The Access Point (AP) supports Wi-Fi Protected Access security standards to provide a higher level of security for network data and communications. The 3Com AirConnect 9550 11n 2.4+5GHz PoE Access Point / 3Com AirConnect 9150 11n 2.4GHz PoE Access Point is also fully compatible with IEEE 802.11a (3Com AirConnect 9550 11n 2.4+5GHz PoE Access Point only), 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n.Key Product FeaturesThe product operates using 11a (3Com AirConnect 9550 11n 2.4+5GHz PoE Access Point only), 11b, 11g, or 11n modes. This access point creates an enterprise-class wireless LAN, supporting up to 64 simultaneous users.
8Key Product FeaturesSecurity3Com offers one of the most robust suites of standards-based security on the market today. To protect sensitive data broadcast over the wireless LAN, 3Com supports Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2). 3Com strengthens this basic security mechanism with additional security features, including MAC address access control lists, IEEE 802.1x per-port user authentication with RADIUS server authentication support, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Wireless Protected Access (WPA) and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) support: EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP. Performance And Reliability3Com 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.Manageability3Com offers a wide range of standards-based management support, from SNMP to 3Com Network Supervisor and HP OpenView for seamless integration with your wired network.
Key Product Features 9Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager and Wireless LAN Device Discovery tools let you configure parameters, run diagnostics, backup and restore configurations, and monitor performance from anywhere on the network using an embedded web server browser. 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 StandardsUnderstanding the characteristics of the 802.11a and 802.11g standards can help you make the best choice for your wireless implementation plans.802.11aRatified in 2002, 802.11a operates at the 5GHz band and supports data rates at up to 54Mbps. Because there are fewer devices in the 5GHz band, there’s less potential for RF interference. However, because it is at an entirely different radio spectrum, it is not compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g.
10 Key Product FeaturesThe higher spectrum provides about 50m (164ft) of coverage. Consider 802.11a when you need high throughput in a confined space and you are:■Running high-bandwidth applications like voice, video, or multimedia over a wireless network that can benefit from a five-fold increase in data throughput.■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/g802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n all operate in the 2.4GHz band. 802.11b can support data rate up to 11Mbps. 802.11g can support data rate up to 54Mbps. 802.11n can support data rate up to 300Mbps.They all support the widest coverage – up to 100m (328ft). It is however, subject to a greater risk of radio interference because it operates in the more popular 2.4GHz band.Consider 802.11n when you need wider coverage and vendor compatibility and you are:
Key Product Features 11■Maintaining support for existing 802.11b and 802.11g users and the existing wireless investment while providing for expansion into 802.11n.■Implementing a complete wireless LAN solution, including Ethernet Adapters, gateways, access points and clients; Wi-Fi certification guarantees compatibility among vendors.■Providing access to hot spots in public spaces such as coffee shops or university cafeterias.IEEE 802.3afThe IEEE 802.3af-2003 Power over Ethernet 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 Power over Ethernet capable Ethernet switch, may implement either scheme. If a mid-span PSE is used, then the mid-span PSE can only implement power delivery over the spare pairs of the copper cabling and cannot be used to deliver Power over Ethernet over 1000BASE-T connections. It should be noted that even if a device supports both methods of providing power, only one mechanism may be used to deliver power to a powered device. The first mechanism is to use the data pairs (pins 1, 2 & 3, 6) to transmit power, which is sometimes referred to as "phantom" power. The second power delivery mechanism is to use the
12 Key Product Featuresunused, from a 10/100BASE-T perspective, pairs (pins 4, 5 & 7, 8) to deliver power that is supported within mid-span power delivery.
