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.

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.

The intelligent chassis design of the Linksys Network Storage System (NSS) series of products gives IT managers,
VARs and integrators the flexibility to configure or reconfigure a storage system for specific business requirements.
A Linksys Business Series NSS product can be optimized for performance, capacity and/or reliability depending on
the size and type of SATA (Serial ATA) drives selected or included. Supporting as many as 15 or 75 concurrent CIFS
4
users, Linksys Business Series NSS products bring robust Network Attached Storage (NAS) within reach of today’s
budget-minded small businesses or workgroups in larger organizations.
Linksys Business Series NSS devices are ideal for storing, backing up, sharing and archiving critical company or
customer information on an on-going basis. The feature set of the rack-mountable Linksys NSS series set it
apart from entry-level, desktop NAS systems. At the same time, its competitive pricing gives small businesses
the opportunity to realize substantial cost savings when compared with more expensive and inflexible storage
systems.
Unlike other NAS systems that need to contain operating system software on one or more hard drives, each
Linksys NSS product features a unique and intelligent chassis that contains the Linux OS that controls the system.
This gives the NSS system the flexibility to be configured without connected drives and reconfigured at any time,
even hot swapping and resorting hard drives to different storage bays.

Now small businesses, instead of piecing together different and sometimes incompatible networking products, phones and other devices, can have an integrated solution that’s designed to work together. With a Linksys One solution, small businesses also have a single trusted contact, a Linksys One VAR, who provides quick installation, training, and remote management, together with an authorized Service Provider that can deliver low cost, business applications and IP phone service.
Linksys One has powerful security, Quality of Service (QoS) and reliability built right into the solution, so a small business can focus on their business. This unique technology leverages years of Cisco and Linksys experience in building secure voice and data networks, and brings that expertise to the Linksys One solution.
As a small business grows, the Linksys One solution can grow with them. New employees can be connected to computers and phones in minutes. The Linksys One network updates itself and can automatically incorporate new Linksys One devices and applications to provide smarter ways for companies to transact business. This level of integration enables small businesses to scale their system cost effectively with simple moves, adds and changes.
Linksys Business Series SFE and SGE Stackable Switches and Network Storage Systems (NSS) are Linksys One Ready devices. That means they already include the necessary firmware to be integrated into a Linksys One network. All that a small business needs to do is to supplement their data network with a Linksys One Services Router (and Linksys One IP Phones if they want voice). The Linksys One Services Router will instantly discover the Linksys One Ready Switches, IP Cameras and NSS devices and join them to the network.

wireless data transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the added strength of WPA is that the key changes dynamically. The changing key makes it much more difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to the network.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some government users.
WPA-Personal A version of WPA that uses long and constantly changing encryption keys to make them difficult to decode.
WPA-Enterprise A version of WPA that uses the same dynamic keys as WPA-Personal and also requires each wireless device to be
authorized according to a master list held in a special authentication server.
Telnet A user command and TCP/IP protocol used for accessing remote PCs.
