6. Log on to the HP ProCurve RF Manager Server through SSH. Run the
get sensor list
command. You will see a list of all Sensors that are recognized by the Server.
The Sensor is configured and ready to go. Check the Console to ensure that this Sensor

Manually Configuring the Sensor (Optional)
Note
If the installation above was successful you do not need to configure the Sensor manually.
Manual configuration of a MSM415 Sensor is typically required in the following cases:
„ Sensor needs to be configured in ND or SNDC mode.
„ Sensor Only (SO) devices cannot connect to the Server through zero configuration. The
DNS entry for the Server has been changed to an entry other than "wifi-security-server" or
there is no DNS Server present in the network. This is applicable for multi-server
installations.
„ Sensor is placed on a subnet that is not DHCP enabled.
To use the Config Shell to manually configure a Sensor, connect a Serial (RS-232) cable
between your computer and the Sensor. The Config Shell supports a pre-defined set of
commands used to configure the Sensor.
The steps to configure the Sensor manually are as follows:
„ Invoke HyperTerminal (or minicom)
„ Log in and change the default password
„ Set server discovery
„ Set sensor mode
„ Configure network settings
These steps are explained in detail below.
