PassPhrase
Enter a Passphrase (up to 26 printable characters) and click
Generate
.
A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is
further converted by the NBG-419N into a complicated string that
is referred to as the “key”. This key is requested from all devices
wishing to connect to a wireless network.
WEP
Encryption
Select
64-bit WEP
or
128-bit WEP
.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.
Authentication
Method
Select
Auto
or
Shared Key
from the drop-down list box.
This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP key to login
to the wireless client. Keep this setting at
Auto
unless you want to force a key
verification before communication between the wireless client and the ZyXEL Device
occurs.
Select
Shared Key
to force the clients to provide the WEP key prior to
communication.
ASCII
Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as WEP key.

Hex
Select this option in order to enter hexadecimal characters as a WEP key.
The preceding "0x", that identifies a hexadecimal key, is entered automatically.
Key 1 to Key 4
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the NBG-419N and the wireless
stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose
64-bit WEP
, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose
128-bit WEP
, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure at least one key, only one key can be activated at any one time.
The default key is key 1.

Mode
Select

Select
Power Saving Mode
if you want the NBG-419N to go to sleep when no
wireless connection is needed for a period of time. This means the NBG-419N
consumes less electrical power.
RTS Threshold
This is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent in a wireless network
before the AP fragments the packet into smaller data frames.
Fragment
Threshold
This value controls how often wireless clients must get permission to send
information to the AP. The lower the value, the more often the wireless clients must
get permission. If this value is greater than the fragmentation threshold value, then
wireless clients never have to get permission to send information to the AP.

Tutorials
10.1
Overview
This chapter provides tutorials for your NBG-419N as follows:
•
Connecting to the Internet from an Access Point
•
Configuring Wireless Security Using WPS
•
Enabling and Configuring Wireless Security (No WPS)
10.2
Connecting to the Internet from an Access Point
This section gives you an example of how to set up an access point (
AP
) and wireless client (a
notebook (
B
), in this example) for wireless communication.
B
can access the Internet through the
access point wirelessly.

10.3
Configuring Wireless Security Using WPS
This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses
the NBG-419N as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook.
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
or PCI card).
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do
both.
•
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
- create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a
button. See
Section 10.3.1 on page 80
.This is the easier method.

•
PIN Configuration
- create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN
(Personal Identification Number) in the NBG-419N’s interface. See
Section 10.3.2 on page 81
.
This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.
10.3.1
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1
Make sure that your NBG-419N is turned on and that it is within range of your computer.
2
Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and
utility in your notebook.
3
In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (
Start
or
WPS
button)
4
Log into NBG-419N’s Web Configurator and press the
Push Button
button in the
Network
>
Wireless Client
>
WPS Station
screen.
Note: Your NBG-419N has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button in
its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use
one or the other.
Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button
within two minutes of pressing the first one.
The NBG-419N sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to
two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the NBG-419N securely.
