Using the 700wl Series System
• Primary and secondary DNS server addresses
• Shared secret, used to enable Access Controllers or a peer Access Control Server to establish a trusted
communication relationship with the Access Control Server. This is actually an optional item in the
initial installation process of an Access Control Server, but no system components will be able to
communicate with the 700wl Series system until this is set, so it is recommended that you do it as part
of the initial installation.
For an Access Controller, the initial settings include:
• IP address of the Access Controller
• Subnet mask that defines the subnet associated with the Access Controller (the default is
255.255.255.0 (/24))
• Domain name
• Default router (gateway) IP address
• Primary and secondary DNS server addresses
• IP address of the Access Control Server that will manage the Access Controller
• Shared secret of the Access Control Server
If you allow your 700wl Series system components to get their IP address from a DHCP server, the
DHCP server can provide the domain, default router IP address, DNS addresses, and WINS addresses.
On a newly-installed or Factory Reset Access Control Server, the following defaults are in effect:
• The DHCP address range for use with NAT’ed clients is the 42.0.0.0 subnet
• An HP ProCurve-signed SSL certificate is in place
• SNMP is disabled
• Wireless Data Privacy settings (encryption protocols) are disabled
• The default Authentication Policy uses the built-in database for user authentication
Managing and Administering the 700wl Series System
A 700wl Series system consists of an HP ProCurve Access Control Server and one or more HP ProCurve
Access Controllers, or an HP ProCurve Integrated Access Manager, optionally with additional Access
Controllers connected. All the elements of your 700wl Series system are configured, monitored and
managed centrally from the Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager. This monitoring and
management is done through the Administrative Console, a web-browser-based interface that runs on the
Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager.
Note: An HP ProCurve Integrated Access Manager is effectively an Access Control Server and an
Access Controller physically integrated into a single module. However, the 700wl Series system
software internally handles the functions within an Integrated Access Manager as if they are two
separate subsystems. Therefore, throughout this guide, system features are described in terms of
Access Control Servers and Access Controllers. These features all apply to an Integrated Access
Manager as well.
