Ethernet and Console Ports
The two 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet ports on the HiveManager labeled MGT and LAN use standard RJ-45 connector
pin assignments that follow the TIA/EIA-568-B standard (see Figure2). They accept standard types of Ethernet
cable—cat3, cat5, cat5e, or cat6. Because the ports have autosensing capabilities, the wiring termination in the
Ethernet cables can be either straight-through or cross-over.
Figure 2 Ethernet Port LEDs and Pin Assignments
USB PortThe USB port is reserved for internal use.
Status LEDsThe status LEDs convey operational states for the system power and hard
disk drive. For details, see "Status LEDs" on page20.
MGT and LAN Ethernet PortsThe MGT and LAN Ethernet ports are compatible with 10/100/1000-Mbps
connections, automatically negotiate half- and full-duplex mode with the
connecting devices, and support RJ-45 connectors. They are autosensing
and automatically adjust to straight-through and cross-over Ethernet
cables. The two ports allow you to separate traffic between the
HiveManager and its administrators from traffic between the
HiveManager and the HiveAPs it manages.
System FansThe two system fans maintain an optimum operating temperature. Be
sure that air flow through the system fan vents is not obstructed.
Serial NumberThe serial number
AC Power InletThe three-prong AC power inlet is a C14 chassis plug through which you
can connect a HiveManager to a 100 – 240-volt AC power source using the
10-amp/125-volt IEC power cord that ships with the product.
On/Off SwitchThe on ( | ) and off ( ) switch controls the power to the HiveManager.
Power FanThe fan that maintains the temperature of the power supply.
Note: The default IP address/netmask for the MGT interface is 192.168.2.10/24, and the IP address of the
default gateway is 192.168.2.254. By default, the LAN interface is not configured.

The Ethernet ports are auto-sensing and can automatically adjust to transmit and receive data over straight-through or cross-over
Ethernet connections. For a diagram showing T568A and T568B wiring, see "Ethernet and Console Ports" on page12.
