MSM320-R
Initial configuration (autonomous mode)
7-14
Step 6: Test 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 PoE injector.
2.
Power off the MSM320-R by disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the MSM320-R.
3.
Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the switch or the data in port of the injector to
the network.
4.
Reconnect and power on the MSM320-R. Use a standard Ethernet cable to reconnect the
MSM320-R to the PoE switch or the data and power out port of the injector.
5.
Enable the wireless network interface for your computer, and verify that it is set to obtain
an IP address automatically.
For example, to do this in Windows Vista, use
Control Panel > Network and Sharing
Center > Manage Network Connections > Wireless Network Connection
, right-
click
Properties
and select
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties
,
and make sure that
Obtain an IP address automatically
and
Obtain a DNS server
address automatically
are both enabled.
6.
By default, the MSM320-R creates a wireless network named
HP
. Connect your computer
to this wireless network. For example, in Windows Vista from the
Start
menu, select
Connect to
, and then
HP
from the list of available wireless networks. You may have to
wait a short time for this wireless network name to appear in the wireless networks list.
7.
Confirm that you can browse the Internet using the wireless network.
Step 7: Perform additional configuration
Configure your computer LAN port and connect it to the same network as the MSM320-R. Re-
launch the MSM320-R management tool at
https://<
IP address
>
where
<
IP address
>
is
the MSM320-R IP address from
Step 5: Assign an IP address to the MSM320-R on page 7-13
.
Note
See the Caution regarding
Wireless security on page 7-11
To enable access to other resources
By default, the MSM320-R only permits traffic that is addressed to the default gateway on the
network (which enables you to connect to the Internet). To enable access to other resources:
1.
Select
VSC > Profiles
and then select the
HP
profile.
2.
On the
Add/Edit Virtual Service Community
page clear the
Wireless security filters
checkbox.
3.
Select
Save.
