About the Airespace System gives a comprehensive overview of the Airespace System and the place of
the Airespace Wireless Switches and WLAN Appliances in that system. The following figure shows the
4024 Airespace Wireless Switch. The 4012 Airespace Wireless Switch is similar to the 4024, but has 12
front-panel RJ-45 jacks instead of 24.
Figure - 4024 Airespace Wireless Switch
The 4012 and 4024 Airespace Wireless Switches are one-unit high 802.11 Wireless Switches that
communicate directly (Direct Connect Mode), indirectly (Appliance Mode), or both (Hybrid Mode) with
up to 24 (Model 4024) or 12 (Model 4012) associated Airespace Access Points and/or Third-Party
Access Points. The 4012 and 4024 Airespace Wireless Switches can be factory- or field-equipped with
an Enhanced Security Module (Crypto Card) to support VPN, IPSec and other processor-intensive tasks,
and with one 1000Base-T (copper) or 1000Base-SX (fiber-optic) Network Adaptor Module to allow the
Airespace Wireless Switch to communicate with the switched network at GigE (Gigabit Ethernet)
speeds.
