Ports
The AP has a single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port with weatherproof RJ-45 connector. Power over
Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af is used to power the AP.
The MSM310-R/MSM320-R is a ruggedized version of the MSM310/MSM320 and shares the
same feature set. However, due to its weatherproof enclosure, Ethernet Port 2, the status lights,
and the reset button are not available.
6 Preparing for installation

Radio and antenna
The MSM310-R has a single radio, with two antennas for diversity.
The MSM320-R has two radios, each with two antennas for diversity.
Important information to read before installing
It is strongly recommended that you work with the AP and confirm its operation before installing
it outdoors.
Professional installation required
WARNING! Prior to 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. It
is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that installation and use comply with local safety and
radio regulations.
Surge protection and grounding
WARNING! Make sure that proper lightning surge protection and grounding precautions are
taken according to local electrical code. Failure to do so may 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 the appropriate cables, and where applicable, surge protection, for your given
region. For compliance with EN55022 Class-B emissions requirements, use shielded Ethernet
cables. Cat 5e (or better) cabling is required.
Country of use
CAUTION: In some regions, you are prompted to select the country of use during setup. Once
the country has been set, the AP will automatically limit the available wireless channels, ensuring
compliant operation in the selected country. Entering the incorrect country may result in illegal
operation and may cause harmful interference to other systems.
External antennas
CAUTION: When using an external antenna, 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, consult the
Antenna Power-Level Setting Guide (for MSM Products) available from www.hp.com/support/
manuals. Search by antenna product name or number.
To set the radio power transmission level for controlled access points see Transmit power control
in the MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide. For autonomous access points, see Transmit
power control in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx APs Configuration Guide.
Important information to read before installing 7

Safety
Take note of the following safety information during installation.
•If your network covers an area served by more than one power distribution system, be sure
all safety grounds are securely interconnected.
•Network cables may 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.
•The AP is powered-on when the Ethernet port is plugged into a PoE power source.
Resetting to factory defaults
The easiest way to reset the AP to factory defaults is with its management tool. When management
tool access is unavailable (forgotten password or IP address, for example), follow the procedure
Resetting to factory defaults in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx APs Configuration Guide.
8 Preparing for installation

2 Installation
Antenna position
The antenna flaps can be adjusted to optimize radio performance. Start with the following positions,
then adjust as needed. (See also the MSM310-R/MSM320-R Antenna Technical Note available
with the other online documentation.)
WARNING! The AP must be installed with the antennas pointing straight up. Damage caused
by water ingress through the RJ-45 connector as a result of the AP; being improperly installed or
the improper assembly or attachment of the weatherproof RJ-45 connector, is not covered by the
warranty.
WARNING! Corrosive damage caused by salt fog is not covered by the warranty.
The AP is typically interconnected with other equipment as follows (only the antennas and
weatherproof RJ-45 connector are supplied with the AP):
1

2
4 5
6
AP topology
4: Broadband router1: Internet
5: Broadband modem2: Ethernet surge suppressor
6: Indoors3: PoE Injector
WARNING! This is a general procedure. It is the installer's responsibility to perform the installation
according to local electrical code and regulations.
Step 1: Plan the installation
Identify a suitable install location. The AP has a NEMA 4 rating and is unsuitable for installation
in a salt fog environment. Local electrical and building codes and regional regulations will dictate
many aspects of your installation. It is recommended that you perform transmission and reception
tests at a proposed location before installing. In some cases it may be desirable to install remote
antennas, off the body of the AP.
You will have to provide an effective earth ground for the AP, at least one of its antenna surge
suppressors, and the Ethernet surge suppressor. It is rarely sufficient to use a metal pole for any
equipment grounding. You will also need to decide how to route the Ethernet cable from the building
to the AP.
Antenna position 9

Step 2: Install cabling
According to your needs and local electrical codes and regulations, run grounding wires and
Ethernet cable to where the AP will be installed. For the Ethernet cable, allow for an extra 0.6
meters (two feet) for connector attachment and drip loops. In addition, allow for an extra 1.2
meters (four feet) of cable for the Ethernet surge suppressor.
Step 3: Prepare the weatherproof Ethernet cable
To provide a weatherproof seal, the Ethernet port on the AP uses a custom weatherproof cable
connector (supplied). You must terminate your Ethernet cable with this connector as described in
the following procedure. Cable length should not exceed 91 meters (300 feet).
CAUTION: Ruggedized Ethernet cables must be used for outdoor cable runs.
1. Carefully unpack the nine quick-disconnect items from the plastic bag, identifying all parts as
illustrated. If any parts are missing, DO NOT proceed until you get a replacement parts kit.

