located in several directories on the CD.

An older version of the User Guide and the CLI manual are installed if you choose the

option to install the documentation from the CD.

The latest version of the User Guide is the following file on the CD:

This version of the User Guide includes the latest CLI information in chapter 6, “Using

the command line interface”.

hp WL520 enterprise access point user guide.

● The latest version of the User Guide on the CD is in the file:

\AP\Docs\english\pdf\HP_Enterprise AP_UGnew.pdf

Other versions, including the version that is installed if you install the

documentation from the CD, should be ignored.

● Throughout this document, the product is referred to by various names that

include WL520. All such references should be taken to mean the HP

ProCurve Wireless Access Point 520wl.

● The “standard RS-232C serial data cable” referred to on page 5-6, page 8-2,

and a few other locations in the User Guide, must be a “straight-through”

cable, not a “null modem” cable. The console cable that is supplied with the

managed HP ProCurve switch products will not work.

● chapter 1 – Introducing the hp WL520 enterprise access point:

– the text on page 1-5 (also on pages 2-11 and 2-13), refers to an Auto

Channel Select (ACS) feature. This feature is enabled by default for the

520wl.

If your country has channel restrictions, the ACS feature should be

disabled and an appropriate channel for your country should be configured

manually. Please refer to the table on page 1-5 in the User Guide, and to the

booklet entitled Information to the User that came with your 150wl card.

These sources provide information on regulatory restrictions regarding

channel selection to help you determine channels that are acceptable for use

in your country.
