Installation Procedures
7. (Optional) Connect a Console to the RSVLC-0501
The RSVLC-0501 has a full-featured, easy to use console interface for performing access point management tasks, including the following:
modify the access point’s configuration to optimize access point perfor-
mance, enhance network traffic control, and improve network security
download new software to the access point
set a Manager password to control access to the access point from the
console, Web browser interface, and network management stations
The console can be accessed through these methods:
Out-of-Band: Use a serial cable for connecting a PC or VT-100 terminal
to be used as a console directly to the access point.
In-Band: Access the console using Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) from a
PC on the network, and a VT-100 terminal emulator. This method requires that you first configure the access point with an IP address and subnet mask by using either out-of-band console access or through DHCP. For more information on IP addressing and on starting a Telnet or SSH session, see chapter 3, “Getting Started With Access Point Configuration”, and the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your access point.
Installing the RSVLC-0501
The RSVLC-0501 can simultaneously support one out-of-band console session through the Console Port and four in-band Telnet or SSH console sessions.
Note For information on using the Web browser interface to configure the access
point, refer to the Management and Configuration Guide.
Terminal Configuration
To connect a console to the access point, configure the PC terminal emulator as a DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal or use a VT-100 terminal, and configure either one to operate with these settings:
9600 baud
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to None
For the Windows Terminal program, also disable (uncheck) the “Use
Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows” option
For the Hilgraeve HyperTerminal program, select the “Terminal keys”
option for the “Function, arrow, and ctrl keys act as” parameter
You can only attach to the console using these configuration settings.

The RSVLC-0501 is designed to provide access to a wired LAN for wireless clients. An integrated wired/wireless LAN is called an Infrastructure configu­ration. A Basic Service Set (BSS) consists of a group of wireless PC users, and an access point that is directly connected to the wired LAN. Each wireless PC in this BSS can talk to any computer in its wireless group, or access other computers or network resources in the wired LAN infrastructure via the access point.
The infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also increases the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by passing their signal through one or more access points.

Wireless Client
The Basic Service Set (BSS) defines the communications domain for each access point and its associated wireless clients. The BSS ID is a 48-bit binary number based on the access point’s wireless MAC address, and is set automat­ically and transparently as clients associate with the access point. The BSS ID is used in frames sent between the access point and its clients to identify traffic in the service area.
The BSS ID is only set by the access point, never by its clients. The clients only need to set the Service Set Identifier (SSID) that identifies the service set provided by one or more access points. The SSID can be manually configured by the clients, can be detected in an access point’s beacon, or can be obtained by querying for the identity of the nearest access point. For clients that do not need to roam, set the SSID for the wireless card to that used by the access point to which you want to connect.
Installing the RSVLC-0501
Sample Network Topologies
A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for mobile workers. More than one access point can be configured to create an Extended Service Set (ESS). By placing the access points so that a continuous coverage area is created, wireless users within this ESS can roam freely. All HP wireless network cards, adapters, and access points within a specific ESS must be configured with the same SSID.

Getting Started With Access Point Configuration
This chapter is a guide for using the access point’s console to quickly assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address and subnet mask to the access point, set a manager password, and, optionally, configure other basic features.
For more information on using the access point’s console and the Web browser interface, please see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your access point.
Recommended Minimal Configuration
In the factory default configuration, the access point is configured as a DHCP client. If the access point fails to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, it uses its default static IP address of 192.168.1.1. If this address is not compatible with your network, then the access point can only be managed through a direct console connection. To manage the access point through in­band (networked) access, you should configure the access point with an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your network. Also, you should configure a Manager password to control access to the console and Web browser interface. Other parameters can be left at their default settings or you can configure them with values you enter.

