Features & Benefits
Integrated Management of
the Wired and Wireless Network
The 3Com® Unified Gigabit Switch 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-ready applications.
Unified Architecture
Integration of wired Layer 2
switching, wireless controller for
access points, and full-power PoE
provide a single 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 device's
SSIDs, VLANs, access control lists
(ACLs) 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 Gigabit 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) which
may be 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 within your facility 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 Gigabit 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. The
Unified Gigabit Switch can identify
rogue access, unauthorized APs and
can take mitigation actions.
The extensive VLAN and ACL
capabilities of the 3Com Unified
Gigabit Switch provide scalable
security and network design, while
maintaining strict security and
access control throughout the
network.
Gigabit Layer 2 Switching
The Unified Gigabit Switch delivers
non-blocking 10/100/1000 wirespeed
Gigabit throughput to handle
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.
