INTRODUCTION 1 The 3Com AirConnect 9550 11n 2.4+5GHz PoE Access Point and the 3Com AirConnect 9150 11n 2.4GHz PoE Access Point are high performance access points that allow you to join isolated wired Ethernet networks into a unified wireless local area network (WLAN). The Access Point (AP) supports Wi-Fi Protected Access security standards to provide a higher level of security for network data and communications. The AP is also fully compatible with IEEE 802.11a (the 9550 AP only), 802.11

Key Product Features 9 With Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, the same Category 5 cable that connects your access point to the data network also provides its power. A single cable installation dramatically improves your choice of mounting configurations because you no longer need to consider AC power outlet locations. PoE support makes it easier than ever to overcome installation problems with difficult-to-wire or hard-to-reach locations. Wireless Network Standards Understanding the chara

10 Key Product Features ■ Transferring large files like computer-aided design files, preprint publishing documents or graphics files, such as MRI scans for medical applications that demand additional bandwidth. ■ Supporting a dense user base confined to a small coverage area. Because 802.11a has a greater number of non-overlapping channels, you can pack more wireless devices in a tighter space. 802.11b/g 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n all operate in the 2.4GHz band. 802.11b can support data

Key Product Features 11 ■ Providing access to hot spots in public spaces such as coffee shops or university cafeterias. IEEE 802.3af The IEEE 802.3af-2003 Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard defines terminology to describe a port that acts as a power source (PSE) to a powered device (PD). The IEEE 802.3af standard states that power may be delivered by an end-point PSE, using either the active data wires of an Ethernet port or the spare wires, to a powered device. An end-point PSE, such as a

14 Networks without a DHCP Server After you determine the AP’s IP address, you can enter that IP address into a web browser on a computer on the same subnet to view the Access Point’s system status or change its configuration. Networks without a DHCP Server If your network does not have a DHCP server, the Access Point uses a factory assigned IP address (169.254.2.111). You can use that IP address to configure the Access Point, or you can assign a new IP address to the Access Point. To verif
