Setting the Antenna Type
If you are re-installing omni-directional antennas on your device after using directional or sector antennas,
you must also change the antenna type back to the default (omni). This can be done in HiveManager >
Monitor > Access Points > device name > Modify.
In the Modify dialog box, in the section under Device Classification where you assign radio profiles, for an
AP1130 you will see a field at the far right where you can select the antenna type. Make sure that omni is
selected for both bands. When you are finished, remember to click Save.
You can also make this change through an SSH session using the following CLI command:
#int wifi1 radio antenna type omni
Attaching the Ethernet Cable Waterproof Housing
The following steps explain how to ensure a weatherproof seal for the Ethernet cable using the waterproof
housing assembly shown in the illustration.
1. Disassemble the waterproof housing. There are four pieces: a threaded nut, a slotted cable grip, a
waterproof plug, and a threaded housing.
2. Slide the threaded nut over the Ethernet cable. Use Ethernet cable that is rated for outdoor use.
3. Slip the waterproof plug over the cable in front of the threaded nut.
4. Slip the slotted cable grip onto the Ethernet cable in front of the plug. Make sure the ridge on the cable
grip is facing the RJ45 connector on the cable. Correct and incorrect positioning are shown below.
5. Slide the threaded housing onto the cable and over the cable grip (the grip fits inside the housing).
6. Push the cable connector into the threaded housing until you cannot push it any farther and it is firmly
seated in the housing.
7. Push the waterproof plug into the threaded housing until it fits snugly behind the cable grip.
8. Screw the threaded nut onto the threaded housing until it is tight.
9. Insert the Ethernet cable into the female connector on the chassis. Rotate the head of the threaded
housing clockwise until it locks into place.
10. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE-enabled switch, or PoE injector.
Use only standard (non-booted) Ethernet cables rated for outdoor use. The rubber connector covers
(boots) on booted cables can interfere with the connection and compromise the waterproof seal.
