and installation instructions.
The ADC family of products includes the following items:
• ADC Wireless LAN Array (WFX-3900/3700/3500) – ADC offers
multiple versions of the Wireless LAN Array to support a variety
of deployment types and client migration strategies. Each
Wireless LAN Array includes an embedded Array Controller and
comes in 16 (WFX-3900), 8 (WFX-3700), and 4 (WFX-3500)
Integrated Access Point configurations.
• ADC Centralized Management Platform (WFX-3300) – The
optional WFX-3300 can discover, authenticate and configure up
to 500 Wireless LAN Arrays from anywhere in the network.
• ADC Remote DC Power System (WFX-3100) – The optional
WFX-3100 provides a 48 volt DC power source for remotely
powering up to 12 DC-compatible Wireless LAN Arrays (for
example, WFX-3900-DC) in the event AC power is unavailable
or is cost prohibitive to deploy. The DC-compatible Wireless LAN
Array has a Buchanan socket located next to the ON/OFF
switch.
Features
