The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the ZyXEL Device and the

wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.

Enter any 5 or 13 ASCII characters, or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters

("0-9", "A-F") for a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key respectively.

WAN Setup

6.1

Overview

This chapter describes how to configure WAN settings from the

WAN

screens. Use

these screens to configure your ZyXEL Device for Internet access.

A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another

network or the Internet. It connects your private networks (such as a LAN (Local

Area Network) and other networks, so that a computer in one location can

communicate with computers in other locations.

LAN and WAN

6.1.1

What You Can Do in the WAN Screens

•

Use the

Internet Access Setup

screen (

Section 6.2 on page 75

) to configure

the WAN settings on the ZyXEL Device for Internet access.

•

Use the

More Connections

screen (

Section 6.3 on page 79

) to set up

additional Internet access connections.

6.1.2

What You Need to Know About WAN

Encapsulation Method

Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower

layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the

same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your

ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) or PPPoA,

they should also provide a username and password (and service name) for user

authentication.

WAN IP Address

The WAN IP address is an IP address for the ZyXEL Device, which makes it

accessible from an outside network. It is used by the ZyXEL Device to

communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or

dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the ZyXEL Device tries to access the

Internet.

If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the

subnet mask and DNS server IP address(es) (and a gateway IP address if you use

the Ethernet or ENET ENCAP encapsulation method).

Multicast

Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1

sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network).

Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody

and not just one.

IGMP

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to

establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data.

There are three versions of IGMP. IGMP version 2 and 3 are improvements over

version 1, but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use.

Finding Out More

See

Section 6.4 on page 83

for technical background information on WAN.

6.1.3

Before You Begin

You need to know your Internet access settings such as encapsulation and WAN IP

address. Get this information from your ISP.
