3Com® Wireless 8760 Dual-Radio 11a/b/g PoE Access Point DATA SHEET Secure, reliable 108 Mbps PoE wireless connectivity in a cost-effective access point with advanced enterprise-class features and dual radios OVERVIEW The 3Com® Wireless 8760 Dual-Radio 11a/b/g PoE Access Point is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) wireless solution for enterprises of all sizes. This fully-featured dual-radio access point functions simultaneously with an IEEE 802.11b/g and an IEEE 802.11a radio and provides ultrafast speeds of up to 108 Mbps. Advanced security features such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/ WPA2), Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Open System are included. This access point also provides multiple SSID support and VPN passthrough along with VLAN support. KEY BENEFITS ENABLING WIRELESS FREEDOM Take advantage of the freedom of high-speed networking without wires with the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 3Com Wireless 8760 Dual-Radio 11a/b/g PoE Access Point. Wireless LANs (WLANS) are an attractive solution for cost-effectively and securely extending mobile access to wired network resources or creating full-featured networks in small and medium businesses, remote sites, or temporary locations. Each access point (AP) supports up to 64 wireless users per radio for a total of 128 users, leaving plenty of room for growth. PROVIDES PoE DEPLOYMENT FLEXIBILITY PoE support makes it easier than ever to overcome installation problems by eliminating the need for an AC power plug at each AP. The 3Com Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus or the Switch 4400/4500/5500 PWR or other IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE products supply both power and data to the access points through Category 5 or 6 Ethernet cable, providing flexible installation options in hard-to-wire locations. For convenience a PoE adapter is supplied with the unit. 3Com Wireless 8760 Dual-Radio 11a/b/g PoE Access Point 3COM® WIRELESS 8760 DUAL-RADIO 11A/B/G POE ACCESS POINT KEY BENEFITS (CONTINUED) SECURES AND PROTECTS WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS This new access point delivers enterprise-class security to businesses of all sizes. To shield wireless communications at the source, WPA and WPA2 encryption provide the latest, toughest standards-based security; WEP encryption is also supported. For additional protection, the access point supports IEEE 802.1X and MAC address access control, authentication and authorization through backend RADIUS servers. PROVIDES FLEXIBLE SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL Configure and store up to four SSIDs with different security profiles for groups of users. IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLAN support works with the multiple SSID feature to control access to network resources and segment user traffic. SOLVES COMPLEX CONNECTIVITY PROBLEMS The Wireless Distribution System bridging feature solves complex wireless connectivity problems. The access point supports both pointto-point and point-to-multipoint WDS links as well as repeater mode for flexible network deployment. OFFERS INVESTMENT PROTECTION No reason to replace APs as the network grows. Unique 3Com standalone-to-managed conversion method allows the 3Com 8760 AP to be used in stand-alone mode, or easily converted to be managed by the 3Com Gigabit Unified Wireless PoE Switch and 3Com WX-series wireless controllers and switch. DELIVERS ENTERPRISE-CLASS FEATURES 3Com delivers superior business value by offering enterprise-class solutions without the complexity. 3Com also backs each product with global sales, service and support along with technology, financial and operational strength. FEATURES AND BENEFITS FLEXIBLE HIGH-SPEED CONNECTIVITY Dual-radio support Supports and offers 802.11a and 802.11b/g radios. High-speed access 802.11a and 802.11b/g standard supports speeds up to 108 Mbps. Wi-Fi a/b/g CERTIFIED Helps ensure interoperability with Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products from other vendors. ROBUST SECURITY FEATURES 2 Encryption: WPA/WPA2, AES, TKIP and WEP Toughest industry-standard algorithms help keep wireless transmissions private. Multiple security profiles Store up to eight different security settings; up to four security profiles per radio. Multiple SSID support with SSID isolation SSIDs can be bridged together or isolated. Access control Screens device MAC addresses to ensure 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. RADIUS server MAC-based and 802.1X AAA support Centralizes wireless security through existing network RADIUS servers. 3COM® WIRELESS 8760 DUAL-RADIO 11A/B/G POE ACCESS POINT FEATURES AND BENEFITS (CONTINUED) INSTALLATION AND MANAGEMENT CONVENIENCE WDS bridge and repeater configuration Multiple APs can function as bridges supporting point-to-point or multipoint modes; repeater mode extends wireless coverage. PoE support Expands installation options by eliminating the need for power adapters and AC outlets for APs. Access Point Discovery program Automatically discovers AP devices to simplify configuration and management (PCs with Windows based operating systems only). SNMP support Enables the AP to be centrally managed by popular standards-based network management applications such as SNMP v1, v2c and v3. Syslog support Enables the AP to be centrally monitored by sending data to the network Syslog server. Web browser-based administration Familiar browser interface lets you configure and manage APs from anywhere on the network. Investment protection Use the AP as a stand alone unit, convert to managed functionality for use with the 3Com Unified Wireless Switch, and then when needed, convert to support 3Com WX-series wireless controllers and switch.
