Safety and Regulatory Information

Protection equipment neededIn addition to the items supplied with the AP, protectionequipment is required according to your electricalcode. Consult the respective Antenna Guide (availableonline, search by antenna part number), including theLightning Arrester section for important safetyinformation and instructions. Although the AP includesa built-in Ethernet surge suppressor, HP stronglyrecommends that you add an Ethernet surge suppressorwhere the Ethernet cable enters the building.

Important information to read before installingWARNING: Professional installation is required.For outdoor or indoor installation. Prior to installingor using the AP, consult with a professional installertrained in RF installation and knowledgeable in localregulations including building and wiring codes,safety, channel, power, outdoor/indoor restrictions,and license requirements for the intended country. Itis the responsibility of the end user to ensure thatinstallation and use complies with local safety andradio regulations.Surge protection and grounding: When connectingantennas installed outdoors to the AP, make sure thatproper lightning surge protection and groundingprecautions are taken according to local electricalcode. Failure to do so can result in personal injury,fire, equipment damage, or a voided warranty. TheHP hardware warranty provides no protection againstdamage caused by static discharge or a lightningstrike. Lightening Arresters (J8996A) are availablefrom HP. One arrester is required for each antennaconnector (total of 6).Cabling: You must use Cat 5e (or better) cables, andwhere applicable for your region, surge protection.Country of use: In some regions, you are prompted toselect the country of use during setup. After the countryhas been set, the AP automatically limits the availablewireless channels, ensuring compliant operation in theselected country. Entering the incorrect country canresult in illegal operation and can cause harmfulinterference to other systems.

Safety: Consider the following safety informationduring installation:• If your network covers an area served by more

than one power distribution system, make sure allsafety grounds are securely interconnected.

• Network cables are subject to hazardous transientvoltages (caused by lightning or disturbances inthe electrical power grid).

• Handle exposed metal components of the networkwith caution.

• The AP is powered-on when connected to a PoEpower source.

Powering the APIMPORTANT: Typically, the AP requires 802.3afpower; however, for operation below -20°C (-4°F),802.3at power is required to activate the integratedheater. The AP automatically detects the type of PoEsource and turns on the heater only when 802.3atpower is detected and heating is required. When firstpowered on at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) (witheither power source), it can take a few minutes for theAP to heat up internally before it becomes fullyoperational.The AP can be powered by:• A 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled (802.3af or

802.3at) switch. Various PoE-enabled switchesare available from HP.

• HP 1-Port 802.3af Gig PoE Power Injector(J9407B).

• HP 1-Port 802.3at Gig PoE Power Injector(JD054A).

CAUTION: If the AP will be powered by a user-suppliedPoE power injector, use only a gigabit-compatiblepower injector. PoE injectors designed for 10/100networks only are not compatible with the AP.

InstallationIdentify a suitable installation location. The AP is IP67and NEMA 4X rated, providing protection againstwater intrusion and salt fog damage. Local electricaland building codes and regional regulations dictatemany aspects of your installation. HP recommends thatyou test transmission and reception at the proposedlocation before installing.You must provide an effective earth ground for the AP.It is rarely sufficient to use a metal pole for equipment

grounding. To ensure safety and electrical protection,you must decide how to route the Ethernet cable fromthe building to the AP.

Preparing the weatherproof Ethernet cableTo provide a weatherproof seal, the Ethernet port onthe AP uses a custom weatherproof cable connector(supplied). You must terminate your Ethernet cable withthis connector as described in the following procedure.Cable length must not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).Spare weatherproof cable connectors are availablefrom HP (5066-1705).CAUTION: Ruggedized Ethernet cables must be usedfor outdoor cable runs.The image key references (numbers in parentheses) inthe following procedure reference Figure 2 (page 3).

1. Carefully unpack the nine weatherproof connectoritems from the plastic bag, identifying all parts asillustrated. If any parts are missing, do notproceed. Contact HP support to request areplacement parts kit.

2. If your Ethernet cable already has an RJ-45connector on the end that will connect to the AP,remove the RJ-45 connector by cutting the cableat least 1.2 cm (.5 inch) from the RJ-45 connector.Be sure to make a clean cut with a pair of sharpangle cutters. The complete cut (through both thecable sheath and all wires) must occur in a singlecutting motion.

3. Prepare the clamp ring:a. Hold the clamp ring (3) horizontally, with its

fingers to the left.b. Insert the seal (2) into the fingers side until it

is flush with the end of the fingers.c. The gasket (4) is beveled on one side. Insert

the gasket (4) into the right end of the clampring, beveled side facing to the left, pushingit against the ridge at the end of the threads.The beveled side should face away from thescrew nut (5).

