Important information to read before installing
Important information to read before installing
Plenum installation: The AP can be installed in a plenum. The AP is suitable
for use in environmental air space in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the
National Electrical Code, and Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100 of the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1. It should be installed in a similar
orientation as in a ceiling installation. However, a qualified installer can
determine how to install/secure the AP in a plenum in an appropriate and safe
manner. Plenum-rated cables and attachment hardware must be used.
Country of use: In some regions, you are prompted to select the country of
use during setup. After the country has been set, the AP automatically limits
the available wireless channels, ensuring compliant operation in the selected
country. Entering the incorrect country can result in illegal operation and can
cause harmful interference to other systems.
Safety: Consider the following safety information during installation:
• If your network covers an area served by more than one power distribution
system, ensure that all safety grounds are securely interconnected.
• Network cables can occasionally be subject to hazardous transient
voltages (caused by lightning or disturbances in the electrical power grid).
• Handle exposed metal components of the network with caution.
• The AP is powered on when connected to a PoE power source.
• The AP and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors within
the same building (except for outdoor antennas), including all
PoE-powered network connections, as described by Environment A of the
IEEE 802.3af standard.
Powering the AP
The AP can be powered by:
• A 10/100 or 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled switch. Various PoE-enabled
Warning: Professional installation is required. For indoor installation
only. Before installing or using the AP, consult with a professional installer
trained in RF installation and knowledgeable in local regulations including
building and wiring codes, safety, channel, power, indoor/outdoor
restrictions, and license requirements for the intended country. The end
user is responsible for ensuring that installation and use comply with local
safety and radio regulations.
Cabling: You must use supported Cat 5e (or better) cables, and where
applicable, surge protection, for your region.
switches are available from HP.
• An HP 1-Port Power Injector (J9407B).
If the AP will be powered by a user-supplied PoE power injector,
use only a gigabit-compatible power injector. Although 10/100 PoE-enabled
switches are compatible, PoE injectors designed for 10/100 networks only are
not compatible with the AP.

To remove the AP from the bracket:
1. Detach any locks and remove the retaining screw.
2. While carefully holding the AP, insert a flat screwdriver into the cable
channel between the channel wall and the AP Bracket latch, releasing the
AP from the bracket, while being careful to retain grip on the AP as you
slide it away from the AP Bracket lock tab.
3. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AP.Controllers
The AP can run as a standalone AP in autonomous mode; however, it is
typically used with one of these controller families:
• HP MSM710, MSM720, MSM760, MSM765zl
• HP 10500/7500, HP 830, HP WX5002/WX5004
Note: Both controller families cannot coexist on the same network. HP
10500/7500, HP 830, and HP WX5002/WX5004 Controllers are not
compatible with HP MSM7xx Controllers.
Using controllers
To become operational, the AP must establish a management tunnel with a
controller. The controller manages the AP and provides all configuration
settings.
When power is applied, the AP establishes a connection to the controller
automatically if default settings are used on the AP and the controller, and both
devices are on the same subnet. No further configuration is required.
After the discovery process is complete, and the AP has established a secure
management tunnel to the controller, the Power LED remains on and the
Ethernet and Radio LEDs blink to indicate the presence of traffic.
For more information about using the AP with MSM7xx Controllers, see
Working with controlled APs in the MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide.
For more information about using the AP with HP 10500/7500, HP 830 or
WX5002/WX5004 Controllers, see the HP 830 Switch and HP 10500/7500

