Connecting the AP245X
Follow these steps to connect your AP245X to power and to the network.
1. Connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable from ETH0 on the AP
to a switch that provides PoE
power, or use a PoE injector (see "Ethernet Ports").
2. After the AP receives power, it automatically tries to get network settings and contact your
HiveManager management platform. This process takes about five minutes. When you see
the AP
listed on the
Devices
page in the
Monitor
section of the management GUI, the initial
setup is complete and you can begin managing the AP.
Antenna Alignment
For optimum reception, align the antennas as shown below, depending on how the device is
mounted.
Leave at least 12" (30 cm) of space around the antennas that is clear of any large metal
objects. Metal can distort antenna reception.
