DATA SHEET 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point 8000 (R) Key Benefits Scalable Security Flexibility The 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point 8000 provides one of the most robust, multilayer scalable security solutions available. It supports 40-bit WEP encryption, 128-bit shared encryption, IEEE 802.1x and RADIUS authentication. Additionally, it supports Extensible Authentication Protocols (EAP) that easily integrate with the network infrastructure. Where there is no centralized RADIUS authentication server, the 3Com Access Point 8000 offers Dynamic Security Link* technology that enables wireless users to log on to the network securely. And the access point's builtin database supports up to 1,000 usernames and passwords. With a transmission distance up to 300 meters (1,000 ft), long-range antenna options offer flexibility in determining the area of coverage. Radio transmit power can be configured to meet specific coverage requirements and minimize interference, making it easier than ever to extend the freedom and reliability of wireless to all those difficult-to-wire or hard-to-reach locations. (R) Manageability Support for SNMP, HP OpenView, and 3Com Network Supervisor ensures seamless network integration and complete network management of the Access Point 8000 from a central location. Additional functions and features can be easily obtained from the 3Com website via Live Update. A Wireless Access Point with Wired Networking Features Wireless networks offer new, liberating functionality. But they also need to provide the easy scalability, advanced security capabilities, and centralized Simple Installation The Site Survey Utility determines the best locations and number of access points for optimal bandwidth and coverage. The access point's configuratiuon can be saved using the backup and restore facility, then extended to all other access points on the network. Clear Channel Select automatically chooses the best-available radio channel during every power cycle and Power over Ethernet (included) can power access points over your Category 5 Ethernet cabling. management of wired networks. That's what makes the 3Com Access Point 8000 an outstanding choice: it delivers full networking functionality. *Dynamic Security Link works only when used in conjunction with 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN PC Card with XJACK(R) antenna. 3 C O M (R) 1 1 M B P S W I R E L E S S L A N A C C E S S P O I N T 8 0 0 0 D ATA S H E E T Specifications Security Network Management Physical Dimensions Supports EAP-enabled Remote Access Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) Servers.
