PoE Support
PoE support makes it easier to overcome installation problems with
difficult-to-wire or hard-to-reach locations. The same Category 5 cable
that connects the Access Point to the wired network also provides its
power, so AC power outlet locations and extra cabling are no longer
issues. You can source power from an 802.3af-compliant power sourcing
equipment (PSE) or use the supplied power adapter to power the Access
Point.
You can use the following 3Com PoE products to supply power to
OfficeConnect Wireless 108 Mbps 11g PoE Access Point:

(PoE)
Solves hard-to-wire location problems and reduces
cabling on the network. See “PoE Support”
.
User support Each Access Point can support up to 64 simultaneous
users (wireless stations), allowing plenty of room for
growth
WDS support Supports Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for
compatible wireless devices, allowing the Access Point to
act either as a wireless bridge or client/repeater. Both
point-to-point (PTP) and point-to-multipoint (PTMP)
bridge modes are supported. See “WDS Support”.
Simple configuration Provides an intuitive Web interface and default settings
that are suitable for most environments
DHCP client support Automatically obtains an IP address on a network that
