P550 using this topic

The AerohiveAP550 features 802,11ac Wave 2 dual 5 Ghz radio, and 4x4:4/3 MU-MIMO . Built-in BLE
provides proximity, indoor location tracking, and other location-based mobile engagement services.
The AP550 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.
The AP550 supports standards-based TxBF (transmit beam-forming). The AP550 supports Bluetooth and
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy, which is Bluetooth 4.0). Although both technologies use the 2.4 GHz
frequency, BLE has a lower power requirement for moving smaller amounts of data, while Bluetooth can
support larger data loads.

For information about connecting your APto the network, best-practices, and troubleshooting, see

"Basic Troubleshooting for New Devices".

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 APwill be deployed to meet regulatory requirements and for optimal
wireless operation. To do this, follow these steps:

For Devices Running HiveManager:

1. Power on the APand allow it to find and connect to HiveManager. Once the APisconnected, it
