Aerohive Chapter 3 The HiveAP 28 Outdoor Platform The Aerohive HiveAP 28 is a new generation wireless access point that is customized for outdoor use. It is mountable in any direction and on any hard surface, post, or wire strand. It can receive power either through an Ethernet cable or power cord. Note: Do not open the HiveAP 28 chassis. There are no serviceable parts inside. This guide combines product information, installation instructions, and configuration examples for both the HiveAP and HiveManager platforms. This chapter covers the following topics relating to the HiveAP 28: • • • "HiveAP Product Overview" on page 34 • "Ethernet Port" on page 35 • "Power Connector" on page 36 • "Antennas" on page 37 "Mounting the HiveAP 28 and Attaching Antennas" on page 38 • "Pole Mount" on page 39 • "Strand Mount" on page 40 • "Surface Mount" on page 41 • "Attaching Antennas" on page 42 "Device, Power, and Environmental Specifications" on page 44 Deployment Guide 33 Chapter 3 The HiveAP 28 Outdoor Platform HIVEAP PRODUCT OVERVIEW The HiveAP 28 is a multi-channel wireless AP (access point) for outdoor use. It is compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz) and IEEE 802.11a (5 GHz) standards and supports a variety of Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) security protocols, including WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2. You can see the hardware components on the HiveAP 28 in Figure 1. Each component is described in Table 1. Figure 1 HiveAP 28 Hardware Components Power Connector 5 GHz For the 802.11a Radio Antenna Table 1 FCC Compliance Label (Plus model, serial number, MAC address, and FCC ID number) 10/100 Mbps Power-overEthernet Port 2.4 GHz For the 802.11b/g Radio Antenna 5 GHz Type N female connectors for detachable single-band antennas For the 802.11a Radio Antenna 2.4 GHz For the 802.11b/g Radio Antenna 802.11a Main Antenna (5 GHz) 802.11b/g Main Antenna (2.4 GHz) 802.11b/g Auxiliary Antenna (2.4 GHz) 802.11a Auxiliary Antenna (5 GHz) HiveAP 28 Component Descriptions Component Description Detachable Single-Band Antennas The two pairs of detachable omnidirectional dipole antennas operate at two radio frequencies: one pair at 2.4 GHz (for IEEE 802.11b/g) and the other at 5 GHz (for IEEE 802.11a). For details, see "Antennas" on page 37. Type N Connectors (Female) Attach antennas to the HiveAP 28 through these connectors. For details, see "Attaching Antennas" on page 42. Waterproof Power Connector Using the power connector is one of two methods through which you can power the HiveAP 28. To connect it to a 100 – 240-volt AC power source, use the power cable that ships with the product as an extra option. Because the HiveAP does not have an on/off switch, connecting it to a power source automatically powers on the device. The power source must have a readily accessible service disconnect switch incorporated into the fixed wiring installation so that you have the ability to turn the power on and off. (The other method that the HiveAP can obtain power is through its PoE port.) 34 Aerohive HIVEAP PRODUCT OVERVIEW Component Description 10/100 Mbps PoE Port The 10/100-Mbps Ethernet port supports IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) and receives RJ-45 connectors. The HiveAP can receive its power through an Ethernet connection to PSE (power sourcing equipment) that is 802.3af-compatible. (If you connect the HiveAP to a power source through the power connector and PoE port simultaneously, the device draws power through the power connector and automatically disables PoE.) The HiveAP 28 can also connect to the wired network or to a wired device (such as a security camera) through this port. It is compatible with 10/100Base-T/TX and automatically negotiates half- and full-duplex connections with the connecting device. It is autosensing and adjusts to straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables automatically (MDI/MDI-X). It also automatically adjusts for 802.3af Alternative A and B methods of PoE. For details, see "Ethernet Port". Ethernet Port The HiveAP 28 has a 10/100Base-T/TX PoE (Power over Ethernet) port. Its pin assignments follow the TIA/EIA-568-B standard (see Figure 2 on page 26). The PoE port accepts standard types of Ethernet cable—cat3, cat5, cat5e, or cat6—and can receive power over this cable from power sourcing equipment (PSE) that is 802.3af-compatible. 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 HiveAP. Because the PoE port has autosensing capabilities, the wiring termination in the Ethernet cable can be either straight-through or cross-over (MDI/MDI-X). For outdoor deployments use weatherproofed shielded twisted pair (STP) Ethernet cables. To ensure a waterproof seal for the Ethernet connection, use the RJ-45 connector assembly, which comes in three parts: a compression nut, end cap, and gasket. Figure 2 Connecting the Ethernet Cable Slide the Ethernet cable through the two halves of the waterproof RJ-45 connector assembly, screw the halves loosely together, and then plug the cable into the Ethernet port. Compression Nut End Cap Gasket (inside) Tighten the compression nut into the Ethernet port housing on the chassis. Tighten the end cap until the gasket is squeezed out the opening and forms a watertight seal around the cable. Gasket (squeezed out) 1. