HP 560 Wireless 802.11ac Access Point Quickstart
Removing the AP
To remove the AP from the bracket:
1.
Detach any locks and remove the retaining screw.
2. While carefully holding the AP, insert a flat screwdriver into the cable
channel between the channel wall and the AP Bracket latch, releasing the
AP from the bracket, while being careful to retain grip on the AP as you
slide it away from the AP Bracket lock tab.
3. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AP.Controllers
The AP can run as a standalone AP in autonomous mode; however, it is
typically used with one of these controller families:
• HP MSM710, MSM720, MSM760, MSM765zl
• HP 10500/7500, HP 830, HP WX5002/WX5004
Both controller families cannot coexist on the same network. HP
Note:
10500/7500, HP 830, and HP WX5002/WX5004 Controllers are not
compatible with HP MSM7xx Controllers.

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 blink 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, the H3C WX
Series Access Controller Module Configuration Guide, or the HP Unified
Wireless: Migrating from an MSM Deployment.

Installation
Description
The AP is starting up.
The AP is looking for an IP address, or
building the list of VLANs on which to
perform discovery. The management tool
is available until discovery occurs.
The AP has obtained an IP address and is
attempting to discover a controller.
The AP has found a controller and is
attempting to establish a secure
management tunnel with it.
The AP has received a discovery reply
from two or more controllers with the
same priority setting. It cannot connect
with either controller until the conflict is
resolved.
The AP is attempting to establish a local
mesh link to a master node.
The AP is attempting to establish wired
connectivity.
