The 3Com® Wireless LAN Access Points 8200, 8500, and 8700 offer a
dual-mode architecture that supports both 802.11a and 802.11b wireless users
on a single device. This means you can mix and match radio bands to meet
different coverage and bandwidth needs within the same area. Different access
point models give you the flexibility to choose to support both radio modes
immediately or choose one radio mode now and upgrade to newer standards
later as they become available with an easy-to-install optional Mini PCI
upgrade kit.
With their flexibility and unfettered access, wireless LANs are changing the way
people work. Now with 3Com’s enterprise-class wireless access points, you can
build a cost effective, reliable, secure wireless network that provides users with
seamless connectivity to the Internet, company intranet, and the wired corporate
network from anywhere they happen to be—conference room, cafeteria or
office.
3Com’s dual-mode design supports both 802.11a and 802.11b wireless
standards on a single access point. This capability increases configuration and
coverage flexibility and protects your network investment for both existing and
emerging wireless standards.

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 Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) RC4 40/ 64-bit, 128-bit and 152-bit
shared-key encryption. 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), Wireless Protected Access and Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) support: EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP.
In addition to standards-based security, 3Com 128-bit Dynamic Security Link
offers the highest level of security, requiring a user name and password to access
the wireless LAN.

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.
M
ANAGEABILITY
3Com 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.
Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager and Wireless LAN Device Discovery tools
let you configure parameters, run diagnostics, and monitor performance from
anywhere on the network using an embedded web server browser. You can also
update wireless device software on multiple devices using 3Com Network
Supervisor to simplify bulk updates.

8
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.

EACHING
802.11
B
802.11b operates in the 2.4 GHz band at 11 Mbps. Ratified in 1999, it’s the most
widely deployed protocol in the market today due to the Wi-Fi Alliance’s
successful certification efforts that have ensured interoperability. It supports the
widest coverage—up to 100 meters (328 feet). However, 802.11b is slower than
802.11a and it is subject to a greater risk of radio interference because it operates
in the more popular 2.4 GHz band.
Consider 802.11b when you need wider coverage and vendor compatibility and
you are:
■
Implementing a complete wireless LAN solution, including bridges, gateways,
access points and clients; Wi-Fi certification guarantees compatibility
among vendors
■
Managing a tight budget; 802.11b is extremely price competitive with a wide
range of vendors and price points
■
Providing access to hot spots in public spaces such as coffee shops or
university cafeterias
■ Running applications that don’t require high bandwidth
H

ERFORMANCE
802.11
A
Ratified in 2002, 802.11a is IEEE’s more recent wireless standard. It operates at
the 5 GHz band and supports data rates at up to 54 Mbps. For those
organizations demanding even higher speeds, a “turbo mode” feature can boost
throughput rates up to 108 Mbps. And because there are fewer devices in the
5 GHz 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.

9
The higher spectrum provides about 50 meters (164 feet) of coverage—about
half what 802.11b offers.
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 fivefold 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 access points in a tighter space.

LANNING
The wireless solution supports a stand-alone wireless network configuration as
well as an integrated configuration with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LANs.
The wireless network cards, adapters, and access point can be configured as:

LAN
An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each equipped with a
wireless adapter, connected via radio signals as an independent wireless LAN.
Computers in a specific ad hoc wireless LAN must therefore be configured to the
same radio channel. An ad hoc wireless LAN can be used for a branch office or
SOHO operation.

LAN
The access point can also provide access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations.
An integrated wired/wireless LAN is called an infrastructure configuration. A Basic
Service Set (BSS) consists of a group of wireless PC users, and an access point that
is directly connected to the wired LAN. Each wireless PC in this BSS can talk to any
computer in its wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or
network resources in the wired LAN infrastructure via the access point.
The infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of wireless PCs
to the wired LAN, but also increases the effective wireless transmission range for
wireless PCs by passing their signal through one or more access points.
A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database, or for
connection between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure.

The Basic Service Set (BSS) is the communications domain for each access point.
For wireless PCs that do not need to support roaming, set the domain identifier
(SSID) for the wireless card to the SSID of the access point to which you want
to connect. A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for mobile
workers. More than one access point can be configured to create an Extended
Service Set (ESS). By placing the access points so that a continuous coverage area
is created, wireless users within this ESS can roam freely.

Roaming—A wireless LAN mobile user moves around an ESS and maintains a
continuous connection to the infrastructure network.
RTS Threshold—Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of
each other (they are “hidden nodes”). The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this
problem. If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS Threshold size, the
RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled.
VLAN—Virtual Local Area Network. A LAN consisting of groups of hosts that are
on physically different segments but that communicate as though they were on
the same segment.
WEP—Wired Equivalent Privacy is based on the use of security keys and the
popular RC4 encryption algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will
be excluded from network traffic.
WPA—Wi-Fi Protected Access.

