2 Important information to read before installing Package contents The AP, AP Bracket, Padlock Bracket, two sets of AP Bracket T-bar clips with screws, two mounting screws with wall anchors, retention screw (4-40x1/4”), Adapter Bracket, and documentation. Ports • Ethernet port: Auto-sensing 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet port with RJ-45 connector. The port supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) 802.3af and 802.3at. • Console port: Standard console (serial) port with RJ-45 connector. See Console Ports in the HP 5xx Access Point Configuration Guide, available online. There is no need to use the Console port for initial configuration. Caution: Never connect the Console port to an Ethernet switch or PoE power source. This can damage the AP. Connect it only to other serial ports using an RJ-45 to Serial Port adapter. Radios and antennas The AP features two radios: A 5 GHz 802.11n/a/ac on Radio 1 and a 2.4/5 GHz 802.11n/a/b/g on Radio 2. For maximum performance, the AP supports 3x3 MIMO three-stream 802.11n and contains two 3-element, dual-band, MIMO antennas. Reset button The Reset button is accessible via a hole on the bottom of the AP. To reset the AP, insert a paper clip into the Reset button hole, and press and quickly release the button. To reset the AP to factory defaults, press and hold the button until the status LEDs blink three times, and then release. Important information to read before installing 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. 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 switches are available from HP. • An HP 1-Port Power Injector (J9407B). Caution: 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.

3 Installation Installation The AP can be mounted on a wall, a wall-mounted electrical box, or a suspended ceiling. The AP Bracket is mounted first and then the AP is attached to the bracket. The AP Bracket is two-sided: The AP is installed on the side with the UP arrow. The other side with the T-bar clip screw holes faces the wall or T-bar. Mounting directly on a wall 1. Hold the AP bracket with the UP arrow pointing up against the wall where you want to install it. Mark the location of the screw holes (5) and the cutout area (6). 2. Drill two holes for the wall anchors, typically 4.7 mm (3/16 inch) in diameter. 3. If necessary, drill a hole for the Ethernet cable in the marked cutout area of the AP Bracket. Alternatively, you can feed the Ethernet cable from above and through the AP cable channel. 4. Insert the anchors and tap them flush with the wall surface. 5. Pull the Ethernet cable through the hole in the wall and the AP Bracket. 6. Use the mounting screws to attach the AP Bracket to the wall. Proceed to Attach the AP on page 4. Mounting on an electrical box 1. Disconnect power and take any other needed security precautions. 2. Remove the electrical box cover and any contents. 3. Pull the Ethernet cable down into the box and through the hole in the AP Bracket. 4. Hold the AP Bracket against the box orienting the UP arrow, and attach the AP Bracket to the box using the countersunk screws. Proceed to Attach the AP on page 4. Mounting on a suspended ceiling The AP can be mounted on a suspended ceiling using T-bar clips. Two sets of T-bar clips are provided, a 12.5 mm set for recessed tiles and a 4.5 mm set for flush-mount tiles. 1. Slide one of the T-bar clips into the AP Bracket T-bar slot. Attach it using two self-tapping screws. Select the screw holes marked according to the width of your T-bar: 9/16 in, 15/16 in, or 1.5 in. (The other T-bar clip attaches to the AP Bracket from above the false ceiling, after the bracket is in place on the T-bar.) ➅ ➀ ➁ ➂ ➀ ➀ AP Bracket (AP side left, wall/ ceiling side right, partial view) 1: Adapter Bracket mounting holes 2: AP Bracket latch 3: Electrical box mounting holes 4: AP retention tabs 5: Drywall mounting holes 6: Cutout area 7: AP Bracket lock tab 8: T-bar clip screw holes ➃ ➂ ➄ ➃ ➃ ➃ ➆ ➇ ➄ ➄ ➄ ➀ ➅ ➇ ➇ ➇ ➁ ➁ T-bar clips for ceiling mount 1: AP Bracket 2: Recessed tile 12.5 mm T-bar clip ➀ ➀ ➂ ➃ ➃ ➃ ➃ ➂ 3: Flat tile 4.5 mm T-bar clip 4: AP Bracket T-bar slot

4 Installation Warning: Areas above false ceilings can contain dangerous electrical cabling, gas pipes, and other hazards. Make whatever safety arrangements are needed to ensure that you can work safely above the false ceiling. HP recommends that you use a non-conductive step ladder such as one made of fiberglass. 2. Position yourself at shoulder-height above the ceiling so that you can attach the second T-bar clip. Remove/relocate two ceiling tiles, one on each side of the T-bar on which you are installing the AP Bracket. 3. Carrying a screw driver, the AP Bracket with T-bar clip attached, and the other T-bar clip and two screws, position yourself approximately 60 cm (2 feet) above the T-bar on which you are installing the AP Bracket. 4. Attach the AP Bracket onto the T-bar, slide the other T-bar clip into the AP Bracket T-bar clip slot, and then use screws to attach it such that both T-bar clips firmly grip the T-bar. 5. Tighten all four T-bar clip screws fully and verify that the AP Bracket is firmly anchored to the T-bar from both sides. 6. Re-install the ceiling tile through which you will pass the Ethernet cable. 7. Using the hole in the AP Bracket as a guide, drill or cut a hole in the ceiling tile large enough to pass the Ethernet connector through. Alternatively, you can run a cable outside of the ceiling tile and through the AP cable channel. 8. Slide the ceiling tile to the side. Feed the Ethernet cable down from above and through the hole in the tile and through the hole in the AP Bracket. Pull through an extra 60 cm (2 feet) of cable. Attach the AP 1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the AP. 2. Hold the bottom of the AP against the AP Bracket, aligning the AP tab slots with the AP retention tabs on the AP Bracket. Pull back any Ethernet cable slack at the same time. 3. While firmly holding the AP against the AP Bracket, slide the AP toward the AP Bracket lock tab so that the AP snaps onto the bracket. Do not let go of the AP until you confirm that it is firmly in place. Secure the AP HP strongly recommends that as soon as the AP is installed, you install the retention screw that anchors the AP Bracket to the AP (callout 2 below). Optionally, attach a cable lock in its hole or Insert the tab of the supplied AP Padlock Bracket into the cable lock hole, and then align the AP Padlock Bracket hole with the AP Bracket lock hole and install a user-supplied padlock.

5 Installation Removing 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 20G Module Access Controller Module Basic Configuration Guide, the H3C WX Series Access Controller Module Configuration Guide, or the HP Unified Wireless: Migrating from an MSM Deployment.
