DonFromCanada Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Not specifically an AV device, but a networking device...I'm not very familiar with HP's products for network, but this looks really cool for stealth Wifi..http://h10144.www1.hp.com/products/wireless/HP_ProCurve_MultiService_Access_Device_Series/overview.htm#J9422A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.cytexone Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 That looks really cool I'm curious to hear if anyone has used these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFUG Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yes, but guys, you still need the MSM7xx controller. Want to guess what that costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGo Delicious Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yes, but guys, you still need the MSM7xx controller. Want to guess what that costs?The MS Series controller is not a requirement for the MSM317 (MSRP ~$400.00). All you need is a single POE ethernet drop.

CFUG Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 ^And how does one deal with multiple WAPs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGo Delicious Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 ^And how does one deal with multiple WAPs?The MSM317 is basically a 4 port switch with WiFi Access. You have an uplink port that is connected to a POE switch. As far as management goes you can use a number of different tools, SNMP, RADIUS, HP ProCurve Manager, HP ProCurve Mobility Manager, HTTP (Web Interface), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonFromCanada Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yes, but guys, you still need the MSM7xx controller. Want to guess what that costs?Do you know, or just asking? Just checked on HP online and a MSM710 is retail for just under $1000.. There's a 710, 730, 750, 760, 765, 765zi models to be had...Looks like the 710 supports up to 10 AP's, and the 760 supports unlimited APs.. big difference in price though - the 760 is $9000. Looks like the little one is for offices where the walls intercept Wifi too much, and the big boy is for carrier-level services. The features list includes features like a captive portal and guest access management features for authentication. (Think any public wifi hotspot that intercepts whatever URLs you type in and sends you to their login page)I always wondered how they did that...?Very cool.

CFUG Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 ^Correct, just asking. It looks as though Cisco and Netgear are head-to-head on their product lineups. Netgear recently released small-business controllers for those who don't need the large enterprise unit.I'm still not understanding how multiple WAPs are used say for example in a VoIP case or just plain roaming. Are the wall units meshed together intelligently?? Do they modulate power, listen for rogues and change channels as needed??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
