3 3COM AP9552 11N 2.4+5GHZ PoE ACCESS POINT FEATURES AND BENEFITS FLEXIBLE HIGH-SPEED CONNECTIVITY Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Advanced MIMO technology provides enhanced wireless range (MIMO) and coverage area for improved roaming and ubiquity Internal antennas Three built-in antennas per radio allow a compact and aesthetic design that is ideal for wall-mounting in professional office spaces Support for external antennas Three R-SMA connectors allow you to add optional external antennas for increased range in bridging applications WiFi Multimedia (WMM®) support Improves the user experience for audio, video and voice applications Wi-Fi CERTIFIED a/b/g/n certification helps ensure interoperability with Wi-Fi certified products from other vendors High-speed 802.11 standards support Support for 802.11n Draft 2.0 provides the highest possible wireless speeds Provides complete access to 2.4 and 5 GHz IEEE 802.11a/b/g and 802.11n Draft 2.0 wireless networks Backward compatible with 11a/b/g users Supports high speeds while protecting existing investments ROBUST SECURITY FEATURES IEEE 802.1X network access control IEEE 802.1X network access control and EAP authentication provide the latest, most effective authentication techniques to help thwart intruders and simplify network management WPA2/WPA™ (Wi-Fi Protected Access) Supports advanced 128-bit WPA/WPA2 encryption, and 40-/64- and 128-bit WEP and WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption for legacy wireless clients Multiple SSID support with SSID isolation Create SSIDs with specific settings for each group of wireless users to segment traffic; SSIDs can be bridged together or isolated MAC address access control Filters MAC addresses on devices so that only trusted clients gain access to the WLAN 802.1Q VLAN support Groups users according to data or traffic requirements to segment traffic flow based on business priorities. INSTALLATION AND MANAGEMENT EASE Web browser-based administration Familiar browser interface lets you configure and manage APs from anywhere on the network; preset defaults simplify setup and operation Access point discovery utility Automatically discovers AP devices to simplify configuration and management (PCs with Windows based operating systems only). PoE support Expands installation options by eliminating the need for power adapters and AC outlets for APs WDS bridging Access points can function as bridges to join LAN segments and support point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configuration modes SNMP support Enables the AP to be centrally managed by popular standards-based network management applications using SNMP v1 and v2c Syslog support Enables the access point to be centrally monitored by sending data to the network Syslog server Multiple mounting options The access point can be mounted in any of three convenient manners: wall-mount, desktop mount or ceiling mount
