HP MSM430, MSM460, MSM466 Dual Radio 802.11n Access Points Quickstart 5 MSM466 available antennas
Connect the antennas (MSM466 only)
Connect the antenna cables to the 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.
3. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AP.
MSM466 available antennas
Only the following antennas are approved for use with the MSM466:
The following information applies only to the MSM466.
Caution:
In the European Community, the J9169A and J9170A antennas
can only be used in the 5470-5725 MHz band. In the US, the same antennas
can be only be used in the 5725-5850 MHz band.
Caution:
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 part
number.
For MIMO antenna installation information, see the respective Antenna Guide.
Important safety information is included.
Controllers
The AP can run as a standalone AP in autonomous mode; however, it is
typically used with
HP MSM710, MSM720, MSM760, or MSM765zl
Controllers.
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 blink 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.

Status LED state Description
Power LED blinks every two
seconds.
The AP is starting up.
Power LED 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 LEDs
blink in sequence from left to
right.
The AP has obtained an IP address and is
attempting to discover a controller.
Power LED is on. Ethernet and
Radio LEDs blink alternately.
The AP has found a controller and is
attempting to establish a secure
management tunnel with it.
Power and Ethernet LEDs blink
alternately and quickly. Radio
LEDs are off.
The AP has received a discovery reply
from two or more controllers with the
same priority setting. It cannot connect
with either controller until the conflict is
resolved.