Getting Started With Access
Point Configuration
Caution The country code for the HP ProCurve RSVLC-0501 NA (J8986A) sold in the
United States and Canada is preset and cannot be changed. This means that only radio channels 1-11 are available for this model.
The country code for the HP ProCurve RSVLC-0501 WW (J8987A) sold in other countries is not set, and must be configured before you can enable radio communications for the access point. Setting the country code enables only those radio channels permitted for wireless networks in the specified country. Please refer to“To Set the Access Point’s Country Code” on page 3-4 for information on setting the country code.
Note that once you have set the country code, it can only be changed by restoring the factory default settings as described under “Restoring Custom and Factory Default Configurations” on page 5-8.
3-1
Getting Started With Access Point Configuration
Many other features can be configured through the access point’s console interface to optimize the access point’s performance, to enhance your control of the network traffic, and to improve network security. Once an IP address has been configured on the access point, these features can be accessed more conveniently through a remote Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session, or through the access point’s Web browser interface.
For more information on IP addressing, refer to “Configuring IP Settings” in the Management and Configuration Guide.
Note By default, the access point is configured to acquire an IP address configura-
tion from a DHCP server. To use DHCP instead of the manual method described in this chapter, see “Configuring IP Settings” in the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your access point.
Using the Command Line Interface
The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the access point for management and password protection in your network is to use a direct console connection to the access point, start a console session, and access the command line interface (CLI).
Getting Started With Access
To Set the Manager User Name and Password
Management access to the access point’s Web and CLI interface is controlled through user names and passwords. A Manager user name and password allows full read/write privileges for the Web and CLI. An Operator user name and password can also be configured. The Operator is restricted to read-only access. A maximum of only two users can be configured, one Manager and

ProCurve RSVLC-0501(config)#password manager 1AB2F ProCurve RSVLC-0501(config)#
To Set the Access Point’s IP Address
By default, the access point is configured to automatically receive IP addressing from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. However, if you are not using a DHCP server to configure IP addressing, use the CLI to manually configure the IP values.
1. From the global configuration mode, type interface ethernet to access the Ethernet interface-configuration mode.
ProCurve RSVLC-0501(config)#interface ethernet ProCurve RSVLC-0501(ethernet)#
2. Type show ip to display the access point’s default IP configuration, including IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. The following illustration shows the default settings.
ProCurve RSVLC-0501(ethernet)# show ip IP Address Information: System Host Name ProCurve-RSVLC-0501 IP Address 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway not set DHCP Client Enabled

To Set the Access Point’s Country Code
If you are using the HP ProCurve RSVLC-0501 NA (J8986A) model sold in the United States, radio channels 1 - 11 are the only options supported under FCC regulations, and cannot be changed. However, if you are using HP ProCurve RSVLC-0501 WW (J8987A) model sold in other countries, then you need to set the country code to indicate the channels permitted for your area. The country code can only be set using the CLI.
Select the two-character code for your country (refer to the Management and Configuration Guide for a full list of codes), then enter the country command followed by your country code; for example, gb for Great Britain.
ProCurve RSVLC-0501#country gb ProCurve RSVLC-0501#

Where to Go From Here
The above procedure, using the CLI, configured your access point with a Manager password, IP address, and subnet mask. As a result, with the proper network connections, you can now manage the access point from a PC equipped with Telnet or a Secure Shell client, or a Web browser interface. The above procedure also configured the primary Service Set Identifier (SSID), the radio channel, and enabled wireless operation. Your wireless clients can now access the network by setting their SSID and radio channel to the same values used by the access point. Note that some wireless clients can be configured to scan all of the radio channels for an access point and the SSID.
Some basic information on managing your access point is included in the next section. For more information on the console and Web browser interfaces, and all the features that can be configured on the RSVLC-0501, please see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your access point.
To Recover from a Lost Manager Password: If you cannot start a con­sole session because of a lost manager password, you can clear the password and user name by getting physical access to the access point and pressing and holding the Clear button for more than one second.
Caution The Clear button is provided for your convenience, but if you are concerned

