    Access Point 8850—Creates a high-performance enterprise-class access point in an 802.11g and an 802.11a WDS bridge. ECURITY 3Com offers one of the most robust suite of standards-based security on the market today. To protect sensitive data broadcast over the wireless LAN, 3Com supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
  • Page 9: Performance And Reliability

    ERFORMANCE AND ELIABILITY 3Com wireless access point performance features ensure reliable and seamless connections for users wherever they roam: Automatic channel selection automatically finds the least loaded channel for interference-free communication. Auto network connect and dynamic rate shifting keep users connected through a wide variety of conditions by changing to the optimum connection speed as they move through the network.
  • Page 10: Wds Bridging And Spanning Tree Protocol (Stp) Support

    WDS Bridging and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Support A Distribution System (DS) is a network (typically a wired network) that interconnects separate access points into a single LAN. With WDS, the interconnection no longer needs to be physically wired. WDS uses the wireless medium to interconnect separate access points, thereby eliminating the cost and inconvenience that may hinder wire installations.
  • Page 11: Manageability

    For added security, the AP 8250 supports AES encryption over the WDS link. Additionally, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) support prevents loops from being formed on the network. For more information on these items, see the Wireless LAN Access Points User Guide.

    All references to power supply in this document refer to equipment meeting these requirements. CAUTION: The 3Com power supply input relies on a 16A rated building fuse or circuit protector for short circuit protection of the line to neutral conductors.
  • Page 24: Before You Begin

    Configuring a wireless LAN can be as easy as placing a 3Com Wireless Access Point in a central area and making the necessary connections to the AP and the clients. However, installing multiple Access Points may require more planning. Using the 3Com Site Survey tool (located on the installation CD) can help you determine if your wireless LAN connectivity and throughput is adequate and all users are covered by an Access Point.

    ERVERS This option controls whether the web management interface is enabled. There are two protocols available for web server connection: HTTP—Sends data unencrypted over the network. HTTPS—Uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt information between the access point and the web browser. By default, both protocols are enabled.
  • Page 41: Radius

    Disable—The access point does not monitor the wired network, and therefore, the radio interface does not shut down due to a broken Ethernet link. This is the default setting. Enable—The access point monitors the Ethernet link and shuts down radios if the link is broken.
  • Page 42 The access point uses the secondary accounting server if a failure is detected in the primary accounting server. It continues to use the secondary accounting server until it fails, in which case it returns to sending data to the primary accounting server.
  • Page 43: Authentication

    UTHENTICATION The Authentication page allows you to configure the type of upper-layer authentication the access point uses for wireless clients. This authentication setup is applicable for both radio interfaces. Access is checked against the MAC Address authentication database stored on the access point. NOTE: This level of authentication occurs BEFORE any 802.1x authentication configured on the Security page.
  • Page 44 Required — Clients authenticate to a RADIUS server via the access point. Clients are not allowed onto the wired LAN until authentication is successful.

    ECURITY ILTERS These options allow you to block communication among wireless clients (client-to-client blocking) and prevent wireless clients from performing access point administration. Ethernet Broadcast Storm Control—This option allows users to limit broadcast/multicast traffic coming from the Ethernet network. This feature allows wireless clients to communicate properly under a heavy broadcast environment.
  • Page 48: Filtering By Ethernet Protocol Type

    For security reasons it is desirable to block client to client communications for wireless clients associated with an access point (AP). It is also desirable to block client to client communications between clients associated with different AP’s on the local sub net. For instance an airport may have several AP’s to service several "hot spots"...
