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.
– Provides a system-wide approach to improving WLAN reliability by proactively determining

– 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

• AP client access control functions
– Oers IEEE 802.1X authentication using EAP-SIM, EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP
– Delivers MAC address authentication using local or RADIUS access lists
– Provides RADIUS AAA using EAP-MD5, PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAPv2
– Supports RADIUS Client (RFC 2865 and 2866) with location-aware support
– Provides Layer 2 wireless client isolation
Security
• IEEE 802.1X suppor t
Provides port-based user authentication with support for Extensible Authentication Protocol
(EAP) MD5, TLS, TTLS, and PEAP with choice of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES),
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), and static or dynamic WEP encryption for protecting
wireless traic between authenticated clients and the access point
• Choice of IEEE 802.11i, WPA2, or WPA
Locks out unauthorized wireless access by authenticating users prior to granting network access;
robust AES or TKIP encryption secures the data integrity of wireless traic
• Local wireless bridge client traic filtering
Prevents communication between wireless devices associated with the same access point
