The Access Point 530 requires the user to select the appropriate Country
Code during the initial set up. Once the country code has been set, the
access point will automatically limit the available channels, ensuring
compliant operation in the selected country. Incorrectly entering the
country code may result in illegal operation and may cause harmful
interference to other systems. Please consult with a professional installer
who is trained in RF installation and knowledgeable in the local regulations
to ensure that the radio is operating in accordance with channel, power,
indoor/outdoor restrictions and license requirements for the intended
country.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ensure that the access point does not overload the power circuits, wiring,
and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading
the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed
on the same circuit as the access point and compare the total with the
rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually
printed on devices near the AC power connectors.
When using the AC power adapter, do not install the access point in an
environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed
40° C (104° F). When using PoE power, do not install the access point in
an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed
50° C (122° F)
Make sure the air flow around the sides of the access point is notrestricted.