Unpacking the device 132INSTALLING YOUR 3COMWIRELESS ACCESS POINTThis chapter contains the information you need to install and set up the Wireless Access Point. It covers the following topics:■Unpacking the device■Decide where to place the AP■Connecting the Access Point■Checking the LED indicators■For first time use - Installing Device ManagerUnpacking the deviceMake sure that you have the following items in the box:•One 3Com AirConnect 9550 11n 2.4+5GHz PoE Access Point or one 3Com AirConnect 9150 11n 2.4GHz PoE Access Point•Wall-mounting hardware:•Wall/table top bracket/stand

16 Deciding where to place your APDeciding where to place your APPlace the AP in a dry, clean location near the hub, switch, computer or printer that will be connected to the AP. The location must have a power source and be within the following distance of a Wi-Fi compliant wireless LAN access point or wireless access point.The key to maximizing the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:■Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise. The location should be away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators.■Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the AP and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your AP’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.■Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.■Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on
Wall Mounting the Wireless Access Point 17range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.Wall Mounting the Wireless Access PointUse the mounting bracket that comes with your Access Point to install it on a wall or electrical box.To wall-mount the Access Point:1Screw the mounting bracket to a wall or electrical box (NEMA enclosure):•If mounting to drywall, use the four screws and four wall anchors.•If mounting to an EU electrical box (60.3mm), use two threaded screws and insert into the holes maked “A” in the diagram shown below.

POST will run a test on the wireless circuit to check it is functioning correctly.When running the POST test, LED 1 (Power/System) will blink amber.When firmware is corrupted, LED 1 (Power/System) will be solid amber.
Networks with a DHCP Server 233CONFIGURING THE WIRELESSACCESS POINTIf the default AP configuration does not meet your network requirements, or if you want to customize the settings for your own network, you can use these tools to change the configuration:1Launch the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager (Widman) utility2Directly connect to the device through its Ethernet port or console portNetworks with a DHCP ServerIf your network has a DHCP server, an IP address is automatically assigned to the AP. It takes between one and two minutes for the Access Point to determine if there is a DHCP server on the network. Use the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager (Widman) included on the 3Com Installation CD to locate the Access Point on the network and view its IP address.
24 Networks without a DHCP ServerAfter 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 ServerIf your network does not have a DHCP server, the Access Point uses a factory assigned IP address (169.254.2.2). You can use that IP address to configure the Access Point, or you can assign a new IP address to the Access Point.To verify that the Access Point is using the default IP address assigned at the factory:1 Connect a computer directly to the Access Point using the supplied standard Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable.2 Enter the Access Point’s default IP address (169.254.2.2) into the computer’s web browser. If the Configuration Management System starts, the Access Point is using the factory assigned IP address. You can configure the Access Point with the following login information:■Login name: admin■Password: passwordIf the Configuration Management System does not start, the Access Point is on a different subnet than the computer. Install and start the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager to discover the Access Point’s IP address.

System Configuration 35System PropertiesThe System properties page allows you to define Device name, location, operation modes and Load Type. There are 5 operation modes to choose from:Access Point modeA Wireless LAN data transceiver that uses radio waves to connect a wired network with wireless station. Wireless Workgroup Bridge mode (Client Bridge mode)It acts as a wireless client in the network. Through this mode, you can connect to an access point through this device.Ad-hoc mode (peer to peer)An Ad-hoc mode allows 2 wireless clients to communicate to each other. An Ad-hoc network is a wireless network composed of stations without Access Points.Repeater modeA repeater is placed between two access points to extend the range of your infrastructure or to overcome an obstacle that blocks radio communication.
36 System ConfigurationWireless Bridge modeA wireless bridge connects two separate networks operating on the 802.11 standard. Load Types are either:FATDefault is set to be FAT mode AP. FAP AP has complete set of AP features which can work alone as an individual AP. FITFIT mode AP needs to be connected to a 3Com Wireless Switch to provide complete feature sets.
System Configuration 37IP SettingsThis setting must match the network’s method of IP address assignment. Choose DHCP or Static IP. With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), IP addresses are assigned for predetermined periods of time. Choose Static IP if your network does not have an automatic system for IP address assignment.
38 System ConfigurationWireless NetworkThe Wireless Access Point supports Multiple SSIDs which allows it to act as multiple APs appearing in a Wireless LAN network. You can configure up to 4 SSIDs on the device.Wireless Mode You can select your desired wireless operating mode from the drop-down manual. The AP supports Super Dynamic and Static modes and boosts throughput up to 108 Mbps.