4. Thread the sealing nut (1) onto the left end of theclamp ring (3). Tighten it only enough to stayattached.

5. Hold the screw nut (5) vertically, with the openthreads facing up, and drop the body (6) into it,with the RJ-45 connector opening facing up.

6. Hold the clamp ring (3) vertically below the screwnut/body items and screw the body (6) into thethreads on the clamp ring (3). Tighten it onlyenough to stay attached.Note that the screw nut (5) remains loose on thebody (6).

7. Remove the white backing paper from one of theRJ-45 gaskets (8), carefully align the gasket (8)with the RJ-45 connector shape on the body (6),and press the glued side onto the body (6).

8. Remove the backing paper from the second RJ-45gasket (8) and press it over the first one, beingsure to maintain alignment.

9. Hand tighten the threads between body (6) andclamp ring (3).CAUTION: Do not tighten between clamp ring (3)and sealing nut (1). Do not over tighten. Do nottighten with tools.The connector assembly should now look likeFigure 3 (page 3) when held horizontally, withthe sealing nut at the left end, and the screw nutover the body on the right.

Figure 3 Weatherproof connector assembly

10. Carefully thread the cleanly-cut end of the Ethernetcable through the sealing nut (1) end of theconnector assembly, and push throughapproximately 30 cm (1 foot) of cable.NOTE: The next two steps should be performedby someone with experience building Ethernetcables.

11. Prepare the cable and attach it to the RJ-45 plug(7) according to the directions included with yourcrimping tool.

12. Before continuing, test the cable with a portableEthernet cable tester to ensure that the RJ-45 plug(7) is correctly connected.

13. Carefully pull the cable slack back through theconnector assembly until the RJ-45 plug (7) isalmost touching the body (6). Adjust the cableposition so that the RJ-45 plug (7) fits preciselyinto the RJ-45 cutout in the body (6), and pressdown the plastic tab so the plug fits correctly.

14. Hand tighten the threads between sealing nut (1)and clamp ring (3), until the cable is firmlyanchored.CAUTION: Do not over tighten. Do not tightenwith tools.

Installing cablingAccording to your needs and local electrical codesand regulations, run Ethernet cabling, body groundwire, and any separate grounding wires as neededfor antenna lightning arresters as described in therespective antenna guide, to where the AP will beinstalled. For the Ethernet cable, allow for an extra0.6 meters (2 feet) for connector attachment and driploops. Install an Ethernet surge suppressor (notsupplied) according to its instructions at the locationwhere the Ethernet cable enters the building. This mightnot be necessary if the outdoor cable run is very short;for example, when the AP is mounted on an outdoorwall. The AP includes a built-in Ethernet surgesuppressor for its end of the Ethernet cable.

Mounting the APThe AP can be mounted on a pole or on a wall.

Pole installationIMPORTANT: The AP and antennas can be mountedon a pole with a diameter of 32 to 57 mm (1.25 to2.25 inches). The pole must be capable of supportingthe AP and antennas at the maximum anticipated windloading.

3. Connect the RJ-45 plug to the socket on the AP,hold it firmly in place, and tighten the screw nutby hand. See Figure 2 (page 3).CAUTION: Do not over tighten. Do not tightenwith tools.

ControllersThe AP is typically used with one of these controllerfamilies:• HP MSM710, MSM720, MSM760, MSM765zl

• HP 10500/7500, HP 830,nl

HP WX5002/WX5004NOTE: Both controller families cannot coexist on thesame network. HP 10500/7500, HP 830, and HP

WX5002/WX5004 Controllers are not compatiblewith HP MSM7xx Controllers.Optionally, the AP can run as a standalone AP inautonomous mode. For more information, see “Usingautonomous mode” (page 8).

Using controllersTo become operational, the AP must establish amanagement tunnel with a controller. The controllermanages the AP and provides all configurationsettings. When power is applied, the AP establishesa connection to the controller automatically if defaultsettings are used on the AP and the controller, andboth devices are on the same subnet. No furtherconfiguration is required.After the discovery process is complete, and the APhas established a secure management tunnel to thecontroller, the Power LED remains on and the Ethernetand Radio LEDs flash to indicate the presence of traffic.For more information about using the AP with MSM7xxControllers, see “Working with controlled APs” in theMSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide. For moreinformation about using the AP with HP 10500/7500,HP 830 or WX5002/WX5004 Controllers, see theHP 830 Switch and HP 10500/7500 20G ModuleAccess Controller Module Basic Configuration Guide,or the H3C WX Series Access Controller ModuleConfiguration Guide.