7: RJ-45 plug4: Gasket1: Sealing nut
8: RJ-45 Gaskets5: Screw nut2: Seal
6: Body3: Clamp ring
5 6 7 84321
2. If your Ethernet cable already has an RJ-45 connector on the end that will connect to the HP
equipment, remove the RJ-45 connector by cutting the cable at least 1.2 cm (.5 inch) before
the RJ-45 connector. Be sure to make a clean cut with a pair of sharp angle cutters. The
complete cut (through both the cable sheath and all wires) must occur in a single cutting motion.
3. Hold Clamp Ring (3) horizontally, with its fingers to the left. Insert the Seal (2) into the fingers
on the left end so that it is flush with the end of the fingers. Insert the Gasket (4) into the right
end, pushing it against the ridge at the end of the threads. The Gasket is beveled on one side.
The beveled side should face inwards away from the Screw Nut.
4. Thread the Sealing Nut (1) onto the left end of the Clamp Ring (3). Tighten it only enough for
it to stay attached.
5. Hold the Screw Nut (5) vertically, with the open threads facing up, and drop the Body (6) into
it, with the RJ-45 connector opening facing up.
6. Hold the Clamp Ring (3) vertically below the Screw Nut/Body items and screw the Body into
the threads on the Clamp Ring (3). Tighten it only enough to stay attached. Note that the
Screw Nut (5) remains loose on the Body (6).
7. Remove the white backing paper from one of the RJ-45 Gaskets (8) and press the glued side
onto the Body (6) being very careful to align the gasket with the RJ-45 connector shape on
the Body (6).
8. Remove the backing paper from the second RJ-45 Gasket (8) and press it over the first one,
being sure to maintain alignment.
9. Tighten the threads between Body (6) and Clamp Ring (3) by hand. DO NOT tighten between
Clamp Ring (3) and Sealing Nut (1). Do not over tighten. Do not tighten with tools.
The quick-disconnect assembly should now look like this when held horizontally, with the
Sealing Nut (1) at the left end, and the Screw Nut (5) over the Body (6) on the right.
10 Installation

10. Carefully thread the cleanly-cut end of the Ethernet cable through the Sealing Nut (1) end of
the quick-disconnect assembly, and push through approximately 30 cm (1 foot) of cable.
NOTE: The next two steps should be performed by someone with experience building Ethernet
cables.
11. Prepare the cable and attach it to the RJ-45 Plug (7) according to the directions included with
your crimping tool.
12. Before continuing, test the cable with a portable Ethernet cable tester to ensure that the RJ-45
plug (7) is correctly connected.
13. Carefully pull the cable slack back through the quick-disconnect assembly until the RJ-45 Plug
(7) is almost touching the Body (6). Adjust the cable position so that the RJ-45 Plug (7) fits
precisely into the RJ-45 cutout in the Body (6), and press down the plastic tab so the plug fits
correctly.
14. Tighten the threads between Sealing Nut (1) and Clamp Ring (3) by hand, until the cable is
firmly anchored. Do not over tighten. Do not tighten with tools.
Step 4: Install the AP
1. Mount the AP on a wall or pole using the supplied brackets so that the antennas are pointing
up. Local electrical and building codes will dictate many installation aspects.
2. Attach the supplied grounding lug (through the bracket) to one of the lower screw holes on
the AP body, and attach a grounding wire with the set screw.
(See figure in sub-step 4 below: "Grounded body (via grounding lug).")
3. Manually screw on antenna surge suppressors to the antenna connectors on top of the AP.
Position the gas tube covers so that they can be removed for future tube replacement. Attach
the two supplied antennas.
NOTE: If installing an optional HP antenna, first attach the lightning arrester to the AP, attach
the antenna adapter to the arrester, then attach the antenna connector to the adapter. See
also the antenna documentation.
4. Attach a grounding wire to at least one of the antenna surge suppressors. For the model
shown, remove the crimp connector, crimp it to the wire, and then screw the crimp connector
back onto the surge suppressor.
Grounded body (via grounding lug)Grounded surge suppressor
5. Create a drip loop in the Ethernet cable below the AP. A drip loop provides additional
protection against water running down the Ethernet cable and into the connector. Form the
Step 4: Install the AP 11

