HIVEAP 340 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The HiveAP 340 is a multi-channel wireless access point. It is compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz) and IEEE
802.11a/n (5 GHz) standards and supports a variety of Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) security protocols, including WPA
(Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2.
You can see the hardware components on the HiveAP in Figure 1. Each component is described in Table 1.

Component Description
Status LEDs The status LEDs convey operational states for system power, firmware,
Ethernet interfaces, and radios. For details, see "Status LEDs" on page 54.
Device Lock Slot You can physically secure the HiveAP by attaching a lock and cable (such
as a Kensington
®
notebook lock) to the device lock slot or by using the
lock adapter that is included in the mounting kit and a padlock. For more
information, see "Locking the HiveAP 340" on page 59.
802.11a/b/g/n RP-SMA Connectors 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 longer antennas, which support 2.4 GHz
frequencies (for IEEE 802.11b/g/n), to the connectors on the side panel
with the Ethernet ports. Connect the shorter antennas, which support 5
GHz frequencies (for IEEE 802.11a/n), to the connectors on the side panel
with the device lock slot. For details, see "Antennas" on page 54.