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable through the waterproof RJ-45 connector assembly and plug the cable into the Ethernet port. 2. Tighten the compression nut by twisting it clockwise into the Ethernet port housing on the chassis. 3. Tighten the end cap by twisting it clockwise onto the compression nut and tighten until the rubber gasket emerges and wrap itself around the Ethernet cable. The Ethernet connection is now sealed and waterproof. Deployment Guide 35 Chapter 3 The HiveAP 28 Outdoor Platform 4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to PSE (power sourcing equipment), such as a power injector, if the HiveAP 28 receives power through PoE, or directly to a network device, such as a switch, if it receives power through a power cord. Note: To prevent damage to the HiveAP 28 or power injector when using PoE to provide power, connect the Ethernet cable from the power injector to the HiveAP 28, and connect the injector to a power jack before applying power. If the Ethernet cable connects the HiveAP to another device that is indoors, you must install appropriate lightning protection at the point before it enters the building. Failing to do so might cause damage to the equipment as well as serious injury or death. Note: When the HiveAP acts as a mesh point and does not use the Ethernet port, cover the Ethernet port with a connector cap to prevent water intrusion and possible safety hazards. Power Connector The HiveAP 28 can receive power through an Ethernet cable using PoE or through a power cord. Aerohive recommends using either PoE or wiring the power cord directly to a 100 – 240-volt AC power source. Only plug the power cord into an electric outlet when configuring the device before deployment or when testing it in the lab. Note: When the HiveAP receives power through PoE, cover the power connector with a connector cap to prevent water intrusion and possible safety hazards. To connect the power cord to the HiveAP 28: 1. Align the slot in the power cord plug with the small tab at the top of the three-pin power connector, and slide the plug firmly over the pins until it is fully seated in the power connector. 2. Slide the cover over the connector and tighten it by turning the cover clockwise. 3. Install a lightning protector between the HiveAP 28 and its power source. 4. When possible, run the cord through a conduit to protect it from the elements. Where the cord is exposed, allow enough slack in it to create a drip loop. Leaving some slack in the cord lets water run away from the connections at each end. Use only a weatherproof power cord, such as the cord that ships with the HiveAP 28. 5. Strip the other end of the power cord and wire it directly to a power source, such as a junction box that has a service disconnect switch that you can use to turn the power on and off. Also, because the HiveAP 28 does not have short-circuit (over current) protection built into it, it relies on the protection provided by the power source to which you connect it. Ensure that the protective device, such as a circuit breaker, is not rated greater than 15A. Furthermore, if you need to install the HiveAP 28 in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that is powering it must be provided with ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Note: The HiveAP 28 must be grounded. Do not operate it unless there is a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. 36 Aerohive HIVEAP PRODUCT OVERVIEW Antennas The HiveAP 28 includes two detachable single-band antennas with 8dBi gains (802.11b/g) and two detachable single-band antennas with 10dBi gains (802.11a). These antennas are omnidirectional, providing fairly equal coverage in all directions in a toroidal (donut-shaped) pattern around each antenna. When the antennas are vertically positioned, coverage expands primarily on the horizontal plane, extending horizontally much more than vertically. See Figure 3, which shows the toroidal pattern emanating from a single vertically positioned antenna. Note that when high gain antennas are added, the torus shape becomes somewhat elongated or compressed. If the HiveAP 28 is mounted higher than 20 feet the center of the torus curves inward so that the connection quality, directly underneath the center of the HiveAP 28, becomes compromised. To change coverage to be more vertical than horizontal, position the HiveAP so that the antennas are on a horizontal plane. You can also resize the area of coverage by increasing or decreasing the signal strength. Figure 3 Omnidirectional Radiation Pattern HiveAP The omnidirectional antennas radiate equally in all directions, forming a toroidal pattern. Note: To show the shape of radiation more clearly, this illustration depicts the coverage provided by only one active antenna and is not drawn to scale. The pairs of antennas operate concurrently in two different frequency ranges: 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.11b/g) and 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11a). Using two different frequency ranges reduces the probability of interference that can occur when numerous channels operate within the same range. Conceptually, the relationship of antennas and radios