The transmit power of the RF module of the SMC2585W-G can be adjusted so that the RF
coverage of the SMC2585W-G can be changed.

Fig. 37. Link integrity settings.
When the SMC2585W-G is in AP mode and the Ethernet LAN interface is detected to be
disconnected from the wired network, all currently associated wireless clients are disassoci-
ated by the SMC2585W-G and no wireless client can associate with the SMC2585W-G. The
detection mechanism is based on pinging the IP address specified in
Reference host
.

Traditionally, access points are connected by Ethernet. By IEEE 802.11 Wireless Distribution
System (WDS), APs can communicate with one another wirelessly. For example, in Fig. 38,
AP 2 acts as an access point for the notebook computers and it forwards packets sent from
the notebook computers to AP 1 through WDS. Then, AP 1 forwards the packets to the
Ethernet LAN. Packets destined for the notebook computers follow a reverse path from the
Ethernet LAN through the APs to the notebook computers. In this way, AP 2 plays a role of
“AP repeater”.
