Wireless LAN Advanced Setup

To configure advanced wireless settings, click the

Advanced Setup

button in the

General

screen. The screen appears as shown.

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).

WPA Group Key

Update Timer

The

WPA Group Key Update Timer

is the rate at which the AP (if using

WPA-

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

WPA Group Key Update Timer

is also

supported in

WPA-PSK

mode. The ZyXEL Device default is

1800

seconds (30

minutes).

Authentication Server

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal

notation.

Port Number

Enter the port number of the external authentication server. The default port

number is

1812

.

You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you

to do so with additional information.

Shared Secret

Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared

between the external authentication server and the ZyXEL Device.

The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your ZyXEL

Device. The key is not sent over the network.

Accounting Server (optional)

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the external accounting server in dotted decimal notation.

Port Number

Enter the port number of the external accounting server. The default port number

is

1813

.

You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you

to do so with additional information.

Shared Secret

Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared

between the external accounting server and the ZyXEL Device.

The key must be the same on the external accounting server and your ZyXEL

Device. The key is not sent over the network.

802.11 Mode

Select

802.11b Only

to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the ZyXEL Device.

Select

802.11g Only

to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the ZyXEL Device.

Select

to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices

to associate with the ZyXEL Device. The transmission rate of your ZyXEL Device

might be reduced.

Enable

802.11g+ mode

Select

Enable 802.11g+ mode

checkbox to allow any ZyXEL WLAN devices that

support this feature to associate with the ZyXEL Device at higher transmission

speeds. This permits the ZyXEL Device to transmit at a higher speed than the

Notes on OTIST

1

If you enable OTIST in a wireless device, you see this screen each time you start the

utility. Click

Yes

to search for an OTIST-enabled AP (in other words, the ZyXEL

Device).

Figure 73

Start OTIST?

2

If an OTIST-enabled wireless device loses its wireless connection for more than ten

seconds, it will search for an OTIST-enabled AP for up to one minute. (If you manually

have the wireless device search for an OTIST-enabled AP, there is no timeout; click

Cancel

in the OTIST progress screen to stop the search.)

3

After the wireless device finds an OTIST-enabled AP, you must click

Start

in the

ZyXEL Device’s

Network > Wireless LAN > OTIST

screen or hold in the

Reset

button

on the ZyXEL Device for one or two seconds to transfer the settings again.

4

If you change the SSID or the keys on the ZyXEL Devices after using OTIST, you need

to run OTIST again or enter them manually in the wireless device(s).

5

If you configure OTIST to generate a WPA-PSK key, this key changes each time you run

OTIST. Therefore, if a new wireless device joins your wireless network, you need to run

OTIST on the AP and ALL wireless devices again.
