MSM323-R Integrated Services Access Point Quickstart

HP ProCurve Networking
13.
Carefully pull the cable slack back through the quick-disconnect assembly until the RJ-
45 Plug (G) is almost touching the Body (F). Adjust the cable position so that the RJ-45
Plug (G) fits precisely into the RJ-45 cutout in the Body (F), and press down the plastic
tab so the plug fits correctly.
14.
Tighten the threads between Sealing Nut (A) and Clamp Ring (C)
by hand
, until the cable
is firmly anchored.
Do not over tighten. Do not tighten with tools.
Install the MSM323-R
1.
Mount the MSM323-R on a wall or pole using the supplied brackets so that the antennas
are pointing up. Local electrical and building codes will dictate many installation
aspects.
2.
(Refer to photo below: “Grounded body (via grounding lug).”) Attach the supplied
grounding lug (through the bracket) to one of the lower screw holes on the MSM323-R
body, and attach a grounding wire with the set screw.
3.
(Refer to the photo on the left side of page 1.) Manually screw on antenna surge
suppressors to the antenna connectors on top of the MSM323-R. Position the gas tube
covers so that they can be removed for future tube replacement.
4.
(Refer to photo below: “Grounded surge suppressor.”) Attach a grounding wire to at
least one of the antenna surge suppressors. For the model shown, remove the crimp
connector, crimp it to the wire, and then screw the crimp connector back onto the surge
suppressor.
5.
Create a drip loop in the Ethernet cable below the MSM323-R. A drip loop provides
additional protection against water running down the Ethernet cable and into the
connector. Form the loop as shown here. Make sure that the distance between the loop
start and end points is at least 6 inches (15 cm), and that the cable hangs down at least
10 inches (25 cm).
6.
(Refer to illustration “Weatherproof connector parts” on previous page.) Mate the RJ-45
Plug (G) with the socket on the MSM323-R, hold it firmly in place, and tighten the Screw
Nut (E)
by hand. Do not over tighten. Do not tighten with tools.
7.
Install an Ethernet surge suppressor as close as possible to the MSM323-R, ideally
within two feet (.6 meters). This helps reduce the effects of any charge carried by the
cable to the MSM323-R. Install this Ethernet surge suppressor between the MSM323-R
and the PoE power source.
The Ethernet cable will typically need to be cut and have the cable end coming from the
PoE injector connected to the Ethernet surge suppressor input (Line) and have the cable
end coming from the MSM323-R connected to the Ethernet surge suppressor output
(Equipment). Follow the instructions included with the Ethernet surge suppressor.
Include a drip loop for both the input and output cables. Connect a grounding wire to the
Ethernet surge suppressor.
Powering the MSM323-R
The MSM323-R can be powered by:
•
A PoE-enabled switch. A number of PoE-enabled switches are available from HP
ProCurve.
•
HP ProCurve PoE 1-Port Power Injector (J9407A).
Initial software configuration
This section walks you through the steps needed to configure the MSM323-R
and establish a
connection through the MSM323-R to the Internet.
The MSM323-R is managed via its web-based management tool using at least Microsoft
Internet Explorer 7.0 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.
Note:
Do not power on the MSM323-R until directed.
