Component Description
Status LEDs The status LEDs convey operational states for system power, firmware,
Ethernet interfaces, and radios. For details, see "Status LEDs" on page 66.
ETH0 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE Port
and ETH1 10/100/1000 Mbps Port
The two 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet ports—ETH0 and ETH1—receive
RJ-45 connectors. The HiveAP can receive power through an Ethernet
connection to the ETH0 port from PSE (power sourcing equipment) that is
compatible with the 802.3af standard and the forthcoming 802.at
standard. Aerohive provides suitable PoE injectors as an optional
accessory. (If you connect the HiveAP to a power source through the
power connector and the ETH0 PoE port simultaneously, the device draws
power through the power connector and automatically disables PoE.)
