DEPLOYMENT AND CONFIGURATION TIPS
This section contains tips and suggestions to help you troubleshoot any problems you may experience when you set
up your HiveAP.
• If the client fails to authenticate to an SSID using a PSK (preshared key), check that the PSK on the client
matches that on the HiveAP and reset one or both keys if necessary.
• If you manage the HiveAP through HiveManager Online and it does not show up on the Monitor > Access Points
> HiveAPs page, do the following:
• Check if the HiveAP serial number is listed in the ACL on the Aerohive redirection server. Log in to
myaerohive.com

not in the ACL, click Enter, type the serial number in the HiveAP Serial Number field, and then click Save.
When done, reboot the HiveAP.
