AP2750 Managed Access Point

3CRWX275075A 

The 3Com AP2750 Managed Access Point provides IEEE 802.11a or 802.11b/g wireless access to the 
network. The access point is designed for use with a 3Com Wireless LAN Switch, and requires 
hardware installation only. All configuration for the access point takes place on the 3Com Wireless 
LAN Switch.

You must have a wireless switch device to operate the access point. Two WLAN switch devices can be 
connected to the access point:

3Com WX4400

3Com WX1200

Power can be supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE) or by an external power supply. Four 3Com PoE 
devices supply power to the access point: 

3Com PoE Injector

3Com 4400PWR PoE Switch

3Com Multi-port PoE power supply

3Com WX1200
