Chapter 3 The HiveAP 28 Outdoor Platform

Aerohive
Strand Mount
The HiveAP 28 outdoor platform can also be mounted on a cable or strand of wire as shown in
. When
mounted on a wire strand, use 90-degree N type adapters (not included) to orient the antennas vertically. If you do
not use the adapters and orient the antennas horizontally, the area covered will be far less.
Figure 6
Clamping the HiveAP 28 to a Wire Strand
To mount the HiveAP 28 on a wire or strand, you need a wrench and two 1/4-20 bolts, split washers, strand clamps,
and 90-degree type N adapters. In the following instructions, you use only the 2.4 GHz antennas.
1. Position the HiveAP 28 so that its long side (with three holes at each end) is underneath a cable or wire strand
running lengthwise along the upper side of the chassis (for the proper orientation, see the inset in
).
2. Place the strand clamp over the wire and use the 1/4-20 bolt and split washer to secure the strand between the
clamp and chassis.
3. Attach the 90-degree type N adapters to the two 2.4 GHz antenna connectors and then attach the antennas to
the adapters so that the antennas face downward. For details, see
"Attaching Antennas" on page 42
.
Note:
Repeat the preceding steps to fasten the other end of the HiveAP 28 to the cable or wire strand.

Note: For clarity, only one bolt, washer,
and strand clamp are shown in the
illustration on the left. You also need to use
a second set of these items to finish
clamping the HiveAP to a wire strand.
Position the HiveAP 28 so that its
long side is directly beneath a cable
or wire strand.
Place the strand clamps over the
wire, and bolt the clamps tightly to
the chassis around the strand.
