HP M210 802.11n Access Point Quickstart
Select the environment that resembles your network, and then make the appropriate settings.
This procedure uses the first option, Basic wireless network as an example.
Select Basic wireless network, and then OK. The Quick setup - Basic wireless network page
is divided into three sections: Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3.
Step 1: Specify access point settings

Configure the radio: Wireless mode
Select the desired Wireless mode. Supported modes and channels are determined by the
regulatory domain.
Available modes in most regulatory domains are as follows:
•
IEEE 802.11a: Up to 54 Mbps in the 5 GHz band.
•
IEEE 802.11b/g: Up to 11 (802.11b) and 54 Mbps (802.11g) in the 2.4 GHz band.
•
IEEE 802.11a/n: Up to 300 Mbps for 802.11n and 54 Mbps for 802.11a in the 5 GHz
band.
•
IEEE 802.11b/g/n: Up to 300 Mbps for 802.11n, 54 Mbps for 802.11g, and 11 Mbps for
802.11b in the 2.4 GHz band.
•
5 GHz IEEE 802.11n: (Pure 802.11n) Up to 300 Mbps in the 802.11n 5 GHz band.
•
2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n: (Pure 802.11n) Up to 300 Mbps in the 802.11n 2.4 GHz band.
In 5 GHz IEEE 802.11n and 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n modes, the M210 does not
Note:
permit non-802.11n clients to associate. Also in these modes, the M210 does not
use protection mechanisms (RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self) to enable legacy APs to
operate on the same frequency. This can potentially cause problems with legacy
(a/b/g) APs operating on the same channel, but provides the best M210 throughput.
In IEEE 802.11a/n and IEEE 802.11b/g/n modes, the M210 permits both 802.11n
Note:
and legacy clients (a/b/g) to associate. The M210 uses protection mechanisms
(RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self) when sending 802.11n data to prevent disruption to
legacy (a/b/g) clients associated on the same channel.
Get an IP address
IPv4 and IPv6 addressing are both available on the M210. Click the + symbol to the left of
IPv4 or IPv6 to expand their respective settings. Only IPv4 supports DHCP.
For IPv6, consult the M210 Configuration and Administration Guide.
Note:
IPv4: IP configuration set to DHCP
For this sample procedure, DHCP is assumed. With IP configuration set to DHCP, the M210
will operate as a DHCP client, automatically obtaining an IP address from a DHCP server. If
no DHCP server is found, the default IP address 192.168.1.1 is used.
With DHCP you can preconfigure the address or find the assigned address as follows:
•
Preconfigure the DHCP server to assign a specific IP address to the M210. To do this
you need to specify the M210 Ethernet MAC address as a reserved IP address on the
DHCP server. The M210 Ethernet MAC address is printed on the M210 product label and
it is also listed on the management tool Home > System summary page.
•
Let the DHCP server automatically assign an IP address. By default, the DHCP server
will assign an IP address after the M210 connects to the network. When the DHCP
server has assigned the M210 an IP address, you can then find the M210 IP address by
looking for the M210 MAC address in the DHCP server log.
