1 Getting started The HP 517 Unified Walljack is a single-radio dual-band 3x3:3 802.11ac walljack that can support up to 50 wireless clients. In its factory default state, the HP 517 can be provisioned through its web-based management tool using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or later, or Mozilla Firefox 17 or later. NOTE: When operating, the HP 517 is warm to the touch. When operating at room temperature, the face of the unit can be as high as 40°C (104°F). This is expected.
PoE PSE port power 802.3af powered No power out PSE port 4 802.3at powered Class 2 power via PSE port 41 Local DC powered Class 2 or 3 power via PSE port 4 1 Because up to 11 watts can be supplied, the software supports a class 3 override option. Radio and antennas The HP 517 provides a single IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac radio for 802.11ac very-high throughput (VHT) applications and IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n for legacy support applications.
2 Installing the HP 517 The HP 517 is designed to be mounted on a standard NEMA-WD6 (US) or BS 4662 (International) electrical outlet box. If you use the optional HP Unified Wired-WLAN Walljack Table/Flush Wall Mount Kit (JL022A), the HP 517 can be mounted on a desktop or wall. The end user is responsible for ensuring that installation and use comply with local safety and radio regulations. IMPORTANT: This device requires professional installation.
Remove product from packaging Inspect the package contents and verify that they are free from defects. The package contains: • HP 517 Unified Walljack • Mounting bracket • Ethernet jumper cable • Screws • Documentation Installing on an electrical box Before you begin, run the required network cables through the bottom of the electrical outlet box on which you are installing the HP 517. Be sure to provide enough cable length to reach the HP 517.
Installing on a wall When installing the HP 517 on a wall, ensure that the surface to which you attach the HP 517 and the fasteners you use can support at least 0.9 kg (2 lbs). Allow extra weight for cables. 1. Hold the optional Unified Wired WLAN Walljack Table/Flush Wall Mount panel in a vertical orientation against the wall where it will be installed. Mark two holes for the screws or user-supplied wall anchors. 2. If using wall anchors, drill two holes, typically 4.
7. Connect the network cable from the panel to the RJ-45 Uplink port on the back of the HP 517. If required, also connect the cable providing support for pass-through devices to the Pass Through port on the back of the HP 517. 8. Push the HP 517 onto the mounting bracket on the box, then slide it down until it is fully engaged. Do not let go of the HP 517 until you confirm that it is securely in place. 9.

2. Connect the cables and power on the HP 517. IMPORTANT: When using the PoE PSE Ethernet LAN port 4 to power a 802.3af powered device (PD), the cable length from LAN port 4 to the PD must be no more than 3 m. a. Connect the cables: • If using a PoE switch, use an Ethernet cable to connect an unused factory-default PoE switch port to the HP 517 Uplink port.
