hp WL520 enterprise access point user guide
● 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 1-3 (also on pages 2-13, 2-14, 2-15, 2-16, and other
locations), 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 1-4 in the User Guide, and to the
booklet entitled HP ProCurve Wireless Products Regulatory and Radio
Approvals Booklet that came with your 160wl card or AP. These sources
provide information on regulatory restrictions regarding channel selection
to help you determine channels that are acceptable for use in your country.
– the following changes should be made to the table under “auto channel
select” on page 1-4:
• in the column labeled “2.4 ghz (802.11b)”:
– the heading should read “2.4 GHz (802.11b)”
– the value for Frequency Channel 7 should be 2.442 GHz
– the value for Frequency Channel 14 should be 2484 MHz (Japan only)
• in the column labeled “5 ghz (802.11a)”:
– the heading should read “5 GHz (802.11a)”
– The following FCC caution should be added:
Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the following
antenna installation and device operating configurations must be satisfied:
a. For configurations using the integral antenna, the separation distance
between the antenna(s) and any person’s body (including hands, wrists,
feet, and ankles) must be at least 2.5 cm (1 inch).
b. For configurations using an approved external antenna, the separation
distance between the antenna and any person’s body (including hands,
wrists, feet, and ankles) must be at least 20 cm (8 inches).
