HP M330 Dual Radio 802.11ac Access Point Quick Start Guide 3 Initial configuration
Mounting on a wall
When mounting the M330 on a wall, ensure that the surface to which you attach
the M330 and the fasteners you use can support at least 0.9 kg (2 lb). Allow
extra weight for cables.
The M330 mounting bracket has four screw holes that can be used for wall
mounting. If you are mounting the M330 on a wall, do not attach the rubber
feet.
1. On the wall where the M330 will be installed, hold the mounting bracket
against the wall and mark four holes for the screws (wall anchors).
Note: Wall anchors are not needed when mounting on wooden walls.
2. Drill four holes for the wall anchors, typically 4.7 mm (3/16 inch) in
diameter, and then insert the anchors and tap them flush with the wall
surface.
3. Use the mounting screws to attach the mounting bracket to the wall.
4. Align the four tab slots on the back of the M330 with the four tabs on the
mounting bracket.
5. Slide the M330 onto the mounting bracket until it is fully engaged. Do
not let go of the M330 until you confirm that it is firmly in place.
Mounting on a ceiling T-bar
When mounting the M330 on a ceiling T-bar, use the included mounting bracket
together with the appropriate size T-bar clip. There are two T-bar clips included,
9/16 inch and 15/16 inch.

HP M330 Dual Radio 802.11ac Access Point Quick Start Guide 4 Initial configuration
The M330 is managed through its web-based management interface using
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or later, Google Chrome v29 or later, or Mozilla
Firefox v24 or later.
The M330 defaults to being a DHCP client, meaning it gets its IP address from
the DHCP server on your network. Although letting your M330 get its IP
address automatically from your DHCP server is the recommended process,
you can choose to configure your M330 with a static IP address instead. See
Static IP configuration on page 6.
To work with your M330 using a DHCP-assigned IP address:
A. Connect cables and power on the M330
1. Connect the cables:
• If using a PoE switch, connect an Ethernet cable from the M330 to a
PoE/PoE+ powered switch port.
• If using an AC/DC adapter, connect it to the power connector on the
M330. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the M330 to a network switch
port.
• If using a PoE injector, use Ethernet cables to connect a network
switch port to the data-in port of the PoE injector and the M330 to the
data and power-out port of the PoE injector.
2. Initially, the M330 power LED is orange. Wait approximately one minute
until it turns green before proceeding to the next step.
B. Determine the IP address of the M330
The DHCP server may be standalone or part of your router. Note the MAC
address printed on the label affixed to the M330, typically labeled simply as
MAC (MAC addresses are in the form of a string of 12 characters made up of
numbers and letters) and then search for this address in your DHCP server log/
client list. Take note of the indicated IP address. (IPv4 addressing is assumed,
with addresses in the form of 4 numbers separated by periods like 192.168.1.1)
C. Connect to the management interface and log in
1. In a web browser running on a computer connected to the same network
as the M330, browse to the M330 management interface at
http://<your M330 IP address>
2. On the Login page, specify admin for both Username and Password,
and then select Login.
Note: HP recommends that you change the default password on the System >
Admin page and select Save. Passwords must be at least six characters
long and include four different characters.
3. On the License Agreement page, read the agreement and select Accept
HP End User License Agreement.
4. A Country prompt appears. Select the country in which the M330 is
operating, and then click Save.
Caution: To ensure compliance, you must select the correct country.
See Country of use on page 2.
The M330 management interface wizard home page opens.
D. Use the wizard to set up the M330
The first time you log in to the management interface (and after a factory default
reset), the Quickly set up the M330 page is automatically presented. The default
selection Recommend wireless network settings based upon your network
environment enables you to you choose a typical network environment.
Select the environment that most closely resembles your network, and then
make the appropriate settings.

