The status lights provide the following information:
Important information to read before installing
Prior to installing or using the M210, make sure that RF and other regulations, such as
building and wiring codes, safety, channel, indoor/outdoor restrictions, and license
requirements for the intended country are complied with. 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
: If you plan on connecting an outdoor antenna to the M210,
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 ProCurve 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. At least Cat 5e cabling is required.
Country of use
: In some regions, you are prompted to select the country of use during setup.
Once the country has been set, the M210 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.
Safety
: Take note of the following safety information during installation.
•
If your network covers an area served by more than one power distribution system, be
sure all safety grounds are securely interconnected.
•
Network cables may 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.
•
The M210 is powered-on when the Ethernet port is plugged into a PoE power source or
when an external power supply is connected.
•
The M210 and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors within the same
building, including all PoE-powered network connections as described by Environment
A of the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Powering the M210
The M210 can be powered by:
•
The provided 48 Volt power supply.
•
A 10/100 or 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled switch. Various PoE-enabled switches are
available from HP ProCurve.
•
An HP ProCurve PoE Power Injector (J9407A).
Caution:
If the M210 will be 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 M210.
Installation
You can mount the M210 horizontally or vertically as shown here:
Horizontal mount with antennas at top
Vertical mount with
antennas at left (or right)
Select mounting screws with a non-counter-sunk screw head approximately .25 inches (6.35
mm) in diameter so that the screw head fits into the mounting holes on the back of the
M210. The screws should have an approximate length of 1 to 1.25 inches (25 mm to 30 mm)
and a diameter of .14 inches (3.5 mm).
