User's Manual

• 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.

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".
