Statement
Aerohive products that show an FCC identifier on the product label ( FCC
models, AH-AP-110-N-FCC, AH-AP-120-N-FCC, AH-AP-170-N-FCC,
AH-AP-320-N-FCC, AH-AP-330-N-FCC, AH-AP-340-N-FCC ,AH-AP-350-N-FCC)
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 Warning Notices
HiveAP 110, 120, 320, 330, 340, and 350 devices are restricted to indoor use
due to their operation in 5 GHz frequencies, which are shared by mobile
satellite systems and government radar systems. The FCC requires that these
products only be used indoors to reduce the potential for harmful
interference with co-channel 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 these devices can cause interference or damage to each
other. In addition, these devices have a radar detection function that might
interrupt normal operations when they detect a radar signal. To reduce the
risk of interference even further, installing these devices away from windows
is recommended.
HiveAP 170 devices operating within the 5.15-5.25 GHz frequency range are
restricted to indoor environments.
DFS certification for Aerohive products is underway but is not complete at the
time of this writing. Contact Aerohive Technical Support for further
information. After DFS certification is complete, these statements will hold
true: 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.
This equipment complies with radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches) between the radiator
and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
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
HiveAP 170, 320, 330, 340, and 350) can be operated in Canada under the
following restrictions:
This device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
AP170 Warning Statement
Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with IC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of
20 cm between the radiator and your body.
The HiveAP 170 has been designed to operate with an antenna having a Dipole
maximum gain of 5 dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per
regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate
using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the
transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to
other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (E.I.R.P) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter (IC: 7774A-HIVEAP170 / Model: HiveAP 170) has been
approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below
with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each
antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain
greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.
Caution: The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to
reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite
systems.
High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority)
of 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and these radars could cause
interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
The band from 5600-5650 MHz will be disabled by the proprietary software
during the manufacturing and which cannot be changed by the end user.
Note: Le terme “IC” précédant le numéro de certification radio signifie que
les spécifications techniques de l’Industrie du Canada ont été respectées.
