Ports
Three Gigabit Ethernet ports: Auto-sensing 1000Base-T Ethernet ports with
RJ-45 connectors.
One Gigabit Ethernet uplink port: Auto-sensing 1000Base-T Ethernet port with
RJ-45 connector.
One pair of pass-through ports: Work with Cat5 cabling as well as an analog
telephone cable.
Radio and antennas
The HP 527 supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. It has two internal antennas supporting
2x2 MIMO with two spatial streams at a rate of up to 850 Mbps.
Reset button
The reset button is accessible through a hole on the side panel of the HP 527. To
reset the HP 527, insert a paper clip into the reset button hole, and press and
quickly release the button. To reset the HP 527 to factory defaults, press and hold
the button more than 5 seconds until the status LEDs (Power, Radio, and Uplink)
flash, then release.

Powering the HP 527
The HP 527 can be powered by using a local power source, an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS), a user-supplied power generator, or a PoE-enabled switch that
provides 10/100 Mbps or 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports.
Before you connect power to the AP, verify that the power supply is steady.
The HP 527 supports an 802.3af PoE PSE connection to one device on LAN port 3.
This feature is dependent on the power source of the HP 527, as follows:
Supports 802.3af class 1/2/3 PoE Out when the 803.3at (PoE+) power supply
mode is used.
Do not support PoE Out when the standard 803.3af power supply mode is used.
Important information to read before installing
Professional installation is required. For indoor installation only. Before installing or
using the AP, consult with a professional installer trained in RF installation and
knowledgeable in local regulations including building and wiring codes, safety,
channel, power, and license requirements for the intended country. The end user is
responsible for ensuring that installation and use comply with local safety and radio
regulations.

To avoid possible bodily injury or equipment damage, read the following safety
Long mounting screw Short mounting screw
recommendations before you install an HP 527. The recommendations do not cover
every possible hazardous condition.
Install with six inches or more of clearance around the walljack.
Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.
Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.
Do not place the AP in a moist area and avoid liquid surrounding the AP.
Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walkways.
Installation
1. Place the mounting bracket, with the UP arrow pointing up, on the electrical
outlet box, and then use two of the supplied mounting screws to secure the
bracket to the box.
The two long mounting screws are for a US electrical box. The two short
mounting screws are for an EU electrical outlet box.

2. Connect the network cable from the box to the RJ-45 Uplink port on the back of
the HP 527. If required, also connect the cable providing support for
pass-through devices to the Pass Through port on the back of the HP 527.
