I have2 AH-AP-170 units that I purchased as new in the box units. I would like to put one in my back yard to cover about 1/2 acre of nursery stock. How do I get an SSID assigned to the unit and a password?

@bubba did that serial number transfer work out and are you able to see the AP under your free VHM connect? Thank you

If you can email the serial numbers to me at communityhelp@aerohive.com, I can get those freed up for you.

I have found that, thank you. I appreciate it. However I am still not able to connect to my access points. I purchased what appears to be excess legacy access points from EBAY. They were new - in box, and were sold by a company that sells excess equipment. I have a small nursery and just want to be able to cover my area around the greenhouse. I get an error message when I try to access the units "Error 9 The device appears to be in use by another VHM." . I suspect that the original buyer purchased a group of these and they were added to his VHM awaiting installation. How can I get the serial numbers removed from the other VHM?

Thanks very much if you can help!

If you're using HiveManager (formerly NG), this guide reviews how to build a PSK SSID (everyone uses the same password to connect): https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/PSK-SSID-How-To-NG

 

And this guide reviews how to push that configuration out to your AP: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/How-to-push-a-configuration-update-to-a-device-in-HiveManager

 

Is that what you were looking for?
