OVERVIEW
3Com
®
wireless LAN Managed Access Points (MAPs) deliver secure, 
reliable connectivity for WLAN users. An integral component of the
3Com Wireless LAN Mobility System, the 3Com MAP 2750 and MAP 3750
encrypt transmissions to protect data privacy. Fully controlled by a WLAN
switch or controller, they contain no local data-store for sensitive data,
eliminating the chance of information being compromised due to hacking
or theft. The end result helps reduce capital expenses and ongoing
administrative costs—all while keeping the wireless LAN secure.
KEY BENEFITS
SIMPLIFY CONFIGURATION, CONTROL, AND OPTIMIZATION
With remote management, the arduous process of initially configuring
and deploying access points (APs) is vastly simplified because configuration
settings are centrally distributed for consistency and accuracy. And for
easier long-term management, any added MAPs inherit configuration
settings from their wireless switch or controller. Automated network
controls at the wireless switch improve MAP coverage and service by
optimizing RF gain, assigning radio channels, balancing traffic loads,
and monitoring the RF environment.
DELIVER SECURITY AND SEAMLESS MOBILITY
Local traffic encryption distributes encryption processing across 
the network rather than relying on one central device. Continuous,
on-demand, or scheduled RF scans can be used to locate users and
identify and isolate potentially harmful rogue APs or other infiltrators.
3Com wireless switches and controllers integrate with backend
Authorization/Authentication/Accounting (AAA) servers, consistently
enforcing user and group access policies across the wireless LAN to
provide secure session integrity as users roam throughout the network.
No re-association or IT intervention is required.
EASE NETWORK INTEGRATION THROUGH FLEXIBLE
DEPLOYMENTS
For operational flexibility, the MAP 2750 and MAP 3750 can be linked
directly or indirectly to a 3Com WLAN switch or controller through
existing wired networks, even across Layer 3 boundaries. For additional
installation flexibility, the 3Com WLAN switch can also supply the
MAPs with power, as well as data, directly over standard Ethernet
cabling. The MAP 3750 supports both 11g and 11a users simultaneously;
administrators can mix and match radio bands to meet different coverage
and bandwidth needs.
