Setting up your network

The HPE OfficeConnect Solution requires you to connect your HPE OfficeConnect OC20 to the network. HPE OfficeConnect OC20 is a dual-radio, IEEE 802.11ac-capable wireless access point. This access point supports 802.11ac and legacy 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n wireless devices.

To provision your network, follow these steps:

1. Connect HPE OfficeConnect OC20 to your network.
2. Verify the LED indicators. If the AP is successfully connected to your provisioning network, the LED indicator turns green.
