Description Status light behavior The AP is starting up. Power light blinks every two seconds. The AP is looking for an IP address, or building the list of VLANs on which to perform controller discovery. The management tool is available until discovery occurs. Power light blinks once per second. The AP has obtained an IP address and is attempting to discover a controller. Power, Ethernet, and Radio, lights blink in sequence from left to right. The AP has found a controller and is attempting to establish a secure management tunnel with it. Power light is on. Ethernet and Radio lights blink alternately. The AP has received a discovery reply from two or more controllers with the same priority setting. The AP is unable to connect with either controller until the conflict is resolved. Power and Ethernet lights blink alternately and quickly. Radio lights are off. The AP is attempting to establish a local mesh link to a master node. Power and Radio lights blink slowly. The AP is attempting to establish wired connectivity. Power and Ethernet lights blink slowly. Once the discovery process is complete, and the AP has established a secure management tunnel to a controller, the Power light remains on and the Ethernet and Radio lights blink to indicate the presence of traffic. Ports • Ethernet port: Auto-sensing 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector. The port supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af. • Console port: Standard console (serial) port with an RJ-45 connector. For details, see Console Ports in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx APs Configuration Guide. There is no need to use the Console port for initial configuration. WARNING! Never connect the Console port to an Ethernet switch or PoE power source. This may damage the AP. Connect it only to other serial ports via an RJ-45 to serial port adapter. Radio and antenna The MSM430, MSM460, and MSM466 each feature two radios, providing 802.11n/a on Radio 1 and 802.11n/a/b/g on Radio 2. For maximum performance, the MSM460 and MSM466 both support 3x3 MIMO three-spatial-stream 802.11n. The MSM430 supports 3x3 MIMO two-spatial-stream 802.11n. The MSM430 and the MSM460 each contain two 3-element, dual-band, MIMO antennas. The MSM466 includes no integrated antennas. It provides three antenna connectors for each radio, color-coded red, green, and blue. When connecting the antenna cables, be sure to respect the color-coding.

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 and remove the AP. 3. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AP. Using pre-installed brackets (optional) If you have other AP brackets installed for HP devices such as the MSM320, MSM335, and MSM422 APs, you can attach the supplied Adapter Bracket between the existing bracket and the supplied AP Bracket using the existing screw holes. In some cases, for example with the MSM335 and the MSM422, you must discard the old bracket, and attach the Adapter Bracket, using the same screw holes. 1. Attach the Adapter Bracket to the AP Bracket via the four raised screw holes on the Adapter Bracket and the four outermost screw holes on the four corners of the AP Bracket. Four counter-sunk machine screws are provided. 2. Attach the AP to the AP Bracket as already described. Openings in the center of the Adapter Bracket that align with similar openings in the AP Bracket can be used for running an Ethernet cable. NOTE: The AP can be directly attached to an MSM410 bracket in place of the AP Bracket. However you must provide your own mechanism to ensure that the AP remains firmly anchored to the ceiling. This is not an issue when mounting the AP vertically on a wall. Connecting the antennas (MSM466 only) 13

The AP can be powered by: • A 10/100 or 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled switch. PoE-enabled switches are available from HP. • An HP 1-Port Power Injector (J9407A). CAUTION: If the AP will be powered by a user-supplied PoE power injector, use only a gigabit-compatible power injector. PoE injectors designed only for 10/100 networks are NOT compatible with the AP. 14 Installation

About controlled mode and autonomous mode The AP can operate in one of two modes: controlled (the default) or autonomous. Switching modes resets all configuration settings to factory defaults. • Controlled mode: To become operational, the AP must establish a management tunnel with an MSM7xx Controller. The controller manages the AP and provides all configuration settings. Discovery of the controller is automatic if default settings are used on the AP and the controller, and both devices are on the same subnet. See Working with controlled APs in the MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide. • Autonomous mode: After being switched to autonomous mode, the AP operates as a stand-alone AP. You configure and manage an autonomous AP by using its Web-based management tool as described in “Initial configuration (autonomous mode)” (page 15). Initial configuration (autonomous mode) This procedure describes how to switch 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 as described in this section. This requires at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 8+ or Mozilla Firefox 3+. For controlled mode configuration, see Working with controlled APs in the MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide. CAUTION: Wireless protection: A factory-default AP that has been switched to autonomous mode has wireless protection options disabled. It is recommended that after initial configuration, you enable a wireless security option to properly safeguard the wireless network from intruders. See Wireless protection in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx APs Configuration Guide. NOTE: Do not power-on the AP until directed. Step 1: 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 of 255.255.255.0. Set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1, and DNS server to 192.168.1.1. 2. Disable any wireless connection on your computer. Step 2: 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 on the PoE injector and the AP to the data and power-out port on the PoE injector. 2. Power on the AP by powering on the PoE switch or injector. 3. Initially, the AP power light will blink once every two seconds. Wait approximately one minute until it begins blinking once per second before proceeding to the next step. Step 3: Switch the AP to autonomous mode NOTE: A factory-default AP is assumed. About controlled mode and autonomous mode 15

2. A security certificate warning is displayed the first time you connect to the management tool. This is normal. 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 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" (without the quotes). Select OK. Step 4: Log in 1. Wait until the Power light stops blinking and remains on. 2. On the Login page, specify admin for both Username and Password, and then select Login. 3. Click through the prompts for License and Registration. 4. In some regions, a Country prompt appears. Select the country in which the AP will operate. The correct country must be selected. See “Country of use” (page 9). 5. At the password prompt it is recommended that you change the default password and select Save. New 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: Main menu Sub-menu Step 5: Configure basic wireless protection It is recommended that you at least configure basic wireless protection. See Wireless protection in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx APs 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, then under Key source, select Preshared key and specify a key of at least 20 characters. Select Save. Step 6: Assign 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 will automatically receive 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: • Pre-configure the DHCP server to assign a specific IP address to the AP. To do this you need to 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 Ethernet Base 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 will assign an IP address once the AP connects to the network. Once the DHCP server has assigned an IP address to the AP, you can then find the IP address of the AP by looking for its Ethernet 16 Initially Configuring (Autonomous mode)

go to the DHCP server log to retrieve the IP address assigned to the AP. • Assign a static IP address to the AP. The address must be on the same subnet as the network to which the AP will connect. 1. Select Network > DNS, and set the DNS server address. Select Save. 2. Select Network > Ports > Bridge port. 3. Select Static and then Configure. Configure settings as follows: • IP address: Set an address that is on the same subnet as the network to which the AP will connect once installed. Respect any DHCP server-mandated static address ranges. • Mask: Set the corresponding mask for the IP address. • Default gateway: Set the IP address of the gateway on the network. 4. Select Save. Connection to the management tool is lost. Step 7: Test the wireless network For the purposes of 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 on 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 earlier in “Step 5: Configure basic wireless protection” (page 16). 7. Confirm that you can browse the Internet using the wireless network. Step 8: Perform 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 from “Step 6: Assign an IP address to the AP” (page 16). To enable access to other resources By default, the AP only permits traffic that is addressed to the default gateway on the network (which enables you to connect to the Internet). To enable access to other resources: 1. Select VSC > Profiles and then select the HP profile. 2. On the Add/Edit Virtual Service Community page clear the Wireless security filters checkbox. 3. Select Save. Initial configuration (autonomous mode) 17