Using an External Antenna with the RSVLC-0501
Installation Procedures
Installation Procedures
Follow these steps to install an external antenna and connect it to the RSVLC-
0501.
Caution Never mount the access point outdoors to be near an external antenna. The
access point must always be installed indoors.
1. Plan the Installation
Pigtail Cables - Use the coax pigtail cable attached to the antenna to
connect to the access point. Because most pigtail cables are a relatively short length (83 cm or 33 inches), be sure to find a suitable mounting position for the antenna that is not too far from the access point. If an extension cable is required, please contact a professional installer who is trained in RF installation and knowledgeable in the local regulations.
Installation Location - Plan the antenna’s position and orientation.
Warning The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio exposure
limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antennas should not be less than 25 cm (10 inches) during normal operation.
Consider these points:
Use the antenna’s mounting bracket or other hardware, if included.
For optimum performance, mount antennas as high as possible above
any obstructions, and away from any signal absorbing or reflecting structures (such as those containing metal)
Be sure there are no other radio antennas mounted within 2 m (6 ft).
Consider the antenna’s radio coverage pattern so that it can properly
cover the intended service area.
Omnidirectional Antennas - Consider these factors when selecting a
location for these antennas:
Always mount the antenna in a vertical orientation so that the radio
coverage pattern fills the intended horizontal space.

4-3
Using an External Antenna with the RSVLC-0501
Installation Procedures
For optimum coverage, mount the antenna at the center of the area
with a line-of-sight path to all points within the area.
Avoid mounting next to or near building support columns or other
obstructions that may cause reduced signal or null zones in parts of the coverage area.
When mounting outdoors using a mast, make sure that the antenna
extends beyond the top of the mast.
Directional Antennas - Consider these factors when selecting a location
for these antennas:
For optimum coverage, mount the antenna above any obstructions,
directed at the center of the coverage area sector.
High-gain directional antennas provide a flattened radio coverage
pattern in the horizontal plane. Use the tilting or articulated mounts to point the antennas towards the coverage area.
Outdoor Installation - When installing an antenna outdoors, be sure to
consider these additional factors:
Always place the antenna away from power and telephone lines
Make sure that the antenna, any supporting structure, and cables are
all properly grounded.
For lightning protection, consider using a lightning arrestor immedi-
ately before the cable enters the building.
Using an External Antenna
Warning Never install an antenna or construct a radio mast near overhead power lines.
2. Mount the Antenna
Install the antenna in its planned location using the brackets, clips, or other hardware included in the antenna package.
Refer to documentation included with the antenna for specific information and installation instructions.
3. Connect Pigtail Cables to the Access Point
Use the pigtail cables that are attached to the antenna, or are included in the antenna package. If an extension cable is required, please contact a profes­sional installer who is trained in RF install ation and knowledgeable in the local regulations.

4-4
Using an External Antenna with the RSVLC-0501
Installation Procedures
Note that diversity antennas have two pigtail cables. A diversity antenna includes two internal antenna elements that are identical. Both antenna pigtail cables must be connected to the access point for correct operation.
Other non-diversity antennas, which have only one pigtail cable, attach to the access point’s “Primary” antenna connector for the appropriate radio.
To connect pigtail cables to the access point, follow these steps:
1. Disable the access point radio using the web browser interface, CLI, or SNMP.
2. Remove power to the access point.
3. Remove the connector cover on the back of the access point.
4. For diversity antennas, connect the antenna pigtail cables to the exposed Reverse SMA connectors for the appropriate radio.
For non-diversity antennas, be sure to connect the single pigtail cable to the Reverse SMA connector labeled “Primary.”