Using autonomous modeIn autonomous mode, the AP operates as a standaloneAP. This chapter describes how to set an AP toautonomous mode, and then perform its initialconfiguration and establish a wireless connectionthrough the AP to the Internet.CAUTION: A factory-default AP that has been switchedto autonomous mode has wireless protection optionsdisabled. HP recommends that after the initialconfiguration, you enable a wireless security optionto properly safeguard the wireless network fromintruders. For more information, see “Wirelessprotection” in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx APsConfiguration Guide.In autonomous mode, the AP is managed via itsweb-based management tool using Microsoft InternetExplorer 8 or later or Mozilla Firefox 9.0.1 or later.

Configuring your computer1. Disconnect your computer LAN port and configure

it as follows:• Set a static IP address in the range

192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.• Set a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

• Set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1.

• Set the DNS server to 192.168.1.1.2. Disable any wireless connection on your

computer.

Connecting the cables and powering on the AP1. Connect the cables:

• If using a PoE switch, use Ethernet cables toconnect your computer and the AP to anunused factory-default PoE switch.

• If using a PoE injector, use Ethernet cablesto connect your computer to the data in portof the PoE injector and the AP to the dataand power out port of the PoE injector.

2. Power on the AP by powering on the PoE switchor injector. Initially, the AP Power LED flashesonce every two seconds. Wait approximately aminute until it begins flashing once per secondbefore proceeding to the next section.

Switching the AP to autonomous modeNOTE: A factory-default AP is assumed.1. In a web browser on the computer connected to

the AP, enter the address: https://192.168.1.1.2. A security certificate warning appears the first

time you connect to the management tool. Selectwhatever option is needed in your web browserto continue to the management tool.

3. On the Login page, specify admin for bothUsername and Password, and then select Login.The AP management tool home page opens.

4. Select Switch to Autonomous Mode, and confirmthe change.The AP restarts in autonomous mode.NOTE: To avoid a delay after switching modes,clear the ARP (address resolution protocol) cacheon your computer. In Windows for example, fromthe Windows Start menu, select Run , enter arp-d, and then select OK.

Assigning an IP address to the APBy default, the AP operates as a DHCP client. Thismeans that if the network has a DHCP server, the APautomatically receives a new IP address in place ofits default address of 192.168.1.1 upon connectingto the network. Use one of the following methods toassign an IP address to the AP:• Preconfigure the DHCP server to assign a specific

IP address to the AP. To do this you must specifythe AP Ethernet MAC address and a reserved IPaddress on the DHCP server. The AP EthernetMAC address is printed on the AP label identifiedas LAN MAC, and listed on the management toolhome page as Ethernet base MAC address.

• Let the DHCP server automatically assign an IPaddress. By default, the DHCP server assigns anIP address when the AP connects to the network.After the DHCP server assigns an IP address tothe AP, you can find the AP IP address by lookingfor its Ethernet base MAC address in the DHCPserver log. For example, after Step 4 below, youcan go to the DHCP server log to retrieve the IPaddress assigned to the AP.

• Assign a static IP address to the AP: The addressmust be on the same subnet as the network towhich the AP will connect and must not be in useby any other device.1. Select Network > DNS, set the DNS server

address, and then select Save.2. Select Network > Ports > Bridge port.3. Select Static, and then select Configure.

Set the following configuration settings:a. IP address: Set a unique address that is

on the same subnet as the network towhich the AP will connect afterinstallation. Respect any DHCPserver-mandated static address ranges.

b. Mask: Set the corresponding mask forthe IP address.

c. Default gateway: Set the IP address ofthe gateway on the network.

4. Select Save.Connection to the management tool is lost.You can reconnect to the management toolby specifying the new IP address.

Testing the wireless networkIn the following example, the network has a DHCPserver and an Internet connection. Broadband routerstypically 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 thedata and power out port of the injector.

5. Enable the wireless network interface of yourcomputer, and ensure that it is set to obtain an IPaddress and a DNS address automatically asdescribed in your operating systemdocumentation.

6. By default, the AP creates a wireless networknamed HP in the 5 GHz band for 802.11n and802.11a users. Connect your computer to thiswireless network, specifying the pre-shared keyyou set earlier in Step 2 of “Configuring basicwireless protection” (page 9).

7. Confirm that you can browse the Internet usingthe wireless network.

Performing additional configurationConfigure your computer LAN port and connect it tothe same network as the AP. Re-launch the APmanagement tool at https://<IP address> where <IPaddress> is the AP IP address from “Assigning an IPaddress to the AP” (page 9).
