Ethernet port
The Ethernet port is an auto-sensing 10/100/1000 BaseT (auto MDI/MDX) port with RJ-45
connector. This port supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af and 802.3at.
Antenna connectors
The AP 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 connect all
three cables and to respect the color-coding to ensure proper functionality. See “Available antennas”
(page 20).
Reset button
The Reset button is on the bottom of the AP, labeled as 5 in “AP key components (bottom end)”
(page 4). To reset the AP (same as power cycling), press then release the Reset button. To reset
the AP to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button until the status LEDs flash three times,
then release.
Important information to read before installing
WARNING! PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED.
For outdoor or indoor installation. Prior to 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, outdoor/indoor restrictions, and license requirements for
the intended country. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that installation and use
complies with local safety and radio regulations.
Surge protection and grounding: When connecting antennas installed outdoors to the AP, proper
lightning surge protection and grounding precautions must be taken in accordance with local
electrical code and regulations. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, fire, equipment
damage, or a voided warranty. The HP hardware warranty provides no protection against damage
caused by static discharge or a lightning strike. Lightning arresters (not supplied) are available
from HP (J8996A). One arrester is required for each antenna connector (total of six).
Cabling: You must use the appropriate cables, and where applicable, surge protection, for your
given region. Cat 5e (or better) cabling is required.
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 will automatically limit the available wireless channels, ensuring
compliant operation in the selected country. Entering the incorrect country may result in illegal
operation and may cause harmful interference to other systems.
Safety: Take note of the following during installation:
• If your network covers an area served by more than one power distribution system, make sure
all safety grounds are securely interconnected.
• Network cables are 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 an 802.3af or 802.3at PoE power source.
