Product overview
HPE 417 802.11n Unified Walljack is a single 2.4 GHz radio unified wired-wireless access point and
100BASE-T Ethernet switch that works in sync with HPE Unified controllers, delivers high-performance
networking solutions. The controllers provide advanced radio resource management (RRM).
HPE 417 802.11n Unified Walljack provides one GbE uplink port, three 100BASE-T Ethernet ports,
one 802.11b/g/n wireless access point, and a pass-through RJ-45 connection to support a range
of service and user connectivity options. One of the front panel Ethernet ports can be configured
as an IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE forwarding port to enable devices such as IP telephones to be
powered directly from the walljack.
The HPE 417 802.11n Unified Walljack uses a single PoE cable drop, reducing cabling, switch ports,
and power sourcing equipment. The HPE 417 802.11n Unified Walljack provides unified wired-wireless
connectivity into a low-profile design that can be quickly, easily, and discretely installed in a
standard wall outlet box. The HPE 417 802.11n Unified Walljack is designed to provide wireless
coverage for one room.

Features and benefits
Management
• Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Wi-Fi Clear Connect
– Provides a system-wide approach to improving WLAN reliability by proactively determining
and adjusting to changing RF conditions; helps optimize WLAN performance by detecting
interference from Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi sources using spectrum analysis capabilities built into
the walljack, identifying rogue activity, and making decisions at a system-wide level
• Advanced radio resource management
– Automatic radio power adjustments
Include real-time power adjustments based on changing environmental conditions and signal
coverage adjustment
– Automatic radio channel
Provides intelligent channel switching and real-time Interference detection
– Intelligent client load balancing
Determines number of clients across neighboring APs and adjusts client allocation to balance
the load
– Airtime fairness
Provides equal RF transmission time for wireless clients
• Spectrum analysis
– Power/Frequency spectrum analysis
Measures noise from IEEE 802.11 remote sources
– Signal detection/classification
Identifies source of RF interference, for example, Bluetooth®, cordless phones, and
microwave ovens
– Evaluation of channel quality
Helps detect severe channel degradation and improve the reporting of poor RF performance
• Integrated wireless IDS/IPS
Detects, locates, and mitigates unknown and rogue devices (see controller datasheet for details)
• HPE Intelligent Management Center and Wireless Services Manager
– Provides central management for discovery, logging, status, and configuration management
• Enhanced AP survivability
– Continues to operate using the existing configuration while the AP searches for a new controller
• Compatible with HPE Unified Controllers

Quality of service (QoS)
• Rate limiting
– Supports per-wireless client ingress-enforced maximums and per-wireless client, per-queue
guaranteed minimums
• Centralized traic
– Maintains Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS settings when using centralized traic or guest access
• IEEE 802.1p prioritization
Delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traic
• Wireless
– L2/L3/L4 classification
IEEE 802.1p VLAN priority and DiServ
– Virtual Service (Multiple SSIDs per radio)
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), IEEE 802.11e EDCF, and service-aware priority
Connectivity
• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet support
Simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces installation costs by helping eliminate the time
and cost involved in supplying local power at each access point location. Unit can be powered
by IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) source
• Power forwarding
PoE class 1/2 when powered by IEEE 802.3af or class 1/2/3 when powered via IEEE 802.3at (PoE+)
• Auto-MDIX
Automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all Ethernet interfaces
Mobility
• Two spatial stream MIMO technology
– 2x2 MIMO
Provides 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi technology, which allows for 300 Mbps of signaling
– Embedded antenna
Provides excellent coverage through use of a 3.3 dBi embedded; no need for the added cost
of external antennas
• Interoperability
– Meets Wi-Fi Alliance certifications, including IEEE 802.11b/g/n to help ensure multivendor
interoperability
• Multiple SSIDs
– Up to 16 SSIDs, each with unique MAC address, configurable SSID broadcasts
– Individual security and QoS profiles
– Configurable DTIM and minimum data rate
– Each mapped to separate IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
– WMM and/or WMM-PS
– Security filter
– IP filter
