LABEL
Frag. The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
Threshold messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value
between 256 and 2432.
WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent unauthorized
wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network.
Select Disable to allow wireless clients to communicate with the access points
without any data encryption.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.
Although WEP is functional at 5.5 and 11 Mbps, there is significant performance
degradation when using WEP at these rates.
Key 1 to If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5
Key 4 characters (ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by
0x for each key.
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 characters
(ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for
each key.
There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by
unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the
same on the access points as they are on the wireless client computers.

5.5 Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication

You can set the ZyWALL and your network to authenticate a wireless client before the wireless
client can communicate with the ZyWALL and the wired network to which the ZyWALL is
connected. Your ZyWALL supports the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
802.1x standard that works with IEEE 802.11 to enhance user authentication.
To change your ZyWALL's Authentication settings, click WIRELESS LAN, then the 802.1X tab.
The screen appears as shown.
