Guide Abstract This document describes how to install and initially configure the -MSM466-R Dual Radio Outdoor 802.1 1n Access Point (hereafter referred to as the AP). This document applies to these MSM466-R models: J9715A (AM), J9716A (WW), J9717A (JP), J9718A (IL). Professional wireless and electrical equipment experience is required. For controlled mode, see also MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide.

1 Preparing for installation Package contents One AP One weatherproof RJ-45 Ethernet connector One pole mounting/wall mounting bracket Bracket bolts (x2), lock washers (x2), flat washers (x4) Wall anchors (x4) and screws (x4) Pole clamps (x2) for a 5 cm (2 inch) diameter pole Documentation Additional equipment needed In addition to the items supplied with the AP, protection equipment will be required according to...
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. Lightning arresters (not supplied) are available from HP (J8996A).
The AP can be powered by: A 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled (802.3af or 802.3at) switch. PoE-enabled switches are 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-supplied PoE power injector, use only a gigabit-compatible power injector.
Identify a suitable installation location. The AP is IP67 and NEMA 4X rated, providing protection against water intrusion and salt fog damage. Local electrical and building codes and regional regulations will dictate many aspects of your installation. HP recommends that you test transmission and reception at the proposed location before installing.
Hold the screw nut (5) vertically, with the open threads facing up, and drop the body (6) into it, with the RJ-45 connector opening facing up. Hold the clamp ring (3) vertically below the screw nut/body items and screw the body (6) into the threads on the clamp ring (3).
Mounting the AP Pole installation IMPORTANT: The AP and antennas can be mounted on a pole with a diameter of 32 to 57 mm (1.25 to 2.25 inches). The pole must be capable of supporting the AP and antennas at the maximum anticipated wind loading.

(5) at the desired position and then fully tighten the pole clamp screw to anchor the AP against the pole (5). Attach the second pole clamp (4) in the same manner as the first, also firmly tightening it. Figure 6 AP mounted on pole 1.
Wall installation Refer to Figure 7. Hold the mounting bracket as a drilling template against the wall at the desired position with the two bracket bolt holes (4) facing the left and right sides. Using the four screw holes on the bracket (1), mark four holes for the screws (wall anchors). Figure 7 Mounting bracket 1.

Attaching the Ethernet cable Refer to Figure 1 1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector (see “AP key components (bottom end)” (page 4)). Figure 1 1 Drip loop 1. Pole 2. 15 cm (6 inches) 3. 25 cm (10 inches) Create a drip loop in the Ethernet cable below the AP.
3 Initially configuring (autonomous mode) This procedure describes how to switch a factory-default AP from controlled mode (the default) to autonomous mode and then perform its initial configuration and establish a wireless connection through the AP to the Internet. Understanding operating modes The AP can operate in one of two modes: controlled (the default) or autonomous.
“Important information to read before installing” (page At the password prompt HP recommends that you change the default password and select Save. Passwords must be at least six characters long and include four different characters. If you forget this password, you will have to reset the AP to factory defaults to regain access.
IP address and a DNS address automatically as described in your operating system documentation. By default, the AP creates a wireless network named HP in the 5GHz band for 802.1 1n and 802.1 1a users. Connect your computer to this wireless network, specifying the pre-shared key you set earlier in Step 2 of “Configuring basic wireless protection”...
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 from www.hp.com/support/manuals...
