Blinking or

The RJ-45 port has a link indication from a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps device and is

transmitting or receiving traffic. The LED blinking rate is proportional to the traffic

rate. If there is no traffic, the blinking rate will be once every five seconds. As the

traffic rate increases, the blinking rate also increases until the LED is solid on, which

indicates there no available bandwidth on the port.

Back Panel Covers

The access point’s ports and connectors on the back of the unit can be

protected by two removable plastic covers. One covers the Console port, Clear

and Reset buttons, RJ-45 port, and DC power connector, while allowing

twisted-pair and power cables to pass through. The other cover protects the

external antenna connectors when they are not in use.

Antennas

The access point includes internal diversity antennas for wireless communi-

cations. A diversity antenna system uses two identical antennas to receive and

transmit signals, helping to avoid multipath fading effects. When receiving,

the access point checks both antennas and selects the one with the strongest

signal. When transmitting, it will continue to use the antenna previously

selected for receiving. The access point never transmits from both antennas

at the same time.

The access point also supports connectors for various external antenna

options that offer extended radio range and specific radio coverage patterns.

For further information, see chapter 4, “Using an External Antenna with the

Access Point 530”.

Lock

The access point includes a Kensington security slot on the side panel, marked

with the lock symbol ( ). You can prevent unauthorized removal of the

access point by wrapping the Kensington security cable (not provided) around

an unmovable object, inserting the lock into the slot, and turning the key.

Console Port

This port connects a console to the access point using a serial cable. This

connection is described under “Connect a Console to the Access Point” in

chapter 2, “Installing the Access Point 530”. The console can be a PC or

workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.

Network Port

The access point includes one 10/100Base-TX port. This port uses the “HP Auto

MDIX” feature, which means that you can use either straight-through or

crossover twisted-pair cables to connect the access point to a switch or

workstation.

Refer to the following section for information on supplying power to the

access point through its RJ-45 port from a network device, such as a switch,

that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Power Connector

The Access Point 530 does not have a power switch; it is powered on when

connected to the AC power adapter, and the power adapter is connected to

an active AC power source. The access point's power adapter automatically

adjusts to any voltage between 100--240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are

no voltage range settings required.

Caution Use only the AC power adapter supplied with the access point. Use of other

adapters, including adapters that came with other ProCurve Networking

products, may result in damage to the equipment.

Access Point 530

Installation Procedures

Summary

Follow these easy steps to install your access point. The rest of this chapter

provides details on these steps.

1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-4). Make sure that the physical

environment into which you will be installing the access point is properly

prepared, including having the correct network cabling ready to connect

to the access point and having an appropriate location for the access

point. Please see page 2-2 for some installation precautions.

2. Verify that the access point completes its system initialization

(page 2-5). This is a simple process of plugging the access point into a

power source, or connecting it to a switch that provides Power over

Ethernet, and observing that the LEDs on the access point’s top panel

indicate correct access point operation.

3. Mount the access point (page 2-7). The Access Point 530 can be

mounted on a wall, on a suspended ceiling T-rail, or on a horizontal

surface.

4. Connect power to the access point (page 2-12). Once the access

point is mounted, plug it into a nearby main power source, or connect it

to a switch that provides Power over Ethernet.

5. Connect to the network (page 2-13). Using the appropriate network

cable, connect the access point to a network connection point, such as a

switch. The network connection can also be used to provide power to the

access point through its PoE feature.

6. Connect a console to the access point (optional—page 2-14). You

may wish to modify the access point’s configuration, for example, to

configure an IP address so it can be managed using a Web browser or

through a Telnet session. Configuration changes can be made easily by

using a console cable to connect a PC to the access point’s console port.

At this point, your access point is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if

you need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.
