3COM UNIFIED WIREDWIRELESS SWITCHING


Integrated Management of the Wired and Wireless Network
The 3Com® Unified Gigabit Wireless PoE Switch 24 is the industry's first truly integrated and cost-effective Layer 2 Gigabit Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch that provides centralized management of both the wired and wireless network. This unified switch offers the small-to-medium-sized business market with 20 to 250 users a one-box solution for the integration of wired, wireless, PoE and convergence applications.

Unified Architecture
Integration of wired Layer 2 switching, wireless access points, and PoE support provide single go-to point for network deployment, management and troubleshooting, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO). With centrally maintained access point settings, there is no need to individually configure each devices SSIDs, VLANs, access control lists and security settings.

Full 15.4 watts of IEEE 802.3af compliant power on every port assures that every connection can support every type of Ethernet device, 3Com IntelliJack®, cameras, access points, VoIP phones and more.

Centralized Wireless and RF Management
The 3Com Unified Switch supports up to 24 access points (3Com Wireless 7760 11a/b/g PoE Access Point and 3Com Wireless 8760 Dual Radio 11a/b/g PoE Access Point) deployed using same or different policies (security, VLAN, QoS ) for employees and guest visitors. Automatic discovery and configuration of supported access points minimizes the installation time and configuration of the wireless network.

Fast roaming provides quick handoff of user information and authorizations, enabling seamless roaming with session integrity and mobility robust enough to support voice traffic. Load balancing allows the switch to adjust user-to-AP ratio to maximize WLAN user throughput and performance.

Secure Wired and Wireless Connections
IEEE 802.1X authentication in the 3Com Unified Switch centralizes authentication control and management of all network users, to help ensure that only authorized users access the network. Enterprise-class wireless encryption with WiFi CERTIFIED radios using WPA and WPA2, AES, TKIP and WEP encryption help protect and secure all wireless communications. Rogue access points can be a security threat to the network and the business. The Unified Switch can indentify these unauthorized APs and can take mitigation actions.

The extensive VLAN and ACL capabilities of the 3Com Unified Switch provide scalable security and network design, while maintaining strict security and access control throughout the network.

Gigabit Layer 2 Switching
The Unified Gigabit Wireless PoE Switch 24 delivers non-blocking 10/100/1000 wirespeed Gigabit throughput to handle the most bandwidth-hungry applications. IEEE 802.1p Class of Service (CoS) and automatic assignment of Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic to dedicated VLANs helps ensure that critical time-sensitive traffic gets the priority needed for quality communications.

Features and Benefits:

  • Offers cost-effective Layer 2 switching for both wired and wireless networking
  • 24 ports of 10/100/1000 wirespeed Gigabit throughput
  • Manage the wired and wireless network through a single interface
  • Comes standard with support for PoE and wireless access points on all ports; no extra fees to utilize the full functionality
  • Advanced standards-based protection with WEP, WPA and WPA2 AES encryption and IEEE 802.1X login
  • Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic can be automatically assigned to a voice-dedicated VLAN, optimizing this delay-sensitive traffic
  • Support for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) assures quality of service for wireless VoIP traffic
  • 3Com Wireless 7760 11a/b/g PoE and 3Com Wireless 8760 Dual Radio 11a/b/g PoE Access Point configurations and support are managed by the switch; users can move between access points with seamless mobility and no loss of connectivity