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes how to troubleshoot your HP ProCurve RSVLC-0501. Note that this document describes troubleshooting mostly from a hardware perspective. You can perform more in-depth troubleshooting on the RSVLC­0501 using the software tools available with the access point, including the full-featured console interface and the built-in Web browser interface.
This chapter describes the following:
basic troubleshooting tips (page 5-1)
diagnosing with the LEDs (page 5-3)
proactive networking tools (page 5-5)
hardware diagnostic tests (page 5-6)
restoring customer and factory default configurations (page 5-8)
downloading new software to the RSVLC-0501 (page 5-10)
HP Customer Support Services (page 5-10)
Basic Troubleshooting Tips
Troubleshooting
Most problems are caused by the following situations. Check for these items first when starting your troubleshooting:
Connecting to devices that have a fixed full-duplex configuration.
By default, the RJ-45 port uses auto-negotiation to determine the duplex mode. That is, when connecting to attached devices, the access point will operate in one of two ways to determine the link speed and the commu­nication mode (half duplex or full duplex):
If the connected device is also configured to use auto-negotiation, the
access point will automatically negotiate both link speed and commu­nication mode.
If the connected device has a fixed configuration, for example
100 Mbps, at half or full duplex, the access point will automatically sense the link speed, but will default to a communication mode of half duplex.
5-1
Troubleshooting
Basic Troubleshooting Tips
Because the RSVLC-0501 behaves in this way (in compliance with the IEEE 802.3 standard), if a device connected to the access point has a
fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the access point. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient communications between the access point and the device.
All devices connected to the RSVLC-0501 should be configured to auto­negotiate. To correct this problem you have to manually set the access
Troubleshooting
point’s RJ-45 port to match the duplex mode used by the attached device.
Faulty or loose cables. Look for loose or obviously faulty connections.
If the cables appear to be OK, make sure the connections are secure. If that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.
Non-standard cables. Non-standard and miswired cables may cause
network collisions and other network problems, and can seriously impair network performance. Use a new correctly-wired cable or compare your cable to the cable in appendix B, “Access Point Port and Network Cables” for pinouts and correct cable wiring. A category 5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-TX network installation.
Improper Network Topologies. It is important to make sure you have
a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive cable length and excessive repeater delays between end nodes. If you have network problems after recent changes to the network, change back to the previous topology. If you no longer experience the problems, the new topology is probably at fault. Sample topologies are shown at the end of chapter 2 in this book, and some topology configuration guidelines can be found online at the HP ProCurve Web site, http://www.hp.com/rnd/ index.htm. under “network configuration examples.”
Mobile users cannot connect to the network. Make sure that the
access point and wireless clients are configured with compatible security settings. Check to ensure that the wireless client is within the maximum range supported by the access point. Also verify that the wireless client has been configured with an IP address compatible with the attached network, either manually or via DHCP.

Diagnostic Tips:
Tip Problem Solution
1 The access point
is not plugged into an active AC power source, or the access point’s AC power adapter may have failed.
1. Verify that the power cord is plugged into an active power source and to the access point's AC power adapter. Make sure these connections are secure.
2. Try power-cycling the access point by unplugging and plugging the power cord back in.
3. If the Power LED is still not on, verify that the AC power source works by plugging another device into the outlet. Or try plugging the access point into a different outlet or try a different power cord.
If the power source and power cord are OK and this condition persists, the access point’s AC power adapter may have failed. Call your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/ Warranty booklet for more information.

1. Verify that access point’s 10/100Base-TX port is attached to a PoE source device.
2. Verify that the PoE source device is powered on, and that the PoE function has been administratively enabled on the source port attached to the access point.
3. Refer to Tip 6 to verify that the network cable is functioning properly.
1. Try resetting the access point by pressing the Reset button on the back of the access point, or by power cycling the access point.
2. If the fault indication reoccurs, attach a console to the access point (as indicated in chapter 2). Then, reset the access point. Messages should appear on the console screen identifying the error condition. You can view the console log at that point using the Web browser interface. Select the Status tab, then Events Log, or view the entry file on your Syslog server if one is configured.
If necessary to resolve the problem, contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/ Warranty booklet for more information.
Verify that the wireless port has not been disabled through an access point configuration change. You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on the access point, use the Web browser interface to determine the state of the wireless port and re-enable the port if necessary. Also verify that the country code has been set.
Try the following procedures:
• Verify that both ends of the cabling, at the access point and the connected device, are connected properly.
• Verify the connected device and access point are both powered on and operating correctly.
• Verify duplex operation (see page 5-1).
• If these procedures don’t resolve the problem, try using a different cable.
6 The port may be
improperly configured.

