Downloading New Access Point
Software
When product enhancements occur for the Access Point 420, new software
can be downloaded to the access point by several methods. For more infor-
mation, see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the
Documentation CD-ROM that came with your access point.
The new access point software is made available on the ProCurve Networking
Web site, http://www.procurve.com under “product support – software
upgrades.”
HP Customer Support Services
If you are still having trouble with your access point, Hewlett-Packard offers
support 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the use of a number of
automated electronic services. See the Customer Support/Warranty booklet
that came with your access point for information on how to use these services
to get technical support. The ProCurve Networking Web site, http://
www.procurve.com also provides up-to-date support information under
“product support.”
Additionally, your HP-authorized network reseller can provide you with assis-
tance, both with services that they offer and with services offered by HP.
