See Plenum installation on page 2-6 .
Powering the MSM410
The MSM410 can be powered by:
 A 10/100 or 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled switch. PoE-enabled switches are available from HP.

An HP 1-Port Power Injector (J9407A).
Caution If the MSM410 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 MSM410.
Caution
When mounting the MSM410, ensure that the surface to which you attach the MSM410 and
the fasteners used support a weight of 1.1 kg (2.4 pounds). Allow extra weight for cables.
Initial configuration (autonomous mode)
This procedure describes how to switch a factory-default MSM410 to autonomous mode and
then perform its initial configuration that enables you to establish a wireless connection
through the MSM410 to the Internet.
In autonomous mode, the MSM410 is managed via its Web-based management tool as
described in this section. This requires at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 7/8 or Mozilla
Firefox 3. x .
For controlled mode configuration, see
Working with controlled APs
in the
MSM7xx
Controllers Management and Configuration Guide .
Caution
Wireless security
For initial configuration convenience, a factory-default MSM410 that has been switched to
autonomous mode has all wireless security options disabled. It is strongly recommended that
after performing this procedure, you enable a wireless security option to properly safeguard
the wireless network from intruders. See Wireless protection in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx
Access Points Management and Configuration Guide .
