HP E-MSM430, E-MSM460, E-MSM466 Dual Radio 802.11n Access Points Quickstart 5 About controlled mode and autonomous mode Connect the antennas (E-MSM466 only) Connect the antenna cables to the E-MSM466, respecting the color-coding and radio designation. Removing the AP To remove the AP from the bracket: 1. Detach any locks and remove the retaining screw. 2. While carefully holding the AP, insert a flat screwdriver into the cable channel between the channel wall and the AP Bracket latch, releasing the AP from the bracket, while being careful to retain grip on the AP as you slide it away from the AP Bracket lock tab and remove the AP. 3. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AP. Using pre-installed brackets (optional) If you have other AP brackets installed for HP devices such as the MSM320, MSM335, and MSM422 APs, you can attach the supplied Adapter Bracket between the existing bracket and the supplied AP Bracket using the existing screw holes. In some cases, for example with the MSM335 and the MSM422, you must discard the old bracket, and attach the Adapter Bracket, using the same screw holes. (Note that the above MSM products are also known as E-MSM320, E-MSM335, and E-MSM422.) 1. Attach the Adapter Bracket to the AP Bracket via the four raised screw holes on the Adapter Bracket and the four outermost screw holes on the four corners of the AP Bracket. Four counter-sunk machine screws are provided. 2. Attach the AP to the AP Bracket as already described. Openings in the center of the Adapter Bracket that align with similar openings in the AP Bracket can be used for running an Ethernet cable. Note: The AP can be directly attached to an MSM410 (also known as E-MSM410) bracket in place of the AP Bracket. However you must provide your own mechanism to ensure that the AP remains firmly anchored to the ceiling. This is not an issue when mounting the AP vertically on a wall. 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 Management and 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) on page 6. Status light behavior in controlled mode Status light behavior Description Power light blinks every two seconds. The AP is starting up. Power light blinks once per second. The AP is looking for an IP address, or building the list of VLANs on which to perform discovery. The management tool is available until discovery occurs. Power, Ethernet, and Radio lights The AP has obtained an IP address and is blink in sequence from left to attempting to discover a controller. right. Power light is on. Ethernet and Radio lights blink alternately. The AP has found a controller and is attempting to establish a secure management tunnel with it. Power and Ethernet lights blink alternately and quickly. Radio lights are off. The AP has received a discovery reply from two or more controllers with the same priority setting. It is unable to connect with either controller until the conflict is resolved. Power and Radio lights blink slowly. The AP is attempting to establish a local mesh link to a master node. Power and Ethernet lights blink The AP is attempting to establish wired slowly. connectivity.
