Chapter 3 The AP320 Platform
The Aerohive AP320 Access Point is a high-performance and highly reliable 802.11n wireless access point. The
AP320 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 to
the available power in different environments. Smart PoE supports the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards.
This chapter covers the following topics relating to the AP320:
•
"AP320 Product Overview" on page 38
• "Ethernet and Console Ports" on page 40
• "Status LEDs" on page 40
• "Antennas" on page 41
• "Mounting the AP320" on page 41
• "Ceiling Mount" on page 42
• "Surface Mount" on page 43
• "Device, Power, and Environmental Specifications" on page 45
The AP 320 supports the same 802.11n features as the AP 340. Of particular interest is the support of
MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output). For more information, see "MIMO" on page 26 .
