DESCRIPTIONS
Select this to enable Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) security
on your WDS. This option is compatible with other ZyXEL access
points that support WDS security. Use this if the other access points
on your network support WDS security but do not have an AES
option.
Note: Check your other AP's documentation to make sure it
supports WDS security.
Select this to enable Advanced Encryption System (AES) security on
your WDS. AES provides superior security to TKIP. Use AES if the
other access points on your network support it for the WDS.
This is the index number of the bridge connection.
Select the check box to enable the bridge connection. Otherwise,
clear the check box to disable it.
Type the MAC address of the peer device in a valid MAC address
format, that is, six hexadecimal character pairs, for example,
12:34:56:78:9a:bc.
Type a pre-shared key (PSK) from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII
characters (including spaces and symbols). You must also set the
peer device to use the same pre-shared key. Each peer device can
use a different pre-shared key.
(For NWA-3160 and NWA-3163 only)
Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple
antennas to reduce signal interference.
(R)STP (Section 8.3.1 on page
loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or
routers. It allows a bridge to interact with other (R)STP -compliant
bridges in your network to ensure that only one path exists between
any two stations on the network. Select the check box to activate
STP on the NWA.
