Testing the wireless network
For the purposes of this example, the network must have 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 E-MSM466-R by disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the E-MSM466-R.
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 E-MSM466-R. Use an Ethernet cable to reconnect the E-MSM466-R
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 E-MSM466-R creates a wireless network named HP in the 5GHz 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 18)
.
7.
Confirm that you can browse the Internet using the wireless network.
Before performing additional configuration
Configure your computer LAN port and connect it to the same network as the E-MSM466-R.
Re-launch the E-MSM466-R management tool at
https://<IP address>
where
<IP address>
is the
E-MSM466-R IP address from
“Assigning an IP address to the E-MSM466-R” (page 18)
above.
