•MAC-address-based access control. When the SMC2582W-B is in AP or Bridge Master mode, it can be configured to block unauthorized STAs or Bridge Slaves based on MAC (Media Access Control) addresses.The ACL (Access Control List) can also be downloaded from a TFTP server.
•Transmit power control. Transmit power of the SMC2582W-B can be adjusted to control the area of coverage.
•Link integrity. When the SMC2582W-B is in AP or Bridge Master mode and the Ethernet LAN interface is detected to be disconnected from the wired network, all currently associated wire- less clients (STAs and Bridge Slaves) are disassociated by the SMC2582W-B and no wireless client can associate with it thereafter.
•Associated wireless clients status. Showing the status of all wireless clients (STAs and Bridge Slaves) that are associated with the SMC2582W-B.
•Detachable antenna. The SMC2582W-B antenna can be replaced with high-gain antennas for long operating range.
•DHCP client. The SMC2582W-B can automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
•DHCP server. The SMC2582W-B can automatically assign IP addresses to computers or other devices by DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
•Static DHCP mappings. The administrator can specify static IP address to MAC address mappings so that the specified IP addresses are always assigned to the hosts with the specified MAC addresses.
•Showing current DHCP mappings. Showing which IP address is assigned to which host identified by a MAC address.
•Packet Filtering. The SMC2582W-B provides Layer 2,Layer 3,and Layer 4 filtering capabilities.
