Important information to read before installing
Warning:
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED. For indoor installation only.
Prior to installing or using the MSM335, consult with a professional installer trained in
RF installation and knowledgeable in local regulations including building and wiring
codes, safety, channel, power, indoor/outdoor restrictions, and license requirements for
the intended country. 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
MSM335, 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. Cat 5e (or better) cabling is required.
Plenum installation:
The MSM335 can be installed in a plenum (UL2043 rating). It should
be installed in a similar orientation as in a ceiling installation. However, it is left to a qualified
installer to determine how to install/secure the MSM335 in a plenum in an appropriate and
safe manner. Plenum-rated cables and attachment hardware must be used.
Country of use
: In some regions, you are prompted to select the country of use during setup.
Once the country has been set, the MSM335 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.
See
Regulatory Notice for European Union and EFTA member countries
on page 6.
Caution:
External Antennas: When using an external antenna, depending on the
country of use, the antenna selected, and your radio settings, it may be
mandatory to reduce the radio transmission power level to maintain
regulatory compliance. For specific power limits for your country, consult the
Antenna Power-Level Setting Guide
available on the HP ProCurve manuals
page for the MSM3xx/4xx Access Points at
www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals.
To set the radio transmission power level, for controlled access points see
Transmit power
control
in the
MSM7xx Controllers Management and Configuration Guide.
For autonomous
access points, see
Transmit power control
in the
MSM3xx / MSM4xx Access Points
Management and Configuration Guide.
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 MSM335 is powered-on when the Ethernet port is plugged into a PoE power source
or when an external power supply is connected.
•
The MSM335 and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors within the
same building (except for outdoor models / antennas), including all PoE-powered
network connections as described by Environment A of the IEEE 802.3af standard.
