AAerohive QuickStart for the BR200-LTE-VZ RouterThe Aerohive BR200-LTE-VZ router offers Wi-Fi connectivity with an embedded 3G/4G modem for primary or secondary WAN access through Verizon. The BR200-LTE-VZ router provides LAN and WLAN connectivity and PoE. This router supports a standard 2FF SIM card which your dealer might have pre-installed, or which you can order from Verizon and install yourself. Once the card is installed, contact Verizon to activate your account. After you put your BR200-LTE-VZ router online for the rst time, it automatically connects to the Aerohive HiveManager management system. You can then manage your router using HiveManager. For more information about the connection process, see the release notes and other Aerohive product documentation at www.aerohive.com/techdocs.The BR200-LTE-VZ router shipping carton contains the following items:• BR200-LTE-VZ router• AC power adapter and power cord• Ethernet cable• Two external antennasInstalling the SIM CardIf you need to install a SIM card, follow the steps shown in these illustrations (antennas are not shown).Provisioning the BR200-LTE-VZ RouterBR200-LTE-VZ routers can be provisioned in three ways:Pre-provisioned: A network policy is loaded on the router before it is delivered to you. Auto-provisioned: After you power on the router, it establishes a connection to HiveManager, which automatically pushes a conguration and optionally upgrades the HiveOS image on the device. The router then reboots and re-establishes its connection with HiveManager. Manually-provisioned: After the router connects to HiveManager, you or a HiveManager administrator manually uploads a network policy from HiveManager to the router.1 2Installing your RouterFollow these steps to install your router:1 Install the external antennas.2 Connect the power adapter to the router and plug it into a power outlet. The Status LED stays amber as the router boots up, automatically connects to the Internet, and begins the HiveManager discovery process. The length of time this takes varies depending on how the router has been provisioned:• Pre-provisioned devices require just a few minutes to establish a HiveManager connection. When the router has completed this cycle, the Status LED glows solid white.• Auto-provisioned devices require about 10 minutes to establish a HiveManager connection and receive a network policy. (This might take longer if a software upgrade is involved.) After this process is complete, the Status LED glows solid white.3 Connect wireless and wired devices to your router.Wiredor WifiCellularStrengthCellularWANLEDs (on front panel)SIM card slotPort panelLTE external antennasStatus LEDRemove the screws and the slot cover.Reinstall the cover plate with the screws.Insert the SIM card with the angled corner positioned as shown.
