Page 57: Wan, Lan And Server Setup
4.3 IP Address Assignment A static IP is a fixed IP that the ZyXEL Device obtains from a DHCP server on a network. A dynamic IP is not fixed; the DHCP server provides an IP address to the ZyXEL Device each time it connects to the network.
Page 58: Ip Address And Subnet Mask
G-4100 v2 User’s Guide 4.4.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask Like houses on a street that share a common street name, the computers on a LAN share one common network number. 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.
Page 59: Dns Server Address
By implementing PPPoE directly on the ZyXEL Device (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the ZyXEL Device does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.

Page 71: Chapter 6 Radius
This system is the client and the server is the external RADIUS server. RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which the ZyXEL Device acts as a message relay between the subscribers and the RADIUS server to establish a connection. When you enable RADIUS authentication, the ZyXEL Device uses RADIUS protocol (RFC 2865, 2866) to send subscriber authentication information to the external RADIUS server.

This wired connection between APs is called a Distribution System (DS). An ESSID (ESS IDentification) uniquely identifies each ESS.
Page 175: Wireless Standards
G-4100 v2 User’s Guide 23.2.1 Wireless Standards The ZyXEL Device complies with the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard and is also fully compatible with the 802.11b standard. This means an IEEE 802.11b radio card can interface directly with an IEEE 802.11g device (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on range.
Page 176: Introduction To Wpa
WPA and WEP are user authentication and improved data encryption. WPA applies IEEE 802.1x and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless clients using an external RADIUS database. You cannot use the ZyXEL Device’s built-in authentication for WPA authentication purposes since the built-in authentication uses EAP- MD5, which cannot be used to generate keys.

Page 255: Indoor Installation Recommendations
G-4100 v2 User’s Guide Appendix D Indoor Installation Recommendations An antenna couples RF signals onto air. 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 256 G-4100 v2 User’s Guide • Omni-directional antennas send the RF signal out in all directions on a horizontal plane. The coverage area is torus-shaped (like a donut) which makes these antennas ideal for a room environment. With a wide coverage area, it is possible to make circular overlapping coverage areas with multiple access points.
Page 257: Appendix E Wireless Lans
G-4100 v2 User’s Guide Appendix E Wireless LANs Wireless LAN Topologies This section discusses ad-hoc and infrastructure wireless LAN topologies. Ad-hoc Wireless LAN Configuration The simplest WLAN configuration is an independent (Ad-hoc) WLAN that connects a set of computers with wireless stations (A, B, C). Any time two or more wireless adapters are within range of each other, they can set up an independent network, which is commonly referred to as an Ad-hoc network or Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).
Page 258: Figure 156 Basic Service Set
G-4100 v2 User’s Guide Figure 156 Basic Service Set An Extended Service Set (ESS) consists of a series of overlapping BSSs, each containing an access point, with each access point connected together by a wired network. This wired connection between APs is called a Distribution System (DS).
Page 259: Figure 157 Infrastructure Wlan
G-4100 v2 User’s Guide Figure 157 Infrastructure WLAN Channel A channel is the radio frequency(ies) used by IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless devices. Channels available depend on your geographical area. You may have a choice of channels (for your region) so you should use a different channel than an adjacent AP (access point) to reduce interference.
Page 260: Figure 158 Rts/Cts
G-4100 v2 User’s Guide Figure 158 RTS/CTS When station A sends data to the AP, it might not know that the station B is already using the channel. If these two stations send data at the same time, collisions may occur when both sets of data arrive at the AP at the same time, resulting in a loss of messages for both stations.
Page 261: Table 73 Ieee 802.11G
G-4100 v2 User’s Guide A large Fragmentation Threshold is recommended for networks not prone to interference while you should set a smaller threshold for busy networks or networks that are prone to interference. If the Fragmentation Threshold value is smaller than the RTS/CTS value (see previously) you set then the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before they reach RTS/CTS size.

Page 264: Dynamic Wep Key Exchange
G-4100 v2 User’s Guide EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security) With EAP-TLS, digital certifications are needed by both the server and the wireless stations for mutual authentication. The server presents a certificate to the client. After validating the identity of the server, the client sends a different certificate to the server. The exchange of certificates is done in the open before a secured tunnel is created.
Page 265: Table 74 Comparison Of Eap Authentication Types
G-4100 v2 User’s Guide For added security, certificate-based authentications (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP) use dynamic keys for data encryption. They are often deployed in corporate environments, but for public deployment, a simple user name and password pair is more practical. The following table is a comparison of the features of authentication types.

A subnet mask has 32 bits. If a bit in the subnet mask is a “1” then the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the network number.
