Package contents
The HP 517 Unified Walljack, mounting bracket, screws, Ethernet jumper
cable*, and documentation.
*To be used when attaching the HP 517 uplink to a wall plate with a
preterminated jack.
Ports
• Four Gigabit Ethernet ports: Auto-sensing 1000 BaseT Ethernet ports with
RJ-45 connectors. One port provides IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet
(PoE) to supply power to one device.
• One Gigabit Ethernet uplink port: Auto-sensing 1000 BaseT Ethernet port
with RJ-45 connector.
• Two (in and out) pass-through ports: Cat5e-compatible ports with RJ-45
connectors.
• Console port: Reserved for HP-directed debugging.
Radio and antennas
The HP 517 provides a single IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac radio for 802.11ac high-
throughput applications and IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n for legacy support
applications. There are three dual-band antennas suporting 3x3 MIMO spatial
streams for up to 1.3 Gbps PHY rates.
The HP 517 supports 802.11b/g/n operation modes at 2.4 GHz or 802.11a/n/ac
operation modes at 5 GHz. The HP 517 does not support concurrent operation
at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