is shown in Figure 4. (For information about attaching the antennas to the HiveAP 28, see "Attaching Antennas" on page 42.) Figure 4 Antennas and Radios 802.11b/g Main Antenna 802.11a Main Antenna 802.11a Auxiliary Antenna 802.11b/g Auxiliary Antenna Radio 1 RF 802.11b/g 2.4 GHz The two 802.11b/g antennas link internally to Radio 1 and broadcast in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. Radio 2 RF 802.11a 5 GHz The two 802.11a antennas link internally to Radio 2 and broadcast in the 5 GHz frequency range. Note: The HiveAP 20 uses interface interface radio antenna external command to enable an external antenna attached to it. Entering this command on the HiveAP 28 disables the antenna on the opposite side of the device from the radio to which the interface is linked and results in a loss of diversity. Deployment Guide 37 Chapter 3 The HiveAP 28 Outdoor Platform MOUNTING THE HIVEAP 28 AND ATTACHING ANTENNAS Using the mounting accessories (available separately) you can mount the HiveAP in various locations: • "Pole Mount" on page 39 – Mount the HiveAP 28 on a pole such as the arm of a street light. • "Strand Mount" on page 40 – Suspend the HiveAP 28 from a cable or phone line. • "Surface Mount" on page 41 – Mount the HiveAP 28 on a flat surface such as a wall or beam. You can mount the HiveAP 28 in any of these locations as long as the object to which you mount it and the attaching screws can support its weight (9 lbs., 4.08 kg). After mounting the HiveAP 28, attach the antennas as explained in "Attaching Antennas" on page 42. Before you mount the HiveAP 28 and attach antennas, read the following warnings and cautions: 38 • To install the HiveAP 28, you must be a qualified installation professional, licensed or certified in accordance with local regulations. • Use lightning arrestors and ground both the HiveAP 28 and any separately mounted antennas. • Do not connect or disconnect antennas or cables from the HiveAP 28 during periods of lightning activity. • If you need to place the HiveAP 28 in an explosive environment, such as in an oil refinery, mine, or any place where there is flammable gas, it must first be encased in an ATEX enclosure. • To comply with RF (radio frequency) exposure limits, do not place antennas within 6.56 feet (2 meters) of people. • Do not locate antennas near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where they can come into contact with such circuits. When installing antennas, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, which might cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, refer to national and local electrical codes: NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 70, National Electrical Code Article 810 (U.S.); Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA 22.1 and Section 54 (Canada); and if local or national electrical codes are not available, refer to IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 364, Part 1 through 7 (other countries). • To prevent damage, avoid over-tightening the connectors, nuts, and screws used to mount the antenna and the antenna itself. Aerohive MOUNTING THE HIVEAP 28 AND ATTACHING ANTENNAS Pole Mount To mount the HiveAP 28 to a pole with a 2-inch diameter, you need two sets of the L-shaped brackets, two 2" U-bolts, saddle clamps, and the nuts, bolts, and washers shown in Figure 5. You also need a wrench to tighten the nuts and bolts securely. Figure 5 Attaching the HiveAP 28 to a Pole Bird’s-Eye View 5/16-18 Nuts Use the 1/4-20 bolts and split washers to attach the shorter end of the L-shaped bracket to holes in the underside of the HiveAP 28.

Align two of the holes in the shorter end of the bracket with two of the holes in the HiveAP, insert the two bolts through the washers and bracket, and screw them into the holes in the HiveAP 28 chassis, using a wrench to tighten the bolts so that the bracket is securely attached. Note: Repeat this step to attach the other bracket to the HiveAP. However, this time, place the long end of the bracket in the opposite direction of the first one for better stability. For example, if you attached the first bracket with its long end positioned toward the outside edge of the device, install this second bracket with the long end of the bracket toward the middle. 2. Holding a saddle clamp against the inside of the long end of one of the L-shaped brackets, slip a U-bolt around the pole and thread it through the two holes in the saddle clamp and L-shaped bracket. Note: One of the holes in the bracket is arc-shaped so that you can adjust the angle of the mounted device if necessary. 3. Thread a split washer and 5/16-18 nut to each end of the U-bolt, and tighten them with a wrench to secure the U-bolt firmly to the pole. Note: Repeat steps 2 and 3 to attach the other U-bolt and saddle clamp to the remaining L-shaped bracket and secure the HiveAP 28 to the pole. Deployment Guide 39 Chapter 3 The HiveAP 28 Outdoor Platform Strand Mount The HiveAP 28 outdoor platform can also be mounted on a cable or strand of wire as shown in Figure 6. When mounted on a wire strand, use 90-degree N type adapters (not included) to orient the antennas vertically. If you do not use the adapters and orient the antennas horizontally, the area covered will be far less.

