Wireless Access Point
18 Introduction
Key Features and Benefits
This section describes some of the key product features and the benefits you can
expect when deploying the Wireless AP (the XR-7630 product is used as an
example in this section).
High Capacity and High Performance
Figure 6. Layout of IAPs (XR-7630)
The XR-7630 version of the Wireless AP (Figure 6) enables wireless connectivity
and easily handles time-sensitive traffic such as voice. This model includes four
Gigabit uplink ports for connection to the wired network. Its sixteen IAPs (radios)
provide a maximum wireless capacity of 7.2 Gbps, which offers ample reserves
for the high demands of current and future applications. Of the sixteen IAPs,
fifteen operate as radios which may be set up to serve your choice of client
types — any or all of 802.11a/b/g/n (5 GHz or 2.4 GHz bands), providing
backwards compatibility with 802.11b and 802.11g.
In the recommended configuration, one IAP is configured in RF monitoring and
intrusion detection/prevention mode.
Extended Coverage
One XR-7630 solution enables you to replace fifteen access points (including one
omni-directional IAP for monitoring the network). Fifteen IAP radios with
integrated directional antennas provide increased wireless range and enhanced
