Configure Your Notebook
Note: In this example, we use the ZyXEL NWD6505 wireless adapter as the wireless
client and use the Windows built-in utility (Windows Zero Configuration (WZC)) to
connect to the wireless netwok.

The EMG2926-Q10A supports IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n and IEEE
802.11ac wireless clients. Make sure that your notebook or computer’s wireless adapter supports
one of these standards.

Wireless adapters come with software sometimes called a “utility” that you install on your
computer. See your wireless adapter’s User’s Guide for information on how to do that.

If the wireless client keeps trying to connect to or acquiring an IP address from the EMG2926-
Q10A, make sure you entered the correct security key.
If the connection has limited or no connectivity, make sure the DHCP server is enabled on the
EMG2926-Q10A.
If your connection is successful, open your Internet browser and enter
or the
URL of any other web site in the address bar. If you are able to access the web site, your wireless
connection is successfully configured.

Using Multiple SSIDs on the EMG2926-Q10A
You can configure more than one SSID on a EMG2926-Q10A. See
Section 9.4 on page 79
.
This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the EMG2926-Q10A as if
there were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID, wireless security type and
MAC filtering settings. That is, each SSID on the EMG2926-Q10A represents a different access
point/wireless network to wireless clients in the network.
Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients
using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the EMG2926-Q10A
(such as a printer).
