HP MSM466-R User Manual

Attaching the Ethernet cable
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
connector as shown in Figure 9 (page 7).

2. Create a drip loop in the Ethernet cable below
the AP as shown in Figure 9 (page 7).
A drip loop provides additional protection against
water running down the Ethernet cable and into
the connector. Make sure that the distance
between the loop start and end points is at least
15 cm (6 inches), and that the cable hangs down
at least 25 cm (10 inches).
3. Connect the RJ-45 plug to the socket on the AP,
hold it firmly in place, and tighten the screw nut
by hand. See Figure 2 (page 3).
CAUTION: Do not over tighten. Do not tighten
with tools.
Controllers
The AP is typically used with one of these controller
families:
• HP MSM710, MSM720, MSM760, MSM765zl
• HP 10500/7500, HP 830,
nl
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.
Optionally, the AP can run as a standalone AP in
autonomous mode. For more information, see “Using
autonomous mode” (page 8).
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 flash 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,
or the H3C WX Series Access Controller Module
Configuration Guide.
