Dropped Ceiling Mount
The following steps explain how to mount the AP122 on the rail of a dropped ceiling.
Make sure that you have all the materials and tools necessary, and familiarize yourself wit the
safety and site hazard warnings before you install the device. You may need to drill a small hole in
the adjacent ceiling tile to accommodate the cable. Before you begin, lift the ceiling tiles
adjacent to the location on the rail where you will install the device for better access. Once the
device is installed, you can slide it along the rail to better adjust its position.
Use the following steps to install your device to a dropped-ceiling rail.
1. For a dropped ceiling mount, use the mount tabs and clips on the bottom of the device.
2. Hold the device upside down and slip the mount tabs over the sides of the ceiling rail.
3. Press the device gently against the ceiling rail and rotate it until the mount clips click into
place.
Wall or Non-dropped Ceiling Mount
Use the built-in wall mount slots on the back of the chassis to attach the AP122 to any vertical or
horizontal surface (such as a wall or a drywall ceiling) that supports its weight (1.16 lb, or 0.56 kg),
and to which you can install wall mount screws. To mount the AP122 on a wall or other flat
surface, perform the following steps:
1. Make two marks where you want to mount the device on the wall or surface exactly 2.5" (64
cm) apart.
1. Drill two holes that are slightly smaller in diameter than the mounting screws.
2. Install two wall mount screws (and plastic anchors if necessary). The screw heads must
protrude far enough from the wall so that the chassis will slip over the screw heads, and leave
enough room to access the console connector. If you are connecting the device to cables
from inside the wall, drill an access hole for the cables.
3. Insert the heads of the screws into the large end of the wall mount slots and slide the device
down (or sideways for ceiling mounts) until the screws are seated in the narrow end of the
keyholes.
You can lock the device to the wall or ceiling using a security bracket that can be
ordered as an accessory.
4. To remove the device from the wall or ceiling, slide the chassis up until the screw heads slip
out of the wall mount slots.
5. The AP122 is PoE powered, so you must connect an Ethernet cable directly from the ETH0
port to a PoE-enabled switch or to a PoE injector.
You can also mount these devices to non-standard or recessed dropped ceiling tracks
using brackets designed for 9/16" (1.34 cm) tracks. These brackets can be ordered from
Aerohive (AH- ACC-BKT-80211AC-KIT). Not available in Brazil.

To remove the device, press the mount clips until they disengage from the rail, then rotate the
device and pull it away from the rail. A flat-blade screwdriver will make it easier to access and
press the clips.
Locking the AP
You can secure the AP using a Kensington® lock in the lock slot on the side of the device, or you
can use a security bracket and a crosshead screw or a security screw. Security brackets and
screws can be ordered separately from Aerohive (not available in Brazil).
Aerohive recommends a variety of Kensington locks. For more information, contact your sales
representative.
Connecting the AP to the Network
Follow these steps to connect your AP122 to PoE (power over Ethernet) power and to the network.
1. Connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable from ETH0 on the APto a switch.
2. If the switch provides PoE (power over Ethernet), cabling the APto the switch will power-on
the APin a few seconds. If the switch does not provide PoE, use a PoE injector. For more
information about Aerohive PoE injectors, contact your Aerohive representative.
3. After you power on the AP, it automatically tries to get network settings and contact
HiveManager NG. This process takes about five minutes. When you see the APlisted on the
All Devices page in the Monitor section of the HiveManager NG GUI, the initial setup is
complete and you can begin managing the AP with HiveManager NG.
Hardware Components
You can see the hardware components of the AP122 in the illustration below and read about them in
the sections that follow.

Removing the Device

Status Light
The status light conveys operational states for system power, firmware updates, Ethernet and
wireless interface activity, and major alarms. The AP122 has a rectangular status light bar on the
top corner and down one side of the chassis. The colors of this light bar indicate the following
states of activity:
Dark: There is no power or the status indicator is disabled.
Amber (flashing): This is an alert that indicates that the device is performing a firmware
upgrade. Do not power off the device during this process.
Amber (steady): This is an alert that indicates that the CAPWAP connection has not been
successfully established, or the device is booting or shutting down.
White: The device is powered on, a successful CAPWAP connection has been made, and the
firmware is operating normally. During normal operation, the LED produces a slow blink
consisting of 4 seconds of illumination followed by one minute of darkness. To extend the life of
the status LED, turn it off completely for normal use, and turn it on when needed for
troubleshooting.
To extend the life of the status LED, turn it off completely for normal use, and turn it on when
needed for troubleshooting.
To turn the LEDon or off or change the brightness using the CLI, enter:
system led brightness [ bright | soft | dim | off]
You can adjust the brightness level from bright (the default) to soft to dim, or turn it off completely
in HiveManager NG. Navigate to Configure > Network Policy > Additional
Settings>NetworkService > Management Options. Turn Management Options on and scroll
down to the System Settings section. Use the LED brightness drop-down to select the brightness
level that you want.
When you change the brightness setting here, the new setting will apply to all devices
under this network policy. To change the LED brightness for a single device, establish a
console connection and use the CLI command.
For devices running HiveManager Classic, you can set the LEDs for all APs on your network to blink
or remain steady. Navigate toHome> Device Management Settings > LEDMode.
Console Port
Through the Console port, you can make a serial connection between your management system
and the AP. When you connect to the device using the RJ45 Console port, the management
station from which you connect to the device must have a VT100 emulation program, such as
Tera Term Pro© (a free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve HyperTerminal® (provided with Windows®
operating systems from XP forward). The serial connection settings are: 9600 bits per second, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
The pin-to-signal mapping for the Console port is shown in "Aerohive Device Pin Assignments".

Component Descriptions

You can power the AP122 through the ETH0 port from PSE (power sourcing equipment) that is
compatible with the 802.3af and 802.3at standards. Because there is no on/off switch, these
devices automatically power on when you connect them to power.
Ethernet Port
The AP122 has one RJ45 10/100/1000Base-T/TX Ethernet port (ETH0) that automatically negotiates
half- and full-duplex connections with the connecting device. The port is autosensing and adjusts
to straight-through and crossover standard Cat3, Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 Ethernet cables
automatically. The AP receives PoE 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.
Power sourcing equipment 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 port has
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 PoE injectors as optional
accessories from Aerohive (not available in Brazil):
• AH-ACC-INJ-20W-EU
•AH-ACC-INJ-20W-US
• AH-ACC-INJ-20W-AU
•AH-ACC-INJ-20W-IL

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 HiveManager NG, the status indicator glows steady white.
To prevent 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.
Antennas
The AP122 has four internal single-band antennas. All antennas are omnidirectional and provide
fairly equal coverage in all directions.
Lock Slot
When mounting the AP on a ceiling track or flat surface, you can secure it to the track using a
Kensington® lock in the lock slot or using the security screw and bracket that ships with the
device. See "Locking the AP".
