SMC Networks SMC EliteConnect SMC2512W-B - Manual

In today’s enterprise world, mobility, flexibility, and security are
the important ingredients for enhancing the productivity and con-
venience of wireless networks in corporate environments. SMC’s new
EliteConnect 2.4GHz 802.11b High Power Wireless PCI Card
(SMC2512W-B) connects with an existing Ethernet installation so
wireless enterprise desktop users can gain instant network access
and resources. This new member of the EliteConnect family of
product line from SMC combines superior performance, range and
reliability.
The new SMC2512W-B provides wireless LAN access to desktop
computer with an available PCI slot. It offers an incredible trans-
mit power of 200mW, one of the highest in the industry. The SMC
EliteConnect 802.11b High Power Wireless PCI Card provides an
operating range up to 3 times greater than the standard 802.11b
wireless clients. Since it has the ability to significantly decrease
indoor multipath distortion, users will experience dramatic
improvements in the quality and throughput of their wireless net-
working. Equipped with a detachable antenna with two available
MMCX connectors, user can connect an optional high gain anten-
na (SMCANT-OM5) to increase the already superior range of the
SMC2512W-B.
Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard, this new product can be con-
figured for Ad-hoc mode (Peer-to-Peer) or Infrastructure mode
(communication to the wired network via an Access Point). Since it
is based on 802.11b standard, it is interoperable among different
802.11b compliant vendors. The included EZ Installation Wizard
enables quick and easy setup.
The new SMC2512W-B EliteConnect 802.11b High Power Wireless
PCI Card provides a high level of security to enterprises by sup-
porting both 64/128-bit WEP encryption and the new Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA)*. It also supports advanced enterprise level secu-
rity and RADIUS authentication through 802.1x, EAP-MD5,
EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and LEAP for user authentication to ensure
only authorized users can access the resources of the wireless
network. Moreover, profile management software allows the new high
power wireless desktop adapter the ability to save multiple wire-
less settings corresponding to different locations or networks.
Furthermore, the SMC2512W-B has a built-in utility program for
scanning all available Wireless Access Points on the network.
Combine all of these features including excellent
performance, range, reliability, ease-of-use with our free 24/7
technical support and you have a state-of-the-art, best-of-breed
high power 802.11b Wireless PCI Adapter to seamlessly integrate
into a new or existing wireless network.
* Available under Windows XP. Support for
Windows 98SE/ME/2000 will be available Q1 2004
