MSM317 Access Device Installation Guide
This guide describes how to physically install the MSM317 in an electrical outlet box
and make all necessary power and network connections. This guide assumes that
before installing the MSM317, all configuration issues have been addressed as
described in the MSM317 Access Device Installation and Getting Started Guide
available at: www.procurve.com/manuals.
The MSM317 Access Device is a
wireless/wired end-point solution with
an integrated four-port (plus uplink)
managed Ethernet switch that can be
installed in a standard NEMA-WD6
(US) or BS 4662 (International)
electrical outlet box.
It provides a complete connectivity
solution for hospitality or multiple
dwelling unit applications, supporting
a variety of IP-based in-room
applications over a single wire. (J9422A) (J9423A)

• This product does not have a power switch. It is powered-on when the Uplink port is plugged
into a PoE power source.
• This product and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors within the same
building, including all associated network connections as described by Environment A of the
IEEE 802.3af standard.
• It is normal for the rear metal cover of the MSM317 to get hot during operation. The cover is a
heat sink and is used to dissipate the heat generated by the MSM317.

Installation procedure
A. Attach the faceplate
Place the appropriate faceplate (NEMA-WD6 for US or BS 4662 for international) over the
front of the MSM317 body and press firmly to snap it into place.
B. Prepare the electrical outlet box
The MSM317 requires a single-gang electrical outlet box mounted in a wall cavity. The US version
requires a box conforming to NEMA-WD6, with a minimum depth of 1.4 inches. The International
version requires a box conforming to BS 4662, with a minimum depth of 35mm.
1. Install an appropriate electrical outlet box. Or if using an existing electrical outlet box,
disconnect and remove any existing equipment.
2. Run the required cables through the bottom of the electrical outlet box allowing sufficient
slack for the cables to reach the not-yet installed MSM317.
C. Connect the cables
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the
Uplink port either via the RJ-45
connector or the Punch-down
block. Do not connect to both.
(See Punch-down block wiring on
page 4 for wiring details.)
2. If required, connect the cable
providing support for pass-through
devices to the Pass Through port.
D. Mount the MSM317
1. Attach the MSM317 to the
electrical outlet box using the
supplied mounting screws.
2. Place the appropriate trim panel
(US or International) over the front
of the MSM317 body and press
firmly to snap it into place.
E. Configure the MSM317
For details, see the MSM317 Access
Device Installation and Getting
Started Guide.

Faceplate and trim panel removal
To remove the faceplate, slightly push in two tabs on one side of the MSM317 body with a small
screwdriver. To remove the trim panel, pry off the trim panel with a small flat screwdriver.
Press here

the faceplate. Use a screwdriver to
pry off trim panel here.
(BS 4662 version shown.)
Punch-down block wiring
When terminating a cable run with the Punch-down block, always use solid conductor cables.
Stranded cables may not make good connections. To ensure good connections, install cables
into the individual Punch-down connectors using a 110-style tool.
CAUTION: Do not connect both the Punch-down block and the Uplink port to a network. Only
one connection can be used at a time.
