Enterprise-Class 3Com
Access Points 7250/8250/8500/8750
Full Standards Support
With 3Com
®
, the freedom of wireless net-
working includes the freedom of choice.
The 3Com Wireless LAN Access Points
8250, 8500, and 8750 offer a dual-mode
architecture that supports 802.11-stan-
dard 11a, 11b, and 11g wireless users on a
single device. The 3Com Wireless LAN
Access Point 7250 features a single 11g
radio design that provides real value with
advanced enterprise features at an eco-
nomical price.
Modular and Upgradeable
3Com Wireless LAN Access Points
8250/8500/8750 were designed from the
ground up as a modular, upgradeable plat-
form for configuration flexibility and
investment protection. They offer the
flexibility to mix and match radio bands
to meet different coverage and bandwidth
needs within the same area. With easy-to-
install Mini PCI upgrade kits, you can
choose to support two different radio
modes now, or choose one radio mode and
upgrade or add another mode as your
needs grow.
Tough Security
3Com delivers one of the most robust
suites of standards-based security on the
market today on all of its enterprise-class
access points. To protect the wireless
LAN, 3Com supports Wireless Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) RC4 40/ 64-bit, 128-bit and
154-bit shared-key encryption. 3Com
strengthens this basic security mechanism
with additional security features, includ-
ing local MAC authentication, Dynamic
Security Link (DSL) session encryption,
802.1x RADIUS server authentication, and
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
and Wireless Protected Access (WPA)
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
user authentication. Your wireless link
receives the highest available protection
with WPA Advanced Encryption Service
(AES) 256-bit encryption.

Performance and Reliability
3Com wireless access point performance
features ensure reliable and seamless con-
nections for users wherever they roam.
Clear Channel Select 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.
Manageability
3Com offers a wide range of standards-
based management support, from SNMP
to 3Com Network Supervisor (3NS) and
HP OpenView for seamless integration
with your wired network. Wireless
Infrastructure Device Manager and
Wireless LAN Device Discovery tools let
you configure parameters, run diagnos-
tics, and monitor performance from
anywhere on the network using an
embedded web server browser. You can
also replicate wireless device configura-
tions from one access point to another
using the save and load feature to simplify
and reduce network administration.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Flexibility
PoE support makes it easier than ever to
overcome installation problems with diffi-
cult-to-wire or hard-to-reach locations. The
same Category 5 cable that connects the
access point to the wired network also pro-
vides its power, so AC power outlet
locations are no longer an issue. You can
source power from a 802.3af-compliant PoE
switch or with an included power injector
or adapter.*
* 802.3af-compliant power injector
included with the AP 8250/8500/8750; the
AP 7250 ships with an AC power adapter.
