Preparing for installation

IMPORTANT:

This installation guide shows you how to install and get started using the HP 525 Wireless Dual Radio 802.11ac Access Point JG993A(AM), JG994A(WW), JG995A(JP), JG996A(IL),

Safety recommendations

WARNING!

 This product is designed for specific application and needs to be installed by someone

with RF and related rule knowledge. The general user shall not attempt to install or change the setting.

 Before installation and operation, read all of the safety instructions in

Safety Guide

supplied with your AP.

General safety recommendations

To avoid possible bodily injury or equipment damage, read the following safety recommendations before you install an HP 525. The recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.

 Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.  Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.  Do not place the AP in a moist area and avoid liquid surrounding the AP.  Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walkways.

Checking the installation site

WARNING!

Please carefully select the installation position and make sure the final output power does not exceed the limit set forth in relevant rules. The violation of the rule could lead to serious federal penalty.

Determine the installation position by observing the following principles:

 To meet regulatory RF exposure requirements, install the device at a location where the

radiating antenna can be kept 40 cm (15.75 in) from any person.

WARNING!

Only use the antennas which have been approved by the applicant. Unapproved antenna(s) may produce unwanted spurious or excessive RF transmitting power, which is prohibited and could be in violation of FCC/IC limits.

 Leave as few obstacles (such as wall) as possible between APs and clients.  Install APs away from electronic devices (such as microwave ovens) that might generate radio

frequency (RF) noise.

 Do not install APs in a place where water seeping, water soaking, and condensing occur.

Prevent water or moisture from entering the APs.

 Do not place the device on any metal surface. Place it where there are no obstacles and good

signal strength is available.

Accessories provided with the AP

Antennas, power adapter, and power cable are user-supplied.

Installation preparation checklist

Before you install an AP, verify the following items:

 Connect the power cord and connect the AP to the network. Examine the LED status to make

sure the AP can operate correctly. For more information about AP LEDs, see "Appendix B

LEDs."

 Verify that cabling has been completed.

 The device supports 802.3af-compliant PoE. To achieve the best performance, HP

recommends that you use a GE connection to the power device.

 Record the MAC address and serial number of the AP (marked on the rear of the AP) for future

use.

 If part of the power line is routed outdoors, use a power strip with lightning protection (user

supplied) to connect the power cord of the AP to the power line.

IMPORTANT:

Connect the AP to the network by using an Ethernet cable, and then install the AP to the wall-mounting bracket.

To mount the AP to a ceiling T-rail:

1. Loosen the two M3 × 8 screws on each clip holder. Do not remove the screws.

2. Adjust the T-rail clips to make the T-rail holder wider than the T-rail. See callout 1 in Figure 9.

Then lock the T-rail with the T-rail holder according to the arrow indicated in callout 2 in

Figure 9.

3. Tighten the four M3 × 8 screws on the two clip holders.

4. Verify that the T-rail holder is attached to the T-rail.

5. Hook the mounting clip (see callout 3 in Figure 10) of the wall-mounting bracket to the

mounting hook (see callout 2 in Figure 10) of the T-rail holder.

6. Insert the two M4 × 5 screws (see callout 1 in Figure 10) through the two 5 mm (0.20 in)

diameter holes on the wall-mounting bracket according to the dashed line shown in Figure 10. Attach the screws to the T-rail holder.

7. Verify that the wall-mounting bracket is attached to the T-rail.

8. Connect the AP to the network by using an Ethernet cable.

9. Install the AP to the wall-mounting bracket. For more information, see "Mounting the AP on a

wall."

CAUTION:

 Verify that the AP is secured to the mounting bracket to avoid falloff.  Do not use this method to mount the AP to a location made of low-intensity materials

such as a plaster ceiling. If this installation method is required in such an environment, put a high-intensity plate beneath the ceiling to secure the installation.

 The ceiling tiles must be less than 18 mm (0.71 in) thick, and the ceiling must be able to

bear a weight of at least 5 kg (11.02 lb).

To install the AP on a ceiling:

1. Drill three 5.0 mm (0.20 in) diameter holes in the ceiling where you want to mount the AP. The

distance between the three holes must be the same as the distance between the three bolt holes on the mounting bracket.

2. Insert the hex-head bolts into the bolt holes on the mounting bracket and the holes in the

ceiling. From above the ceiling, fasten the hex nuts to the hex-head bolts to fix the mounting bracket to the ceiling.

3. Connect the AP to the network by using an Ethernet cable.

4. Install the AP to the wall-mounting bracket. For more information, see "Mounting the AP on a

wall."

Figure 12 Installing the mounting bracket to a ceiling

Connecting the power supply

The device can be powered by using a local or PoE power supply. You can select either method as needed. Make sure the power supply for either method is well grounded before you power on the AP.

CAUTION:

Identify the marks for the network port and console port to avoid connection mistakes.

Before you connect the local or PoE power supply, verify that the power supply is steady. You can use a local power source, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), or a user-supplied power generator to supply power to the AP.

After powering on the AP, examine the AP status LED. For more information about AP LEDs, see

Appendix B LEDs."

Connecting the AP to a local power supply

The AP is not shipped with a power adapter or power cable.

The device supports both listed AC and DC power adapters marked “LPS” or limited power source. You can connect the power port of the AP to the power source through a power adapter to supply power to the AP as shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13 Local power supply connection

Connecting the AP to a PoE power supply

When you apply 802.3af PoE power supply, connect one end of the network cable to the network port on the AP, and the other end to an Ethernet port on a PoE-capable device (for example, a PoE-capable Ethernet switch). If the uplink device of the AP is a PoE switch, use an Ethernet cable to directly connect the Ethernet port of the AP to the PoE device as shown in Figure 14.(indoor used)

Figure 14 PoE connection

Connecting the AP to the network

APs can access the Internet or metropolitan area network (MAN) through the Ethernet uplink interface. To implement Internet or MAN access, connect the Ethernet port of the AP to an Ethernet port of an Ethernet switch.

When the AP operates as a fit AP, all of its settings are configured on the AC. You can use the display wlan ap all command to examine the AP status on the AC. When the AP status is R/M, the AP has been successfully connected to the AC.

NOTE:

The HP 525 is usually installed on a high position. HP recommends that you log in to the AP to configure related settings before you install the AP.

NOTE:

The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. If the AP has been powered on, connect the console cable to the PC before connecting to the AP, and when you disconnect the cable, first disconnect from the AP.

Logging in to the fat AP

When the HP 525 operates as a fat AP, you can log in to the AP through the console port, or through Telnet or web to configure the AP, but you must obtain the IP address of the AP first.

 Logging in through the console port—Logging in through the console port is the most

fundamental login method. To log in through other methods, you must log in through the console port and perform the required configurations.

 Logging in through Telnet—You can telnet to the device to remotely manage and maintain it.  Logging in through web—You can log in to the web interface of the device to remotely

manage and maintain it.

Logging in through the console port

Prepare the following before you log in through the console port:

 An 8-core shielded console cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end, and a DB-9

female connector at the other end.

 A configuration terminal—A laptop or PC with a serial port.

Setting up the configuration environment

To connect the console cable:

1. Plug the DB-9 female connector to the serial port of the PC.

2. Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the AP.
