Wireless SMC2555W-AG2
EliteConnect™ Universal 2.4GHz/5GHz Wireless Access Point
www.smc.com
The EliteConnect™ Universal 2.4GHz/5GHz Wireless Access Point
(SMC2555W-AG2) provides a secure and high-performance enterprise
class wireless LAN supporting up to 64 users. The reliability, security, and
manageability of the SMC2555W-AG2 make it an ideal solution for any
organization looking to satisfy its workforce’s mobile computing needs
New features included in the new SMC2555W-AG2 include Multiple SSID
support, Wireless Distribution System (WDS), VLAN tagging, and Wireless
Multimedia (WMM) support. Multiple SSID’s allow you to create virtual
access points with one physical unit. You can set different encryption
schemes and VLAN ID’s per SSID which allows for segmentation of user
groups and policies. WDS support enables repeating functionality
between other SMC enterprise access points or bridges. Wireless
repeating is an alternative to extending your wireless coverage without
the need to run Ethernet cables.
Wireless LAN security is a main concern in enterprise deployment. The
EliteConnect™ Universal 2.4GHz/5GHz Wireless Access Point provides
enterprise level advanced authentication and encryption security
features. Security features include the new Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA
and WPA2), up to 152-bit WEP encryption, AES, 802.1x authentication
access control with key rotation (MD5, EAP-TLS per user per session key,
EAP-TTLS per user per session key, session key and broadcast key
rotation, and PEAP), support for FUNK Odyssey and Microsoft RADIUS
Server, up to 1024 MAC address authentication, disabled SSID broadcast,
and up to 64 virtual LANs (VLANs) through 802.1x.
The new SMC2555W-AG2 also has flexible management features.
Web-based network management tools make configuration and remote
management of the network simple. IT professionals can also use
Command Line Interface (CLI) to quickly and easily manage the device,
along with telnet and SSH. In addition, SMC Networks EliteView
Management Software and SNMP (v1, 2c, 3) support in SMC2555W-AG2
allows easy integration of your wireless LAN with your wired infrastructure.
Other management features include Syslog and Event Logging.
If extended range is required, users can choose among the wide selection
of SMC 2.4GHz/5GHz High Gain Antennas. SMC2555W-AG2 comes with
detachable antennas with R-SMA connectors for optional 2.4GHz and
5GHz High Gain Antennas for extended range and coverage. The new
enterprise level 802.11a/b/g Wireless Access Point supports Power over
Ethernet that adheres to 802.3af standard. Power over Ethernet support
reduces installation cost by using standard Category 5 cable to provide
power to the Access Point. In addition, SMC2555W-AG2 provides
an anti-theft mechanism by integrating a Kensington security slot on the
device. All of the above make SMC2555W-AG2 a perfect solution with
unparalleled flexibility and investment protection for your wireless LAN
deployment.
FEATURES

Flexible management features
Detachable antennas
Enterprise level of authentication and encryption security
Quality of Service Support
Power over Ethernet support
BENEFITS
OVERVIEW
Simultaneous support of IEEE802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g wireless
clients. IEEE802.11a/b/g compliance allows for seamless
interoperation among multiple vendors
Flexible network management through CLI, Web, Telnet, SSH, TFTP,
SNMP make it simple and easy to monitor, troubleshoot, and view event
logging
Optional use of SMC’s 2.4GHz/5GHz High Gain Antenna for extended
range and coverage
Enterprise class security features including the new WPA2, up to
152-bit WEP encryption, AES, 802.1x authentication and dynamic
key management, ACLs, up to 1024 MAC address authentication,
and disabled SSID broadcast
The access point implements QoS using the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)
standard. WMM employs techniques that are a subset of the developing
IEEE 802.11e QoS standard.
PoE Reduces installation cost by using standard Cat. 5 cable to
provide power and data to the Access Point
