The AP 420s single-radio design supports 802.1 1g, with or without fallback support for 802.1 1b, as well as 802.1 1b alone.
External Antenna Support

The AP 420 supports the following antennas: ProCurve 5 dBi Indoor/Outdoor Omnidirectional Antenna (J8441A) ProCurve 8 dBi Outdoor Omnidirectional Antenna (J8444A)
Note The ProCurve 8 dBi Outdoor Omnidirectional Antenna (J8444A) is not supported by the HP ProCurve Wireless Access Point 420 NA (J8130A).
Management Options
You have several options for managing the AP 420.
Web Browser Interface

The Web browser interface offers an intuitive, task-based approach to managing the AP. You can access this interface remotely using either:

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) HTTP over Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS), a protocol that encrypts data that is part of a web session
Rev. 10.31
B4
Command Line Interface (CLI)

You might prefer the precise control afforded by a CLI. You can also access the AP 420s CLI through:

A serial connection A remote Telnet session A remote, encrypted Secure Shell (SSHv2) session
SNMP
SNMP support allows you to manage the AP 420 in the context of other devices on your network. An SNMP v1/v2 agent on the AP 420:
Submits information such as device settings, traffic statistics, and alarms to a central SNMP server Accepts commands from SNMP management software, allowing for centralized administration
SNMP v3 offers the same services but adds encryption to protect sensitive information.
Flash Memory
The AP 420 includes 4 MB flash memory in which the following are stored:

A startup-config with custom configurations A factory default config, which allows you to return the AP 420 to default settings Software Default software, which is software loaded at production that enables the AP 420 to recover automatically should new software fail to download successfully or the primary software become corrupted. This default software cannot be altered.
Returning the AP to Factory Settings

To return the AP 420 to its factory default settings and password, locate the Reset button on the back of the device. Press and hold it for five seconds. The default username is admin. The AP 420 does not initially have a manager password; simply press Enter when prompted for the password.

Connection down Activity on the link
No associations Activity on the link
The AP 420 has three LEDs (Power, 10/100 TX, and Wireless), each of which has three statuses: on, off, or blinking.
Power LED
The Power LED indicates whether the AP 420 is on or off. The AP 420 does not have a power switch. If the AP 420 receives power, it is on. If the Power LED is off, check the power cord and verify that you are using approved ProCurve equipment. When the AP 420 uses PoE, an off Power LED may indicate a problem on the connecting switchfor example, PoE is not enabled or the Ethernet connection is down. At the APs initial power up, the Power LED blinks for between 30 seconds and one minute while it performs a self-test and system initialization. If a component of the self-test fails, the LED continues to blink, indicating a problem with the boot code or software. The Power LED also blinks when the AP 420 downloads new software.

Rev. 10.31
10/100 TX LED
The 10/100 TX LED reports the status of the AP 420s Ethernet connection. The LED glows when the far-end device sends a link indication (the link is up). The color indicates the speed of the connection:

Green100 Mbps Amber10 Mbps
Actual activity on the linkthat is, the Ethernet interface sending or receiving trafficcauses the LED to blink.
Wireless LED
The Wireless LED is on when both of these conditions are met:

The radio is on. At least one station is associated with the AP 420.
If the LED is off, either the radio is disabled or no stations are currently connected. The LED blinks when the radio sends or receives traffic.

Establish a Serial Connection

To begin to configure the AP 420, you can establish a serial connection to the AP, or you can Telnet to its default IP address of 192.168.1.1/24. If you want to establish a serial connection, complete these instructions: 1. Use a DB-9 female-to-female serial cable to connect your workstation to the APs console port. Although the APs do not ship with this cable (5184-1894), many ProCurve switches include it. Open a terminal (VT-100) session using these settings:
Note When establishing a console session, press Enter until the CLI prompt is displayed.

