Configure Your Notebook

Note: We use the ZyXEL M-302 wireless adapter utility screens as an example for the

wireless client. The screens may vary for different models.

1

The NBG4604 supports IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n wireless

clients. Make sure that your notebook or computer’s wireless adapter supports

one of these standards.

2

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.

3

After you’ve installed the utility, open it. If you cannot see your utility’s icon on

your screen, go to

Start > Programs

and click on your utility in the list of

programs that appears. The utility displays a list of APs within range, as shown in

the example screen below.

5.3

Bandwidth Management for your Network

This section shows you how to configure the bandwidth management feature on

the NBG4604 to limit the bandwidth for specific kinds of outgoing traffic. ZyXEL's

bandwidth management feature allows you to specify bandwidth management

rules based on an application or subnet.

Use the

Management > Bandwidth MGMT > Advanced

screen to configure

bandwidth management for your network.

5.3.1

Configuring Bandwidth Management by Application

For this example, your company’s customer support department wants to

prioritize VoIP, e-mail and MSN Messenger services.

In the

Priority Queue

table, VoIP and e-mail services are already pre-defined.

However, you still need to add MSN Messenger in the list (refer to

Section 5.3.2 on

page 65

).

In the following screen, you set the priorities for VoIP and e-mail.

Figure 39

Tutorial: Priority Queue

Click

Enable

for the

VoIP (SIP)

service and set priority to

High

. Do the same for

E-mail

. For the rest of the applications, click

Enable

if you need these services

and set the priority to

Low

.

Note: You can also leave the

Enable

field blank for the rest of the applications. In

doing so, the NBG4604 does not apply bandwidth management to these

services.

5.3.2

Configuring Bandwidth Management by Custom

Application

Aside from the VOIP and e-mail services, you need to set the priority for MSN

Messenger. To do this, add the service in the

Priority Queue

table of the

Management > Bandwidth MGMT > Advanced

screen.
