Installing the Access Point
Installation Precautions
The access point may receive power using either the power adapter or Power
over Ethernet (PoE) from a switch or other network device that supplies
power over the network cable based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. If you want
to use PoE to supply power to the access point, you will also need IEEE
802.3af-compliant power sourcing equipment (PSE).
Wireless Client Requirements
For wireless clients and devices on the network to be able to communicate
with the access point, they must have at least the following:
■ An operating system that supports TCP/IP networking protocols (for
example, Windows 2000/XP, UNIX, Mac OS 8.5 or later).
■ An 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g wireless network interface card
Safety Information
Before you continue, read Appendix C , “Safety and EMC Regulatory State-
ments” .
Installation Precautions
Follow these precautions when installing the access point:
C A U T I O N
■
Use only the AC power adapter supplied with the access point. Use of
other adapters, including adapters that came with other ProCurve
Networking products, may result in damage to the equipment.
■ You can alternatively power the access point through a network connec-
tion to a switch or other network connection device that provides Power
over Ethernet. However, note that if the access point is connected to a
power source using its AC power adapter, Power over Ethernet is
disabled.
■
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use
the power adapter supplied with the access point to connect it to the
power source.
■
When using the access point's AC power adapter, note that the AC outlet
should be near the access point and should be easily accessible in case
the access point must be powered off.