Parity: None Flow control: None
You can then begin to enter the basic commands shown on the slide. (You can complete these tasks after installing and powering up the AP 420 or before installing it at all, depending on the ease of accessing the APs serial port at its installation location.)
Enter the Default Username and Password

When you are prompted for a username, enter the default username and password: Username: admin Password: none required
Set the Country Code

The North American model (J8130A or J8130B) comes configured with the us country code. If you are using the Worldwide model (J8131A or J8131B), you must always set the country code, which you should do immediately. The country code configures the AP 420 to use only the channels and transmit powers allowed by regulations in your country. You cannot activate the AP 420 WWs radio until you set the country code. The correct country code must be set for the country in which you operate the AP so that it uses the correct authorized radio channels for wireless network devices. On the AP 420, the country code can only be set using the CLI.
ProCurve AP 420# country <country_code> Note You can see a complete list of available country codes by using the country ? command.
Once you have set the country code and rebooted the system, the CLI command is no longer available. If you need to change the country code, you must reload the AP default configuration by using the reset configuration command, or by pressing the APs Reset button for more than 5 seconds.
Specify IP Settings
By default, the AP 420 receives a dynamic address from a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not available, the AP 420 uses the IP address 192.168.1.1/24. You can also disable the DHCP client on the AP 420 and assign it a static address.
Rev. 10.31
B9
Enter these commands to access the Ethernet interface and configure the IP settings:
ProCurve ProCurve ProCurve ProCurve <gateway AP 420# configure AP 420(config)# interface ethernet AP 420(if-ethernet)# no ip dhcp AP 420(if-ethernet)# ip address <A.B.C.D> <A.B.C.D> A.B.C.D>
Enter the IP address of the APs default gateway immediately after the APs own IP address. For example, you might enter:
ProCurve AP 420(if-ethernet)# ip address 10.1.1.10 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1
The IP address on the APs Ethernet interface is its single address and also acts as its management address. You should assign the AP an address in your networks management VLAN. (By default, the APs management VLAN is VLAN 1; if necessary, change this setting with the management-vlanid <1-4094> <tagged | untagged> command, entered from the global configuration context.)
Note The actual CLI prompt on the AP 420 reads: HP ProCurve Access Point 420 This course will use the shortened prompt: ProCurve AP 420
When you enter commands in the AP 420 CLI, they are automatically saved to the startup-config. You do not have to enter the write memory command.

The AP 530 offers many of the same features that the AP 420 provides, with several additional features. For example, the AP 530 includes two built-in radios. Radio 1 supports 802.1 1g, 802.1 1b, and 802.1 1g with fallback support for 802.1 1b. Radio 2 supports all of these options, as well as 802.1 1a. The radios can be set to the same 802.1 1 standard or to different standards. However, whenever Radio 2 is configured to use 802.1 1b/g, it must be connected to an external antenna. The external antenna should be separated from the internal antenna by 2 to 4 meters.

The AP 530 supports the following antennas:

ProCurve 5 dBi Indoor/Outdoor Omnidirectional Antenna (J8441A) ProCurve 8 dBi Outdoor Omnidirectional Antenna (J8444A) ProCurve 14 dBi Yagi Antenna (J8448B) ProCurve Antenna Lightning Arrester (J8996A) ProCurve 3 dBi Dual Band Diversity Antenna (J8997A) ProCurve 6 dBi 5 GHz Omnidirectional Antenna (J8998A) ProCurve 7 dBi Dual Band Directional Antenna (J8999A)

The AP 530 has four LEDs:

Power LED Radio 1 LED Radio 2 LED LAN LED
Power LED
View the Power LED to verify the AP 530 is on and has loaded successfully; in this case, the LED glows solid green. If the LED is off, the AP is not receiving power. Look for problems with the power cord or with PoE. While the AP 530 initially loads, all LEDs blink. The pattern of the blinking indicates the stage in the boot-up processfor example, loading the boot software or decompressing the software. If the LEDs continue to blink too long, you can match the pattern to the stage and attempt to rectify the problem. (Refer to the table below.) For example, when the LAN and radio 2 LEDs remain on (stage 5), but the radio 1 LED does not also turn on (stage 6), the AP cannot initialize the software, which may be corrupt.

