802.11b and 11g AP Cards Features (continued)

The 150wl (802.11b AP card) supports the following wireless LAN features:

■ The 802.11b AP card is Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity)

certified by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility
Alliance (WECA). This means that your 802.11b AP
card will communicate with other vendors’ IEEE 802.11b compliant
wireless LAN products.

■ Fully compatible with any other wireless LAN system based on

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology that
complies with the IEEE 802.11 standard on wireless LANs.

■ Supports all 802.11b data rates in the transmit range of 11, 5.5, 2 and

1 Mbps.

■ Supports Automatic Frequency Channel Selection (2.4 GHz)

allowing roaming over multiple channels.

■ 128-bit RC4 data encryption (also supports 64-bit RC4/Wired

Equivalent Privacy - WEP).

The 170wl (802.11g AP card) supports the following wireless LAN features:

■ Fully compatible with any other wireless LAN system based on

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio technology that
complies with the IEEE 802.11 standard on wireless LANs.

■ Supports all 802.11g data rates in the transmit range of 54, 48, 36, 24,

18, 12, 9 and 6 Mbps. The 802.11g AP card also supports the 802.11b
data rates.

■ Supports Automatic Frequency Channel Selection (2.4 GHz)

allowing roaming over multiple channels.

■ 128-bit RC4 data encryption (also supports 64-bit RC4/Wired

Equivalent Privacy - WEP).

■ Closed system support. This feature prevents wireless client access

without the configured wireless network name.

■ VLAN 16 with multiple SSIDs, extends support for compatibility with

VLAN enabled wired networks by providing the user with the
capability to configure up to 16 Network Names or SSIDs, and 16
corresponding VLAN identifiers per AP card.

■ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Browser support is an enhancement to

the already existing HTTP management interface of the AP. This
functionality will allow secure communication between the AP and
the HTTP client.

4

■ Rogue AP detection will provide the ability to detect unauthorized

APs within a given coverage area. When enabled, the AP will scan
the range of coverage and identify the active APs in the area.

■ SNMPv3 support is for supporting the Simple Network Management

Protocol version 3. The SNMPv3 feature is based on existing SNMP
framework, but addresses security requirements for device and
network management.

■ Tx Power Control is an implementation of transmit power control

by using standard 802.11d frames to control transmit power. The AP
will allow four intervals of transmit power control: 100% (Regulatory
Maximum), 50%, 25%, and 12.5%.

■ Monitoring Station Statistics provides the capability to monitor a set

of statistics for all active stations connected to an AP. A user can
enable this feature and view statistics such as: IP address, MAC
address, interface, station type, protocol, and so forth.

■ HTTPS file transfer is an enhancement to the already existing HTTP

management interface of APs. This functionality will allow transfer
of configuration and kernel image files to and from the AP from any
compliant HTTP/HTTPS browser.

■ Auto configuration by DHCP server will allow for auto configuration

of the AP devices in a given subnet to include an IP address and basic
configuration.

■ Multiple RADIUS authentication server support extends the existing

authentication server configuration option available in APs. A user
can configure separate primary and secondary servers for RADIUS
and 802.1x servers that can be used for MAC based or 802.1x
authentication, respectively. This also extends the server fallback
capability to the new servers supported.

Association Test

1. Install a separate 802.11b/g wireless PC Card (not the 150wl or the
170wl) in a laptop or other computer, including the drivers and the
Client Manager application.

2. Configure that card to match the network name and encryption key of
the 802.11b and 11g AP Card you just installed in the HP 520wl Access
Point.

3. Verify the Client Manager application shows association with
the HP 520wl Access Point.

Troubleshooting

Common Situations

If you encounter difficulty using and/or installing these cards in your Access
Point, the error may be related to various causes:

■ The cards are not firmly inserted into the card slot.

■ Client is out of range (too far away from the access point). This

prevents the cards from establishing a wireless connection with the
client.

■ Configuration mismatch, which prevents clients from establishing a

wireless connection with the access point.

The configurations for the AP and the client may be different in some
way, perhaps due to the wrong kind of radio or an improper setting in
the configuration for one of the two devices.

Most configuration problems can be fixed by changing the settings for the
520wl Access Point using the browser-based interface. Configuration prob­lems may include:

■ SSID (Service Set Identification) misspelled

■ IP Configuration (Static IP is incorrect). If you did not use auto

configuration by DHCP server, then check configuration parameters
to ensure they are correct.

