SIMPLE DEPLOYMENT, MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY capabilities in the 11 Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point 6000 allow businesses--including those without network IT staff--to maintain a secure wireless network. Used with 3Com's wireless LAN PC card with XJACK antenna, the Wi-Fi-certified access-point features a 60-second setup by simply connecting to the power source and switch or hub of a wired LAN. Also includes: power over ethernet for the access point over Category 5 ethernet cable; clear channel select, which automatically chooses the best available radio channel; autonetwork connect that keeps users linked, even while roaming across IP subnets; and a dynamic security link with user-specific, 128-bit encryption keys that change for each networking session, plus optional user authentication. Supports up to 65 simultaneous users at distances of 330'.--3Com
