HP ProCurce MSM422 Quick Start

and use comply with local safety and radio
regulations.
• Surge protection and grounding: When
connecting an outdoor antenna to an 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.
• Cabling: You must use supported Cat 5e (or
better) cables, and where applicable, surge
protection, for your given region. For compliance
with EN55022 Class-B emissions requirements,
use shielded Ethernet cables.
• Network cables can occasionally be subject to
hazardous transient voltages (caused by lightning
or disturbances in the electrical power grid).
Handle exposed metal components of the network
with caution.
CAUTION: Carefully observe the following
cautions.
• 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.
• External Antennas: 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, see the Antenna Power-Level Setting
Guide (for MSM Products) for your AP model
available at www.hp.com/support/manuals
(search by antenna model number).
To set the radio power transmission level for
controlled APs, see “Transmit power control” in
the MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide.
For information about autonomous APs, see
“Transmit power control” in the MSM3xx /
MSM4xx Access Points Configuration Guide.
• If your network covers an area served by more
than one power distribution system, be sure that
all safety grounds are securely interconnected.
• The AP is powered-on when the Ethernet port is
plugged into a PoE power source or when an
external power supply is connected.
• The AP and all interconnected equipment must be
installed indoors within the same building (except
for outdoor APs and antennas), including all
PoE-powered network connections as described
by Environment A of the IEEE 802.3af standard.
• MSM320-R and MSM310-R are the only models
that can be installed outdoors.
Powering the AP
The AP can be powered by:
• A 10/100 or 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled switch.
Various PoE-enabled switches are available from
HP.
• An HP 1-Port Power Injector (J9407B).
In addition, optional HP power supplies are available
for some APs:
• MSM422 and MSM335 APs: Able to have power
supplied by a Listed Information Technology
Equipment AC Adapter, Wall Industries Inc.,
Model GPSU30A-8, rated output 33–50 Vdc,
0.91–0.61 A, available as HP part number
J9406A.
• MSM320 and MSM310 APs: Able to have power
supplied by a Listed Information Technology
Equipment AC Adaptor, Sparkle Co. Inc., Models
FSP015-1AD201A or FSP015-DYAA1xx, rated
output 5 Vdc, 3A (marked Class 2 or LPS)
available as HP part number J9405A.
CAUTION: 802.11n APs only: If the 802.11n
AP is 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.
