DESCRIPTION
Click the check box to activate wireless LAN.
Note: You can also activate the wireless LAN by pressing the RESET
button for 1 second.
(Service Set IDentity) The SSID identifies the Service Set with which a wireless
station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must
have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII
characters) for the wireless LAN.
Note: If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer
connected to the wireless LAN and you change the ZyXEL
Device's SSID or WEP settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then
change the wireless settings of your computer to match the
ZyXEL Device's new settings.
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
If two wireless networks overlap, they should use a different channel.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific
channel, or frequency, to send and receive information.
Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyXEL Device.
Click Cancel to reload the previous configuration for this screen.
Click Advanced Setup to display the Wireless Advanced Setup screen and edit
more details of your WLAN setup.
