today. To protect sensitive data broadcast over the wireless LAN, 3Com supports 
Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) RC4 40/ 64-bit, 128-bit and 152-bit shared-key 
encryption. 3Com strengthens this basic security mechanism with additional security 
features, including MAC address access control lists, IEEE 802.1x per-port user 
authentication with RADIUS server authentication support, Temporal Key Integrity 
Protocol (TKIP), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Wireless Protected Access 
(WPA) and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) support: EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, 
EAP-TTLS, and PEAP. 
In addition to standards-based security, 3Com 128-bit Dynamic Security Link offers a 
high level of security, requiring a user name and password to access the wireless LAN.
