Getting started

Scenario 1: Connecting wired devices to a wireless network

The MSM AP is operating in autonomous mode in its factory-default configuration. (As such, it obtains an IP address of 5.25 from the DHCP server and creates a wireless network call HP ProCurve.) Install the MSM AP as described in its Quickstart.

The wired computers are configured to obtain their IP addresses automatically (DHCP clients).

Configuration procedure

Configuration of the M111 occurs via its Web-based management tool. To access this tool you need a computer running at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 7/8 or Firefox 3.x.

Note

Do not power on the M111 until directed.
