an IP address by DHCP and it is always assigned the same IP address.
To always assign a static IP address to a specific DHCP client:
1.
Specify the MAC address of the DHCP client and the IP address to be assigned to it.
Then, give a description of this mapping.
2. Select
the
corresponding
Enabled
check box.

Transmit power
.
Fig. 36. Basic IEEE 802.11b/g communication settings.
For specific needs such as configuring the SMC2585W-G as a wireless LAN-to-LAN bridge,
the AP functionality can be disabled, so that no wireless client can associate with the
SMC2585W-G.
Since the IEEE 802.11g-based SMC2585W-G is also IEEE 802.11b compatible, you can
configure the
Policy
setting to meet your backwards compatibility needs. If the
SMC2585W-G is used in an environment in which all wireless clients are IEEE
802.11b-based, set
Policy
to
b only
. If all the wireless clients are IEEE 802.11g-based, set
Policy
to
g only
. For maximal flexibility, set
Policy
to
Mixed
, in which mode, the
SMC2585W-G supports both IEEE 802.11b- and IEEE 802.11g-based wireless clients.
The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations; therefore you have to
choose an appropriate regulatory domain to comply with local regulations. The SSID of a
wireless client computer and the SSID of the SMC2585W-G must be identical for them to
communicate with each other.
NOTE:
The
Regulatory domain
setting of the SMC2585W-G sold in the U.S. and Canada
in not configurable. It’s set to FCC by default. As a result, only channels from 1 to 11 are
available.
If there is RF interference, you may want to reduce the
Data rate
for more reliable wireless
transmission. In most cases, leave the setting to
Auto
.
