Getting Started
Step 1 - Review the equipment list, connect the
equipment, verify the ProCurve zl Switch software.
The following is an example equipment list for building a wireless LAN system
with a wireless services-enabled switch.
■ ProCurve zl Switch (such as 5406zl, 5412zl, or 8212zl).
■ ProCurve Module (J9051A).
■ ProCurve Radio Port 230 (J9006A) or 210 (J9004A).
■ ProCurve zl Modules for wired connectivity, for example, ProCurve
Switch zl 24 port Gig-T PoE Module (J8702A).
■ PC for connecting to the console port and an Ethernet port on the wireless
services-enabled switch.
■ Serial port and Ethernet cables.
The system may also have the following equipment:
■ ProCurve Redundant Module (J9052A).
■ ProCurve Radio Port 220 (J9005A) with external antennas.
A wireless services-enabled zl Switch (such as 5406zl, 5412zl or 8212zl) has
the following recommended minimum requirements:
• ProCurve switches must be connected to a network with DHCP
services enabled, or have a local DHCP service to provide IP
addresses.
• ProCurve switches must have at least one module for connecting to
the wired network.
• Except for the mini-GBIC or 10-Gig ports, all of the module ports on
the ProCurve zl switches are enabled for PoE.
Verify zl Switch Software
Start a console session. The following CLI commands show the switch soft-
ware version. The ProCurve zl switch software must be version K.12.40 or
later.
