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 co­channel 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.

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.

• The maximum permitted antenna gain for operation in 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) must comply with
the EIRP limit.

• 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).

• High-power radar systems are allocated as primary users for the

5.25-5.35 GHz bands (channels 52-64) and 5.65-5.85 GHz bands
(channels 132-165) with priority to use them. These systems can
cause interference to and possibly damage HiveAP devices.

WEEE and RoHS Compliance

Aerohive Networks products have been reviewed, analyzed and found
to be in compliance with the European Union (EU) directive for Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and with the EU directive
for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS).

WEEE Collection Programs in the U.S. and EU

At end of life, customers are requested to contact Aerohive to make
arrangements for WEEE collection of their products. The Aerohive
collection center in the U.S. is at the following address:

Aerohive Inc.

– In Norway, the 2.4 GHz band cannot be used outdoors within a

20-km radius of the center of Ny-Ålesund.

– In Russia, the 2.4 GHz band is for indoor use only.

• Because radar systems use some bands in the 5 GHz spectrum,
WLAN devices operating in these bands must use DFS (Dynamic
Frequency Selection) to detect radar activity and switch channels
automatically to avoid interfering with radar operations. For the
ETSI region, the HiveAP 300 series is certified for the latest ETSI
EN 301 893 v1.5.1 DFS requirements and can use DFS channels 52
to 140 (5.26 GHz to 5.32 GHz, and 5.5 GHz to 5.7 GHz). To comply
with ETSI regulations when deploying a HiveAP 300 series device

.

outdoors, set the 5 GHz radio to operate on the DFS channels and
enable DFS. When deploying a HiveAP 300 series device indoors,
then the 5 GHz radio can also use channels 36 to 48 as well as the
DFS channels. The maximum transmit power for channels from 36
to 48 is 17 dBm in the ETSI region. Because this maximum is
enforced by HiveOS, the HiveAP automatically limits the power to
17 dBm even if the setting is greater than that.

• Because the frequency ranges 5.25 to 5.35 and 5.47 to 5.725 are
affected by DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection), HiveAP 20 and 28
models block channels 52 to 64 and 100 to 140.

• The availability of some specific channels and/or operational
frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware
programmed at installation to match the intended destination.
The firmware setting is accessible by the end user. Some national
restrictions are noted below:

– In Italy and Luxembourg, you must apply for a license from the

national spectrum authority to operate a HiveAP outside your
own premises and for public use or service in the 5.15 to 5.35
GHz band (channels 36 to 64) and 5.47 to 5.725 GHz band
(channels 100 to 140).

– In Russia, you can only use the 5.15 to 5.35 GHz band at 100

mW (20 dBm) indoors, in closed industrial and warehouse
areas, and on board aircraft for local network and crew
communications during all stages of a flight and for public
WLAN access only at an altitude of 3000 meters or higher. You
can only use the 5.65 to 5.825 GHz band with 100 mW EIRP on
board aircraft at an altitude of 3000 meters or higher.

Countries of Operation and Conditions
of Use in the European Community

HiveAPs are intended to be operated in all countries of the European
Community. Requirements for indoor vs. outdoor operation, license
requirements and allowed channels of operation apply in some
countries as described below.

• Before operating a HiveAP, the admin or installer must properly
enter the current country code as described in Aerohive product
documentation.

Note to U.S. model owners: To comply with U.S. FCC regulations,
the country selection function has been completely removed from
all U.S. models. The above function is for non-U.S. models only.

• HiveAPs automatically limit the allowable channels determined by
the current country of operation. Incorrectly entering the country
of operation might result in illegal operation and cause harmful
interference to other systems. The admin is obligated to ensure
HiveAPs are operating according to the channel limitations,
indoor/outdoor restrictions and license requirements for each
European Community country as described in this section.

• HiveAPs can be operated indoors or outdoors in all countries of the
European Community using the 2.4 GHz band: Channels 1-13,
except where noted below:

– In Italy and Luxembourg, you must apply for a license from the

national spectrum authority to operate a HiveAP outside your
own premises and for public use or service.

– In Belgium outdoor operation is only permitted using the 2.46

to 2.4835 GHz band: Channel 13.

– In France outdoor operation is limited to the 2.454 to 2.4835

GHz band (channels 8 to 13) at a maximum of 10 mW EIRP
(effective isotropic radiated power).
