HP 517 802.11ac Unified Walljack Quickstart 5 Connect cables to the HP 517
Connect cables to the HP 517
After the installation is complete, connect equipment to the HP 517 as follows:
1. Connect equipment that requires PoE to Port 4.
2. Connect other equipment to Ports 1, 2, or 3.
3. Connect equipment that will use the pass-through feature (such as a
digital telephone) to the Pass Through port on the side of the HP 517.
Initial configuration
When the Uplink port is connected and the HP 517 is powered on, the device is
designed to automatically discover and associate with an HP MSM wireless
controller in the connected network.
In its factory default state, the HP 517 can be managed through its web-based
management tool using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or later, or Mozilla Firefox
17 or later.
Note: Direct configuration of the HP 517 is only possible when the HP 517 is in
its factory-default state, meaning that it has not been provisioned or has
not discovered an HP MSM wireless controller since last being reset to
factory defaults. To force the HP 517 into its factory-default state, see
“Reset button” on page 2.
The following procedure describes how to perform initial configuration for a
factory-default HP 517. For instructions on how to perform other configuration
procedures, see the HP 517 802.11ac Unified Walljack Configuration Guide.
Note: Do not power on the HP 517 until directed.
A. Configure your computer
1. Disconnect your computer LAN port and configure it to use a static IP
address in the range 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254, and a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0. Set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1, and DNS
server to 192.168.1.1.
2. Disable any wireless connection on your computer.
B. Connect the cables and power on the HP 517
1. 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.
• If using a PoE injector, use Ethernet cables to connect a network
switch to the data-in port of the PoE injector and the HP 517 Uplink
port to the data and power-out port of the PoE injector.
• If using an AC/DC adapter, connect it to the power connector on the
HP 517.
2. Power on the HP 517 by powering on the PoE switch, power injector, or
by plugging in the AC/DC adapter.
Initially, the HP 517 power LED is amber. Wait approximately one minute
until it turns green before proceeding to the next step.
3. Connect the LAN port on your computer to the uplink port, directly or
through a switch.
C. To perform additional configuration
