The AP2750 utilizes standards-based integration with the Wireless LAN switch and/or controller for plug-and-play installation. Configuration details for all MAPs are centrally distributed for consistency and accuracy resulting in simplified initial deployments and easier management. Automated network controls at the wireless switch improve MAP coverage and service by optimizing RF gain, assigning radio channels, load balancing and even sweeping the RF environment as required, either continuously or on-demand.

MAP encryption provides for local traffic encryption, and distributes encryption processing across the network, rather than relying on one central device. RF scans can be used not only to locate users, but also to identify and isolate potentially harmful rogue APs or other infiltrators.

Allowing network wiring flexibility, the AP2750 can be linked directly or indirectly to a 3Com Wireless LAN Switch or Controller through existing wired networks, even across Layer 3 boundaries. Additionally, the AP2750 can receive its power via standard PoE (Power over Ethernet) either directly from a Wireless LAN Switch or from any 802.11af compliant PoE device.
