Chapter 5 The HiveAP 320 Platform
The Aerohive HiveAP 320 is a high-performance and highly reliable 802.11n wireless access point. The HiveAP 320
provides dual concurrent 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n radios for 3x3 MIMO (Multiple In, Multiple Out) and dual
10/100/1000 Ethernet ports for link aggregation or link redundancy. Its power management system uses a concept
called smart PoE (Power over Ethernet) to adjust its power consumption automatically in response the available
power in different environments. Smart PoE supports the IEEE 802.3af standard and the 802.3at pre-standard.
This chapter covers the following topics relating to the HiveAP 320:
• "HiveAP 320 Product Overview" on page 64
• "Ethernet and Console Ports" on page 66
• "Status LEDs" on page 66
• "Antennas" on page 67
• "Mounting the HiveAP 320" on page 68
• "Ceiling Mount" on page 68
• "Surface Mount" on page 70
• "Device, Power, and Environmental Specifications" on page 71
Note: The HiveAP 320 supports all same 802.11n features as the HiveAP 340. Of particular interest is its support
of MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output). For more information, see "MIMO" on page 55 and "Using MIMO
with Legacy Clients" on page 57.
