Table 4-8 Quick Setup Wireless
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Channel The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b wireless devices is called a
channel.
Domain Select the user domain based on your geographical location.
RTS
Threshold
Enter a value between 0 and 250. See section 4.4.3 for more information.
Fragmentation
Threshold
Enter a value between 256 and 2346. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be
sent.
ESSID (Extended Service Set Identity) The ESSID identifies the Service Set with which a
wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP)
must have the same ESSID. Enter a descriptive name in hexadecimals 0 ~ 9 and A ~F
for the wireless LAN.
If you are configuring the ZyAIR from a computer connected to
the wireless LAN and you change the ZyAIR’s ESSID or WEP
settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click
FINISH. You must then change the wireless settings of your
computer to match the ZyAIR’s new settings.
Hide ESSID Select this check box to hide the ESSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the ESSID through passive scanning using a site survey tool.
Deny ‘any’ You can set the ZyAIR to block access for wireless LAN clients that have the ESSID set
to “any”.
Station Name
Type a name to identify the ZyAIR in hexadecimal characters 1 ~ 9, A ~ F.
WEP Key Specify a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared between
the external accounting server and the access points.
The key is not sent over the network. This key must be the same on the external
accounting server and the ZyAIR.
WEP
Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without
any data encryption (default).
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption. WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless network.
