4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to PSE (power sourcing equipment) such as a power injector if the
HiveAP 28 receives power through PoE, or directly to a network device such as a switch if it receives power
through a power cord.
If the Ethernet cable connects the HiveAP to another device that is indoors, you must install appropriate
lightning protection at the point before it enters the building. Failing to do so might cause damage to the
equipment as well as serious injury or death.
Power Connector
The HiveAP 28 can receive power through an Ethernet cable using PoE or through a power cord. Aerohive
recommends using either PoE or wiring the power cord directly to a 100 – 240-volt AC power source. Only plug the
power cord into an electric outlet when configuring the device before deployment or when testing it in the lab.
To connect the power cord to the HiveAP 28:
1. Align the slot in the power cord plug with the small tab at the top of the three-pin power connector, and slide
the plug firmly over the pins until it is fully seated in the power connector.
2. Slide the cover over the connector and tighten it by turning the cover clockwise.
3. Install a lightning protector between the HiveAP 28 and its power source.
4. When possible, run the cord through a conduit to protect it from the elements. Where the cord is exposed,
allow enough slack in it to create a drip loop. Leaving some slack in the cord lets water run away from the
connections at each end. Use only a weatherproof power cord, such as the cord that ships with the HiveAP 28.
5. Strip the other end of the power cord and wire it directly to a power source, such as a junction box that has a
service disconnect switch that you can use to turn the power on and off. Also, because the HiveAP 28 does not
have short-circuit (over current) protection built into it, it relies on the protection provided by the power
source to which you connect it. Ensure that the protective device, such as a circuit breaker, is not rated greater
than 15A. Furthermore, if you need to install the HiveAP 28 in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit
that is powering it must be provided with ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the
National Electrical Code (NEC).
Note:
To prevent damage to the HiveAP 28 or power injector when using PoE to provide power, connect the
Ethernet cable from the power injector to the HiveAP 28, and connect the injector to a power jack
before applying power.
Note:
When the HiveAP acts as a mesh point and does not use the Ethernet port, cover the Ethernet port with a
connector cap to prevent water intrusion and possible safety hazards.
Note:
When the HiveAP receives power through PoE, cover the power connector with a connector cap to prevent
water intrusion and possible safety hazards.
Note:
The HiveAP 28 must be grounded. Do not operate it unless there is a suitably installed ground
conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are
uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
