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