15
DECIDING WHERE TO PLACE EQUIPMENT
The access point ideally designed for vertical installation on a wall surface, but
can also be flat-surface mounted in an elevated location where it will not
be disturbed. Ceiling installation is not recommended.
Whether you choose to mount the access point on a wall or place it on a flat
surface, make sure to select a clean, dry location that is elevated enough to
provide good reception and network coverage. Do not mount the access point on
any type of metal surface. Do not install the access point in wet or dusty areas.
The site should not be close to transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent
lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators or any other electrical equipment that can
interfere with radio signals.
If you are connecting the access point to a wired network, the location must
provide an Ethernet connection. You will need to run an Ethernet cable from the
power supply to the access point.
An access point provides coverage at distances of up to 100 Meters (300 Feet).
Signal loss can occur if metal, concrete, brick, walls, floors or other architectural
barriers block transmission. If your location includes these kinds of obstructions,
you may need to add additional access points to improve coverage.
If you plan to use an optional antenna instead of the standard detachable
antennas that are supplied, review “” on page 21 before selecting the final
location and be sure to allow for routing the antenna cable as required.
For optimal performance, ensure the access point operates in temperature
ranges between –10˚ C to 40˚ C (14˚ F to 104˚ F).
CAUTION: The 3Com power supply (part number 61-0107-000) input relies on a 16A
rated building fuse or circuit protector for short circuit protection of the line to neutral
conductors.
CAUTION: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the Power-over-Ethernet
(POE) power supply is properly connected. Connection to any other device, such as a
standard Ethernet card or another POE supply, may result in permanent damage to
equipment, electric shock, or fire. Refer to the installation instructions for proper
installation
Regulatory restrictions dictate that when this device is operational, the minimal
body-to-antenna distance is 1 Meter (3 Feet).

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Record the access point MAC address in a safe place before the access point is
installed in a hard-to-reach location. The MAC address is printed on the back of
the access point housing.
The following illustration shows the front and rear views of the access point,
including the LEDs and connecting ports.
CONNECTING THE STANDARD ANTENNAS
The Access Point 8200 is supplied with standard detachable antennas. These
should be attached before the access point is installed. If using an alternate
antenna, see “Selecting and Connecting a Different Antenna Model” on
page 22.

CAUTION: Do not handle the antenna tips, especially after they are connected
to the access point, as this could lead to electrostatic discharge (ESD), which
could damage the equipment.

17
2Screw an antenna into each of the sockets in the access point housing.
3Hand-tighten the antennas at the very base of the SMA connectors without
handling the antenna tips.
4Access Point 8200: Position the antennas so they turn out and away from the
access point at a 45-degree angle. After network startup, you may need to
adjust the antennas to fine-tune coverage in your area.
Depending on the coverage required for your site, you may want to replace
the standard detachable antennas with one of the external antennas available
for use with the access point. See “” on page 21.
CONNECTING POWER
It is advisable to connect the power and check the Ethernet cables and LEDs
before installing the unit in a hard-to-reach location.
The access point complies with the IEEE 802.3af power-over-Ethernet standard. It
receives power over a standard category 5 straight (8-wire) Ethernet cable.
There are two ways to supply power to the access point:
■Use the 3Com Integrated Power-over-Ethernet power supply. In this
case, you need to supply a second Ethernet cable to connect to the wired LAN.
■Connect the access point directly to your own power-over-Ethernet hub or
switch, which must also comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Rotate for
best reception.

18
If you supply your own Ethernet cable for connecting power, be sure that it is
standard category 5 straight-through (8-wire) cable that has not been altered
in any way. Use of nonstandard cable could damage the access point.
USING THE POWER SUPPLY
The power supply can be located at any point between the access point and the
LAN access port, wherever a convenient power outlet exists. If you supply your
own Ethernet cable for connecting power, be sure that it is standard category 5
straight-through (8-wire) cable that has not been altered in any way. Use of
nonstandard cable could damage the access point.
Refer to the illustration above, and follow these steps:
1Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the access
point.
2Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the port labeled To Access
Point on the power supply.
3Connect the power cord to the power supply and plug the cord into a power
outlet.

indicated on the mounting plate, with the smooth side against the wall.
1Install the mounting plate as shown in the following illustration, on either a
stud (or other hard wall surface), or onto drywall.
■Allow for a clearance of at least 25 cm (10 Inches) between the ceiling and
the top of the mounting plate.
■Make sure that “UP” is correctly oriented, and align the mounting plate
screw holes vertically.
■For installation on a wall stud, install the top screw into the stud, as shown
at left in the illustration, and then vertically align the mounting plate before
installing the bottom screw.
■For installation on to drywall, mark three screw holes using the mounting
plate as a template for vertical alignment, as shown at right in the
illustration above.
■Use a 5-mm (3/16-in.) drill bit if using the plastic anchors provided.
■For drywall mounts, you can route the cable through either a side or center
opening for a seamless appearance using one of the methods illustrated
below. Alternatively, you can simply attach the Ethernet cable to the side of
the unit, allowing it to trail along the wall.
■If you have routed the Ethernet cable through the center opening, secure
the cable on the hook located on the mounting plate as shown in the
illustration below.
2Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the access point.
If installing into drywall, use
3 plastic anchors and 3 screws.
If installing into a stud or other
secure vertical surface, use 2 screws.
