Pre-authentication enables fast roaming by allowing the wireless client already connecting to an AP to perform IEEE Page Wireless Client Wpa Supplicants 2 The AP checks each wireless client's password and only allows it to join the network if the password matches. A transmitter within a wireless device sends an RF signal to the antenna, which propagates the signal through the air. The antenna also operates in reverse by capturing RF signals from the air.
Page Antenna Characteristics In general, antennas should be mounted as high as practically possible and free of obstructions. In point-to—point application, position both antennas at the same height and in a direct line of sight to each other to attain the best performance. Page For a single AP application, place omni-directional antennas as close to the center of the coverage area as possible. For directional antennas, point the antenna in the direction of the desired coverage area. Miller St.

If your networks are isolated from the Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts without problems. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks.
On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses. Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation.
If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask. If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established.
The Internet Assigned Number Authority IANA reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select In other words, the first three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual computer on that network. Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance, The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address.
Your device will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don't need to change the subnet mask computed by the device unless you are instructed to do otherwise. When you select address this option, fill in the fields below.

See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks. The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B use the access point AP to interact with the other devices such as the printer or with the Internet.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity. Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information.
Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. In addition, you should change the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess. This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized wireless devices to get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized wireless devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network.
If a device is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the correct information SSID, channel, and security. If a device is not allowed to use the wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct information. This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless devices to get the MAC address of an authorized device.
Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network. You can make every user log in to the wireless network before they can use it. However, every device in the wireless network has to support IEEE This is a server used in businesses more than in homes. Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks. These kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses. Unauthorized wireless devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network, even if they cannot use the wireless network.
Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless users to get a valid user name and password. Then, they can use that user name and password to use the wireless network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the message. The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of authentication.
See Section 7. Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every device in the wireless network supports. Therefore, there is no authentication. Suppose the wireless network has two devices. Therefore, you should set up Static WEP in the wireless network. The other types of encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for unauthorized wireless devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly.
Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every device in the wireless network must have the same key.
As a result, you do not have to set up the SSID and encryption on every device in the wireless network. QoS gives high priority to voice and video, which makes them run more smoothly.
Similarly, it gives low priority to many large file downloads so that they do not reduce the quality of other applications. You might disable this kind of communication to enhance security within your wireless network. This may cause them to send information to the AP at the same time and result in information colliding and not getting through. By setting this value lower than the default value, the wireless devices must sometimes get permission to send information to the ZyXEL Device.
The lower the value, the more often the devices must get permission. If this value is greater than the fragmentation threshold value see below , then wireless devices never have to get permission to send information to the ZyXEL Device.
Preamble A preamble affects the timing in your wireless network. There are two preamble modes: long and short. Authentication The process of verifying whether a wireless device is allowed to use the wireless network.
Roaming If you have two or more ZyXEL Devices or other wireless access points on your wireless network, you can enable this option so that wireless devices can change locations without having to log in again. This is useful for devices, such as notebooks, that move around a lot. It controls WLAN transmission priority on packets to be transmitted over the wireless network. WMM QoS prioritizes wireless traffic according to delivery requirements. If the introduction of another traffic stream creates a data transmission demand that exceeds the current network capacity, then the new traffic stream reduces the throughput of the other traffic streams.
This prevents reductions in data transmission for applications that are sensitive to latency delay and jitter variations in delay. Use best effort priority for traffic that is less sensitive to latency, but is affected by long delays, such as Internet surfing. Use background priority for applications that do not have strict latency and throughput requirements. The screen varies depending upon the operation mode you select.

Turn off the wireless adapter to stop wireless communications between the device and other IEEE If there is a high density of APs Management within an area, decrease the output power of the device to reduce interference with other APs. Data Rate Use this field to select a maximum data rate for the wireless connection s. Preamble Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver.
Type Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means more time for sending data. All IEEE Select Long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless adapters support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless networks.
Select Dynamic to have the device automatically use short preamble when all wireless clients support it, otherwise the device uses long preamble.
The other device must also support super-G mode in order for the device to use it for the wireless connection. The other device must also support turbo-G mode in order for the device to use it for the wireless connection. Turbo-G uses two channels bonded together in order to achieve its higher transmission rates. This may cause interference with other APs in the area. The Channel field is automatically fixed at 6 when you use turbo-G mode.

It allows or denies wireless client access. The MAC filter does not apply to bridge or repeater functions. The following applies if you set the device to client mode and want to connect to an AP that uses a MAC filter. After the device turns on in client mode, it clones the MAC address of the first packets that it receives from devices connected to the Ethernet port.
All of the packets that the device sends to an AP will appear to be from the first device that connected to the Ethernet port. If you turn the device off and back on, it again clones the MAC address of the first packets that it receives from devices connected to the Ethernet port. You may be able to check the association list on the AP to determine which MAC address the device is currently using. The screen appears as shown. This would lock you out.