loop as shown here. Make sure that the distance between the loop start and end points is at
least 15 cm (6 inches), and that the cable hangs down at least 25 cm (10 inches).

6. (See illustration Weatherproof connector parts (page 10).) Mate the RJ-45 Plug (G) with the
socket on the AP, hold it firmly in place, and tighten the Screw Nut (E) by hand. Do not over
tighten. Do not tighten with tools.
7. Install an Ethernet surge suppressor as close as possible to the AP, ideally within .6 meters
(two feet). This helps reduce the effects of any charge carried by the cable to the AP. Install
this Ethernet surge suppressor between the AP and the PoE power source.
The Ethernet cable will typically need to be cut and have the cable end coming from the PoE
injector connected to the Ethernet surge suppressor input (Line) and have the cable end coming
from the AP connected to the Ethernet surge suppressor output (Equipment). Follow the
instructions included with the Ethernet surge suppressor. Include a drip loop for both the input
and output cables. Connect a grounding wire to the Ethernet surge suppressor.
Powering the AP
The AP can be powered by:
•A 10/100 or 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled switch. PoE-enabled switches are available from
HP.
•An HP 1-Port Power Injector (J9407A).
12 Installation

3 Initially Configuring (Autonomous mode)
About controlled mode and autonomous mode
The AP can operate in one of two modes: controlled (the default) or autonomous. Switching modes
resets all configuration settings to factory defaults.
•Controlled mode: To become operational, the AP must establish a management tunnel with
an MSM7xx Controller. The controller manages the AP and provides all configuration settings.
Discovery of the controller is automatic if default settings are used on the AP and the controller,
and both devices are on the same subnet. See Working with controlled APs in the MSM7xx
Controllers Configuration Guide.
•Autonomous mode: After being switched to autonomous mode, the AP operates as a stand-alone
AP. You configure and manage an autonomous AP by using its Web-based management tool
as described in “Initial configuration (autonomous mode)” (page 13).
Initial configuration (autonomous mode)
This procedure describes how to switch a factory-default AP to autonomous mode and then perform
its initial configuration that enables you to establish a wireless connection through the AP to the
Internet.
In autonomous mode, the AP is managed via its Web-based management tool as described in this
section. This requires at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 8+ or Mozilla Firefox 3+.
For controlled mode configuration, see Working with controlled APs in the MSM7xx Controllers
Configuration Guide.
CAUTION: Wireless protection: A factory-default AP that has been switched to autonomous mode
has wireless protection options disabled. It is recommended that after initial configuration, you
enable a wireless security option to properly safeguard the wireless network from intruders. See
Wireless protection in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx APs Configuration Guide.
NOTE: Do not power-on the AP until directed.
Step 1: Configure your computer
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. Disable any wireless connection on your computer.
Step 2: Connect the cables and power on the AP
1. Connect the cables:
•If using a PoE switch, use Ethernet cables to connect your computer and the AP to an
unused factory-default PoE switch.
•If using a PoE injector, use a cross-over cable to connect your computer to the data-in
port on the PoE injector and the AP to the data and power-out port on the PoE injector.
2. Power on the AP by powering on the PoE switch or injector.
Step 3: Switch the AP to autonomous mode
NOTE: A factory-default AP is assumed.
1. In a Web browser, enter the address: https://192.168.1.1.
About controlled mode and autonomous mode 13

