SMC SMC2890W-AG EliteConnect Wireless Outdoor Bridge SMC2890W-AG Leaflet

SMC2890W-AG / SMC2891W-AG

The EliteConnect™ 802.11a/g Wireless Outdoor Access Point/Bridge
is designed to bridge two or more wired LAN’s (usually located in dif-
ferent buildings), while simultaneously providing wireless access to
local or mobile users. The SMC2890W-AG/SMC2891W-AG incorpo-
rates a dual radio architecture to bridge over one wireless band and
provide wireless client access over the other band. The Dual-Band
Outdoor Access Point/Bridge is completely weatherproof and capa-
ble of being installed in a wide variety of different environments. It
comes in two models, SMC2890W-AG and SMC2891W-AG, the latter
with built-in 17dBi 5GHz antenna and uses Wireless Distribution
System (WDS) to allow bridging between remote locations. Up to 6
WDS Bridge links are supported to remote LAN’s and branch loca-
tions. Using dual radio architecture allows for different bridging
options using either the 802.11a or 802.11b/g wireless band. As an
alternative if the bridging functionality is not required you can use
both 802.11a and 802.11b/g in access point mode.

Security is the main concern for customers regarding enterprise
wireless networking. The EliteConnect' Universal 2.4GHz/5Ghz
Outdoor Access Point/Bridge provides enterprise level advanced
authentication and encryption security features.  Security features
include 64/128/152-bit WEP, or 128-bit Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) and authenti-
cation using 802.1x. SMC2890W-AG / SMC2891W-AG also supports
disable SSID Broadcast, Client Isolation, and MAC filtering.
SMC2890W-AG / SMC2891W-AG allows easy management options
through HTTP, SNMP, and Telnet. Web based network management
tools make configuration and remote management of the network
simple. SNMP allows for easy integration into your existing  wired
network and management infrastructure. Telnet uses command line
interface for local or remote management. Other management fea-
tures include Syslog and local Event Logging. The Dual-Band
Outdoor Bridge comes with available antenna connections to add
optional SMC high gain antennas to extend your wireless coverage
and range. The SMC2890W-AG has the option for both 802.11a and
802.11g high gain antenna options. The SMC2891W-AG has a 17dBi
built-in 802.11a flat panel antenna and optional 802.11g antenna.
SMC's line of high gain antennas offers the flexibility and reliability
that customers require. Other key Enterprise level features include
Spanning-Tree support anda RSSI (Received Signal Strength
Indicator). Spanning Tree can be used to detect and prevent network
loops in your Wireless LAN. This ensures only one route exists
between any two points on a network and can allow for Redundancy
in case one link goes down. RSSI is built into the web interface allow-
ing a user to view the Signal to Noise ratio between two bridge links,
thus enabling better antenna alignment and link monitoring.
