PoE (Power over Ethernet) - PoE Switches can deliver power to PoE-enabled devices like Wireless Access Points or

IP Phones through their Ethernet ports to eliminate the need for power outlets. These switches have built-in safeguards to poll connected end devices for PoE capability before delivering power. PoE enables companies to position Wireless Access Points virtually anywhere in their buildings when power outlets are not available or to optimize best possible wireless signal coverage for employees. PoE also enables phones to be placed or relocated to dierent areas where power outlets are not available.

Stackable Switches - Stackable switches are switches that can be connected and managed as one switch. For

example, four 24-port stackable switches could be managed as one 96-port switch. This capability helps to simplify and streamline management workow of the stack.

Small business users often need their networks to go with them when they travel. Or want to connect to a

satellite ofﬁce. Linksys Business Series products enable them to keep in touch with their home ofﬁce and stay on

the job anytime, anywhere they can connect to the Internet. Whether they need wired or wireless connectivity,

IPSec or SSL security, there is a Linksys Business Series product that will let them keep their employees productive.

In branch ofﬁces or on the road, they can communicate knowing that their data will stay safe. And many Business

Series products can be remotely managed, so a business’ network administrator can monitor, conﬁgure or

troubleshoot the network through a browser-based user interface.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) - PoE Switches can deliver power to PoE-enabled devices like Wireless Access Points or

IP Phones through their Ethernet ports. These switches have built-in safeguards to poll connected end devices for PoE capability before delivering power. PoE enables companies to position Wireless Access Points virtually anywhere in their buildings when power outlets are not available or to achieve best possible wireless signal coverage for employees. PoE also enables phones to be placed or relocated to dierent Ethernet nodes throughout a building.

SSID (Service Set Identier) - The SSID is the name of a wireless network broadcast by a wireless router or access

point to which wireless clients associate. The WAP200 has the ability to broadcast multiple SSIDs for discrete networks. One SSID, for example for surveillance, can be a password-protected private network with access rights to only select users in a business. Another SSID can also be a private company network for employee-only access to company resources or a public network, so guests of the company can access the Internet and their email.

Once a small business goes wireless, they will wonder how they ever lived without it. Now they can enjoy the

freedom to work anywhere, without cables and get the performance they have come to expect from a robust

business network—wirelessly. Many Linksys Business Series wireless routers, access points and adapters include

features like multiple SSID-to-VLAN mapping, 802.11g or 802.11n with Power over Ethernet, VPN security, Quality

of Service, WPA and WMM and more. At the same time, these devices are designed to be easy to set up, reliable,

and include powerful and intuitive management tools. Going wireless has never been so easy or affordable.