2. A security certificate warning is displayed the first time you connect to the management tool.
This is normal. Select whatever option is needed in your Web browser to continue to the
management tool.
3. On the Login page, specify admin for both Username and Password, and then select Login.
The management tool home page opens.
4. Select Switch to Autonomous Mode and confirm the change. The AP restarts in autonomous
mode.
NOTE: To avoid a delay after switching modes, clear the ARP (address resolution protocol) cache
on your computer. In Windows for example, from the Windows Start menu, select Run and enter
"arp -d" (without the quotes). Select OK.
Step 4: Log in
1. Wait approximately 90 seconds.
2. On the Login page, specify admin for both Username and Password, and then select Login.
3. Click through the prompts for License and Registration.
4. In some regions, a Country prompt appears. Select the country in which the AP will operate.
The correct country must be selected. See “Country of use” (page 7).
5. At the password prompt it is recommended that you change the default password and select
Save. New passwords must be at least six characters long and include four different characters.
The management tool is organized with menus and sub-menus. Instructions for making menu
selections, such as "select Wireless > Local mesh" instruct you to select the Wireless menu and then
the Local mesh sub-menu, as follows:
Main menu
Sub-menu
Step 5: Configure basic wireless protection
It is recommended that you at least configure basic wireless protection. See Wireless protection
in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx APs Configuration Guide. To configure basic WPA protection:
1. Select VSC > HP and then enable Wireless protection and set it to WPA.
2. Under Mode, select WPA or WPA2, then under Key source, select Preshared key and specify
a key of at least 20 characters. Select Save.
Step 6: Assign an IP address to the AP
By default, the AP operates as a DHCP client. This means that if the network has a DHCP server,
the AP will automatically receive a new IP address in place of its default address of 192.168.1.1
upon connecting to the network. Use one of the following methods to assign an IP address to the
AP:
•Pre-configure the DHCP server to assign a specific IP address to the AP. To do this you need
to specify the AP Ethernet MAC address and a reserved IP address on the DHCP server. The
AP Ethernet MAC address is printed on the AP label identified as Ethernet Base MAC, and
listed on the management tool Home page as Ethernet base MAC address.
•Let the DHCP server automatically assign an IP address. By default, the DHCP server will assign
an IP address once the AP connects to the network. Once the DHCP server has assigned an
IP address to the AP, you can then find the IP address of the AP by looking for its Ethernet
14 Initially Configuring (Autonomous mode)

base MAC address in the DHCP server log. For example after sub-step 4 below, you could
go to the DHCP server log to retrieve the IP address assigned to the AP.
•Assign a static IP address to the AP. The address must be on the same subnet as the network
to which the AP will connect.
1. Select Network > DNS, and set the DNS server address. Select Save.
2. Select Network > Ports > Bridge port.
3. Select Static and then Configure. Configure settings as follows:
•IP address: Set an address that is on the same subnet as the network to which the
AP will connect once installed. Respect any DHCP server-mandated static address
ranges.
•Mask: Set the corresponding mask for the IP address.
•Default gateway: Set the IP address of the gateway on the network.
4. Select Save. Connection to the management tool is lost.
Step 7: Test the wireless network
For the purposes of this example, the network must have a DHCP server and an Internet connection.
Broadband routers typically include a DHCP server.
1. Disconnect your computer from the PoE switch or injector.
2. Power off the AP by disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the AP.
3. Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the switch or the data in port of the injector to the
network.
4. Reconnect and power on the AP. Use a standard Ethernet cable to reconnect the AP to the
PoE switch or the data and power-out port of the injector.
5. Enable the wireless network interface on your computer, and verify that it is set to obtain an
IP address automatically.
6. By default, the AP creates a wireless network named HP. Connect your computer to this wireless
network, specifying the preshared key you set earlier in “Step 5: Configure basic wireless
protection” (page 14).
7. Confirm that you can browse the Internet using the wireless network.
Step 8: Perform additional configuration
Configure your computer LAN port and connect it to the same network as the AP. Re-launch the
AP management tool at https://<IP address> where <IP address> is the AP IP address from “Step
6: Assign an IP address to the AP” (page 14).
To enable access to other resources
By default, the AP only permits traffic that is addressed to the default gateway on the network
(which enables you to connect to the Internet). To enable access to other resources:
1. Select VSC > Profiles and then select the HP profile.
2. On the Add/Edit Virtual Service Community page clear the Wireless security filters checkbox.
3. Select Save.
