This chapter assumes that you have installed your HP ProCurve Access Control Server or Integrated
Access Manager as instructed in the 700wl Series Quick Start Guide or the 700wl Series Installation and
Getting Started Guide. This chapter takes you through the next steps towards configuring and using the
700wl Series system. The first section takes you through the required settings from the “Complete the
Configuration” steps in the 700wl Series System Quick Start Guide.
This chapter assumes you are new to the 700wl Series system. For users who are upgrading their 700wl
Series system from a previous software version to version 4.1, you should read the 700wl Series
Introduction to Software Version 4.x. The Introduction to Software Version 4.x document introduces you to
software version 4.0 as part of the process of migrating your system, and explains what has changed from
versions 3.0 and 3.1.
Initial Configuration of the 700wl Series System
The initial configuration of a 700wl Series system component, sufficient to allow network access, is
described in both the 700wl Series Quick Start Guide shipped with each hardware unit, and in more detail
in the 700wl Series Installation and Getting Started Guide.
If you have installed your 700wl Series system according to the instructions in the Quick Start Guide, it
should be configured with a set of basic network configuration settings.
For an Access Control Server, these settings include:
• An IP address of the Access Control Server
• Subnet mask that defines the subnet associated with the Access Control Server (the default is
255.255.255.0 (/24))
• Name of the domain in which the 700wl Series system resides
• Default router (gateway) IP address
