IMPORTANT: For regulatory identification purposes, the HP 425 is assigned a regulatory model number (RMN) BJNGA-FB0002. This regulatory number should not be confused with the marketing name HP 425, or product code JG653A, JG654A, JG655A, JG656A, JG687A, and JG688A. Safety recommendations...
Determine the installation position by observing the following principles: • To meet regulatory RF exposure requirements, install the device at a location where the radiating antenna can be kept 40 cm (15.75 in) from any person. Leave as few obstacles (such as wall) as possible between APs and clients. •...
LEDs." Verify that cabling has been completed. • The device supports 802.3af-compliant PoE. To achieve the best performance, HP recommends that • you use a GE connection to the power device. Record the MAC address and serial number of the AP (marked on the rear of the AP) for future use.
Installing the AP Figure 1 Installation flowchart The device can only be used indoors and has built-in antennas. When you install the AP, determine whether external antennas are needed. External antennas are not included with the AP and this document does not include external antenna installation procedures.
