedge on the top of
the device. This LED conveys operational states for system power, firmware upgrades,
connectivity with HiveManager, and WAN failover states.
•Link status LED: There is a link status LED at the top left corner of the WAN port and of each
LAN port. See "Status LEDs".
•PoE status LED: BR200-LTE-VZ routers have a PoE status LED at the top right corner of the
ETH1/PoE and ETH2/PoE ports. See "Status LEDs".
•3G/4G signal strength LEDs: There are three LEDs on the front edge
•Power connector: The AC power inlet allows you to connect the router to a 100 – 240-volt AC
power source using the DC 48V (1.25A, 60W) power supply and power cord that ship with the
product. Because the router does not have an on/off switch, it automatically powers on when
you connect it to a power source.
•WANport (ETH0): The 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet WAN port acts as a WAN interface, is
compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T/TX, and automatically negotiates half-and full-duplex
connections with the connecting device. This port is auto-sensing and adjusts to straight-
through and crossover Ethernet cables automatically. Use the yellow Ethernet cable that
ships with the device to connect your router from the WAN port to a cable or DSL modem or
other Internet device.
•LANports (ETH1 through ETH4): The four 10/100/1000-Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports act as LAN
interfaces, are compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T/TX, and automatically negotiate half-and
full-duplex connections with the connecting device. These ports are auto-sensing and adjust
to straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables automatically. On BR200-WP models, the
ETH1 and ETH2 ports also provide 802.3af and 802.3at PoE support to powered devices. See
"EthernetPorts".
•Console port:You can access the CLI by making a serial connection to the RJ45 Console port.
See "Console Port".
•Reset button: The reset button allows you to reboot the device or reinstate the default
settings to a bootstrap configuration, if you have created one. See "Reset Button".
•USBmodem port: The Type-A USB 2.0 port (backward compatible with USB1.1) allows you to
connect a wireless 3G/4G USB modem to serve as a backup WAN connection. For locations
where an Ethernet connection to the WAN is not possible, you can use the USB modem as the
primary (and only) interface to the WAN. See "USBModem Port".
•Security slot: You can physically secure the router by attaching a lock and cable (such as a
Kensington® notebook lock). Wrap the cable around an immovable object like a table or
desk, and then insert the lock into the built-in security slot in the device.
Status LEDs
The status LED on the top corner of the router indicates states of activity by color (dark, amber,
and white) and pattern (steady or flashing). The link status LEDs indicate port activity and speed by
color (dark, green, or amber) and illumination pattern (steady or flashing). For BR200-WP models,
the PoE status LEDs indicate PoE power delivery. The meanings of the various color and
illumination patterns are explained below.
Device Status LED
•Dark: There is no power to the device.
•Amber (steady): The device is powered on and the firmware is running normally.

Preliminary Draft
•Amber (flashing
)
: The device is performing a firmware upgrade. Do not turn the device off
while the LED is flashing.
•White (steady): The device has made a CAPWAP connection to HiveManager and is operating
properly.
•White (flashing): The device is communicating with HiveManager either through a wireless
connection or using a backup USB modem (if one is installed). Either the wired connection is
not operating properly, or the port priority 1 has been changed from WAN/Eth0 to an
alternate port. By default, the WAN/Eth0 port is given first priority (1). If you WAN port is
configured for port priority 1, and you want are not seeing a successful wired connection to
HiveManager, make sure that your Ethernet cable and modem are working properly, or
contact your Internet service provider.
Link Status LEDs
•Dark: There is no link.
•Green (steady): The Ethernet link is up but inactive at 1000 Mbps speeds.
•Green (flashing): The Ethernet link is up and active at 1000 Mbps speeds.
•Amber (steady): The Ethernet link is up but inactive at 10/100 Mbps speeds.
•Amber (flashing: The Ethernet link is up and active at 10/100 Mbps speeds.
PoE Status LEDs (BR200-WP)
•Dark: No power is being provided through the port.
•Green (steady): Port is delivering PoE normally to powered device.
•Amber (steady): The port is experiencing a power overload.
Ethernet Ports
There are four 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet RJ45 LAN ports (ETH 1 through ETH 4). These ports are
compatible with 10/100/100Base-T/TX and automatically negotiate half- and full-duplex
connections with the connecting device. These ports are auto-sensing and adjust to straight-
through and crossover Ethernet cables automatically.
To provide Ethernet connections to devices on the LAN side, connect the ETH 1 – ETH 4 interfaces
on the router to a switch or host.
On BR200 series routers, each of these ports represent a separate logical interface. For this reason,
you can apply multiple LAN profiles (one for each of the four ports). In HiveManager, a LAN profile
consists of a name, description, the ports to which it applies, and optional security and filtering
rules. For information about how to configure a LAN profile, refer to HiveManager Help
The pin assignments in the Ethernet ports follow the TIA/EIA-568-B standard. The ports accept
standard Cat3, Cat5, or Cat6 Ethernet cable. Because the ports have autosensing capabilities, the
wiring termination in the Ethernet cable can be either straight-through or crossover.
For PoE ports, especially with 803.2at, Aerohive recommends using Cat5 or Cat6
Ethernet cable.
PoE Ports
On BR200-WP routers, the ETH1/PoE and ETH2/PoE ports can provide to powered devices such as
VoIP phones, wireless access points, and network cameras. These ports are IEEE802.3af and
IEEE802.3at PSE (power sourcing equipment) compliant, as described here:
• 802.3af PoE provides up to 12.95 W of DC power to each device (this rate reflects normal
power loss through the cables). 802.3af meets the power demands of PoE Class 0, 1, 2, and 3
devices.

Preliminary Draft
• 802.3at PoE provides up to 25.5 W of DC power to each device (this rate reflects normal
power loss through the cables). 802.3at meets the power demands of PoE Class 4 devices.
The BR200-WP router balances PoE power output automatically. For example, if a device
connected to ETH1 requires more power than the port can provide, and if ETH1 has the higher
priority, ETH2 shuts down and shifts all remaining power to ETH1. The router generates a log for
every shutdown event.
The BR200-WP router must be connected to an AC power source. It provides power to
devices connected to one of its Eth1/PoE and Eth2/PoE LAN ports. Currently, problems
can arise if the router is connected to a switch port that is enabled to provide PoE.
When the router ports are plugged in to a PSE source, be sure to disable the PSE power
source before plugging the cables into the router ports.
Console Port
Use the RJ45 Console port to make a serial connection between your management system and the
router. 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 Windows 95 to Windows XP). The
serial connection settings are: 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow
control. For Console port pin assignments, see "Aerohive Device Pin Assignments".
Reset Button
To reset the device or restore factory setting, insert a paper clip or similar tool into the 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 default settings, hold the button down for at least 5 seconds.
When you release the button, the status LED goes dark as the system reboots, then turns amber
while the firmware loads and the system performs a self-test. After the firmware has finished
loading and the router has connected to HiveManager, the device status LED glows steady white.
USB Modem Port
Radios and Antennas
BR200 routers have a single 3x3-stream 802.11a/b/g/n BR200-WP routers have a 3x3:3 dual-band
2.4/5 GHz radio that supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n and three embedded antennas with diversity.
The figure below illustrates the relationship between the radio and antennas in a BR200-WP model.
For a detailed description of the directional patterns for the antennas, see "Configuring Antennas".
