3Com® Unified Gigabit Switch
DATA SHEET
OVERVIEW
Unified architecture
delivers a single point
of management for
secure control of a
voice-ready wired and
wireless network, with
24 ports of Layer 2
Gigabit PoE switching
and control of up to
24 wireless access
points
®
The 3Com Unified Gigabit Switch is the industry’s first truly integrated
and cost-effective Layer 2 Gigabit Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch that
provides centralized management of both a wired and wireless network.
This unified switch offers small-to-medium-sized businesses with 20 to
250 users a one-box solution that securely and efficiently supports
mobile workers and fixed LAN connections.
KEY BENEFITS
CENTRALIZES MANAGEMENT OF WIRED AND WIRELESS IN
ONE PLATFORM
The entire wired and wireless network can be managed through a single
web management interface, with support for automatic discovery and
configuration of access points (APs).
OFFERS COST-EFFECTIVE LAYER 2 SWITCHING FOR BOTH
WIRED AND WIRELESS NETWORKING
No need to add specialized wireless switches or controllers—at extra
cost—to the network, as the Unified Gigabit Switch controls both types
of networks, autosensing the PoE power requirements of the device
connected to the port.
This switch ships standard with full support for wireless access points
and PoE on all 24 ports. There are no licensing fees or port fees ever
required to utilize the full functionality.
DELIVERS GIGABIT SPEEDS
For top performance, this unified switch delivers 24 ports of wirespeed
Gigabit throughput.
PROVIDES POWER OVER ETHERNET
The Unified Gigabit Switch provides inline power to attached devices—
access points, Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, IP security cameras and
more—via industry-standard IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet over a
single Ethernet cable, resulting in significant cabling deployment cost
savings. All 24 ports are supplied with full PoE.
PRIORITIZES VOICE TRAFFIC AUTOMATICALLY
Voice traffic from 3Com and other IP telephony systems can be auto-
matically assigned to a voice-dedicated VLAN, helping to optimize this
®
®
delay-sensitive traffic. Support for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM ) assures
quality of service for wireless VoIP traffic.
