The Aerohive AP150W is a compact, lightweight AP that can be mounted directly into a wall plate, or
on a stand on a desktop. The AP150W features two Wi-Fi radios; a fixed 5 GHz 802.11ac Wave 2 radio
and a software-selectable 802.11n 2.4 GHz or 802.11ac 5 GHz radio. Software-selectable radio allows IT
managers to enable 802.11ac performance on both radios for the best coverage and capacity, up to
2.6 Gbps. 3x3:3 SU-MIMO provides 1300 Mbps data rates and 2x2 MU-MIMO provides 867 Mbps data
rates. Built-in
engagement services.
BLE provides proximity, indoor location tracking, and other location-based mobile
The AP150W provides three wired Gigabit Ethernet ports. One of these ports provides PoE (Power over
Ethernet) for applications such as VoIP phones or IPcameras. For wall outlets with more than one cable
or connector, a passive pass-through port on the back of the device allows you to connect the AP150W
without disabling the other cable or connector.
The AP150W has the power to support enterprise-grade features, including built-in application visibility
and control, RADIUS authentication, DHCP, captive web portals, location services and spectrum
analysis.
For more information about Aerohive APs in general, see "Introduction to Aerohive APs"
For information about connecting your APto the network, best-practices, and troubleshooting, see
"Basic Troubleshooting for New Devices".
For hardware compliance statements, see "Regulatory Compliance Statements".
Important! Changing the Country Code
If your access point is configured for the World Regulatory Domain, it is important to set the country
code to the country in which the APwill be deployed to meet regulatory requirements and for optimal
wireless operation. To do this, follow these steps:
The country code selection is for World models only and is not available to FCC, CAN, and
other country-specific models. Per FCC regulations, all Wi-Fi products marketed in the
United States must be set to U.S. channels only.

Safety Guidelines
Page 2 of 1
The information in this section applies to AP150W devices.
The following safety icons are used in these guidelines to identify the type of precaution:
This icon indicates a general caution. Failure to comply with a caution
notification can result in damage to equipment.
This icon indicates an electrical caution. Failure to comply with an electrical
notification can result in serious injury or death, and extensive damage to
equipment.
The following table lists the safety precautions you should follow when installing your
AP150W devices.
Aerohive devices must be installed by a professional installer who is certified to
install these types of devices and to ensure that they are properly grounded
and meet applicable local and national electrical codes.
These devices are intended for indoor use only.
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient
temperature might exceed the recommended ranges.
Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not be
adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without
adequate circulation. Be sure that the room where you install your device has
adequate air circulation.
Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical
circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly
handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow
ESD-prevention procedures when handling electronic components.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check the
circuit.
To meet radiation exposure requirements in all countries, these devices should
be installed at a minimum distance of 9.05" (23 cm) from people and animals.
See individual country warning for country-specific distances, if required.
All Ethernet and RS232 (console) ports and the cables attached to them are
designed for intra-building connection to other equipment. Do not connect
these ports directly to wiring that exits the building where this appliance is
located
