Manufacturer's product description
The 3Com Unified Gigabit Wireless PoE Switch 24 is the industry's first truly integrated and cost-effective Layer 2 Gigabit Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch that provides centralized management of both the wired and wireless network. This unified switch offers the small-to-medium-sized business market with 20 to 250 users a one-box solution for the integration of wired, wireless, PoE and convergence applications. Integration of wired Layer 2 switching, wireless access points, and PoE support provide single go-to point for network deployment, management and troubleshooting, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO). With centrally maintained access point settings, there is no need to individually configure each devices SSIDs, VLANs, access control lists and security settings. Full 15.4 watts of IEEE 802.3af compliant power on every port assures that every connection can support every type of Ethernet device, 3Com IntelliJack, cameras, access points, VoIP phones and more. The 3Com Unified Switch supports up to 24 access points (3Com Wireless 7760 11a/b/g PoE Access Point and 3Com Wireless 8760 Dual Radio 11a/b/g PoE Access Point) deployed using same or different policies (security, VLAN, QoS) for employees and guest visitors. Automatic discovery and configuration of supported access points minimizes the installation time and configuration of the wireless network. Fast roaming provides quick handoff of user information and authorizations, enabling seamless roaming with session integrity and mobility robust enough to support voice traffic. Load balancing allows the switch to adjust user-to-AP ratio to maximize WLAN user throughput and performance. IEEE 802.1X authentication in the 3Com Unified Switch centralizes authentication control and management of all network users, to help ensure that only authorized users access the network. Enterprise-class wireless encryption with WiFi CERTIFIED radios using WPA and WPA2, AES, TKIP and WEP encryption help protect and secure all wireless communications. Rogue access points can be a security threat to the network and the business. The Unified Switch can identify these unauthorized APs and can take mitigation actions. The extensive VLAN and ACL capabilities of the 3Com Unified Switch provide scalable security and network design, while maintaining strict security and access control throughout the network. The Unified Gigabit Wireless PoE Switch 24 delivers non-blocking 10/100/1000 wire speed Gigabit throughput to handle the most bandwidth-hungry applications. IEEE 802.1p Class of Service (CoS) and automatic assignment of Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic to dedicated VLANs helps ensure that critical time-sensitive traffic gets the priority needed for quality communications. This product comes with support for unified management of up to 24 of these access points: 3Com Wireless 7760 11a/b/g PoE Access Point; 3Com Wireless 8760 Dual Radio 11a/b/g PoE Access Point; Max. 30 users per AP radio; 250 wireless clients max. per switch.
Advantages: Poe on all ports, easy to set up, very user friendly web interface Disadvantages: none
...This is a fantastic value for money switch. With power over ethernet available on all ports you can de-clutter your office by removing the requirement for individual power adaptors for each phone whilst also offering easy portability for them. Additionally, placing your switch on a UPS means that all of your phones are kept powered up
This is a switch that suits all types - fromt he beginner, this can be tplugged in straight out of the box with no configuration required, or you can configure more advanced features such as VLans, DHCP, Quality of service, etc via an easy to use web interface.
Whether you're looking for your first switch or an upgrade to your existing network, this is a highly recommnded item that will offer you futureproofing as well....

...this to configure the IP Addressing, otherwise you may have to set up IP Addressing manually but it's no hard deal. Note however that with the GS605 you won't obtain gigabit speeds on the network unless each machine is equipped with a gigabit Ethernet card and is then plugged into the switch with a Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable - Cat5 doesn't support gigabit speeds. All of the ports on the GS605 support Auto Uplink so you don't need to worry about what type of Ethernet cable to use, although to conform to standards I used straight-through cabling for all connections to computers.
When connected Gigabit devices light up on the switch with a green status indicator and the 100M/10M devices light up with an amber status indicator. The switch operates completely silent and doesn't make that horrid high-pitched whining sound which I have heard on many other...

Advantages: Better than a hub, Well priced Disadvantages: Only 5 ports, yet another damn power adapter!
...(also tells you the current load (%) on the network), but was just too slow when copying large files from machine to machine (like when I need to install or copy a windows service pack onto a machine (100megs worth!)
Actually, its not that slow, but in this day and age, I want it copied and I WANT IT NOW! So patiance is not one of my more exercised virtues... Along comes the Linksys 5 portswitch. Firstly, While wondering through PC World (yes, I know), I started to look and the hubs, hoping a 100BaseT would catch my eye for next to nothing. Well, that didn't happen. There were some nice 3Com hubs, but for a 100BaseT, I was looking at over £100.
Then something caught my eye. It was screaming 200Mbs at me and was only £70. I picked up the box with trembling hands, it was not a hub, it was a switch...I had heard of these, but thought...
