System events are recorded in the memory of the SMC2585W-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 information. 19 3. 3. The SMC2585W-G supports 4 operational modes for meeting various wireless connectivity requirements: Bridge Repeater. In this mode, both WLAN interfaces are configured as LAN-to-LAN bridge interfaces. A bridge repeater forwards packets between two wireless LAN-to-LAN bridges. In this mode, one WLAN interface is configured as an AP interface, and the other is configured as a LAN-to-LAN bridge interface. In this mode, one WLAN interface is configured as an AP interface, and the other is configured as an AP client-based dynamic bridge Interface. In this mode, both WLAN interfaces are configured as AP interfaces. The dual AP can handle twice the number of wireless clients than a normal AP. In any mode, the SMC2585W-G forwards packets between its Ethernet interface and wireless interface for wired hosts on the Ethernet side and wireless host(s) on the wireless side. There are 2 types of wireless links between two SMC2585W-Gs or between an 20 SMC2585W-G and another wireless device. This type of wireless link is specified in the IEEE 802. 11 standard for communication between an IEEE 802. 11 Station (STA) and an IEEE 802. 11 Access Point (AP). An STA is usually a client computer (PC or PDA) with a WLAN network interface card (NIC). This type of wireless link is specified in the IEEE 802. 11 standard for communication between two IEEE 802. 11 APs. Wireless packets transmitted along the WDS link comply with the IEEE 802. 11 WDS (Wireless Distribution System) format at the link layer. The relationships among the operational modes and the wireless link types are shown in the following table: 3. 3. 2. On this page, you can change the user name and password for the rights to modify the configuration of the SMC2585W-G. The new password must be typed twice for confirmation. 3. 3. 3. Firmware management operations for the SMC2585W-G include firmware upgrade, configuration backup, configuration restore, and configuration reset. [. . . ] All SMC products carry a standard 90-day limited warranty from the date of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. SMC may, at its own discretion, repair or replace any product not operating as warranted with a similar or functionally equivalent product, during the applicable warranty term. SMC will endeavor to repair or replace any product returned under warranty within 30 days of receipt of the product.
