HP E-MSM317 Access Device

Overview:

HP E-MSM317 Access Device integrates wired and wireless connectivity into a small unit that can be quickly and discretely installed in a standard wall outlet box. It provides four Ethernet ports, a 2.4 GHz wireless access point, and a pass-through RJ-45 connection to support a range of service and user connectivity options. One of the front panel Ethernet ports can be configured as an IEEE 802.3af-compliant PSE port to enable devices such as IP telephones to be powered directly from the unit. The HP E-MSM317 Access Device requires a single Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable drop, reducing cabling, switch ports, and power sourcing equipment. The product is designed to provide wireless coverage for a 440 square foot (40 square meter) room. Actual coverage area, and signal levels within the coverage area, will be effected by mounting location, building construction and obstacles.

• Single radio
• IEEE 802.11b/g
• Self-healing, self-optimizing local mesh
• Two internal antennas
• 4 10/100 managed Ethernet ports

Features and Benefits:

Quality of Service (QoS)

• IEEE 802.1p prioritization — delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic
• 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
• Wireless —
  • L2/L3/L4 classification: IEEE 802.1p VLAN priority, SpectraLink SVP and DiffServ
  • Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM), IEEE 802.11e EDCF, and Service-Aware priority assigned by VSC
  • Maximum VoIP call capacity: 8 active calls on IEEE 802.11b/g
• Network management —
  • Fully manageable using HP Manager and HP Mobility Manager
  • SNMP v2c, SNMP v3, MIB-II with Traps, and RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC 2618)
  • Embedded HTML management tool with secure access (SSL and VPN)
  • Scheduled configuration and firmware upgrades from central server
• Diagnostic —
  • Client event log records association, authentication, and DHCP events
  • Packet capture tool for Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 interfaces (PCAP format)
  • Data rate matrix
• RF management —
  • Automatically selects channel on power-up and continuously improves channel selection based on background interference scan
  • Configurable background rogue scanning
  • Automatically adjusts transmit power to reduce interference

Connectivity

• Auto-MDIX — automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 ports
• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet 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. Unit can be powered by 802.3af or PoE+ source
• Power Forwarding — PoE Class 2 (6.49W) when powered by 802.3af

Mobility

• Anywhere, anytime wireless coverage —
  • Single radio IEEE 802.11b/g access points with integrated antenna
  • Per-radio software-selectable configuration of frequency bands
  • Self-healing, self-optimizing local mesh extends network availability
• Interoperability — Wi-Fi Alliance certifications, including IEEE 802.11g Wi-Fi and WPA2 to help ensure multivendor interoperability
• Virtual Service Communities (VSCs) —
  • Up to 16 SSIDs, each with unique MAC address, configurable SSID broadcasts
  • Individual security and QoS profiles per VSC
  • Configurable DTIM and minimum data rate per VSC
  • Each VSC mapped to separate VLANs
  • WMM and/or WMM-PS
  • Security filter
  • 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
• Captive portal functions —
  • Splash page advertisement support
  • New user versus already registered
  • Ad page advertisement support
  • Static advertizing support
  • Frame insertion support
  • Static advertizing support
• Auto Channel Select (ACS) — helps reduce radio co-channel interference by automatically selecting an unoccupied radio channel

• Choice of IEEE 802.11i, Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (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
• Local wireless bridge client traffic filtering — when enabled, prevents communication between wireless devices associated with the same access point
• IEEE 802.1X — 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