Radio LEDs
The ProCurve AP 530 has two Radio LEDs labeled Radio 1 and Radio 2. Both LEDs behave in the same manner: they are off when the radio is disabled and blink when the radio is enabled. The rapidity of the blinking indicates the amount of activity on the radio: the faster the blinking, the more traffic. When the radio is not sending or receiving any traffic but the radio is on, the LED blinks once every five seconds. On the other hand, when all bandwidth on a radio is consumed, the LED glows solid green. View the radio LEDs to track wireless activity and monitor for congestion.
LAN LED
The LAN LED reports the status of the AP 530s Ethernet connection. When the LAN LED is off, the Ethernet connection (either the Physical Layer or the Data Link Layer) is down. When on, the LAN LED blinks to signal the amount of activity on the line.

Username and Password

When prompted, enter the default username and password: Username: admin Password: admin

You must set the AP 530s country code so that it uses the authorized radio channels for wireless network devices in the country in which it operates. The country code must be set before configuring other radio settings because it affects the radio channels that are available. Enter this command to set the country code:
ProCurve AP 530# country <code> Note You can see a complete list of available country codes by using the country ? command. At factory default settings, the country code is preset to US in the HP ProCurve Access Point 530 NA (J8986A). On the AP 530 NA, the code can be changed from US to only the code for Canada, Mexico, or Taiwan. When the code is set to Canada, Mexico, or Taiwan and you want to reset it to US, you must reset the AP to its factory defaults. The radios are disabled if the country code is not set. When the country code is set, the radios can be enabled. When you reset the unit to its factory default settings, the HP ProCurve Access Point 530 WW (J8987A) requires that you set its country code. The AP 530 NA returns to US.
Specify IP Settings
Like the AP 420, the AP 530 takes a dynamic address by default. If a DHCP server is not available, however, the AP 530 uses this IP address: 192.168.1.10/24.
Note If you connect two AP 530s set to factory defaults to the same network, you should immediately connect to them with console sessions and change their IP addresses. Otherwise, the duplicate IP address may cause confusion.
To set the AP 530s static IP address manually, enter these commands:

ProCurve AP ProCurve AP ProCurve AP <A.B.C.D>] ProCurve AP 530# configure 530(config)# interface ethernet 530(ethernet)# ip address <A.B.C.D> [/<prefix length> | 530(ethernet)# ip default-gateway <A.B.C.D>

Download a Configuration File from a Remote Server

The AP 530 can obtain a configuration file from a remote TFTP, FTP, or SCP server. This AP can store two configuration files: a startup-config file, which stores the settings that this AP runs, and a custom-default configuration file, which stores default settings that have been customized for all APs in a system. You can download a configuration file from a remote server to either of these files on the AP 530. Enter this command:
ProCurve AP 530# copy <tftp | ftp | scp> <startup-config | customconfig> <A.B.C.D> <filename> [user-name <user> password <password>]
Replace <A.B.C.D> with the IP address of the server and <filename> with the name under which the configuration file is stored on the server. For FTP or SCP, you may need to enter a valid username and password.
Copy a Configuration File from the AP 530 to a Remote Server

You can also copy a configuration file from the AP 530 to a remote TFTP, FTP, or SCP server. For example, you might want to create a custom-default configuration and transfer that file to the remote server to be uploaded to another AP. Or you might want to backup the APs startup-config. Enter this command:
ProCurve AP 530# copy <startup-config | custom-config> <tftp | ftp | scp> <A.B.C.D> <filename> [user-name <user> password <password>]
Replace <A.B.C.D> with the IP address of the server and <filename> with the name under which you want to store the configuration file on the server. For FTP or SCP, you may need to enter a valid username and password.

