The MSM320 has two radios, each with two antennas for diversity.
The antenna connectors are reverse-polarity SMA jacks. Antennas or cable connectors must use
RP-SMA plugs. Antennas can be mounted directly on the AP. When a single antenna is used per
radio, it is recommended to connect it to the Main antenna connector.
NOTE: Optional external antennas are available from HP.
Reset button
• Press and quickly release the button to reset the AP.
• To reset the AP to factory defaults, press the button until the status lights blink three times, then
release. Following a reset to factory defaults, the AP starts up in controlled mode with a an
option to switch it to autonomous mode.
NOTE: To reconnect to the management tool after a factory reset, your computer must be
connected to Ethernet Port 1 of the AP.
Important information to read before installing
For indoor installation only.
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! If you plan on connecting an outdoor antenna to the AP, 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.
Plenum installation
The AP can be installed in a plenum. The AP should be installed in a similar orientation as in a
ceiling installation. However, it is left to a qualified installer to determine how to install and secure
the AP in a plenum in an appropriate and safe manner. Plenum-rated cables and attachment
hardware must be used.
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.
