KEY BENEFITS
(CONTINUED)
SECURE THE NETWORK WITH ADVANCED, STANDARDS-BASED
P
ROTECTION
The unified switch provides enhanced security features to ensure your
d
ata is protected, wired and wirelessly. Support for WEP, WPA and
WPA2 AES encryption helps guarantee the privacy of your wireless
network data. IEEE 802.1X authentication provides secure wired and
wireless network logins.
PRIORITIZE VOICE TRAFFIC AUTOMATICALLY
Voice traffic from 3Com and other IP telephony systems can be auto-
matically assigned to a voice-dedicated VLAN, helping to optimize this
delay-sensitive traffic. Support for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) assures
quality of service for wireless VoIP traffic.
EFFORTLESSLY ROAM BETWEEN ACCESS POINTS
The unified switch architecture brings AP configurations and support
directly into the switch, allowing users to move between access points,
centrally managed by the switch with seamless mobility and no loss of
connectivity. Wireless devices retain their VLAN membership and IP
address, providing uninterrupted communication.
FEATURES
UNIFIED ARCHITECTURE
Central management interface› Single IP and web GUI management and
configuration for all wired Ethernet devices and wireless access points
and users.
Managed access point control› Centrally maintained access point settings
eliminate the need to individually configure each device’s SSIDs, VLANs,
access control lists and security settings.
PoE on every port› Full 15.4 watts of 802.3af compliant power on every
port assures that every connection can provision every type of Ethernet
standard device—3Com IntelliJack
