Ports; Radio And Antenna - HP MSM430 Installation Manual

Controlled mode
During startup/discovery in controlled mode, the status lights indicate the following:
Status light behavior
Power light blinks every two seconds.
Power light blinks once per second.
Power, Ethernet, and Radio, lights blink in sequence from
left to right.
Power light is on. Ethernet and Radio lights blink
alternately.
Power and Ethernet lights blink alternately and quickly.
Radio lights are off.
Power and Radio lights blink slowly.
Power and Ethernet lights blink slowly.
Once the discovery process is complete, and the AP has established a secure management tunnel
to a controller, the Power light remains on and the Ethernet and Radio lights blink to indicate the
presence of traffic.

Ports

Ethernet port: Auto-sensing 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector. The
port supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af.
Console port: Standard console (serial) port with an RJ-45 connector. For details, see Console
Ports in the MSM3xx / MSM4xx APs Configuration Guide. There is no need to use the Console
port for initial configuration.
WARNING!
damage the AP. Connect it only to other serial ports via an RJ-45 to serial port adapter.

Radio and antenna

The MSM430, MSM460, and MSM466 each feature two radios, providing 802.1 1n/a on Radio
1 and 802.1 1n/a/b/g on Radio 2. For maximum performance, the MSM460 and MSM466 both
support 3x3 MIMO three-spatial-stream 802.1 1n. The MSM430 supports 3x3 MIMO
two-spatial-stream 802.1 1n.
The MSM430 and the MSM460 each contain two 3-element, dual-band, MIMO antennas. The
MSM466 includes no integrated antennas. It provides three antenna connectors for each radio,
color-coded red, green, and blue. When connecting the antenna cables, be sure to respect the
color-coding.
Only the following antennas are approved for use with the MSM466:

Description
The AP is starting up.
The AP is looking for an IP address, or building the list of
VLANs on which to perform controller discovery. The
management tool is available until discovery occurs.
The AP has obtained an IP address and is attempting to
discover a controller.
The AP has found a controller and is attempting to establish
a secure management tunnel with it.
The AP has received a discovery reply from two or more
controllers with the same priority setting. The AP is unable
to connect with either controller until the conflict is resolved.
The AP is attempting to establish a local mesh link to a
master node.
The AP is attempting to establish wired connectivity.
