Designed to connect two or more separated Local Area Networks
(usually located in different buildings), the SMC EliteConnect
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 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 802.11g Wireless
Bridge connects difficult-to-wire locations, branch offices, school
or corporate campus environments, frequently changing workplaces,
temporary LANs, hospitals and warehouses. The Wireless Bridge also
allows multiple buildings to share a single Internet connection.
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 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
EliteConnect 802.11g Wireless Bridge provides multiple levels of
protocol filtering (Ethernet, IP, TCP/UDP) to ensure network
security.
The EliteConnect 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. Other management features include a system log,
event log and syslog. Above all, SMC2586W-G 802.11g Wireless Bridge
comes with the EliteConnect Management Utility
