• 64-bit and 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). For wireless
data encryp-tion.
• IEEE 802.1x/RADIUS. When the SMC2586W-G is in Access Point
mode, it can be configured to authenticate wireless users and
distribute encryption keys dynami-cally by IEEE 802.1x Port-Based
Network Access Control and RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In
User Service).
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). The SMC2586W-G supports the
new WPA stan-dard. Both WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode and full
WPA mode are supported. WPA is composed of TKIP (Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol) and IEEE 802.1x and serves as a successor to
WEP for better WLAN security.
• Enabling/disabling SSID broadcasts. When the SMC2586W-G is in
AP or Bridge Master mode, the administrator can enable or disable
the SSID broadcasts functionality for security reasons. When the
SSID broadcasts functionality is dis-abled, an STA or Bridge Slave
cannot associate with the AP or Bridge Master with an ANY network
name (SSID, Service Set ID); the correct SSID has to be specified on
the STA or Bridge Slave.
• MAC-address-based access control. When the SMC2586W-G is in
AP or Bridge Master mode, it can be configured to block unautho
rized 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 SMC2586W-G can
be adjusted to control the area of coverage.
• Wireless client isolation. When the SMC2586W-G is in AP or
Bridge Master mode, wireless-to-wireless traffic between STAs can
be blocked so that the STAs cannot see each other. This capability
can be used in hotspots applications to pre-vent wireless hackers
from attacking other wireless users’ computers.
n Link integrity. When the SMC2586W-G is in AP or Bridge Master
mode and the Ethernet LAN interface is detected to be disconnected
from the wired network, all currently associated wireless clients
(STAs and Bridge Slaves) are disassociated by the SMC2586W-G and
no wireless client can associate with it thereafter.
n Associated wireless clients status. Showing the status of all wire
less clients (STAs and Bridge Slaves) that are associated with the
SMC2586W-G.