View the Power LED to verify the AP 10ag is receiving power. If the LED is off, the AP is not receiving power. Look for problems with the power cord or with PoE.
Diag LED
This amber LED blinks when a reset to factory default settings is in progress.
LAN LED
The LAN LEDs report the status of the AP 10ags Ethernet connection. When the LAN LED is off, the Ethernet connection (either the Physical Layer or the Data Link Layer) is down. When the Ethernet connection is established, the LED blinks at a rate proportional to the traffic it is handling.
Wireless LEDs
The Wireless LEDs indicate the status of the radios. If the LED is off, either the radio is disabled or no stations are currently connected. When the radio is enabled, its LED blinks at a rate proportional to the traffic it is handling. The table on the following page lists the LEDs, their behaviors, and what the behaviors indicate.

Blinking stops when the AP has completed resetting to factory defaults and is about to reboot. Normal state The RJ-45 port has no network cable connected, or is not receiving a link signal. Try swapping the Ethernet cable. Also check the settings on the uplink switch. Verify that the port is enabled and does not require authentication. 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 further bandwidth available on the port. The wireless interface may be disabled. Check the radio status on the Information page. The wireless interface is enabled and 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 second. As the traffic rate increases, the blinking rate also increases until the LED is solid green, which indicates there no available bandwidth on the interface.

Wireless Edge Services Module

As the central controller for the wireless network, the Wireless Edge Services Module provides the intelligence for the RPs, which are coordinated APs. Rather than configuring each RP separately, you configure settings on the Wireless Module. When the Wireless Module adopts connected RPs, it downloads your configuration settings to them.
Redundant Module
The Wireless LAN System can also include the Redundant Wireless Services Module, which provides failover capabilities in the event that the Wireless Module becomes unavailable for any reason. The only optional component in the Wireless LAN System, the Redundant Module also provides load sharing capabilities, which are discussed in the Mobility v8.21 course.
Wireless Services-Enabled Switch

A Wireless Edge Services zl Module must be installed in either a 5400zl switch or a Switch 8212zl. A Wireless Edge Services xl Module must be installed in a 5300xl switch. A Redundant Wireless Services zl Module is also installed in either a 5400zl switch or a Switch 8212zl. It can be installed in the same switch as the primary module or a different switch. Similarly, a Redundant Wireless Services xl Module can be installed in the same 5300xl switch as the primary module or a different switch. After you install a Wireless Edge Services Module or a Redundant Wireless Services Module in a switch, it is referred to as a wireless services-enabled switch.
RPs
RPs provide the radio signals that are used to establish the wireless network. Because they are coordinated APs, however, the RPs cannot create a wireless network on their own. They must first establish communication with and be adopted by a Wireless Module to receive the appropriate WLAN configurations. They then forward traffic from stations to the Wireless Module, which processes the traffic. ProCurve Networking offers three RPs, which support a variety of 802.1 1b/g and 802.1 1a combinations: RP 210, RP 220, and RP 230. The RPs 210 and 230 do not support external antennas. The RP 220 requires at least one external antenna and supports the following models:

ProCurve Antenna Lightning Arrester (J8996A) ProCurve 3 dBi Dual Band Diversity Antenna (J8997A) ProCurve 6 dBi 5 GHz Omnidirectional Antenna (J8998A) ProCurve 7 dBi Dual Band Directional Antenna (J8999A) ProCurve 14 dBi 5 GHz Directional Antenna (J9000A) ProCurve 5 dBi Indoor/Outdoor Omnidirectional Antenna (J8441A)
B 53
Rev. 10.31
ProCurve 8 dBi Outdoor Omnidirectional Antenna (J8444A) ProCurve 14 dBi Yagi Antenna (J8448B)
RP Licenses
To adopt an RP, the Wireless Module must have sufficient RP licenses. Each Wireless Edge Services xl Module or Wireless Edge Services zl Module ships with 12 nonremovable RP licenses, which allow the module to adopt up to 12 RPs. The module will not adopt more than 12 RPs unless the customer purchases and installs additional licenses:
For the Wireless Edge Services xl Module:

