Preface
Package Contents
The 4ipnet EAP717 Enterprise Access Point is an
on-the-wall as well as a ceiling-mounted Wi-Fi IEEE
802.11n/a/b/g 2 x 2 MIMO access point, designed to
blend into a working or a living environment
practically and elegantly with its simplistic yet classy
design. The EAP717 is ideal for appearance
accentuated applications such as hotels as it has a
small and inconspicuous form factor. The RH11
telephone pass through socket is yet another
convenient feature for hotel applications. The two
Ethernet LAN Ports eliminates the need for a
network switch for additional IP Device connections.
When coupled with the 4ipnet WHG series
Controller, the EAP717 supports Tunnel-based AP
Management, and comes with all standards
demanded by enterprise applications, including
business-grade security (802.1X, WPA and WPA2),
and multiple ESSIDs with VLAN tags to separate
the traffics of different departments. A centralized
WLAN management allows enterprises and
organizations to support a wide array of value
added applications, such as load balancing,
bandwidth control, and access control. The
patent-pending 4ipWES (Press-n-Connect)
technology bridges multiple EAP717s at the touch
of a button, which enables a quick and automatic
WDS Easy Setup by pressing the WES button on
EAP717. Extending wireless network coverage is a
breeze, be it across conference rooms or along
hallways.
EAP717’s high throughput, security and optimal
invisibility make it a perfect choice of wireless
connectivity for your business.

Kit, please refer to the included Connection Guide.
Step 2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Uplink port and the other end of the cable to a switch,
a router, or a hub. The EAP717 is now connected to your existing wired LAN network.
Step 3. There are two ways to supply power to EAP717
a) Connect the DC power adaptor to the power jack socket.
b) The Uplink port is capable of receiving PoE. Connect an IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant PSE device
(e.g. a PoE-switch) to the Uplink port of EAP717 with the Ethernet cable.
Now, the Hardware Installation is complete.
Please use only the power adapter supplied with the package. Using a different power adapter