reset the board and reload the factory default settings. See “Restoring Custom and Factory Default Configurations” on page 5-8.
Power-cycling the access point and pressing the Reset button both cause the access point to perform its power-on self test, which normally resolves any temporary operational problems. These reset processes also cause any network traffic counters to be reset to zero, and cause the System Up Time timer to reset to zero. Also, event log messages are erased, and the IP address may be changed if you are using DHCP.
5-6
Checking the Access Point’s LEDs
The self test passes if the Power LED on the front of the access point stops blinking after approximately 50 seconds. If this LED continues blinking longer than 60 seconds or goes off, there may be a problem with the access point.
See “Diagnosing with the LEDs” on page 5-3 for information on interpreting the LED patterns.
Checking Event Messages
Useful diagnostic messages may be displayed on the console screen when the access point is reset. As described in chapter 2 under step 7, “Connect a console to the access point,” connect a PC running a VT-100 terminal emulator program or a standard VT-100 terminal to the access point’s Console Port and configure it with the terminal communication settings shown on page 2-13.
Hardware Diagnostic Tests
Troubleshooting
Then, when you reset the access point, note the messages that are displayed. Additionally, you can check the access point’s event log, which can be accessed from the Web browser or a Syslog server.
Testing Twisted-Pair Cabling
Network cables that fail to provide a link or provide an unreliable link between the access point and the connected network device may not be compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, or 100Base-TX standards. The twisted-pair cables attached to the RSVLC-0501 must be compatible with the appropriate standards. To verify that your cable is compatible with these standards, use a qualified cable test device.
Testing Access Point-to-Device Network Communications
You can perform the following communication tests to verify that the network is operating correctly between the access point and any connected device that can respond correctly to the communication test.
Ping Test -- a network layer test used on IP networks that sends test
packets to any device identified by its IP address
Troubleshooting
These tests can be performed through the access point’s console interface from a terminal connected to the access point or through a Telnet or Secure Shell connection. For more information, see the Management and Configu- ration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your access point.
Testing End-to-End Network Communications
Both the access point and the cabling can be tested by running an end-to-end communications test -- a test that sends known data from one network device to another through the access point. You can run a Ping test to verify that the entire communication path between the two network devices is functioning correctly.

Note Restoring factory defaults removes all access point configuration changes that
necessary to return the access point’s configuration to custom or factory default settings. This process momentarily interrupts the access point’s oper­ation, clears the console event log, resets the network counters to zero, performs a complete self test, and reboots the access point. If restoring a custom default configuration, some basic settings, such as a Manager pass­word and IP address, may be retained. When restoring the factory default configuration, all settings are cleared, including the Manager password and any IP address.
you have made from the factory default settings. This includes, for example, IP addresses, and radio interface settings. Returning the configuration of these features to their factory default settings may result in network connectivity issues.
If the access point has a valid configuration, and you are restoring the factory default settings for a reason other than configuration problems, you should save the access point configuration prior to performing the factory default reset. Then, after the reset and resolution of the original problem, you can restore the saved configuration to the access point. For both the save and restore processes, you can use the console copy command. For more informa­tion on this command, see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your access point.
You can restore a custom or factory default configuration either from the access point itself, or through the access point console.
Note The system, password, custom default, and factory default reset functions can
be disabled by the access point’s software. For more information, see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your access point.
To reset the access point configuration back to custom defaults, perform these steps:
1. Press the reset and clear buttons simultaneously.

The access point includes one 10/100Base-TX port. This port uses the “HP Auto MDIX” feature, which means that you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect the access point to a switch.
Other Wiring Rules:
All twisted-pair wires used for 10 Mbps, and 100 Mbps operation must be
twisted through the entire length of the cable. The wiring sequence must conform to EIA/TIA 568-B (not USOC). See “Twisted-Pair Cable Pin Assignments” later in this appendix for a listing of the signals used on each pin.
For 10 Mbps connections to the ports, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5
unshielded twisted-pair cable, as supported by the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T standard.
For 100 Mbps connections to the ports, use 100-ohm Category 5 UTP or
STP cable only, as supported by the IEEE 802.3u Type 100Base-TX stan­dard.
To provide Power over Ethernet to the access point, all 4 pairs must be
connected for any network cable attached to this port; the cable must meet ISO/DIS 11801 Class D requirements and IEEE 802.3af requirements.