Before an RP can forward traffic on the network, it must be adopted by its controllerthe Wireless Module. When it adopts an RP, the Wireless Module sends configuration settings to the RP and manages it according to the parameters you have defined. The RP can then send and receive network traffic. The Module can adopt RPs automatically, or you can control the process with manual adoption.
Automatic adoption: The Module adopts any RP it detects until it reaches its maximum number of RP licenses. This is the default setting. Manual adoption: The MAC address of each authorized RP is configured on the Wireless Module, which adopts only these APs.
Whether you choose automatic or manual adoption, the following conditions must be met before the Wireless Module can adopt an RP:

The country code must be set on the Wireless Module. The Wireless Module must have enough RP licenses to adopt the RP. The Wireless Module must detect the RP. As illustrated in the slide, the Radio Port VLAN (default, 2100) must extend between the RP and the Wireless Module. This VLAN is automatically tagged on the modules downlink port and, with auto-provisioning on ProVision ASIC switches and 5300xl switches, ports to which RPs connect automatically become members of this VLAN. When RPs connect to other types of switches, you must

make RP ports untagged members of the Radio Port VLAN. You also need to add the RP VLAN to uplink ports. The Wireless Module also supports Layer 3 adoption, which allows RPs on different VLANs to be adopted. However, this topic is beyond the scope of this course.

Install the Wireless Module

You install the Wireless Edge Services zl Module in the 5400zl or 8212zl Switch, and you install the Wireless Edge Services xl Module in the 5300xl Switch. Be careful to insert the Wireless Module correctly so that you do not inadvertently damage any of the components. (Damage caused by incorrectly installing the Wireless Module is not covered by the ProCurve warranty.)
LED Activity During the Boot Process

After you install the Wireless Module and power up the wireless services-enabled switch, you can observe the LEDs on the Wireless Module to monitor its boot process. When the boot process begins, the Module Status LED lights up, indicating the start of the Wireless Modules self-test. At the same time, the Module Activity LEDs all light up and then begin to indicate the percent of the startup process that has been completed. For example, when 10 percent of the startup process is completed, the 10% LED lights up; when 50 percent of the startup process is completed, the 50% LED lights up. When the self-test is completed, the Module Fault light turns off. This occurs at nearly the same time the 80% LED lights up, indicating that 80 percent of the startup process is completed. When the Wireless Module is ready to begin receiving and transmitting traffic, the Module Ready LED lights up.

To initially set up an ACM, you must access the 5300xl switch in which the ACM is installed. Then access the Access Controller context of the switch CLI. Enter this command from the global configuration level:
ProCurve(config)# access-controller <slot>
The prompt changes to reflect the new context:

ProCurve(access-controller-<slot>)#
Specify IP Settings
Configure the IP address of the ACM with this command:
ProCurve(access-controller<slot>)# ip address <A.B.C.D> <subnet mask | /prefix length>
When the ACM is on a different subnet from the ACS 745wl, the ACM requires a default gateway, which is configured with this command:
ProCurve(access-controller-<slot>)# ip default-gateway <A.B.C.D>
For example, enter these commands:

ProCurve(access-controller-b)# ip address 192.168.5.50/24 ProCurve(access-controller-b)# ip default-gateway 192.168.5.1

The ACM must be able to reach the ACS 745wl on its uplink port. In the illustration, the ACMs uplink port is tagged for VLAN 2, and the ACS 745wls uplink port is also on VLAN 2. Both devices would have an IP address on the same subnet. It is also possible for the ACS 745wls and ACMs communications to be routed. So that the ACM can control AP, the APs must connect to ports that are members of the VLAN on the ACMs downlink port (VLAN 5 in the illustration).

You can update the ACS 745wls software from a TFTP or FTP server. For example, you can save the file with the new software on your own TFTP server. Or, if the ACS 745wl has an Internet connection, you can upgrade from the ProCurve Networking FTP site. Upgrading software on the ACS 745wl is slightly different from other products discussed in this module because you must obtain a key. Enter this command from the manager level of the ACS 745wls CLI:
ProCurve 700wl Series: get upgrade <url> <key> [reboot]

tftp://<A.B.C.D or hostname>/<path>/<filename> ftp://<A.B.C.D or hostname>/<path>/<filename>
The default ProCurve Networking FTP site is: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/networking/software/700software/ambit4-hp The ACS 745wl begins to run the new software after you reboot it. Specify the reboot option if you want the ACS 745wl reboot immediately after downloading the new software. Note that this can cause a temporary wireless network outage.