Attach 90-degree type N adapters to the 2.4 GHz antenna connectors so that the adapters face downward, and then attach the antennas to the adapters Note: For clarity, only one bolt, washer, and strand clamp are shown in the illustration on the left. You also need to use a second set of these items to finish clamping the HiveAP to a wire strand. Side view of the HiveAP 28 mounted on a cable strand To mount the HiveAP 28 on a wire or strand, you need a wrench and two 1/4-20 bolts, split washers, strand clamps, and 90-degree type N adapters. In the following instructions, you use only the 2.4 GHz antennas. 1. Position the HiveAP 28 so that its long side (with three holes at each end) is underneath a cable or wire strand running lengthwise along the upper side of the chassis (for the proper orientation, see the inset in Figure 6). 2. Place the strand clamp over the wire and use the 1/4-20 bolt and split washer to secure the strand between the clamp and chassis. Note: Repeat the preceding steps to fasten the other end of the HiveAP 28 to the cable or wire strand. 3. Attach the 90-degree type N adapters to the two 2.4 GHz antenna connectors and then attach the antennas to the adapters so that the antennas face downward. For details, see "Attaching Antennas" on page 42. 40 Aerohive MOUNTING THE HIVEAP 28 AND ATTACHING ANTENNAS Surface Mount You can use the mounting plate to attach the HiveAP 28 to any surface that supports its weight (9 lbs., 4.08 kg), and to which you can screw or nail the plate. First, mount the plate to the HiveAP 28, and then attach the plate to the surface, as shown in Figure 7. Note that the screw heads that you attach to the wall or surface must be small enough for the keyholes on the mounting plate to slip over them. Note: Because the metal in a wall can degrade the radio signal pattern, Aerohive recommends using sector antennas instead of omnidirectional antennas when mounting the device on a wall. Figure 7 Mounting the HiveAP 28 on a Wall With the ridged edge of the holes on the mounting plates facing the HiveAP 28, use 1/4-20 x 1/2 inch screws to secure the two mounting plates to its underside. Attach four screws to a secure object such as a wall or beam. Space them 8 1/8" (206 mm) apart vertically and 7 7/8" (200 mm) apart horizontally. Guide the screws fastened to the wall through the keyholes in the mounting plates.

You also need a second plate with another set of screws. To mount the HiveAP 28 to a surface like a wall, you need two mounting plates, four 1/4-20 x 1/2" flat head screws, four screws (no bigger than 5/16"), and a screw driver: 1. Align the ridged edge of one of the mounting plates with two of the holes located on the underside of the HiveAP 28, and use two 1/4-20 x 1/2" flat head screws to secure the plate against the HiveAP 28. Then attach the other mounting plate to the HiveAP 28 in the same way. 2. Attach four 5/16" screws to a wall or beam. They must be 8 1/8" (206 mm) apart vertically and 7 7/8" (200 mm) apart horizontally to accommodate the keyholes on the mounting plates. 3. Guide the keyholes over the screws fastened to the wall and push downward after the screw heads have cleared the keyholes. Deployment Guide 41 Chapter 3 The HiveAP 28 Outdoor Platform Attaching Antennas You can connect the antennas directly to the HiveAP 28 or mount them separately. Although connecting the antennas directly to the device typically provides better performance, in some cases the location of the HiveAP might not be a good location for the antennas; for example, if the HiveAP 28 is mounted on a reinforced concrete wall that interferes with radio coverage. In such cases, mounting the antennas separately in a more open location can improve coverage; however, bear in mind that cables introduce loss into the overall signal strength and that the longer the cable connecting the antennas to the HiveAP 28, the greater the loss will be. Note: Cover any unused antenna connectors with a connector cap to prevent water intrusion and possible safety hazards. Connecting Antennas Directly to the HiveAP 28 The two 2.4 GHz and two 5 GHz antennas that ship with the HiveAP 28 have male Type N connectors that you can connect directly to the female Type N antenna connectors on the HiveAP 28. You can also use self-amalgamating PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, which is available separately from Aerohive, to create a waterproof seal at the points of attachment. To attach the antennas: 1. Remove the antenna connector covers from the HiveAP 28 (you can leave a cover on the connector if you are not planning to use it), and make sure that the surface of the connectors on the HiveAP 28 and the connectors on the antennas are clean. 