Basic IEEE 802.11b-related communication settings include AP functionality, Channel number,
Network name (SSID), Data rate, and Transmit power.
Fig. 36. Basic IEEE 802.11b communication settings.
For specific needs such as configuring the SMC2582W-B as a wireless LAN-to-LAN bridge, the AP
functionality can be disabled, so that no wireless client can associate with the SMC2582W-B.
The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations; therefore you have to choose an
appropriate regulatory domain to comply with local regulations.The SSID of a wireless client com-
puter and the SSID of the SMC2582W-B must be identical for them to communicate with each
other.
NOTE:The Regulatory domain setting of the SMC2582W-B sold in the U.S. and Canada is
not configurable. It is set to FCC by default. As a result, only channels from 1 to 11 are available.
If there is RF interference, you may want to reduce the Data rate for more reliable wireless trans-
mission. In most cases, leave the setting to Auto.
The transmit power of the RF module of the SMC2582W-B can be adjusted so that the RF coverage
of the SMC2582W-B can be changed.
