Safety and Regulatory Information
Protection equipment needed
In addition to the items supplied with the AP, protection
equipment is required according to your electrical
code. Consult the respective Antenna Guide (available
online, search by antenna part number), including the
Lightning Arrester section for important safety
information and instructions. Although the AP includes
a built-in Ethernet surge suppressor, HP strongly
recommends that you add an Ethernet surge suppressor
where the Ethernet cable enters the building.
Important information to read before installing
WARNING: Professional installation is required.
For outdoor or indoor installation. 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, outdoor/indoor restrictions,
and license requirements for the intended country. It
is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that
installation and use complies with local safety and
radio regulations.
Surge protection and grounding: When connecting
antennas installed outdoors to the AP, make sure that
proper lightning surge protection and grounding
precautions are taken according to local electrical
code. Failure to do so can 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. Lightening Arresters (J8996A) are available
from HP. One arrester is required for each antenna
connector (total of 6).
Cabling: You must use Cat 5e (or better) cables, and
where applicable for your region, surge protection.
Country of use: In some regions, you are prompted to
select the country of use during setup. After the country
has been set, the AP automatically limits the available
wireless channels, ensuring compliant operation in the
selected country. Entering the incorrect country can
result in illegal operation and can cause harmful
interference to other systems.
Safety: Consider the following safety information
during installation:
•If your network covers an area served by more
than one power distribution system, make sure all
safety grounds are securely interconnected.
•Network cables are 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 connected to a PoE
power source.
Powering the AP
IMPORTANT: Typically, the AP requires 802.3af
power; however, for operation below -20°C (-4°F),
802.3at power is required to activate the integrated
heater. The AP automatically detects the type of PoE
source and turns on the heater only when 802.3at
power is detected and heating is required. When first
powered on at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) (with
either power source), it can take a few minutes for the
AP to heat up internally before it becomes fully
operational.
The AP can be powered by:
•A 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled (802.3af or
802.3at) switch. Various PoE-enabled switches
are available from HP.
•HP 1-Port 802.3af Gig PoE Power Injector
(J9407B).
•HP 1-Port 802.3at Gig PoE Power Injector
(JD054A).
CAUTION: If the AP will be powered by a user-supplied
PoE power injector, use only a gigabit-compatible
power injector. PoE injectors designed for 10/100
networks only are not compatible with the AP.
Installation
Identify a suitable installation location. The AP is IP67
and NEMA 4X rated, providing protection against
water intrusion and salt fog damage. Local electrical
and building codes and regional regulations dictate
many aspects of your installation. HP recommends that
you test transmission and reception at the proposed
location before installing.
You must provide an effective earth ground for the AP.
It is rarely sufficient to use a metal pole for equipment
Page 2

grounding. To ensure safety and electrical protection,
you must decide how to route the Ethernet cable from
the building to the AP.
Preparing 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 must not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Spare weatherproof cable connectors are available
from HP (5066-1705).
CAUTION: Ruggedized Ethernet cables must be used
for outdoor cable runs.
The image key references (numbers in parentheses) in
the following procedure reference Figure 2 (page 3).

1. Carefully unpack the nine weatherproof connector
items from the plastic bag, identifying all parts as
illustrated. If any parts are missing, do not
proceed. Contact HP support to request a
replacement parts kit.
2. If your Ethernet cable already has an RJ-45
connector on the end that will connect to the AP,
remove the RJ-45 connector by cutting the cable
at least 1.2 cm (.5 inch) from 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. Prepare the clamp ring:
a. Hold the clamp ring (3) horizontally, with its
fingers to the left.
b. Insert the seal (2) into the fingers side until it
is flush with the end of the fingers.
c. The gasket (4) is beveled on one side. Insert
the gasket (4) into the right end of the clamp
ring, beveled side facing to the left, pushing
it against the ridge at the end of the threads.
The beveled side should face away from the
screw nut (5).
4. Thread the sealing nut (1) onto the left end of the
clamp ring (3). Tighten it only enough 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 (6) 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), carefully align the gasket (8)
with the RJ-45 connector shape on the body (6),
and press the glued side onto 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. Hand tighten the threads between body (6) and
clamp ring (3).
CAUTION: Do not tighten between clamp ring (3)
and sealing nut (1). Do not over tighten. Do not
tighten with tools.
The connector assembly should now look like
Figure 3 (page 3) when held horizontally, with
the sealing nut at the left end, and the screw nut
over the body on the right.
Figure 3 Weatherproof connector assembly
10. Carefully thread the cleanly-cut end of the Ethernet
cable through the sealing nut (1) end of the
connector 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
connector 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. Hand tighten the threads between sealing nut (1)
and clamp ring (3), until the cable is firmly
anchored.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten. Do not tighten
with tools.
Installing cabling
According to your needs and local electrical codes
and regulations, run Ethernet cabling, body ground
wire, and any separate grounding wires as needed
for antenna lightning arresters as described in the
respective antenna guide, to where the AP will be
installed. For the Ethernet cable, allow for an extra
0.6 meters (2 feet) for connector attachment and drip
loops. Install an Ethernet surge suppressor (not
supplied) according to its instructions at the location
where the Ethernet cable enters the building. This might
not be necessary if the outdoor cable run is very short;
for example, when the AP is mounted on an outdoor
wall. The AP includes a built-in Ethernet surge
suppressor for its end of the Ethernet cable.
Mounting the AP
The AP can be mounted on a pole or on a wall.
Pole installation
IMPORTANT: The AP and antennas can be mounted
on a pole with a diameter of 32 to 57 mm (1.25 to
2.25 inches). The pole must be capable of supporting
the AP and antennas at the maximum anticipated wind
loading.
1. Locate the AP mounting bracket. See
Figure 4 (page 4). Note that the four screw holes
(1) are not used for pole mounting, only wall

