MSM415 RF Security Sensor
Quick Start Guide
Abstract
The MSM415 RF Security Sensor is a single-11n radio
security sensor that continuously scans the 2.4 and 5 GHz
bands to detect and counter-attack security threats for
802.11a/b/g/n wireless devices and APs. This document
describes how to install and initially configure the MSM415,
hereafter referred to as the sensor. The latest documentation
is available at www.hp.com/support/manuals.

Ports
Ethernet port (Port 1): Auto-sensing 10/100/1000
Base-T Ethernet port with RJ-45 connector. This port
supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af.
Console port: Standard console (serial) port with an
RJ-45 connector.
Caution: Never connect the console port to an Ethernet
switch or PoE power source. This may damage the
sensor. Connect it only to other serial ports via an
RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter or equivalent.
Radios and Antennas
The sensor contains an integrated single 802.11n
Draft 2 compliant radio with an internal three-element,
dual-band MIMO antenna.
there is one wireless interface used for both 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz, some states are overlapping.
