About this guide

This guide provides the following information for MSM Access Points (APs):

Hardware overview

Safety and regulatory information

Installation procedure

For those using an AP in autonomous mode, an initial configuration procedure is also

provided. This procedure is unnecessary for those using an AP in its factory-default

controlled mode.

For APs used in autonomous mode, see the MSM3xx / MSM4xx Access Points

Management and Configuration Guide.

For APs used in controlled mode, see Working with controlled APs in the MSM7xx

Controllers Management and Configuration Guide.

These guides are available as described in Online documentation on page 1-5 at end of this

chapter.

Products covered

This guide provides autonomous-mode information for the following MSM3xx and MSM4xx

Access Points (“WW” identifies worldwide versions for the rest of the world):

Information for the above three APs is primarily provided in the E-MSM430, E-MSM460, and

E-MSM466 802.11n Access Points Quickstart. See also Regulatory information on page 9-1

for information applicable to these APs.

Introduction

About this guide

1-3

The product models in the table immediately above include alternative product names in

parenthesis. For example, the MSM422 is also known as the E-MSM422. Both names refer to

the same product. Except for E-MSM430, E-MSM460, and E-MSM466, the original MSM

product names (without “E-”) are used throughout this document.

Controlled mode and autonomous mode

MSM APs can operate in one of two modes: controlled mode (default) or autonomous mode.

Controlled mode

When operating in controlled mode, APs are managed by a MSM7xx controller. 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.

The controller manages the AP and provides all configuration settings, making it easy to

enforce consistent security and QoS policies, and automate AP configuration to minimize

deployment and operation costs.

Autonomous mode

When operating in autonomous mode, APs are managed individually using their integrated

web-based management tool. This mode is suited to small scale deployments that can benefit

from easy integration of wireless services into an existing network infrastructure.

Autonomous APs do not provide the benefits of centralized management and monitoring.

An autonomous AP can be used to create a wireless extension to an existing network and

provide intelligent data-forwarding that maintains the security of the network.

Important terms

The following terms are used in this guide.

MSM335 (E-MSM335) J9357A/B J9356A/B

Term Description

AP or MSM AP Refers to any HP MSM3xx or MSM4xx Access Point. Specific model

references are used where appropriate.

Controller Refers to any HP MSM7xx Controller, including both Access Controller

and Mobility Controller variants.
