❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is the Colubris MSC-5100 compatible with all Wi-Fi access points?
The MSC-5100 is specifically designed to work with Colubris MultiService Access Points (MAP), including the MAP-320, MAP-330 models, and other models in the MAP series. It cannot directly manage access points from other manufacturers. For optimal operation in controlled mode, use compatible Colubris or HP ProCurve MSM access points.
Q2: What type of power supply is required for this controller?
The MSC-5100 can be powered in two ways: either by an external power adapter (not included in this sale), or by Power over Ethernet (PoE). If your network switch has PoE ports, you can power the controller directly via the network Ethernet cable. Otherwise, you will need to obtain a compatible power adapter separately.
Q3: How many users and access points can this controller manage simultaneously?
The Colubris MSC-5100 can manage up to 10 MultiService access points in controlled mode and support up to 100 simultaneous users in public or guest access. This capacity makes it an ideal solution for small and medium-sized businesses, shops, hotels, restaurants, or offices requiring professional and centralized Wi-Fi coverage.
Q4: Does the product come with a software license or subscription?
The controller is sold with its embedded operating system (COS - Colubris Operating System). No additional license is required for basic features. However, some advanced features or software updates may require a HP ProCurve CarePackage maintenance contract (not included). The product is ready to use in its standard configuration to manage your access points and users.
Q5: What is the difference between the MSC-5100 and higher models like the MSC-5200 or MSC-5500?
The main differences lie in the management capacity: the MSC-5100 supports up to 10 access points and 100 users, the MSC-5200 can manage up to 40 access points and 500 users, while the MSC-5500 can control up to 200 access points and 2000 users. All models offer the same security, QoS, and centralized management features. The MSC-5100 also has Gigabit Ethernet ports unlike the MSC-5200.
Q6: Do you offer technical support for configuring the wireless controller?
We do not offer technical support for the installation, configuration, or setup of hardware and software. This product is intended for IT professionals or experienced users in wireless network administration. For any technical assistance, we recommend consulting the HP ProCurve documentation or specialized WLAN network infrastructure forums.
Q7: Is the hardware covered by a warranty?
Yes, this tested used controller is covered by our 30-day seller warranty from the date of receipt. This warranty covers operational defects and hardware failures. If you encounter a problem with the product during this period, contact us for an exchange or refund according to eBay's terms.
