Step 6: Test The Wireless Network - HP msm4 series Installation And Getting Started Manual

MSM410
Initial configuration (autonomous mode)
example after Step 6.4, you could go to the DHCP server log to retrieve the IP address
assigned to the MSM410.
 Assign a static IP address to the MSM410. The address must be on the same subnet
as the network to which the MSM410 will connect.

Step 6: Test the wireless network

For the purposes of this example, the network must have a DHCP server and an Internet
connection. Broadband routers typically include a DHCP server.
1. Disconnect your computer from the PoE switch or injector.
2. Power off the MSM410 by disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the MSM410.
3. Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the switch or the data in port of the injector to
the network.
4. Reconnect and power on the MSM410. Use a standard Ethernet cable to reconnect the
MSM410 to the PoE switch or the data and power out port of the injector.
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 MSM410 creates a wireless network named HP. Connect your computer to
this wireless network. For example, in Windows Vista from the Start menu, select
Connect to, and then HP 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.
2-12
1. Select Network > DNS, and set the DNS server address. Select Save.
2. Select Network > Ports > Bridge port.
3. Select Static and then Configure. Configure settings as follows:
 IP address: Set an address that is on the same subnet as the network to which
the MSM410 will connect once installed. Respect any DHCP server-mandated
static address ranges.
 Mask: Set the corresponding mask for the IP address.
 Default gateway: Set the IP address of the gateway on the network.
4. Select Save. Connection to the management tool is lost.
