up outdoor radio links and/or for supplying public access to
telecommunications and/or network services.
These devices may not be used for setting up outdoor radio links in France and
in some areas the RF output power may be limited to 10 mW EIRP in the
frequency range of 2454–2483.5 MHz For detailed information the end-user
should contact the national spectrum authority in France.

Countries of Operation and Conditions
of Use in the European Community
HiveAPs are intended to be operated in all countries of the European
Community. Requirements for indoor vs. outdoor operation, license
requirements and allowed channels of operation apply in some countries as
described below.
• Before operating a HiveAP, the admin or installer must properly enter the
current country code as described in Aerohive product documentation.
Note to U.S. model owners: To comply with U.S. FCC regulations, the
country selection function has been completely removed from all U.S.
models. The above function is for non-U.S. models only.
• HiveAPs automatically limit the allowable channels determined by the
current country of operation. Incorrectly entering the country of
operation might result in illegal operation and cause harmful
interference to other systems. The admin is obligated to ensure HiveAPs
are operating according to the channel limitations, indoor/outdoor
restrictions and license requirements for each European Community
country as described in this section.
• HiveAPs can be operated indoors or outdoors in all countries of the
European Community using the 2.4 GHz band: Channels 1-13, except
where noted below:
– In Italy and Luxembourg, you must apply for a license from the
national spectrum authority to operate a HiveAP outside your own
premises and for public use or service.
– In Belgium outdoor operation is only permitted using the 2.46 to
2.4835 GHz band: Channel 13.
– In France outdoor operation is limited to the 2.454 to 2.4835 GHz band
(channels 8 to 13) at a maximum of 10 mW EIRP (effective isotropic
radiated power).
– In Norway, the 2.4 GHz band cannot be used outdoors within a 20-km
radius of the center of Ny-Ålesund.
– In Russia, the 2.4 GHz band is for indoor use only.
• Because radar systems use some bands in the 5 GHz spectrum, WLAN
devices operating in these bands must use DFS (Dynamic Frequency
Selection) to detect radar activity and switch channels automatically to
avoid interfering with radar operations. For the ETSI region, the HiveAP
300 series is certified for the latest ETSI EN 301 893 v1.5.1 DFS
requirements and can use DFS channels 52 to 140 (5.26 GHz to 5.32 GHz,
and 5.5 GHz to 5.7 GHz). To comply with ETSI regulations when deploying
a HiveAP 300 series device outdoors, set the 5 GHz radio to operate on
the DFS channels and enable DFS. When deploying a HiveAP 300 series
device indoors, then the 5 GHz radio can also use channels 36 to 48 as
well as the DFS channels. The maximum transmit power for channels
from 36 to 48 are 17dBm in the ETSI region. Because this maximum is
enforced by HiveOS, the HiveAP automatically limits the power to 17 dBm
even if the setting is greater than that.
• The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency
bands are country dependent and are firmware programmed at
installation to match the intended destination. The firmware setting is
accessible by the end user. Some national restrictions are noted below:
– In Italy and Luxembourg, you must apply for a license from the
national spectrum authority to operate a HiveAP outside your own
premises and for public use or service in the 5.15 to 5.35 GHz band
(channels 36 to 64) and 5.47 to 5.725 GH
z
band (channels 100 to 140).
– In Russia, you can only use the 5.15 to 5.35 GHz band at 100 mW (20
dBm) indoors, in closed industrial and warehouse areas, and on board
aircraft for local network and crew communications during all stages
of a flight and for public WLAN access only at an altitude of 3000
meters or higher. You can only use the 5.65 to 5.825 GHz band with
100 mW EIRP on board aircraft at an altitude of 3000 meters or higher.