HP M330 Dual Radio 802.11ac Access Point Quick Start Guide 5 Initial configuration
This procedure uses the first option, Basic wireless network as an example.
Select Basic wireless network, and then Save.
The Quick setup - Basic wireless network page is divided into three sections:
Step 1, Step 2,and Step 3.
1. Step 1: Specify access point settings.
• Get an IP address
IPv4 and IPv6 addressing are both available on the M330. Click the +
symbol to the left of IPv4 or IPv6 to expand their respective settings.
For this example, IPv4 DHCP is selected. With IP configuration set to
DHCP, the M330 operates as a DHCP client, automatically obtaining an
IP address from a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found, the
default IP address 192.168.1.1 is used.
Note: For IPv6, see the HP M330 Dual Radio 802.11ac Access Point
Configuration/Administration Guide.
• Change administrator login credentials
To secure access to the M330 management interface, HP strongly
recommends that you change its password. For Current password
enter admin. For New password and Confirm password specify the
same new password. Passwords must be from 1 to 32 alphanumeric
characters without special characters or spaces. Passwords are case
sensitive. HP recommends that new passwords be at least six
characters long.
Note: If you leave the password fields blank, no change is made.
2. Step 2: Specify access point cluster settings
Up to 16 M330 APs can be grouped into a cluster to simplify
configuration of multiple APs and to provide basic channel management
within the cluster. For full clustering information, see the HP M330 Dual
Radio 802.11ac Access Point Configuration/Administration Guide.
To set up this M330 as the first AP in a cluster, set Clustering to Enabled ,
specify a
Cluster name (the same name must be used for all members of
the cluster), optionally specify a
Cluster location, and set the Cluster IP
version to either IPv4 or IPv6.
On each additional M330 to be added to this cluster, at initial power on
select the
Quickly set up the M330 option: Add to wireless network with
existing AP cluster
, and specify the matching Cluster name and Cluster
IP version
.

HP M330 Dual Radio 802.11ac Access Point Quick Start Guide 6 Static IP configuration
3. Step 3: Specify wireless network settings
• Configure the radio and Wireless mode
For this example, select Radio 1 (2.4 GHz band) and the
IEEE 802.11b/g/n mode. Select Radio 2 (5 GHz band) to confgure
802.11ac modes.
• Identify the wireless network
Specify a Network name (SSID) to uniquely identify the wireless
network. This name is broadcast, enabling users to select it from the
network list presented on their device. The name is case-sensitive.
• Secure the wireless network
Choose the Security method that will be used to protect wireless
transmissions. Because this example procedure is for a Basic wireless
network, only WPA Personal is available. Although included, Disabled
is NOT recommended.
Select the WPA version for security. In this example, a setting of
WPA2 (AES) is selected and a Key is entered for the network security.
This key will be required to be entered when someone connects to this
wireless network. Specify and confirm a key of 8 to 63 alphanumeric
characters. HP recommends that the key be at least 20 characters
long and contain a mix of letters and numbers. For information on
other wireless security settings, see the HP M330 802.11ac Access
Point Configuration/Administration Guide.
4. Completing Quick Setup
When all settings for Steps 1 through 3 are complete, select Save. When
prompted to confirm the update, select OK.
E. Test the wireless connection
1. From any wireless client, such as a phone or tablet, find and connect to
the M330 wireless network. The SSID name is “HP1_2G” in this
example.
2. When prompted, enter the wireless security key for the network, as
configured in section D, step 3.
3. Confirm that you can browse the Internet from the wireless client.
Static IP configuration
If you will not be using DHCP to automatically assign an IP address to the
M330, you can configure it at its default IP address of 192.168.1.1. The
following example shows how to connect the M330 directly to a computer for
configuration purposes.
1. Disconnect your computer LAN port and configure it to use a static IP
address in the range 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254, and a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0. Set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1, and DNS
server to 192.168.1.1.
2. Connect the LAN port on your computer to the Ethernet port on the
M330.
3. Power on the M330 by plugging in the AC/DC adapter.
4. Browse to the M330 management interface at http://192.168.1.1, log in,
and then run the wizard to set up the M330. See sections C and D on
page 4.
