Installing the MSM317

Install the MSM317 as directed in the MSM317 Access Device Installation Guide provided
with the unit and available online. The Installation Guide describes how to physically install a
factory-default MSM317 in an electrical outlet box and make basic connections. For most
installations, installing a factory-default MSM317 is sufficient, as the MSM317 will
automatically discover and connect with an MSM7xx Controller after it is powered on. For
routed network topologies however, provisioning of the MSM317 may be required before
installation to ensure that the discovery process is successful. See
on page
Caution:
Note
The MSM317 operates in controlled mode (autonomous mode is not supported). This means
it must establish a network connection with an MSM7xx Controller before it can become
fully operational. For more information, see Working with controlled APs in the MSM7xx
Controllers Management and Configuration Guide.

Checking status after installation

During installation, the Uplink port must be connected to a network with a PoE power source
and an MSM7xx Controller. Once the network, PoE source, and MSM7xx Controller are all
active, the status lights can be observed to verify that the MSM317 is operating correctly. See
Status lights on page

Connecting cables to the MSM317

After installation is complete, connect equipment to the MSM317 as follows:
 Connect equipment that requires PoE to Port 1.
 Connect other equipment to Ports 2, 3, or 4.
Connect equipment that will use the pass-through feature (such as a digital telephone) to

Port 5.

Additional configuration

For detailed information on how to configure and manage the MSM317, see

Controllers Management and Configuration Guide.
3-2.
It is recommended that the physical installation be performed with the
Uplink cable inactive. However, if the cable is active, you must leave it
connected once plugged in so that the MSM317 can discover its
controller. Wait at least 5 minutes before disconnecting a live Uplink
cable from the MSM317 after first connecting it.
