E. Configure system time settings

Accurate time is critical for correct operation of the MSM710, as the time configured on the

MSM710 is used on all controlled APs. Configure system time settings as follows:

In the management tool, select Controller >> Management > System time.

Set the timezone and DST as appropriate for your region.

If the MSM710 will be connected to the Internet, select Set date & time (time servers).

By default, the list contains two ntp vendor zone pools that are reserved for HP

ProCurve Networking devices. By using these pools, you will get better service and keep

from overloading the standard ntp.org server.

If the MSM710 will not be connected to the Internet, select Add to configure your own

time server, or select Set date & time (manually).

Select Save and verify that the date and time are accurately set.

F. Optionally enable the DHCP server

DO NOT enable the MSM710 DHCP server if the network to which the LAN

Caution:

port will be connected has its own DHCP server.

The MSM710 DHCP server is useful for automatically assigning IP addresses to devices

such as access points (APs) and their wireless clients.

If you choose to use the MSM710 DHCP server, enable it as follows:

Select Controller >> Network > Address allocation > DHCP server > Configure.

Define the Start and End IP addresses. The Gateway is automatically assigned based on

the LAN port IP address.

Select Save.

G. Configure the Internet port

By default, the Internet port operates as a DHCP client. If your network provides a DHCP

server, the Internet port will automatically obtain an IP address. No configuration is required.

To view and/or adjust DHCP settings, do the following:

Select Controller >> Network > Ports > Internet port. By default, Assign IP address via

is set to DHCP Client. Select Configure next to DHCP Client.
