2 Installing the HP 501 The HP 501 is suited for indoor installation on a desktop, wall, ceiling, or in a plenum. The end user is responsible for ensuring that installation and use comply with local safety and radio regulations. IMPORTANT: This device requires professional installation.
Wall or ceiling installation When mounting the HP 501 on a wall or ceiling, ensure that the mounting surface and the fasteners you use can support at least 0.9 kg (2 lb). Allow extra weight for cables. WARNING! Areas above false ceilings can contain dangerous electrical cabling, gas pipes, and other hazards. Make whatever safety arrangements are needed to ensure that you can work safely above the false ceiling. HP recommends that you use a non-conductive step ladder such as one made of fiberglass. 1. 2. 3.
2. Slide the HP 501 base onto the mounting bracket, and then place it on the desktop. Figure 4 Desktop installation 1. HP 501 NOTE: 3. 2. Mounting bracket Do not power on the HP 501 until directed to do so. Proceed to “Initial configuration” (page 9). Plenum installation To install the device in a plenum, you must use plenum-rated cables and attachment hardware. HP recommends that you install the HP 501 in a similar orientation as in a ceiling installation.
3 Initial configuration This chapter describes how to configure a factory-default HP 501. The sample configuration links a wired computer to a private network through a wireless connection to an AP. For instructions on how to configure other scenarios, see the HP 501 802.11ac Wireless Client Bridge Configuration and Administration Guide. Figure 5 Simple scenario Wired computer NOTE: HP 501 AP Private network Follow the procedures in the order listed. Configure your computer 1. 2.
2. Power on the HP 501 by powering on the PoE switch, power injector, or by plugging in the AC/DC adapter. Initially, the HP 501 power LED flashes amber. Wait approximately one minute until it turns green before proceeding to the next step. 3. Connect the LAN port on your computer to the Ethernet port on the HP 501 using a standard Ethernet cable. Connect to the management tool 1. 2. 3. In a web browser, enter https://192.168.1.1.
server. The HP 501 Ethernet MAC address is printed on the HP 501 label identified as MAC ADDR, and listed on the management tool Home page as MAC address. • Assign a static IP address to the HP 501. The address must be on the same subnet as the network to which the HP 501 connects. 1. Select Network > IP. 2. Under IPv4 Configuration, select Static IP for the connection type. For Static IP address, set an address that is on the same subnet as the network to which the HP 501 connects after installation.
4. 5. 6. 7. Reconnect your computer to the HP 501. Confirm that your wireless network interface is still disabled (it was disabled during an earlier configuration step). Enable the computer Ethernet network interface, and verify that it is set to automatically obtain an IP address from DHCP. Confirm that you can browse the Internet from your computer.
