OAW-4102 - 36-Port Alcatel OmniAccess WLAN Appliance with one 1000Base-SX/LC Network
Adapter, used only in
redundant GigE connections to bypass single network failures. That is, at any given time one of
the 4102 Alcatel OmniAccess WLAN Appliance GigE connections is active and the other is
passive. Upon a network failure, the active connection becomes passive, and the passive
connection becomes active. Note that the 1000Base-SX Network Adapters provide 100/
1000 Mbps wired connections to a network through 850nM (SX) fiber-optic links using LC
physical connectors.
Note that all Alcatel OmniAccess Switch and Appliance models come from the factory with 19-inch EIA
equipment rack flush-mount ears and tabletop mounting feet.
The following upgrade modules are also available:
•
OAW-ESM - Enhanced Security Module: Supports VPN, L2TP, IPSec and other
processor-intensive security options. This is a factory-orderable and field-installable option for
all Alcatel OmniAccess Switches and Appliances.
•
OAW-GT - 1000Base-T Network Adapter Module: Supports 1000Base-T connections to the
network. This is a factory-orderable and field-installable option for 4012 and 4024 Alcatel
OmniAccess WLAN Switches.
•
OAW-GSX - Single-1000Base-SX Network Adapter Module: Supports 1000Base-SX connections
to the network. Note that the 1000Base-SX Network Adapter Module provides a 100/1000 Mbps
wired connection to a network through an 850nM (SX) fiber-optic link using an LC physical
connector. This is a factory-orderable and field-installable option for 4012 and 4024 Alcatel
OmniAccess WLAN Switches.
•
OAW-GSX2 - Dual-1000Base-SX Network Adapter Module: Supports two 1000Base-SX connec-
tions to the network. This is a factory-orderable and field-installable option for 4012 and 4024
Alcatel OmniAccess WLAN Switches. The dual-1000Base-SX module uses two redundant GigE
connections to bypass single network failures. At any given time one of the dual-1000Base-SX
module GigE connections is active and the other is passive. Upon a network failure, the active
connection becomes passive, and the passive connection becomes active. Note that the
1000Base-SX Network Adapter Module provides 100/1000 Mbps wired connections to a
network through 850nM (SX) fiber-optic links using LC physical connectors.
