Quickstart

Abstract

This document provides pre-installation information for the
the HP MSM422, MSM410, MSM335, MSM325,
MSM320, MSM320-R, MSM310, and MSM310-R Access
Points, hereafter referred to as APs. It is intended for
professional installers trained in RF installation and
knowledgeable in local regulations and license
requirements.

Overview

This Quickstart shows you how to install and get started
using the MSM APs. For the latest documentation
including the Release Notes and Installation Guide for
your AP model and the MSM3xx / MSM4xx Access
Points Configuration Guide, see www.hp.com/

support/manuals. For the latest information, including

software download instructions, see the Release Notes.
It is important that you also download the documents

referenced under “Installation and Configuration”

(page 3), read the additional safety and regulatory

information, and follow the detailed installation and
configuration directions provided in these documents.

The following table lists the AP models and associated
part numbers for the United States (US), Japan (JP),
and Worldwide (WW).

Safety and Regulatory Information

WARNING! Carefully observe the following

warnings.

HP Part Number:
Published: March 2013
Edition: 1

5998-3770

*5998-3770*

• Professional installation is required. Before

installing or using the AP, consult with a
professional installer trained in RF installation and
knowledgeable in local regulations including
building and wiring codes, safety, channel,
power, indoor/outdoor restrictions, and license
requirements for the intended country. The end
user is responsible for ensuring that installation

Page 1

and use comply with local safety and radio
regulations.

• Surge protection and grounding: When

connecting an outdoor antenna to an AP, make
sure that proper lightning surge protection and
grounding precautions are taken according to
local electrical code. Failure to do so can 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 supported Cat 5e (or

better) cables, and where applicable, surge
protection, for your given region. For compliance
with EN55022 Class-B emissions requirements,
use shielded Ethernet cables.

• Network cables can 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.

CAUTION: Carefully observe the following

cautions.

• 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
automatically limits the available wireless
channels, ensuring compliant operation in the
selected country. Entering the incorrect country
can result in illegal operation and can cause
harmful interference to other systems.

• External Antennas: 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, see the Antenna Power-Level Setting
Guide (for MSM Products) for your AP model
available at www.hp.com/support/manuals
(search by antenna model number).

To set the radio power transmission level for
controlled APs, see “Transmit power control” in
the MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide.
For information about autonomous APs, see
“Transmit power control” in the MSM3xx /
MSM4xx Access Points Configuration Guide.

• The AP is powered-on when the Ethernet port is

plugged into a PoE power source or when an
external power supply is connected.

• The AP and all interconnected equipment must be

installed indoors within the same building (except
for outdoor APs and antennas), including all
PoE-powered network connections as described
by Environment A of the IEEE 802.3af standard.

• MSM320-R and MSM310-R are the only models

that can be installed outdoors.

Powering the AP

The AP can be powered by:

• A 10/100 or 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled switch.

Various PoE-enabled switches are available from
HP.

• An HP 1-Port Power Injector (J9407B).

In addition, optional HP power supplies are available
for some APs:

• MSM422 and MSM335 APs: Able to have power

supplied by a Listed Information Technology
Equipment AC Adapter, Wall Industries Inc.,
Model GPSU30A-8, rated output 33–50 Vdc,

0.91–0.61 A, available as HP part number
J9406A.

• MSM320 and MSM310 APs: Able to have power

supplied by a Listed Information Technology
Equipment AC Adaptor, Sparkle Co. Inc., Models
FSP015-1AD201A or FSP015-DYAA1xx, rated
output 5 Vdc, 3A (marked Class 2 or LPS)
available as HP part number J9405A.

CAUTION: 802.11n APs only: If the 802.11n

AP is powered by a user-supplied PoE power
injector, use only a gigabit-compatible power
injector. PoE injectors designed for 10/100
networks only are not compatible with the AP.

• If your network covers an area served by more

than one power distribution system, be sure that
all safety grounds are securely interconnected.
