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 provisioned 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, insert a
paper clip into the reset button hole, and press and hold the reset button until the status LEDs flash
three times, then release.
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.
