Aerohive AP330 and AP350

The AP330 and AP350 are 802.11n wireless access points designed for greater throughput and range, with the added capability of being configured as routers. They provide dual concurrent 802.11b/g/n and

802.11a/n radios for 3x3 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna configurations and three spatial streams. When you enable 802.11n high-throughput options such as wide-channel mode (40-MHz channels), A-MPDU and A-MSDU packet aggregation, short guard interval, and MCS23 data rates, they can provide a PHY data rate up to 450 Mbps per radio. The AP330 has internal antennas, and the AP350 has detachable external antennas. They both have dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports for link aggregation or link redundancy. Their systems can accept power from either an 802.3af or 802.3at standard PoE (Power over Ethernet) power injector or from an AC/DC power adapter connected to a 100-240 VAC input power source.

Ethernet and wireless interface activity, and major alarms. For details, see "Status

Indicator" on page 14.

You can connect up to six detachable single-band antennas to the male

802.11a/b/g/n RP-SMA (reverse polarity-subminiature version A) connectors. Connect the antennas that have white ribbed rings and are labelled 2.4 GHz to the connectors that are labelled knurled rings and are labelled and are encircled by a gray line. For details, see "Antennas" on page 14.

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 Windows XP). The following are the serial connection settings: bits per second: 9600, data bits: 8, parity: none, stop bits: 1, flow control: none. For details, see "Ethernet

and Console Ports" on page 10.
