System events are recorded in the memory of the SMC2586W-G. The logged
information is useful for troubleshooting purposes. The system events are
divided into several categories, and you can select which categories of
events to log. See Section 3.6.2.3 for more informa-tion.

Fig. 23. Operational modes settings.
The SMC2586W-G supports 3 operational modes for meeting various wire-
less connectivity requirements:
• Access Point (AP). The AP mode enables IEEE 802.11 Stations (STAs) to
auto-matically associate with it via the standard IEEE 802.11 association
process. In addition, the IEEE 802.11 WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
technology can be used to manually establish wireless links between two
APs or between an AP and a Bridge Master.
• Bridge Master (BM). Use this mode to provide the Bridge Master function-
ality of the SMC2682W. The Bridge Master mode is designed to work in
those networks where SMC2682W Wireless Bridge Slaves are already
installed. The Bridge Master enables Bridge Slaves to automatically associ-
ate with it. It also enables IEEE 802.11 Stations, which are on the same LAN
as the Bridge Master, to automatically associate with it via the standard
IEEE 802.11 association process. In addition, the IEEE 802.11 WDS (Wireless
Distribution System) technology can be used to manually establish wireless
links between two Bridge Masters or between a Bridge Master and an AP.
