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.

Aerohive AP250
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 APto 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 APlisted 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 GUIafter about ten minutes, see the
Aerohive product documentation to understand how the APattempts 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.
