Warranty Information
No warranty information is available in the provided document excerpt.
The WS5100 switch is a centralized management solution for wireless networking. It connects to non-legacy access ports, acting as a bridge for data to and from wireless devices. The switch applies policies to data packets before forwarding them. Access port configuration is managed via a Web UI, SNMP, or CLI. The WS5100 is a rack-mountable device providing security, network service, and system management. It collects management intelligence from individual access ports/points and centralizes it. Access ports are 48V PoE devices that receive firmware from the switch upon initial power-up.
