Product overview

The HPE 527 802.11ac Unified Walljack is a dual radio 2.4GHz and 5GHz unified wired-wireless access point and GbE switch that works in sync with HPE Unified controllers, delivers high-performance networking solutions. The controllers provide advanced radio resource management (RRM).

This 527 802.11ac Unified Walljack provides one GbE uplink port, three GbE ports, one 802.11b/g/n radio, one 802.11ac radio, and a pass-through RJ-45 connection to support a range of service and user connectivity options. One of the front panel GbE 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 527 802.11ac Dual Radio Unified Walljack uses a single PoE cable drop, reducing cabling, switch ports, and power sourcing equipment. The HPE 527 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 527 is designed to provide wireless coverage for one or more rooms.

Features and benefits

Management

•Hewlett Packard Enterprise Wi-Fi Clear Connect

oprovides 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

oAutomatic radio power adjustments

include real-time power adjustments based on changing environmental conditions and signal coverage adjustment

Overview

o Automatic radio channel

provides intelligent channel switching and real-time Interference detection o Intelligent client load balancing

determines number of clients across neighboring APs and adjusts client allocation to balance the load

oAirtime fairness

provides equal RF transmission time for wireless clients

•Spectrum Analysis

oPower/frequency spectrum analysis

measures noise from IEEE 802.11 remote sources

oSignal detection/classification

identifies source of RF interference, for example, Bluetooth, cordless phones, and microwave ovens

oEvaluation of channel quality

helps detect severe channel degradation and improve the reporting of poor RF performance

•Integrated wireless IDS/IPS

detects and 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

Refer to the HPE Access Point—Controller Compatibility Matrix at http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA5-0345ENW&cc=us&lc=en

Quality of Service (QoS)

•Rate limiting

osupports per-wireless client ingress-enforced maximums and per-wireless client, per-queue guaranteed minimums

•Centralized traffic

omaintains Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS settings when using centralized traffic or guest access

•IEEE 802.1p prioritization

delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic

•Wireless

oL2/L3/L4 classification

IEEE 802.1p VLAN priority and DiffServ

oMultiple 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 to 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 1/2/3 when powered via IEEE 802.3at (PoE+)

•Auto-MDIX

automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all Ethernet interfaces

Mobility

QuickSpecs	HPE 527 802.11ac Dual Radio Unified Walljack Access Device Series

Overview

• Two spatial stream MIMO technology

o2x2:2 MIMO

provides 802.11b/g/n and 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology, which allows for 866 Mbps of signaling @ 5GHz and 300 Mbps for 802.11n

oEmbedded antenna

provides excellent coverage through use of two 2 dBi embedded antennae; no need for the added cost of external antennas

•Interoperability

omeets Wi-Fi Alliance Certifications, including IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ac to help ensure multivendor interoperability

•Multiple SSIDs

oUp to 16 SSIDs per radio, each with unique MAC address, configurable SSID broadcasts

o Individual security and QoS profiles

oConfigurable DTIM and minimum data rate

oEach mapped to separate IEEE 802.1Q VLANs

oWMM and/or WMM-PS

oSecurity filter

oIP filter

•AP client access control functions

ooffers IEEE 802.1X authentication using EAP-SIM, EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP

odelivers MAC address authentication using local or RADIUS access lists

oprovides RADIUS AAA using EAP-MD5, PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAPv2

osupports RADIUS Client (RFC 2865 and 2866) with location-aware support

oprovides Layer 2 wireless client isolation

Security

•Choice of IEEE 802.11i, WPA2, or WPA

locks out unauthorized wireless access by authenticating users prior to granting network access; robust Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption secures the data integrity of wireless traffic
