LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Active Wireless
LAN
Click the check box to activate wireless LAN.
Network
Name(SSID)
(Service Set IDentity) The SSID identifies the Service Set with which a wireless
station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must
have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII
characters) for the wireless LAN.
Note:
If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer
connected to the wireless LAN and you change the ZyXEL
Device’s SSID or WEP settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then
change the wireless settings of your computer to match the
ZyXEL Device’s new settings.
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.
Channel
Selection
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.
Select a channel from the drop-down list box.

LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Security Mode
Choose
Static WEP
from the drop-down list box.
Passphrase
Enter a Passphrase (up to 32 printable characters) and clicking
Generate
. The ZyXEL
Device automatically generates a WEP key.
WEP Key
The WEP key is used to encrypt data. Both the ZyXEL Device and the wireless
stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you want to manually set the WEP key, enter any 5, 13 or 29 characters (ASCII
string) or 10, 26 or 58 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for a 64-bit, 128-bit or
256-bit WEP key respectively.

Wireless: WPA(2)-PSK
LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Security Mode
Choose
WPA-PSK
or
WPA2-PSK
from the drop-down list box.
WPA Compatible
This field is only available for WPA2-PSK. Select this if you want the ZyXEL Device
to support WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK simultaneously.
Pre-Shared Key
The encryption mechanisms used for
WPA(2)
and
WPA(2)-PSK
are the same.
The only difference between the two is that
WPA(2)-PSK
uses a simple common
password, instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including
spaces and symbols).
ReAuthentication
Timer (in seconds)
Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords in
order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The
default time interval is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
Note:
If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS
server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has
priority.
Idle Timeout
The ZyXEL Device automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired
network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the
username and password again before access to the wired network is allowed. The
default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).
Group Key Update
Timer
The
Group Key Update Timer
is the rate at which the AP (if using
WPA(2)-PSK
key management) or
RADIUS
server (if using WPA key management) sends a
new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of
automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a
periodic basis. Setting of the
Group Key Update Timer
is also supported in
WPA-
PSK
mode. The ZyXEL Device default is
1800
seconds (30 minutes).