Rev. 10.31
You might want to create a backup configuration file for archival purposes, particularly before upgrading the software. You can store the backup file on an external FTP server. You can then copy the file back the ACS 745wl if necessary. (You could also copy the configuration to another ACS 745wl.) The ACS 745wl can store only one backup file. The backup configuration includes the configuration for the ACS 745wl and the information that the ACS 745wl has on ACMs; however, it does not back up the ACMs individual configurations. Use the commands shown in the slide to manage the backup configuration file.
Create a Backup File

Note that creating the backup configuration file briefly shuts down the system, which can cause a wireless network outage. To create the file, enter this command from the enable level of the CLI:
ProCurve 700wl Series: create backup
The enter y to confirm.

Copy a Backup File to an FTP Server

To copy the backup configuration file from the ACS 745wl to an FTP server, enter this command from the enable level:
ProCurve 700wl Series: store backup <url> [<path/filename>]

tftp://<hostname or A.B.C.D> ftp://<username>:<password>@<hostname or A.B.C.D>
For example:
ProCurve 745wl# store backup ftp://acs:procurve@procurve.com
If the FTP server supports anonymous login, simply specify the URL. For example:
ProCurve 745wl# store backup ftp://192.168.6.3
The [<path/filename>] option specifies the filename under which the backup configuration file is stored on the FTP server and is optional. (By default, the filename is hp-yyyy-mm-dd, indicating the time at which the file is saved.) If you do choose to specify your own filename, you must take care when entering the path. When you log in with a username, you must specify the complete path for the file. When you log in anonymously, you must specify the path from the root FTP directory.
Copy a File from an FTP Server to the ACS 745wl

To copy a previously saved backup file from an FTP server to an ACS 745wl, enter this command:
ProCurve 700wl Series: get backup <url>/<path/filename>
As when copying the backup file to the FTP server, you can log in to the FTP server with a username or anonymously (depending on your servers requirements). You must specify the path and filename for the file that you want to copy to the ACS 745wl. Again, specify the complete path when you log in with a username and the path from the root FTP directory when you log in anonymously.
Restore from a Backup File

To restore the ACS 745wl to the backup configuration that you downloaded from the FTP server, enter this command:
ProCurve 700wl Series: restore backup
The ACS 745wl copies the backup configuration to its running and startup configuration and reboots. However, the configuration for the uplink port remains unaltered; therefore, you can use a backup configuration from another ACS 745wl to copy settings to a new ACS 745wl without causing a duplicate IP address in the network. Note that this command causes a temporary wireless network outage.

Sometimes you need to reset a system to the factory default configuration. Remember: all configurations on the ACS 745wl are reset, including IP settings and uplink port configuration. In addition, the backup configuration file is erased, so you should copy it to the local management station (or an FTP server) before you reset to factory defaults. ACMs are also reset to factory defaults. Enter this command from the ACS 745wl CLI manager level:
ProCurve 700wl Series: factoryreset
Then enter y to confirm. The ACS 745wl reboots and, when it restarts, it is running the factory default configuration. This command can cause a wireless network outage.

From the Web browser interface, you can reset the ACS 745wl or one of its ACMs to factory defaults. Note that, when you reset an ACM to factory defaults, you must then delete the ACM from the ACS 745wl configuration. Otherwise, the next time that the ACM connects to the ACS 745wl (after you reconfigure it to do so), it will received its old configuration. Follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. In the top navigation bar, click the Maint button. Click the Shutdown/Restart tab. Select the component that you want to reset to factory defaults (Access Control Server or Access Controller). Click Reset to Factory Defaults. You are asked to confirm the action. Click Continue.
If you have reset the ACS 745wl, the device reboots, so you will lose management access.
