Ethernet Ports
The AP245X has two RJ45 10/100/1000Base-T/TX Ethernet ports (ETH0 and ETH1) that automatically
negotiate half- and full-duplex connections with the connecting device. The ports are
autosensing and adjust to straight-through and crossover standard Cat3, Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6
Ethernet cables automatically. The APs receive power through an Ethernet connection to the
ETH0 port from
PSE
(power sourcing equipment) that is compatible with the 802.3at and 802.3af
standards.
PSE can be embedded in a switch or router, or it can come from purpose-built devices that inject
power into the Ethernet line en route to the AP. Because the PoE ports have autosensing
capabilities, the wiring termination in the Ethernet cable can be either straight-through or
crossover.
You can purchase your own PoE injector or purchase the following 20 W and 30 W PoE injectors as
optional accessories from Aerohive (not available in Brazil):
• AH-ACC-INJ-20W-EU
• AH-ACC-INJ-30W-EU
• AH-ACC-INJ-20W-US
• AH-ACC-INJ-30W-US
• AH-ACC-INJ-20W-AU
• AH-ACC-INJ-30W-AU
• AH-ACC-INJ-20W-IL
• AH-ACC-INJ-30W-IL
Reset Button
Use the Reset button to reset the device or restore the factory default settings. Insert a paper clip
or similar tool into the Reset pinhole and press the button. To reboot the device, press the button
for 5 seconds. To return the configuration to the factory default settings, press it for at least 10
seconds. After releasing the button, the indicator light goes dark, and then glows steady amber
while the firmware loads and the system performs a self-test. After the software finishes loading
and the AP has connected to the HiveManager management system, the status indicator glows
steady white.
To disable the reset button from resetting the configuration, enter this command:
no reset-
button reset-config-enable
. When this command is enabled, pressing the button for 5
seconds will still reboot the AP, but pressing it for more than 10 seconds will not reset its
configuration.

The AP245X has one USB port that is protected by a port cover. To access the port, remove the
screw that secures the cover in place. For extra protection, keep the cover in place when the
port is not in use.
