HP MSM466-R User Manual

Testing the wireless network
In the following example, the network has 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 or PoE power source.
3. Use an 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 an 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 ensure that it is set to obtain an IP
address and a DNS address automatically as
described in your operating system
documentation.
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 pre-shared key
you set earlier in Step 2 of “Configuring basic
wireless protection” (page 9).
7. Confirm that you can browse the Internet using
the wireless network.
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://<IP address> where <IP
address> is the AP IP address from “Assigning an IP
address to the AP” (page 9).

ensure that a lightning arrester is used on each
antenna connector (total of six). Lightening Arresters
(not supplied) are available from HP (J8996A).
CAUTION: Depending on the country of use, the
antenna selected, and your radio settings, it may be
mandatory to reduce the radio transmission power
level to maintain regulatory compliance. For specific
power limits for your country, consult the HP
MSM466-R External Antenna RF Power-level Setting
Guide available at www.hp.com/support/manuals
(search for your antenna).
NOTE: The J9169A Narrow Beam Sector Antenna
