The HiveManager Platform

The HiveManager Network Management System provides centralized configuration, monitoring, and reporting
for multiple HiveAPs. The following are a few of the many benefits that a HiveManager offers:
•

Simplified installations and management of up to 500 HiveAPs

•

Profile-based configurations that simplify the deployment of large numbers of HiveAPs

•

Scheduled firmware upgrades on HiveAPs by location

•

Exportation of detailed information on HiveAPs for reporting

This chapter covers the following topics related to the HiveManager platform:
•

"Product Overview" on page 76

•

"Ethernet and Console Ports" on page 77

•

"Status LEDs" on page 78

•

"Rack Mounting the HiveManager" on page 79
