Features & Benefits
Secure High-Speed Wired-Wireless Connectivity
Extend the functionality of your network with this
universal Wi-Fi bridge. The 3Com® 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Workgroup Bridge enables
legacy wired Ethernet network devices— PCs, laptops, cameras— to be quickly,
easily and securely connected to the wireless LAN.
Avoid expensive upgrades or retrofitting of legacy products
such as cash registers, deli and vegetable scales, time clocks, bar code
readers, etc. by connecting to the wireless network via the serial port of the
bridge.
When paired with a 16-port switch (like the low-cost 3Com®
OfficeConnect® Dual Speed Switch, up to 16 network devices— PCs, printers,
point-of-sale devices, and Internet appliances— can be connected to a wireless
LAN. Eliminating the need for Wi-Fi PC cards and adapters for each device
creates a mixed wired and wireless network at a much lower cost while
maintaining flexibility as network needs change.
The wireless LAN workgroup bridge supports all three IEEE
802.11 a, b, and g networking standards. This all-in-one support preserves
existing equipment investments while supporting the latest higher-speed
technologies. Mix and match radio bands to meet different coverage and bandwidth
user needs within the same area.
A one-time configuration at initial setup translates to a
true plug-and-play experience. Once setup is complete, the bridge can be
remotely managed using a standard Web browser or SNMP management tools. Auto
network connect keeps wireless users connected to the network, even when roaming
across IP subnets, with a choice of ad hoc or infrastructure connectivity mode.
- Economically expands a mixed wired and wireless network by eliminating the need
for wireless PC Cards and adapters
- Connect legacy products such as cash registers, deli and vegetable scales, time
clocks, bar code readers, etc. to the wireless network via the serial port of
the bridge
- Enhances the revenue potential of hotel and leisure business hotspot services by
extending WLAN access to laptop and pocket PC users who don't have built-in
wireless capability
- Bridge can connect up to 16 network devices to a wireless LAN, when paired with
a 16-port switch
- Simultaneous IEEE 802.11 a/b/g wireless standard support delivers comprehensive
coverage and investment protection; Wi-Fi certification ensures broad
compatibility
- Advanced WPA/WPA2 and AES encryption provides the latest in security
- WEP support provides compatibility with legacy wireless networks
- IEEE 802.1X server authentication with PEAP and EAP-TTLS protocol support help
ensure that only authorized uses access the network and centralize
authentication control and management
- Simple one-time setup, with no configuration required in most cases, makes for
true plug-and-play operation
- Web browser and SNMP support enable administrators to remotely manage the bridge
from anywhere and seamlessly integrate the wireless LAN with enterprise
management tools
- Optional 2.4/5 GHz dual-band omnidirectional antenna extends the bridge's
wireless transmission range and adds installation flexibility
