powered on or reset. If it remains on, the controller has encountered
a fatal hardware failure, or has failed its self-test. For more
information, see “Troubleshooting problems” (page 5).

remains on.
The controller is not plugged into
an active AC power source.
A hardware failure has occurred.The fault LED
1. Verify that the power cable is firmly attached to the
controller and plugged into an active power source.
2. Power cycle the controller by unplugging and plugging
the power cable back in.
3. If the power LED remains off, verify the AC power source
by:
• Plugging another device into the outlet
• Plugging the controller power cable into a different
outlet
• Using a different (approved) power cable
4. If the power source and power cable are good and this
condition persists, the power supply might have failed.
Call your HP authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic
support services from HP to get assistance. For more
information, see the warranty information website:

Console port
The controller console port is a standard serial port with an RJ-45 connector. To connect to a
computer, use the supplied DB-9 to RJ-45 console cable.
Identifying controller components 5
LCD display
The LCD displays the following:
• The controller type, either Mobility Controller or Access Controller
• The maximum number of supported APs, according to the controller license
• The IP address of the Internet port.
During start up, the LCD displays a system booting message.
Until the controller receives its IP address from a DHCP server, the address displays as: 0.0.0.0
Keypad
The keypad is not used in this release.
USB port
The USB port is not used in this release.
MAC address
The Internet port MAC address is printed on the front of the controller. The LAN port MAC address
is the Internet port MAC address plus 1.
Ethernet ports
The controller has two auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connectors. Connector
1 (on the left) is used for the Internet port and connector 2 (on the right) is used for the LAN port.
Ethernet status LEDs on the left and right edges of the RJ-45 connectors indicate speed and activity.
6 Preparing for installation
Installation precautions
Observe the following precautions when installing the controller.
WARNING!
• The rack or cabinet must be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and
falling over.
Install products as low as possible in a rack or cabinet, with the heaviest devices at the bottom
and progressively lighter devices installed above.
• For safe operation, only install the controller horizontally, with the bottom side down.
CAUTION:
• Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, and use the power cable supplied
with the controller to connect it to the power source.
• If your installation requires a different power cable than the one supplied with the controller,
be sure to use a power cable displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the
regulations for power cables in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cable
can be used safely with the controller.
• Connect the controller to an AC outlet that is easily accessible in case the controller must be
powered off.
• Ensure the controller does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings
of all devices installed on the same circuit as the controller and compare the total with the
rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are typically printed on the devices
near the AC power connectors.
• Do not install the controller in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might
exceed 40°C (104°F).
• Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the controller is not restricted.
