Important information to read before installing
Surge protection and grounding: When connecting antennas installed
outdoors to the E-MSM466, make sure that proper lightning surge protection
and grounding precautions are taken according to local electrical code. 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.
Cabling: You must use the appropriate cables, and where applicable, surge
protection, for your given region. Cat 5e (or better) cabling is required.
Plenum installation: The AP can be installed in a plenum. The AP is suitable
for use in environmental air space in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the
National Electrical Code, and Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100 of the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1. It should be installed in a similar
orientation as in a ceiling installation. However, it is left to a qualified installer
to determine how to install/secure the AP in a plenum in an appropriate and
safe manner. Plenum-rated cables and attachment hardware must be used.
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 safety information 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 may occasionally be 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 a PoE power source.
• The AP and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors within
the same building (except for outdoor antennas), including all
PoE-powered network connections, as described by Environment A of the
IEEE 802.3af standard.
See also Other regulatory information on page 8.

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. (Note that the above MSM products are also known as
E-MSM320, E-MSM335, and E-MSM422.)
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 (also known as
E-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.

About controlled mode and autonomous mode
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) on page 6.

Initial configuration (autonomous mode)
A. 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. For example to do this in Windows Vista, use
Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage network
connections, right click Local Area Connection, select Properties then
select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties.
2. Disable any wireless connection on your computer.
B. 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 of the PoE injector and the AP to the
data and power out port of the PoE injector.
2. Power on the AP by powering on the PoE switch or injector.
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.
Note: For controlled-mode configuration, see Working with controlled APs in
the MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide.
In autonomous mode, the AP is managed via its Web-based management tool
using at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 8+ or Mozilla Firefox 3+.
Wireless Protection: A factory-default AP that has been switched
to autonomous mode has wireless protection options disabled. It is
recommended that you either follow the procedure in Configure basic wireless
protection on page 7 or configure protection of your choice.
See also Wireless protection in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx Access Points
Configuration Guide.
Caution:
Note: Do not power on the AP until directed.
Initially, the AP power light will blink once every two seconds. Wait
approximately a minute until it begins blinking once per second before
proceeding to the next step.
C. Switch the AP to autonomous mode
Note: A factory-default AP is assumed.
1. In a Web browser, enter the address: https://192.168.1.1.
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 AP management tool home page opens.
4. Select Switch to Autonomous Mode and confirm the change. The AP
restarts in autonomous mode.

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:
7
Initial configuration (autonomous mode)
• Let the DHCP server automatically assign an IP address. By default,
the DHCP server will assign an IP address after the AP connects to the
network. After the DHCP server has assigned the AP an IP address, you can
then find the IP address of the AP by looking for its Ethernet base MAC
address in the DHCP server log. For example after Step F.4 below, you could
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. For IP address set an address that
is on the same subnet as the network to which the AP will connect
after installation. Respect any DHCP server-mandated static address
ranges. Also set Mask and Default gateway.
4. Select Save. Connection to the management tool is lost. You can later
reconnect to the management tool by specifying the new IP address.
G. Test the wireless network
E. Configure basic wireless protection
It is recommended that you at least configure basic wireless protection. See
Wireless protection in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx Access Points 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.
F. Assigning 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 LAN MAC, and listed on the
management tool Home page as Ethernet base MAC address.
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 of your computer, and verify that it
is set to obtain an IP address automatically. For example, to do this in
Windows Vista, use Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center >
Manage Network Connections > Wireless Network Connection,
right-click Properties and select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
> Properties, and make sure that Obtain an IP address automatically
and Obtain a DNS server address automatically are both enabled.
6. By default, the AP creates a wireless network named HP in the 5GHz band
for 802.11n and 802.11a users. Connect your computer to this wireless
network, specifying the preshared key you set earlier in step E.2.
7. Confirm that you can browse the Internet using the wireless network.
