Employees
have embraced the freedom afforded by laptops, PDAs and
other mobile devices and are now requiring easier connectivity
with the corporate wired network. As a result, businesses
need to provide their workforce with both wired and wireless
connectivity. At the same time, corporate
networks are
growing and evolving, which means they need to expand
with greater speed and flexibility. This creates a problem.
How can you accomplish both without compromising network
security?
Next
Horizon’s complete line of integrated
wired and wireless solutions makes it easy to add secure
wireless
into an existing network infrastructure or to create a
new wireless
network from the ground up. By requiring the
use of IPSec encryption to create a VPN on the wireless
LAN, Next
Horizon’swireless solutions deliver wireless
security to keep even the most aggressive
hackers out of your network. A fully loaded suite of integrated
features
and services provides the network flexibility and security
to meet your businesses needs.
Power-over-Ethernet eliminates
the need to run 110 power to Wireless Access Points, VoIP
Phones, and
other devices on a wired LAN. Using Power-over-Ethernet system
installers need to run only a single CAT5 Ethernet cable
that carries both power and data to each device.
Power-over-Ethernet begins with a CAT5 Injector that inserts
the DC Voltage into the CAT5 cable. The Injector is typically
installed in the wiring closet near the Network switching
equipment. Some larger more expensive switches have the injectors
built into each port of the switch eliminating the need for
additional equipment.
Some Wireless Access Points and VoIP phones accept the injected
DC power directly from the CAT5 cable through their RJ45
jack. These devices are considered to be PoE-Compatible or
Active Ethernet Compatible. Devices that are not PoE Compatible
can be converted by the use of Active Ethernet Splitters.
This device picks-off the DC Voltage that has been injected
into the CAT5 cable by the Injector and makes it available
to the equipment through a regular DC power jack.
Now the question arises what if you accidentally plug a
non compatible device into the RJ45 plug?
The Advanced Auto-sensing Algorithm utilized by the PoE
Injectors’ built-in intelligence will automatically
determine and supply power only to devices that can accept
power over the Ethernet connection. This prevents damaging
equipment from the DC power.

Ethernet.