System Configuration 39The Super Dynamic mode allows automatic switching between normal and turbo modes without modification by the user. The feature increases throughput when bandwidth demands are high. When bandwidth demands are low and at regular intervals, normal mode allows legacy connectivity and new associations. The Super Dynamic mode connection between the Ethernet Adapter and the access point may turn to normal mode connection if another station associates with the access point in normal mode. The Super Static mode operates by using two radio channels and does not switch to normal mode. Super Static mode must be configured by the user on both the access point and the station.Note that in order to enable Super mode, the opposite client service needs to provide the same specification. Channel / FrequencySelect the channel for your wireless LAN in Channel/Frequency block. The default setting is SmartSelect it selects the channel which provides the best transmission quality. The frequencies available vary depending which wireless mode you select.
40 System ConfigurationCurrent ProfilesA maximum of 4 profiles can be configured. Check the Enablebutton to activate a profile. Click the Edit button to change its configuration.SSIDService Set Identifier. This is the assigned name for a wireless Wi-Fi network. Stations must use this unique identifier to communicate with an Access Point. The SSID can be any alphanumeric entry up to a maximum of 32 characters.
System Configuration 41BSSIDBasic Service Set Identifier. This is the assigned MAC address of the station in the access point. This unique identifier is in Hex format and can only be edited when Multi BSSID is enabled in the previous screen.Suppressed SSIDIf you want to disable the broadcast of your SSID, you should check the Suppressed SSID box. It is also known as SSID Broadcast disable or Hide SSID.VLAN IDIf your network uses VLANs, you can assign an SSID to a VLAN. Client devices using the SSID are grouped in that VLAN.Station SeparationChoose either enable or disable to control the selected VAP (Virtual Access Point).SecurityThere are 4 levels of security available and all have differing properties:
42 System ConfigurationWEPWired Equivalent Privacy data encryption provides data security. WEP Share Key authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined hacker.From the drop down list choose open-system or shared keyauthentication. Select the desired input method (HEX or ASCII) From the drop down list choose from 40/64, 104/128, 128/152 key lengths.
System Configuration 43WPA OnlyWi-Fi Protected Access was constructed to provide improved data encryption, (which was weak in WEP), and to provide user authentication.Only allows WPA clients to connect to the VAP. You can choose TKIP or AES for encryption method The Group key update interval is configurable, default value is 1800 seconds You can choose personal mode (PSK) or enterprise mode (802.1X) authentication (default: PSK).
44 System ConfigurationIf you choose PSK, you will need to enter a pass phrase of 8-63 ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal digits.If you choose 802.1X, you will need access to a RADIUS server, port and secretWPA2-Only Only allows WPA 2 clients to connect to the VAP. You can choose TKIP or AES for the encryption method The Group key update interval is configurable, with a default value of 1800 seconds You can choose personal mode (PSK) or enterprise mode (802.1X) authentication (default: PSK). If you choose PSK, you will need to enter a pass phrase of 8-63 ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal digits.If you choose 802.1X, you will need access to a RADIUS server, port and secret.WPA2-Mixed Only allows both WPA and WPA2 clients to connect to the VAP. You can choose TKIP or AES for encryption method. The Group key update interval is configurable, with a default value of 1800 seconds.
System Configuration 45You can choose personal mode (PSK) or enterprise mode (802.1X) authentication. The default setting is PSK.If you choose PSK, you will need to enter a pass phrase of 8-63 ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal digits.If you choose 802.1X, you will need access to a RADIUS server, port and secret.Profile (SSID) Isolation Stations connected to different profiles cannot access each other. Choose from No Isolation (Full access), or to Isolate all Profiles (SSIDs) from each other, check use VLAN (802.1Q) standard.Multi-BSSIDCheck enable Multiple BSSIDS to allow each profile to send an individual beacon and station separation configuration. This can be done either manually or automatically.WDS Link SettingsWDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows access points to communicate with one another wirelessly in a standardized way. It can also simplify the network infrastructure by reducing the amount of cabling required. Basically the access points will act as a client and an access point at the same time.