This procedure describes how to set a factory-default AP to autonomous
mode, and then perform its initial configuration that enables you to establish a
wireless connection through the AP to the Internet.
In autonomous mode, the AP is managed via its web-based management tool
using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or later or Mozilla Firefox 9.0.1 or later. The
browser must have SSLv3 enabled.
Wireless protection: A factory-default AP that has been switched
to autonomous mode has wireless protection options disabled. HP
recommends that you either follow the procedure in Configure basic wireless
protection on page 7 or configure protection of your choice.
See also Wireless protection in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx Access Points
Configuration Guide.
Caution:
Note: Do not power on the AP until directed.
A. Configure your computer
1. Disconnect your computer LAN port and configure it to use a static IP
address in the range 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254, and a subnet mask
2. Disable any wireless connection on your computer.Connect the cables
and power on the AP
1. Connect the cables:
• If using a PoE switch, use Ethernet cables to connect your
computer and the AP to an unused factory-default PoE switch.
• If using a PoE injector, use Ethernet cables to connect your
computer to the data in port of the PoE injector and the AP to the
data and power out port of the PoE injector.
2. Power on the AP by powering on the PoE switch or injector.
Initially, the AP power LED blinks once every two seconds. Wait
approximately a minute until it begins blinking once per second before
proceeding to the next step.
B. Switch the AP to autonomous mode
Note: A factory-default AP is assumed.
1. In a web browser, enter the address: https://192.168.1.1.
2. A security certificate warning is displayed the first time you connect to the
management tool. This is expected behavior. Select whatever option is
needed in your web browser to continue to the management tool.
3. On the Login page, specify admin for both Username and Password
and then select Login. The AP management tool home page opens.
4. Select Switch to Autonomous Mode and confirm the change. The AP
restarts in autonomous mode.
Note: To avoid a delay after switching modes, clear the ARP (address
resolution protocol) cache on your computer. In Windows for
example, from the Windows Start menu, select Run and enter
arp -d, and then select OK.
C. Log in
1. Wait until the Power LED is on solid.
2. On the Login page, specify admin for both Username and Password

subnet as the network to which the AP connects.
Caution: To ensure compliance, you must select the correct
1. Select Network > DNS, and set the DNS server address. Select Save.
2. Select Network > Ports > Bridge port.
3. Select Static, and then Configure. For IP address set an address that
country. See Country of use on page 2.
5. At the password prompt, HP recommends that you change the default
password and select Save. Passwords must be at least six characters
long and include four different characters.
The management tool is organized with menus and sub-menus. Instructions for
making menu selections, such as “select Wireless > Local mesh” instruct you
to select the Wireless menu and then the Local mesh sub-menu, as follows:

D. Configure basic wireless protection
HP recommends that you configure basic wireless protection. See Wireless
protection in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx Access Points Configuration Guide. To
configure basic WPA protection:
1. Select VSC > HP, and then enable Wireless protection and set it to WPA.
2. Under Mode, select WPA or WPA2, and then under Key source, select
Preshared key and specify a key of at least 20 characters. Select Save.
E. Assigning an IP address to the AP
By default, the AP operates as a DHCP client. This means that if the network
has a DHCP server, the AP automatically receives a new IP address in place of
its default address of 192.168.1.1 upon connecting to the network. Use one of
the following methods to assign an IP address to the AP:
• Preconfigure the DHCP server to assign a specific IP address to the AP.
To do this you must specify the AP Ethernet MAC address and a reserved
IP address on the DHCP server. The AP Ethernet MAC address is printed
on the AP label identified as LAN MAC, and listed on the management tool
Home page as Ethernet base MAC address.
• Let the DHCP server automatically assign an IP address. By default,
the DHCP server assigns an IP address after the AP connects to the
network. After the DHCP server assigns an IP address to the AP, you can
find the IP address of the AP by looking for its Ethernet base MAC address
in the DHCP server log. For example after Step F.4 below, you can go to the
DHCP server log to retrieve the IP address assigned to the AP.
is on the same subnet as the network to which the AP will connect
after installation. Respect any DHCP server-mandated static address
ranges. Also set Mask and Default gateway.
4. Select Save. Connection to the management tool is lost. You can
reconnect to the management tool by specifying the new IP address.
F. Test the wireless network
In this example, the network must have a DHCP server and an Internet
connection. Broadband routers typically include a DHCP server.
1. Disconnect your computer from the PoE switch or injector.
2. Power off the AP by disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the AP.
3. Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the switch or the data in port of
the injector to the network.
4. Reconnect and power on the AP. Use a standard Ethernet cable to reconnect
the AP to the PoE switch or the data and power out port of the injector.
5. Enable the wireless network interface of your computer, and verify that it
is set to obtain an IP address automatically.
6. By default, the AP creates a wireless network named HP in the 5 GHz band
for 802.11n and 802.11a users. Connect your computer to this wireless
network, specifying the preshared key you set in step E.2.
7. Confirm that you can browse the Internet using the wireless network.
G. Before performing additional configuration
Configure your computer LAN port and connect it to the same network as the
AP. Re-launch the AP management tool at https:// where
 is the AP IP address assigned in Section F.
