PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY
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.
Virtual Access Point (VAP) support provides flexibility by allowing a single
access point radio to operate as two separate access points.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Bridging support allows you to create
large wireless networks in areas where pulling wires is restricted or
cost-prohibitive by linking several wireless access points together with WDS
links.
Virtual Access Point (VAP) Support
Virtual Access Point (VAP) support allows an access point radio to operate as two
separate access points, providing multiple wireless services to clients in a network.
Each VAP can be configured to provide access to different network resources and
can support different levels of security.
For example, in a university network, an AP could be used to offer two services:
The first service provides access to protected data for authenticated university
staff members, while the second service provides open access to the Internet for
unauthenticated users, such as students or visitors.
Two VAPs per radio are available, and each VAP can be configured with its own
security settings.
For information on setting up and configuring VAPs, see “Enabling Virtual Access
Point (VAP)” on page 50.
