3	WHAT IS A UNIFIED WIRELESS SWITCH? Unified Switching is a new technology to many people As with most technologies, successive product evolutions always integrate complementary functionality into a single device Example: Today’s cell phones include the functionality of what were at one time, stand-alone devices A mobile GSM/CDMA phone Digital Camera MP3 Player Daytimer, Phonebook and Calendar Pager (text message) Email etc…. A Unified Switch is a result of the same technological evolution
4	WHAT IS A UNIFIED WIRELESS SWITCH? Combines all the elements of a L2 managed switch Adds the following functionality: Gigabit Ethernet connectivity Wireless controller/appliance Full-power 802.3af PoE on every port RF Rogue detection and Mitigation Wired and wireless user security Support for up to 24 Access Points
5	WHY WOULD YOU WANT A UNIFIED WIRELESS SWITCH? Your business has between 10 and 250 employees You’ve outgrown your 10/100 unmanaged switch or, You have no real “infrastructure” or, You have limited IT staff or knowledge to fully manage both a wired and wireless network or, You want to add wireless but are worried about security or, You want to add Voice over IP on your LAN but are worried about performance and reliability or, You know that you’ll be adding some, or all of these networking technologies and want to be ready when you do!
6	WHAT IS A WIRELESS CONTROLLER ? A Wireless Controller is ideal for sites with more than 3 APs A Wireless Controller takes the intelligence out of the AP and moves it to a centralized device A Wireless Controller Provides: Centralized access point management and configuration Automated radio frequency and power level control Centralized wireless security rules and policies SSIDs, Encryption keys (WPA2, WEP) Automatic load balancing of wireless users between APs Rogue AP detection and mitigation Simplified roaming and hand-off of wireless users between APs

8	3COM UNIFIED GIGABIT WIRELESS POE SWITCH 24 ENTERPRISE-CLASS FEATURES FOR THE SMB Features typically found on an enterprise-class switch but developed for the sophisticated small business 256 VLANs (802.1Q) to segment and secure mission-critical data and voice applications Auto Voice VLAN to prioritize VoIP Phones, 4 H/W queues per port ACL (MAC, IP), CoS/QoS (802.1p), DSCP, Rate Limiting, Storm Control, multicast, IGMP, STP, RSTP, MSTP to restrict access or protocol floods from affecting network performance 802.3ad Link Aggregation (LACP) to aggregate GbE links to create multi-gig uplink channels Port Mirroring, RMON, Syslog to track and record network traffic and conditions Dual firmware images provides fail-safe upgrade mechanism
9	3COM UNIFIED GIGABIT WIRELESS POE SWITCH 24 WIRELESS FEATURES SUMMARY Provides centralized control for up to 24 3Com 7760 or 8760 Access Points in Managed-mode. Key wireless features include: Centralized configuration for wireless security profiles Enterprise-grade WPA2/AES encryption, also WPA/WEP 802.1X authentication Fast roaming between APs preserves sessions Rogue AP detection and mitigation Multiple security profiles (4 SSIDs) per radio WiFi Multimedia (WMM) Traffic prioritization Load balancing of clients between APs Wireless System Capacity Up to 24 access points (direct or L2 connection) Up to 250 wireless users (max 30 users per radio)
10	3COM ACESSS POINT STRATEGY INDUSTRY-FIRST “DUAL-PURPOSE” ACCESS POINTS Industry’s only APs shipped standard as standalone (FAT) APs with GUI button to convert to (FIT) managed mode One AP covers both your needs (FAT and FIT) Start off FAT today, get FIT tomorrow The perfect investment protection and migration story for SMB customers... SMB Unified Switch uses the new SMB FAT/FIT APs 7760 - single radio 11a/b/g PoE AP 8760 - dual radio 11a/b/g PoE AP Dual-purpose APs don’t lock you into a solution APs can be re-deployed as business requirements change
11	ACCESS POINT - FIT TO FAT CONVERSION METHOD Industry’s only purpose-built dual-mode access points
12	SOLUTIONS SOLVED #1 BUILDING A NETWORK WITH THE UNIFIED SWITCH Step 1 – Use the Unified Switch as the starting point for a high-performance wired L2 Gigabit SMB network
13	SOLUTIONS SOLVED #2 BUILDING A NETWORK WITH THE UNIFIED SWITCH Step 2 – PoE makes it easy to add 7760 and 8760 PoE access points to create a unified wired and wireless network with centralized AP management
14	SOLUTIONS SOLVED #3 BUILDING A NETWORK WITH THE UNIFIED SWITCH Step 3 – Add IP Telephony to complete the SMB converged network
15	DELIVERS END-TO-END CONNECTIVITY TO SMALL TO MID-SIZE BUSINESSES
16	SUMMARY The 3Com Unified Wireless Switch delivers value by reducing total cost of ownership and improving IT staff and employee productivity via: Single IP Address management. Less time Telneting into dozens of IP addresses Single OS to manage for switching & wireless Single place to look for network problem isolation Quickly deploy up to 24 APs with same or different configs Improving WLAN performance with RF load balancing, auto-tuning, rogue detection and mitigation PoE eliminates the need to run costly 110VAC to remote ceiling panels and wall boards Dual-purpose APs can be re-deployed as business requirements change Support for full PoE and GbE now allows newer technologies later
