3COM® WIRELESS 7760 11A/B/G POE ACCESS POINT

FEATURES AND BENEFITS (CONTINUED)

INSTALLATION AND MANAGEMENT CONVENIENCE

WDS bridge and repeater

Multiple APs can function as bridges supporting point-to-point or multi-

configuration

point modes; repeater mode extends wireless coverage.

 

 

PoE support

Expands installation options by eliminating the need for power adapters

 

and AC outlets for APs.

 

 

Access Point Discovery program

Automatically discovers AP devices to simplify configuration and management

 

(PCs with Windows-based operating systems only).

 

 

SNMP support

Enables the AP to be centrally managed by popular standards-based

 

network management applications.

 

 

Auto configuration

Copies settings from compatible APs on the WLAN, simplifying and

 

speeding setup.

 

 

SNMP support

Enables the AP to be centrally managed by popular standards-based

 

network management applications such as SNMP v1 and v2c.

 

 

Syslog support

Enables the AP to be centrally monitored by sending data to the network

 

Syslog server.

 

 

Web browser-based administration

Familiar browser interface lets you configure and manage APs from

 

anywhere on the network.

 

 

Auto firmware update

Automatically checks an FTP server for available firmware updates.

 

 

PoE Support

Choose from several power options to match your installation needs. First, the PoE access point can be powered with the supplied PoE adapter.

You can also power the access point using an 802.3af-compliant PoE switch. The switch provides both data and power through the Ethernet cable.

7760 specifications

The 3Com 7760, a robust and reliable networking solution, has made a significant impact in the realm of telecommunications and data communication. This device, primarily designed for service providers and large enterprises, stands out due to its rich set of features and advanced technologies that cater to the growing demands of modern networks.

One of the main features of the 3Com 7760 is its ability to support high-capacity networking with a combination of switching, routing, and advanced packet processing capabilities. This flexibility allows the device to manage various types of data traffic seamlessly, ensuring minimal latency and maximizing throughput. The platform is capable of handling thousands of concurrent sessions, making it ideal for environments where bandwidth and speed are critical.

In terms of technologies, the 3Com 7760 employs both Ethernet and IP/MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) protocols. This dual capability equips it to efficiently manage both traditional Ethernet traffic and more complex IP-based applications. The incorporation of MPLS enhances its ability to prioritize traffic, improve Quality of Service (QoS), and facilitate complex network designs such as virtual private networks, which are increasingly important in today’s interconnected landscape.

Another notable characteristic of the 3Com 7760 is its modular architecture. This design allows operators to customize the device according to their specific needs by adding or removing modules that support different functionalities such as additional ports, improved processing power, or specific network services. This scalability ensures that organizations can adapt to shifting demands without requiring complete hardware replacements.

Additionally, the 3Com 7760 boasts advanced security features that help protect the integrity of the data being transmitted across the network. With built-in firewall capabilities, intrusion detection systems, and support for secure tunneling protocols, it provides a substantial level of security that is essential for enterprise-grade networking.

Moreover, the device offers comprehensive management tools, allowing network administrators to monitor performance, troubleshoot issues, and configure settings effectively. These tools often include web-based interfaces and support for network management protocols, facilitating a streamlined operational experience.

In summary, the 3Com 7760 is a powerful networking solution characterized by its high capacity, versatile technologies, modular design, robust security features, and user-friendly management tools. These attributes come together to make it an ideal choice for organizations looking to enhance their network infrastructure and accommodate future growth.
