Designed to connect two or more separated Local Area
Networks (usually located in different buildings), the new
SMC EliteConnect
TM
802.11g Wireless Bridge is the easiest
alternative to a traditional wired network. It delivers high
data rate, and allows personnel in a corporate campus
environment to access all local and remote network
resources. The new 802.11g Wireless Bridge is also a
cost-effective solution. It eliminates the need for expensive
cabling and difficult-to-install leased lines.
SMC2586W-G has three operational modes: Access
Point/Bridge, Bridge Master, and Bridge Slave. The
Access Point/Bridge mode provides both Access Point
and Bridging functionalities. The Bridging function is
supported through Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
When SMC2582W-B and SMC2682W 802.11b 11 Mbps
Wireless Bridges exist in the same Bridging environment
as the SMC2586W-G, Bridge Master or Bridge Slave
modes can be used.
SMC2586W-G EliteConnect
TM
Wireless Bridge supports
advanced wireless security features including 64-bit or
128-bit key WEP wireless data encryption, 802.1x, the
new Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), disabled SSID broadcast,
wireless client isolation, and MAC address filtering to
block unauthorized wireless clients. In addition, the new
EliteConnect 802.11g Wireless Bridge provides multiple
levels of protocol filtering (Ethernet, IP, TCP/UDP) to
ensure network security.
The new EliteConnect
TM
2.4GHz 802.11g Wireless Bridge
also has flexible management features. Web-based network
management tools make configuration and remote
management of the network simple. IT professionals can
also use Telnet or TFTP to quickly and easily manage the
device. In addition, SMC2582W-B supports SNMP allowing
easy integration of your wireless LAN with your wired
infrastructure. Above all, SMC2586W-G 802.11g Wireless
Bridge comes with the EliteConnect
TM
Management
Utility that eases the Network Administrators’ large-scale
remote management problems. This reduces the IT work
burden and lowers the total cost of ownership.
SMC2586W-G comes with a detachable antenna. If
extended range is required, users can choose among the
wide selection of SMC 2.4GHz High Gain Antennas. The
new EliteConnect
TM
Wireless Bridge also supports Power
over Ethernet that adheres to 802.3af standard (using
optional SMCPWR-INJ3).
Combining all of the above features the SMC2586W-G
EliteConnect 2.4GHz 802.11g Wireless Bridge is the best
available, fast, reliable, and cost-effective building-to-
