The More AP Screen
The ZyXEL Device can broadcast up to four wireless network names at the same
time. This means that users can connect to the ZyXEL Device using different
SSIDs. You can secure the connection on each SSID profile so that wireless clients
connecting to the ZyXEL Device using different SSIDs cannot communicate with
each other.
This screen allows you to enable and configure multiple Basic Service Sets (BSSs)
on the ZyXEL Device.

Group Key
Update Timer
The
Group Key Update Timer
is the rate at which the RADIUS
server
sends a new group key out to all clients.
Encryption
If the security mode is
WPA
, the encryption mode is set to
TKIP
to
enable Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) security on your
wireless network.
If the security mode is
WPA2
and
WPA Compatible
is disabled, the
encryption mode is set to
AES
to enable Advanced Encryption System
(AES) security on your wireless network. AES provides superior
security to TKIP.
If the security mode is
WPA2
and
WPA Compatible
is enabled, the
encryption mode is set to
TKIPAES MIX
to allow the wireless clients
to use either TKIP or AES.

This field displays the name of the wireless profile on the network. When
a wireless client scans for an AP to associate with, this is the name that
is broadcast and seen in the wireless client utility.

The WPS Screen
Use this screen to configure WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) on your ZyXEL Device.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without
having to configure security settings manually. Set up each WPS connection
between two devices. Both devices must support WPS. See
Section 6.7.6.3 on
page 105
for more information about WPS.
Note: The ZyXEL Device applies the security settings of the
SSID1
profile (see
Section 6.2 on page 83
). If you want to use the WPS feature, make sure you
have set the security mode of
SSID1
to
WPA-PSK
,
WPA2-PSK
or
No Security
.
Wireless Network
Name (SSID)
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which
a wireless device is associated. Wireless devices associating to the
access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for
the wireless LAN.
Hide SSID
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame
so a station cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site
survey tool.
BSSID
This shows the MAC address of the wireless interface on the ZyXEL
Device when wireless LAN is enabled.
Security Level
Security Mode
Select
Basic (WEP)
or

want to associate to this network must have same wireless security
settings as the ZyXEL Device. After you select to use a security,
additional options appears in this screen.
Or you can select
No Security
to allow any client to associate this
network without any data encryption or authentication.
