Product overview 

HP offers intelligent IEEE 802.11n wireless access points, ranging 

from our single-radio 802.11a/b/g/n to our dual 802.11a/b/g/n 

access points. The MSM access points are advanced wireless devices 

that provide consistent, easy-to-manage connectivity that expands 

your existing network. The access points maintain your network 

without interruption and reduce bottlenecks and network complexity 

by determining where data needs to go throughout the network. The 

MSM access points provide complete wireless coverage for greater 

reliability and connectivity and can be used in managed mode as well 

as autonomous mode without a controller. 

Working in unison with HP MSM controllers, the HP MSM-802.11n 

Access Point Series delivers high-performance networking solutions. 

The enhanced controller architecture scales to IEEE 802.11n without 

requiring a controller replacement. The MSM controller provides 

advanced radio resource management (RRM), including client load 

balancing and interference mitigation. The MSM wireless controllers

Features and benefits 

Management 

• Wi-Fi Clear Connect 

provides a system-wide approach to improve WLAN reliability by 

proactively determining and adjusting to changing RF conditions; 

helps optimize WLAN performance by detecting interference from 

Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi sources using Spectrum Analysis capabilities 

built into the access points, identifying rogue activity and making 

decisions at a system-wide level 

• Advanced radio resource management 

– Automatic radio power adjustments 

include real-time power adjustments based on changing 

environmental conditions and signal coverage adjustment 

– Automatic radio channel 

provides intelligent channel switching and real-time Interference 

detection 

– Intelligent client load balancing 

determines number of clients across neighboring APs and adjusts 

client allocation to balance the load 

– Airtime fairness 

provides equal RF transmission time for wireless clients 

• Integrated IDS (Premium Mobility version required) 

– detects and locates unknown and rogue devices 

• Access point management 

provides secure Web browser (SSL, VPN), command-line interface, 

SNMP v2c, SNMP v3, MIB-II with traps, and RADIUS Authentication 

Client MIB (RFC 2618); offers embedded HTML management tool 

with secure access (SSL and VPN); implements scheduled 

configuration and firmware upgrades from a central controller 

• HP Intelligent Management Center and Wireless Services Manager 

Software 

provides central management for discovery, logging, status, and 

configuration management 

• Diagnostics 

client event log records association, authentication, and DHCP 

events; packet capture tool for Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 interfaces 

(PCAP format); data rate matrix 

• Enhanced AP survivability 

continues to operate using the old IP address while the AP searches 

for a new controller 

Quality of Service (QoS) 

• Rate limiting 

supports per-wireless client ingress-enforced maximums and 

per-wireless client, per-queue guaranteed minimums 

• Centralized traffic 

Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS settings are maintained when using 

Mobility Traffic Manager or guest access 

• IEEE 802.1p prioritization 

delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic 

• Wireless 

– L2/L3/L4 classification 

IEEE 802.1p VLAN priority, SpectraLink SVP, and DiffServ 

– Assigned by VSC 

Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM), IEEE 802.11e EDCF, and Service-Aware 

priority 

– Maximum VoIP call capacity 

12 active calls on IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n 

• SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) support 

prioritizes SpectraLink voice IP packets sent from a SpectraLink 

NetLink SVP server to SpectraLink wireless voice handsets to help 

ensure excellent voice quality 

Connectivity 

• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support 

simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces installation costs 

by helping to eliminate the time and cost involved in supplying local 

power at each access point location 

• Auto-MDIX 

automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on 

all 10/100 ports 

Mobility 

• Anywhere, anytime wireless coverage 

includes a single radio IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n access point; per-radio 

software-selectable configuration of frequency bands; self-healing, 

self-optimizing local mesh that extends network availability; Wi-Fi 

Alliance Certification for interoperability with all IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n 

client devices; and IEEE 802.3af PoE 

• Medical standards 

meets the European EN60601-1-2 standard for healthcare 

• Interoperability 

Wi-Fi Alliance Certifications, including IEEE 802.11g Wi-Fi and WPA2, 

to help ensure multivendor interoperability 

• Virtual Service Communities (VSCs) 

includes up to 16 SSIDs, each with unique MAC address and 

configurable SSID broadcasts; individual security and QoS profiles 

per VSC; configurable DTIM and minimum data rate per VSC; VSCs 

that can be mapped to separate IEEE 802.1Q VLANs; WMM and/or 

WMM-PS; a security filter; and an IP filter 

• AP client access control functions 

– IEEE 802.1X authentication using EAP-SIM, EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, 

EAP-TTLS, and PEAP 

– MAC address authentication using local or RADIUS access lists 

– RADIUS AAA using EAP-MD5, PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAPv2 

– RADIUS Client (RFC 2865 and 2866) with location-aware support 

– Layer 2 wireless client isolation 

2

Security 

• Integrated IDS support (Premium Mobility version required) 

– Automated AP and client classification 

reduces manual effort (administrator can override AP 

classification) 

– Comprehensive detection capabilities 

detects a wide range of attacks 

– Flexible event reporting 

enables configuration of which events will result in notifications 

– Location tracking capabilities 

helps identify the location of the rogue device 

– Flexible deployment models 

supports time slicing or dedicating a radio to detect fulltime 

• IEEE 802.1X support 

provides port-based user authentication with support for Extensible 

Authentication Protocol (EAP) MD5, TLS, TTLS, and PEAP with choice 

of AES, TKIP, and static or dynamic WEP encryption for protecting 

wireless traffic between authenticated clients and the access point 

• Choice of IEEE 802.11i, WPA2, or WPA 

locks out unauthorized wireless access by authenticating users prior 

to granting network access; robust Advanced Encryption Standard 

(AES) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption secures 

the data integrity of wireless traffic 

• TKIP/WEP encryption 

is supported only on legacy IEEE 802.11a/b/g clients as it has been 

deprecated from the IEEE 802.11n standard 

• Local wireless bridge client traffic filtering 

when enabled, prevents communication between wireless devices 

associated with the same access point