46 System ConfigurationWDS is incompatible with WPA. Both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS link is bi-directional, so the AP must know the MAC address of the other AP, and the other AP must have a WDS link back to the AP.Dynamically assigned and rotated encryption keys are not supported in a WDS connection. This means that WPA and other dynamic key assignment technologies may not be used. Only Static WEP keys may be used in a WDS connection, including any STAs that are associated with a WDS repeating AP.Enter the MAC address of the other APs you want to link to and click enable.
System Configuration 47Supports up to 8 point to multipoint WDS links, check Enable WDS and then enable on the MAC addresses.Example of a WDS topology:AP1 <-- WDS --> Master AP (our AP) <-- WDS --> AP3<-- WDS --> AP4WDS Security SettingsThis item is only available in Access Point Mode and Wireless Bridge Mode.Choose the required security level from: None, WEP, WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (TKIP),or WPA2-PSK (AES).
48 System ConfigurationIf using WEP security, enter the WEP key. If using WPA, enter the pass phrase.Wireless Advanced SettingsTo configure advanced wireless settings, click Wireless Advanced Settings.

Service 51ServiceManagement VLANIf you reconfigure the Management VLAN ID, you may lose connectivity to the access point. Verify that the switch and DHCP server can support the reconfigured VLAN ID, and then re-connect to the new IP address.
52 ServiceIAPPInter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP)802.11F (IAPP) Support - Choose either Enable or DisableIAPP allows multiple access points to communicate and pass location information about their associated stations. If you enable 802.11F support you should manually add BSSID/IP mapping: ■Enter the BSSID and IP addresses of the AP. ■Click Add
Service 53Only stations roaming from one of the listed APs to this AP are allowed to re-associate with this AP. Others will be requested to go through the full association process.QoSThis section provides the administrator with the Quality of Service (QoS) data.The QoS setting is only available in AP Mode and Wireless Client Mode.The QoS Setting should be modified with caution because radio behavior is affected. These parameters can be modified when the radio for QoS service is Enabled.
54 ServiceAck-Policy - when the Ack-Policy is checked. The device will not send ACK frames. The default value is disabled.Setting DescriptionMin Contention Window For each access category, enter the minimum contention window value. Channel access is prioritized by assigning smaller contention window values to a higher priority traffic class. If a channel is busy or a transmission collides, a node chooses a random number between 0 and the current contention window minimum. Max Contention Window For each access category, enter the maximum contention window value. The minimum contention window value is doubled each time a collision occurs until the maximum is reached. A small contention window value decreases the access delay but increases the probability of a collision. Fixed Slot Time For each access category, enter the fixed slot time. Channel access can be strictly prioritized by assigning smaller contention window values to a higher priority traffic class. Traffic in the access category must wait for this fixed number of slots after each packet is received before resuming its random back-off. TransmitOpportunity Limit Enter the number of microseconds that qualified transmitters can transmit through the normal back-off procedure with a set of pending packets. Larger values allow a client to control the channel for longer periods of time, allowing it to achieve higher throughput in this access category at the expense of longer access times for all access categories.
Service 55The default value table: Admission Control Note: In this release, clients are blocked from using an access category when they select Enable for Admission Control. The Admission Control check boxes control client use of the access categories. When you enable admission control for an access category, clients associated to the access point must complete the WMM admission control procedure before they can use that access category. However, access points do not support the admission control procedure in this release, so clients cannot use the access category when you enable Admission Control.default : disableAC TYPEMin Contention Window(2x-1; x can be 0-10) Max Contention Window(2x-1; x can be 0-10) Fixed Slot Time(0-15) Transmit Opportunity(0-65535 μS) AC_BK 410 7 0AC_BE 4 6 3 0AC_VI 3 4 1 3008 (6016 when 11b) AC_VO (3)2 3 1 1554 (3264 when 11b) Setting Description