■ VLAN (May exclude your Access Point)

■ Password Settings

■ Management Services Settings (SNMP, Telnet, CLI, and HTTP)

■ Intra-BSS Traffic Operation set to Block

■ Security Settings (WEP Encryption Keys, 802.1x, MAC Access)

LED Activity

The starting point to troubleshoot problems with the card inserted into your
Access Point is looking at the LED activity of the card.

The following table provides an overview of the various modes of operation
and the associated LED activity. It also includes a number of trouble­shooting hints, that may help solve the problem.

data.
The cause may either be:

• AP Card is not fully inserted into the slot

• AP is not receiving power (LEDs on the AP are not lit)

10

Clients Cannot Connect to the Access Point

Here are some possible causes if clients are not able to connect to the access
point.

Configuration Mismatch

Frequent configuration mismatches involve the following items:

■ Network Name

The 802.11b and 11g AP Cards Network Name is case-sensitive. Each
wireless AP Card in the HP 520wl should have a unique Network Name.
This Network Name must match the active Network Name on client
machines. The client software allows you to store Network Names in
configuration profiles, then you can select a profile to fit your location.
Network Names should be allocated and maintained by the Network
Administrator.

■ Encryption Key

If you have set a WEP encryption key in the 520wl configuration, the
client wireless PC card must be configured to use the same key.

Client PC Card Does Not Work

1. Ensure you are using the latest PC Card driver software.

2. Download and install the latest client software.

3. Refer to the documentation that came with your client cards for addi­tional troubleshooting suggestions.

Intermittent Loss of Connection

1. Ensure the client is within range of the HP 520wl. For more information
regarding range see the Range/Transmit Rate chart on page 16.

2. The signal strength can be checked by using the signal strength gauge
from the client software.

11

Client Does Not Receive an IP Address - Cannot Connect to
Internet

1. If the HP 520wl is configured as a DHCP server, open the Web-browser
Interface and select the
the

DHCP Server tab to ensure the proper DHCP settings are being used.

Configure button, then the Network tab and then

2. If you are using the DHCP feature on the HP 520wl, then ensure your
local DHCP server is operating on the same subnet mask as your
HP 520wl.

NOTE:

For more information regarding DHCP Server settings, see the HP 520wl
User’s Guide.

3. From the client computer, use the ping network command to test the
connection with the HP 520wl. If the HP 520wl responds, but you still
cannot connect to the Internet, there may be a physical network config­uration problem.

12

Other Problems

If you are unable to fix problems with the 802.11b and 11g AP Card using
the suggestions in this chapter, you may want to try resetting the AP to
factory default settings.

■ On the 520wl Access Point hold the RESET button down for 5

seconds.

■ Turn the power off and back on again to reboot the Access Point.

■ In some cases you may need to reboot your computer or clients as

well.

■ Check the documentation that came with the client wireless cards

for other troubleshooting procedures for those cards.

If you are still having problems with the 802.11b and 11g AP Card and you
have not been able to fix them with the Troubleshooting suggestions from
this booklet, please refer to the more detailed instructions in the Trouble­shooting chapter of the HP 520wl User Guide.

3 dBi (integrated diversity antenna
module; 2.4-2.5 GHz)

The range of the wireless signal is related to the Transmit Rate of the
wireless communication. Communications at lower Transmit range will
travel larger distances. The range values listed above are typical distances
as measured under controlled conditions. These values may vary according
to the actual radio conditions at the location where the 802.11b and 11g AP
Cards will be installed.

The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are
placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials. Range is also
impacted due to “obstacles” in the signal path of the radio that may either
absorb or reflect the radio signal.

The listed ranges are typical values when used indoors in “office environ­ments” that can be described as follows:

■ In Open Office environments, antennas can “see” each other, that is,

there are no physical obstructions between them.

■ In Semi-open Office environments, work space is divided by

shoulder-height, hollow wall elements; antennas are at desktop
level.

■ In Closed Office environments, work space is separated by floor-to-

ceiling brick walls.

Auto Channel Selection. When inserted into the HP ProCurve Wireless
Access Point 520wl, the 802.11b and 11g AP Card will use the factory-set
default channel (channel 10, printed in bold), unless the LAN
Administrator selected a different channel when configuring the access
point device.

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
device generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the device off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the device and the receiver.

• Connect the device into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for
help.

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to
the device that are not expressly approved by the Hewlett-Packard Company may
void the user’s authority to operate the device.

Warning: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation

The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio exposure
limits. Nevertheless, you should use the device such that human contact
during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility of
exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to
the antenna should not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal
operation.

Warning: Radio Antenna Co-location

If your AP 520wl has two AP cards installed, a minimum separation of
20 cm must be maintained between the antennas of the two cards. This
may require the use of an approved external antenna with any 11b or 11g
card.
