DESCRIPTION
Select Yes to activate wireless LAN.
Enter the name of the wireless network. The name is called the Extended
Service Set IDentity (ESSID). Every wireless client in the same wireless
network must use the same ESSID.
Note: If you are using the wireless network to connect to the
ZyXEL Device from a computer and you change this
setting, you will lose your wireless connection when you
press [ENTER] to confirm. You must change the wireless
settings of your computer to match the ZyXEL Device's
new settings.
Select this check box to hide the ESSID so a station cannot get the ESSID
through scanning using a site survey tool.
Set the operating frequency or channel your wireless network uses. It should
be at least five channels away from other wireless networks in the area.
Select the type of key you want to use.
Disable - the wireless network does not use any encryption.
64-bit WEP - the wireless network uses a 64-bit WEP key.
128-bit WEP - the wireless network uses a 128-bit WEP key.
A 128-bit WEP key is more secure than a 64-bit WEP key.
You can enter the key using printable ASCII characters or hexadecimal (0-9, A-
F, a-f) characters. The ZyXEL Device and the wireless stations must use the
same WEP key.
If you selected a 64-bit WEP key, enter 5 printable ASCII characters or 10
hexadecimal characters.
If you selected a 128-bit WEP key, enter 13 printable ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal characters.
If you want to block or allow other devices to access the ZyXEL Device., press
[SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press [ENTER]. Menu 3.5.1 appears.
