Aerohive HiveAP Compliance Information
Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement
Aerohive products that show an FCC identifier on the product label
(FCC ID: WBV-<model_name>) comply with part 15 of the FCC Rules
when operating under the following restrictions: (1) they do not cause
harmful interference, and (2) they must accept any RF interference
received, including interference that might cause an unwanted impact
on their operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
In compliance with FCC Part 15 regulations, the HiveAP automatically
discontinues transmission if there is no valid information to transmit or
if there is an operational failure.
Important: FCC Regulatory Warnings Notice
This equipment is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in 5 GHz
frequencies, which are shared by mobile satellite systems and
government radar systems. The FCC requires that this product only be
used indoors to reduce the potential for harmful interference with co-
channel radar that might be operating in the 5.25-5.35 or 5.47-5.725
GHz frequency ranges in the same area. The conflicting activity of
radar stations and this device can cause interference or damage to each
other. In addition, this device has a radar detection function that might
interrupt normal operations when it detects a radar signal.
To reduce the risk of interference even further, installing this device
away from windows is recommended.
DFS certification for Aerohive products is underway but is not complete
at the time of this writing (1/2011). Contact Aerohive Technical Support
for further information. After DFS certification is complete, these
statements will hold true: This equipment complies with the FCC DFS
(Dynamic Frequency Selection) rules documented in FCC 06-96 and KDB
443999. The 5 GHz radio uses channels 36 to 48 (5.180 to 5.240 GHz)
and channels 149 to 165 (5.725 to 5.825 GHz), as well as channels
within the DFS operating frequency ranges: 52 to 64 (5.25 to 5.35 GHz),
100 to 116 (5.47 to 5.59 GHz), and 132 to 140 (5.66 to 5.725 GHz). The
frequency range 5.6 - 5.65 GHz is excluded from use. The maximum
transmit power for channels from 36 to 48 is 15 dBm in the FCC region.
Because this maximum is enforced by HiveOS, the HiveAP automatically
limits the power to 15 dBm even if the setting is greater than that.
The FCC region code is set in the device during the manufacturing
process, the option to set it to any region other than FCC is disabled,
and the country code selection function has been completely removed
from all U.S. models. It is impossible for the end user to change the
region to anything other than FCC.
Only attach antennas that are certified for use with this device.
Replacing antennas with unauthorized, high-gain antennas greatly
increases the risk of interference and invalidates the FCC certification.
The use of any devices not approved by the FCC is illegal.
Industry Canada
Note: The term "IC" before the radio certification number signifies that
Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
Products that show an Industry Canada identifier on the product label
(IC: 7774A-<model_name>) can be operated in Canada under the
following restrictions:
• The device must not cause interference and must accept any
interference, including that which might cause an unwanted
impact on the operation of the device.
• To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain must be chosen so that the EIRP (equivalent
isotropically radiated power) is not more than that permitted for
successful communication.
• The use of the Unlicensed National Informational Infrastructure
(UNII) band UNII-1 (5.15-5.25 GHz; channels 36-48) must be
limited to indoor deployments to reduce the potential for harmful
interference with co-channel mobile satellite systems.
• To meet Industry Canada requirements, the UNII-2 band (5.25-5.35
GHz; channels 52-64) and UNII-2 Extended band (5.47-5.725 GHz;
channels 100-116, 132-140) are disabled.
• The maximum permitted antenna gain for operation in the UNII-3
band (5.725-5.825 GHz; channels 149-165) must comply with EIRP
limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point
operation as stated in the Industry Canada Radio Standards
Specification RSS-210, section A9.2(3).
Class B
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the
interference-causing equipment standard entitled "Digital
Apparatus," ICES-003 of Industry Canada.
Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits
radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B
prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur: "Appareils
Numériques," NMB-003 édictée par l'Industrie.
Important: Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and
operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches)
between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. For more information about RF exposure limits, visit
