See "PoE Support". Each Access Point can support up to 64 simultaneous users (wireless stations), allowing plenty of room for growth Supports Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for compatible wireless devices, allowing the Access Point to act either as a wireless bridge or client/repeater. Both point-to-point (PTP) and point-to-multipoint (PTMP) bridge modes are supported. See "WDS Support".

The same Category 5 cable that connects the Access Point to the wired network also provides its power, so AC power outlet locations and extra cabling are no longer issues. You can source power from an 802.3af-compliant power sourcing equipment (PSE) or use the supplied power adapter to power the Access Point. You can use the following 3Com PoE products to supply power to OfficeConnect Wireless 108 Mbps 11g PoE Access Point: ■ Baseline Switch 2226-PWR Plus 3C16490 ■ SuperStack3 Switch 4400 PWR 3C17205 ■ PoE Single-Port Midspan Solution 3CNJPSE ■ PoE 24 Port Midspan Solution 3CNJPSE24
