10/100/1000 Mbps PoE Ports
The two 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet ports—ETH0 and ETH1—support IEEE
802.3af and 802.3at PoE (Power over Ethernet) and receive RJ-45
connectors. The AP can receive power through one or both Ethernet
connections from PSE (power sourcing equipment) that is compatible with
the 802.3af standard and the forthcoming 802.3at standard, such as one of
the PoE injectors available as an optional accessory from Aerohive. (If you
connect the AP to a power source through the power connector and PoE
ports simultaneously, the device draws power through the power
connector and automatically disables PoE.)
10/100/1000 Mbps PoE Ports
(continued)
You can configure ETH0 and ETH1 as two individual Ethernet interfaces,
combine them into an aggregate interface to increase throughput, or
combine them into a redundant interface to increase reliability. You can
connect the AP340 to a wired network or to a wired device (such as a
security camera) through these ports using bridging. They are compatible
with 10/100/1000Base-T/TX and automatically negotiate half- and
full-duplex connections with the connecting device. They are autosensing
and adjust to straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables
automatically. For details, see
"Ethernet and Console Ports" on page 66
.
Power Connector
The 48-volt DC power connector (0.625 amps) is one of two methods
through which you can power the AP340. To connect it to a 100 – 240-volt
AC power source, use the AC/DC power adaptor that is available as an
extra option. Because the AP does not have an on/off switch, connecting it
to a power source automatically powers on the device.
Console Port
You can access the CLI by making a serial connection to the RJ-45 console
port. The management station from which you make a serial connection to
the AP must have a VT100 emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro
©
(a
free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve Hyperterminal
®
(provided with
Windows
®
operating systems). The following are the serial connection
settings: bits per second: 9600, data bits: 8, parity: none, stop bits: 1, flow
control: none. For details, see
"Ethernet and Console Ports" on page 66
.
Reset Button
The reset button allows you to reboot the device or reset the AP to its
factory default settings. Insert a paper clip, or something similar, into the
Reset 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
factory default settings, hold it down for at least 5 seconds. After releasing
the button, the Power LED goes dark as the system reboots. Then it pulses
green while the firmware loads and the system performs a self-test. After
the software finishes loading, the Power LED glows steady green.
To disable the reset button from resetting the configuration, enter this
command:
no reset-button reset-config-enable
Pressing the
button between 1 and 5 seconds will still reboot the AP, but pressing it for
more than 5 seconds will not reset its configuration.
The rear surface of the AP340 is used for heat dissipation to reduce the internal temperature.
Consequently, it can become hot, so use caution when handling it.
