HP ProCurve Networking

4.

Reconnect and power on the MSM335:

If using a PoE switch or injector, use a standard Ethernet cable to reconnect the 
MSM335 to the PoE switch or the data and power out port of the injector. 

If using a power supply, use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the MSM335 to the 
network, and reconnect the MSM335 power supply.

5.

Enable the wireless network interface of 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 MSM335 creates a wireless network named 

HP ProCurve

. Connect your 

computer to this wireless network. For example, in Windows Vista from the 

Start

 menu, 

select 

Connect to

, and then 

HP ProCurve 

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. 

G.

Performing additional configuration

Configure your computer LAN port and connect it to the same network as the MSM335. Re-
launch the MSM335 management tool at 

https://<

IP address

>

 where 

<

IP address

>

 is the 

MSM335 IP address from Step E above. 

Note:

See the Caution regarding WIRELESS SECURITY on page 4.

Enabling access to other resources

By default, the MSM335 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 ProCurve

 profile. 

2.

On the

 Add/Edit Virtual Service Community 

page clear the 

Wireless security filters

 

checkbox.

3.

Select 

Save

Regulatory Notice for European Union and EFTA member countries

As of July 1st 2010, all wireless devices sold in EU countries and any countries that participate in the 
EU free market must meet stringent Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements for radar 
detection and avoidance (EN 301.893 v1.5.1). The MSM335 is compliant.

Compliance notes

Software version 5.4.x is released for both rev A and rev B MSM335 APs.

On all radios of a rev A MSM335, the 5 GHz DFS channels are enabled and can be used.

On all radios of a rev B MSM335, the following additional 5 GHz DFS channels are disabled and 
cannot be used:

Channels 52, 56, 60 and 64 in the 5250-5350 MHz band

Channels 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 132, 136 and 140 in the 5470-5725 MHz band.

Note:

Customers will not have to disable these 5 GHz DFS channels on rev A MSM335 
APs received prior to July 1st, 2010.

For non-EU/EFTA customers using the WW version of the MSM335, there is no change to the 
availability of DFS channels.
