FEATURES: EliteConnect 2.4GHz 11 Wireless Bridge
Designed to connect two or more separated Local Area Networks
(usually located in different buildings), the SMC EliteConnect
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 Wireless Bridge is also a cost-effective solution.
It eliminates the need for expensive cabling and difficult-to-
install leased lines.
The SMC2582W-B bridges two or more wired LANs. Connected to the
Ethernet backbone through an RJ-45 connector, the Wireless Bridge
(Access Point/Bridge and Bridge Master modes) can also function as
an Access Point, bridging between a wired LAN and one or more
wireless mobile PC-based stations. The EliteConnect 2.4GHz 11
Wireless Bridge connects difficult-to-wire locations, branch
offices, school or corporate campus environments, frequently
changing work-places, temporary LANs, hospitals and warehouses. The
Wireless Bridge also allows multiple buildings to share a single
Internet connection.
SMC2582W-B 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 SMC2682W Wireless Bridges exist in the same Bridging
environment as the SMC2582W-B, Bridge Master or Bridge Slave modes
can be used.
SMC2582W-B EliteConnect Wireless Bridge supports advanced wireless
security features including 64-bit or 128-bit key WEP wireless data
encryption, disabled SSID broadcast, wireless client isolation, and
MAC address filtering to block unauthorized wireless clients. In
addition, the EliteConnect Wireless Bridge provides multiple levels
of protocol filtering (Ethernet, IP, TCP/UDP) to ensure network
security.
The EliteConnect 2.4GHz 11 Mbps 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. Other management features include a system log,
event log and sys-log.
SMC2582W-B 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 EliteConnect Wireless Bridge also supports
