About Wireless LAN Security

Wireless LAN security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless clients
and the wired network.
The figure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your ZyAIR. EAP (Extensible
Authentication Protocol) is used for authentication and utilizes dynamic WEP key exchange. It requires
interaction with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server either on the WAN or
your LAN to provide authentication service for wireless stations.

Figure 6-1 Wireless LAN Security Levels

Configure the wireless LAN security using the Security screen. If you do not enable any wireless security
on your ZyAIR, communication between the ZyAIR and the wired network is accessible to any wireless
networking device that is in the coverage area.
Make sure the security settings are the same on the ZyAIR and the intermediary
AP and/or your network security server device.
