Network Connect is the system infrastructure used by Access/One® Network for wired or wireless connection to the corporate LAN. Each Network Node within the Access/One® Network can utilize a wired 10/100 Ethernet or wireless 802.11a/802.11g module as a method of Node interconnectivity or connection to the enterprise network. Providing this wired or wireless choice for Node connectivity to the network achieves the ultimate in network flexibility and control.

When Nodes in the Access/One® Network are equipped with the wireless Network Connect option, the system provides several distinct advantages over a typical wireless network that uses wired connections, including:

  • Secure Networking ?LAN connection has strong encryption by default
  • Self Tuning ?discovery of optimal path for greatest performance
  • Self Healing ?failure conditions are routed around with no user intervention
  • Highly Scalable ?system grows without the need for infrastructure changes
  • Simple Installation ?system self configures itself, no additional wiring
  • Cost Effective ?high costs of pulling Ethernet cables are avoided

Unlike traditional wired 10/100 Ethernet LAN connections used by Access Points and WLAN Switches, the wireless Network Connect option for Access/One® Network provides an advanced level of security between the Node and the corporate LAN. Utilizing AES encryption with a secret key by default, the wireless Network Connect link is secure and cannot be compromised.

Access/One<sup><font face=® Network Modules" hspace=5 src="../images/network_modules.jpg" align=right vspace=5 border=0>Access/One® Network also supports a Network Connect via 10/100 Ethernet. When configured with this option, the Network Node connects to the network via a traditional wired Ethernet link, much like other Access Point and WLAN Switch solutions. The difference is that the Node is part of a cohesive and scalable wireless system, taking full advantage of the benefits that Access/One® Network brings.

Support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) is included as standard when using wired Network Connect, with three different types supported in all products, including IEEE 802.3af and Cisco’s two proprietary versions.

The Network Connect category of Access/One® Network provides you with the most flexible networking options. Choose from traditional wired 10/100 Ethernet, or a revolutionary method of wireless connectivity that brings unprecedented system features and capabilities.
