DESCRIPTION
Select whether you will let wireless clients connect to the ZyWALL using
IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, or both.
Select b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the ZyWALL.
Select g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the ZyWALL.
Select b+g to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the ZyWALL. The transmission rate of your
ZyWALL might be reduced.
This allows you to set the operating channel depending on your particular
region. Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
Select this to improve data throughput on the WLAN by enabling fast
frame and packet bursting.
Use CTS/RTS to reduce data collisions on the wireless network if you have
wireless clients that are associated with the same AP but out of range of
one another. When enabled, a wireless client sends an RTS (Request To
Send) and then waits for a CTS (Clear To Send) before it transmits. This
stops wireless clients from transmitting packets at the same time (and
causing data collisions).
A wireless client sends an RTS for all packets larger than the number (of
bytes) that you enter here. Set the RTS/CTS equal to or higher than the
fragmentation threshold to turn RTS/CTS off.
This is the threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary
for directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be
sent.
Set the output power of the ZyWALL in this field. If there is a high density
of APs in the area, decrease the output power of the ZyWALL to reduce
interference with other APs. Select one of the following 100%, 50%,
25%, 12.5% or Minimum. See the product specifications for more
information on your ZyWALL's output power.
This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with any interface.
This field displays the name of the WLAN interface.
This is the SSID (Service Set IDentity) of the WLAN interface.
This field displays the current IP address of the WLAN interface. If the IP
address is 0.0.0.0, the interface does not have an IP address yet.
This screen also shows whether the IP address is a static IP address
(STATIC) or dynamically assigned (DHCP). IP addresses are always
static in virtual interfaces.
This field displays the interface's subnet mask in dot decimal notation.
This field displays what type of security the WLAN interface uses.