Controllers
The AP is typically used with one of these controller
families:
•HP MSM710, MSM720, MSM760, MSM765zl
•HP 10500/7500, HP 830,
nl
HP WX5002/WX5004
NOTE: Both controller families cannot coexist on the
same network. HP 10500/7500, HP 830, and HP
WX5002/WX5004 Controllers are not compatible
with HP MSM7xx Controllers.
Optionally, the AP can run as a standalone AP in
autonomous mode. For more information, see “Using
autonomous mode” (page 8).
Using controllers
To become operational, the AP must establish a
management tunnel with a controller. The controller
manages the AP and provides all configuration
settings. When power is applied, the AP establishes
a connection to the controller automatically if default
settings are used on the AP and the controller, and
both devices are on the same subnet. No further
configuration is required.
After the discovery process is complete, and the AP
has established a secure management tunnel to the
controller, the Power LED remains on and the Ethernet
and Radio LEDs flash to indicate the presence of traffic.
For more information about using the AP with MSM7xx
Controllers, see “Working with controlled APs” in the
MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide. For more
information about using the AP with HP 10500/7500,
HP 830 or WX5002/WX5004 Controllers, see the

Using autonomous mode
In autonomous mode, the AP operates as a standalone
AP. This chapter describes how to set an AP to
autonomous mode, and then perform its initial
configuration and establish a wireless connection
through the AP to the Internet.
CAUTION: A factory-default AP that has been switched
to autonomous mode has wireless protection options
disabled. HP recommends that after the initial
configuration, you enable a wireless security option
to properly safeguard the wireless network from
intruders. For more information, see “Wireless
protection” in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx APs
Configuration Guide.
In autonomous mode, the AP is managed via its
web-based management tool using Microsoft Internet
Explorer 8 or later or Mozilla Firefox 9.0.1 or later.
Configuring your computer
1. Disconnect your computer LAN port and configure
it as follows:
•Set a static IP address in the range
192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
•Set a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
•Set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1.
•Set the DNS server to 192.168.1.1.
2. Disable any wireless connection on your
computer.
Connecting the cables and powering 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 Ethernet cables
to connect your computer to the data in port
of the PoE injector and the AP to the data
and power out port of the PoE injector.
2. Power on the AP by powering on the PoE switch
or injector. Initially, the AP Power LED flashes
once every two seconds. Wait approximately a
minute until it begins flashing once per second
before proceeding to the next section.
Switching the AP to autonomous mode
NOTE: A factory-default AP is assumed.
1. In a web browser on the computer connected to
the AP, enter the address: https://192.168.1.1.
2. A security certificate warning appears the first
time you connect to the management tool. 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 AP management tool home page opens.
4. Select Switch to Autonomous Mode, and confirm
the change.
The AP restarts in autonomous mode.

3. Select Save.
For more information, see “Wireless protection” in the
MSM3xx / MSM4xx APs Configuration Guide.
Assigning 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
automatically receives 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:
•Preconfigure the DHCP server to assign a specific
IP address to the AP. To do this you must 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 LAN 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 assigns an
IP address when the AP connects to the network.
After the DHCP server assigns an IP address to
the AP, you can find the AP IP address by looking
for its Ethernet base MAC address in the DHCP
server log. For example, after Step 4 below, you
can 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 and must not be in use
by any other device.
1. Select Network >DNS, set the DNS server
address, and then select Save.
2. Select Network >Ports >Bridge port.
3. Select Static, and then select Configure.
Set the following configuration settings:
a. IP address: Set a unique address that is
on the same subnet as the network to
which the AP will connect after
installation. Respect any DHCP
server-mandated static address ranges.
b. Mask: Set the corresponding mask for
the IP address.
c. Default gateway: Set the IP address of
the gateway on the network.
4. Select Save.
Connection to the management tool is lost.
You can reconnect to the management tool
by specifying the new IP address.
Page 9

Testing the wireless network
In the following example, the network has 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 or PoE power source.
3. Use an 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 an 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 of your
computer, and ensure that it is set to obtain an IP
address and a DNS address automatically as
described in your operating system
documentation.
6. By default, the AP creates a wireless network
named HP in the 5 GHz band for 802.11n and
802.11a users. Connect your computer to this
wireless network, specifying the pre-shared key
you set earlier in Step 2 of “Configuring basic
wireless protection” (page 9).
7. Confirm that you can browse the Internet using
the wireless network.
Performing 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 “Assigning an IP
address to the AP” (page 9).
