HP ProCurve Networking
4.
Reconnect and power on the MSM422:
•
If using a PoE switch or injector, use an Ethernet cable to reconnect the MSM422 to
the PoE switch or the data and power out port of the injector.
•
If using a power supply, use an Ethernet cable to connect the MSM422 to the
network, and reconnect the MSM422 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 MSM422 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 MSM422. Re-
launch the MSM422 management tool at
https://<
IP address
>
where
<
IP address
>
is the
MSM422 IP address from Step E above.
Note:
See the Caution regarding WIRELESS SECURITY on page 4.
Enabling access to other resources
By default, the MSM422 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.

Notice for USA
The following applies to Radio 1 only.
Warning:
In the United States, operation on channels 100-140 in the 5470-5725 MHz
band is restricted to indoor-use only. Outdoor operation on these channels is
a strict violation of the FCC rules and can cause harmful interference to
commercial radar communications. For outdoor operation, channels 100-140
must not be used. If using automatic channel assignment, add channels 100
through 140 to the Automatic channel exclusion list.
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 MSM422 is compliant.
Compliance notes
