About controlled mode and autonomous mode

Connect the antennas (E-MSM466 only)

Connect the antenna cables to the E-MSM466, respecting the color-coding and 
radio designation.

Removing the AP

To remove the AP from the bracket:

1.

Detach any locks and remove the retaining screw. 

2.

While carefully holding the AP, insert a flat screwdriver into the cable 
channel between the channel wall and the AP Bracket latch, releasing the 
AP from the bracket, while being careful to retain grip on the AP as you 
slide it away from the AP Bracket lock tab and remove the AP. 

3.

Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AP.

Using pre-installed brackets (optional)

If you have other AP brackets installed for HP devices such as the MSM320, 
MSM335, and MSM422 APs, you can attach the supplied Adapter Bracket 
between the existing bracket and the supplied AP Bracket using the existing 
screw holes. In some cases, for example with the MSM335 and the MSM422, 
you must discard the old bracket, and attach the Adapter Bracket, using the 
same screw holes. (Note that the above MSM products are also known as 
E-MSM320, E-MSM335, and E-MSM422.)

1.

Attach the Adapter Bracket to the AP Bracket via the four raised screw holes 
on the Adapter Bracket and the four outermost screw holes on the four 
corners of the AP Bracket. Four counter-sunk machine screws are 
provided.

2.

Attach the AP to the AP Bracket as already described. Openings in the 
center of the Adapter Bracket that align with similar openings in the AP 
Bracket can be used for running an Ethernet cable.

Note:

The AP can be directly attached to an MSM410 (also known as 
E-MSM410) bracket in place of the AP Bracket. However you must 
provide your own mechanism to ensure that the AP remains firmly 
anchored to the ceiling. This is not an issue when mounting the AP 
vertically on a wall.

About controlled mode and autonomous mode

The AP can operate in one of two modes: controlled (the default) or autonomous. 
Switching modes resets all configuration settings to factory defaults.

Controlled mode: 

To become operational, the AP must establish a 

management tunnel with an MSM7xx Controller. The controller manages 
the AP and provides all configuration settings. Discovery of the controller 
is automatic if default settings are used on the AP and the controller, and 
both devices are on the same subnet. See 

Working with controlled APs

 in 

the 

MSM7xx Controllers Management and Configuration Guide.

Autonomous mode: 

After being switched to autonomous mode, the AP 

operates as a stand-alone AP. You configure and manage an autonomous 
AP by using its Web-based management tool, as described in 

Initial 

configuration (autonomous mode) 

on page 6.

Status light behavior in controlled mode 

Status light behavior

Description

Power light blinks every two 
seconds.

The AP is starting up.

Power light blinks once per 
second.

The AP is looking for an IP address, or 
building the list of VLANs on which to 
perform discovery. The management tool 
is available until discovery occurs.

Power, Ethernet, and Radio lights 
blink in sequence from left to 
right.

The AP has obtained an IP address and is 
attempting to discover a controller.

Power light is on. Ethernet and 
Radio lights blink alternately.

The AP has found a controller and is 
attempting to establish a secure 
management tunnel with it.

Power and Ethernet lights blink 
alternately and quickly. Radio 
lights are off.

The AP has received a discovery reply 
from two or more controllers with the 
same priority setting. It is unable to 
connect with either controller until the 
conflict is resolved.

Power and Radio lights blink 
slowly. 

The AP is attempting to establish a local 
mesh link to a master node.

Power and Ethernet lights blink 
slowly. 

The AP is attempting to establish wired 
connectivity.