2. If you are using PTFE tape, wrap the tape around the threads on the HiveAP 28 antenna connectors as follows: 2.1. Starting at one end of the threads on one of the connectors, stretch the tape and wrap it in half-lap layers until you cover the threads completely. 2.2. Wrap the tape in the opposite direction to bring it back onto itself for one full wrap. 2.3. Place one thumb on the tape at the point of termination and stretch the tape until it breaks. 2.4. Repeat the preceding steps to cover all the connectors to which you will attach antennas. 3. Connect the 2.4 GHz antennas to the 2.4 GHz antenna connectors. (To tighten an antenna, turn the antenna base cap—the textured metal band that encloses the connector—clockwise over the tape-covered threads of the HiveAP antenna connector.) Their connections are now sealed and waterproof. 4. Repeat the preceding steps to connect the 5 GHz antennas. Mounting Antennas Separately In addition to connecting antennas directly to the HiveAP 28, you can also mount them separately and run a cable between the antennas and the device. Use either male-to-female cables with Type N connectors or use male-to-male or female-to-female cables with cable gender changers. (The antennas have male Type N connectors and the HiveAP 28 has female Type N connectors.) Note: Using cables to mount antennas separately causes some signal loss and using a cable gender changer can cause even more. The amount of loss varies from product to product, so refer to the documentation accompanying the cables and gender changer you use for information. To minimize loss, Aerohive recommends using LMR400 cables and using the shortest cables possible. 42 Aerohive MOUNTING THE HIVEAP 28 AND ATTACHING ANTENNAS You can mount antennas at the top of a pole as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9, or to a flat surface. If you must mount the antenna lower on a pole, the pole must be nonmetallic—such as one made from a hard plastic like PVC (polyvinyl chloride)—so that it does not distort the signal. Aerohive recommends that antennas be installed away from power lines and obstructions that can interfere with radio coverage. For each antenna that you mount, you need an attachment clamp, a 1 3/8" bolt and nut, a V-bolt, two washers and two nuts, a hose clamp, and two wrenches. Figure 8 Securing an Antenna to an Attachment Clamp Antenna 1 3/8” Bolt Nut Base Cap Attachment Clamp Insert the bolt through the attachment clamp and hold it in place with the nut. Do not tighten it yet. Insert the antenna into the clamp until it grips the base cap. Use one wrench to hold the nut in place and the other to tighten the bolt. 1. Insert the 1 3/8" bolt through the attachment clamp and screw a nut loosely onto its end. 2. Place the antenna base cap inside the attachment clamp. 3. Using a pair of wrenches, tighten the nut to the bolt until the clamp grips the base cap firmly. Figure 9 Mounting an Antenna to a Pole Side View With the attachment clamp against one side of the pole, insert the V-bolt through the two holes in the clamp from the other side. Then thread washers and nuts over the two ends of the bolt and tighten them in place with a wrench. Bird’s-Eye View Antenna Nuts Washers Hose Clamp Attachment Clamp Nonmetallic Pole (2” diameter) V-Bolt Deployment Guide or Note: Aerohive recommends attaching the antenna near the top of the pole. If you need to improve the stability of the mounted antenna, fasten it to the pole with a hose clamp (included) as shown on the far right. 43 Chapter 3 The HiveAP 28 Outdoor Platform 4. To mount the antenna on a nonmetallic pole, place the attachment clamp against the pole, thread the V-bolt through the holes on the attachment, the washers, and nuts, and use the wrenches to tighten the nuts to the bolt. (Optional) For added stability, fasten the top of the antenna to the pole with the hose clamp. To mount the antenna directly to a flat surface, run bolts or screws (not included) through the two holes in the attachment clamp, and fasten them firmly to the surface. Note: Radio coverage might be limited if the surface acts as an obstruction. 5. Make sure that all the antenna and cable connectors are clean. If you are using PTFE tape, wrap the tape around the threads on the HiveAP 28 antenna connectors as explained in "Connecting Antennas Directly to the HiveAP 28" on page 42. 6. Assuming that you are using male-to-female cables, connect the female Type N connector on the cables to the male connectors on the antennas. 7. Connect the male Type N connectors on the cables to the female antenna connectors on the HiveAP 28.
