11a/b/g Wireless LAN Workgroup Bridge
Key Benefits
Features
Flexible High-Speed Connectivity 
Extend the functionality of your network
with this universal Wi-Fi bridge. The bridge
enables a laptop or PC user without built-in
wireless capability to connect to a wireless
LAN. When paired with a low-cost 3Com
®
OfficeConnect
®
Dual Speed Hub 16, 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 main-
taining flexibility as network needs change. 
Complete, Simultaneous Standards
Support
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 invest-
ments while supporting the latest
higher-speed technologies. Mix and match
radio bands to meet different coverage and
bandwidth user needs within the same area. 
Multiple Security Features
To shield wireless connections, the a/b/g
wireless bridge supports WPA and 128-bit
AES for higher level security and  64, 128
and 152 bit WEP for legacy wireless
networks. To protect against unauthorized
network access, the wireless bridge supports
802.1X server authentication with PEAP and
EAP-TTLS authentication protocols. 
Simple Installation and Use
A one-time configuration at initial setup
translates to a true plug-and-play experi-
ence. 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.
