SMC2582W-B

EliteConnect™ 2.4GHz 11 Mbps Wireless Bridge

www.smc.com

Designed to connect two or more separated Local Area Networks (usually located in different buildings), the new 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 new 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 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.

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). SMC2682W or SMC2586W-G 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 new EliteConnect

Wireless Bridge provides multiple levels of proto-

col filtering (Ethernet, IP, TCP/UDP) to ensure network security.

The new 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 syslog.

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 new EliteConnect

Wireless Bridge also supports Power over Ethernet that adheres to 802.3af standard (using optional SMCPWR-INJ3). Power over Ethernet reduces installation cost by using standard Category 5 cable to provide power to the Wireless Bridge.

Combining all of the above features the SMC2582W-B EliteConnect 2.4GHz Wireless Bridge is the best available, fast, reliable, and cost-effective building-to-building solution in the market.
