@Minion-Queen Hello! No, I'm not from Aerohive.

@thecreativeone91 On a more productive and constructive note, if you drop me an email nick.lowe [at] gmail.com, I'll help you get these working.

You're confusing the control plane (controller) with the management plane (NMS) . They are entirely separate functional roles.

You can fully configure Aerohive's APs via CLI: Console, SSH or Telnet. This has never been removed.
What was removed early on was the ability to perform a simple configuration through graphical means in a Web browser.
HiveUI only covered a limited subset of the features the APs offer.

HiveManager is Aerohive's NMS that is used to configure and monitor the APs. You pay for that on an ongoing basis.

One AP doesn't act as a controller, is is implemented via distributed protocols.

The datasheet is, as far as I can see, accurate.

@thecreativeone91 Oh come on, you've just trawled around and found an obsolete document from many years ago, it even has Aerohive's old logo. The data sheets for the AP110s and AP120s were actually updated a good while back. The one for the AP120 is here: http://www.aerohive.com/pdfs/Aerohive-Datasheet-AP120.pdf
