    When the ZyXEL Utility system tray icon displays, the G-162 is installed properly. Figure 1-1 ZyXEL Utility: System Tray Icon The color of the ZyXEL Utility system tray icon indicates the status of the G-162. Refer to the following table for details.

  • Page 17: Chapter 2 Wireless Lan Network

    2.1.3 Transmission Rate (Transfer Rate) The G-162 provides various transmission (data) rate options for you to select. Options include Fully Auto, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 22 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, 54 Mbps and 125 Mbps.

  • Page 18: Figure 2-1 Ibss Example

    ZyXEL G-162 User’s Guide To connect to a wired network within a coverage area using Access Points (APs), set the G-162 operation mode to Infrastructure (BSS). An AP acts as a bridge between the wireless stations and the wired network. In case you do not wish to connect to a wired network, but prefer to set up a small independent wireless workgroup without an AP, use the Ad-hoc (IBSS) (Independent Basic Service Set) mode.

    AP depending on the signal strength, network utilization or other factors. The following figure depicts a roaming example. When wireless station B moves to position X, the G-162 in wireless station B automatically switches the channel to the one used by access point 2 in order to stay connected to the network.

  • Page 20: Wireless Lan Security

    Wireless LAN security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless stations and the wired network. The figure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your G-162. 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.

Your G-162 allows you to configure up to four 64-bit, 128-bit or 256-bit WEP keys and only one key is used as the default key at any one time. 2.2.2 IEEE 802.1x The IEEE 802.1x standard outlines enhanced security methods for both the authentication of wireless...

  • Page 22: Wpa-Psk Application Example

    ZyXEL G-162 User’s Guide User Authentication WPA applies IEEE 802.1x and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless clients using an external RADIUS database. Therefore, if you don’t have an external RADIUS server, you should use WPA-PSK (WPA -Pre-Shared Key) that only requires a single (identical) password entered into each access point, wireless gateway and wireless client.

  • Page 24: Fragmentation Threshold

    A Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fragment size (between 256 and 2432 bytes) that can be sent in the wireless network before the G-162 will fragment the packet into smaller data frames. 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.

  • Page 25: Authentication Type

    ZyXEL G-162 User’s Guide Figure 2-8 RTS Threshold 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 26: Otist (One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology)

    ZyXEL G-162 User’s Guide Open authentication mode is implemented for ease-of-use and when security is not an issue. The wireless station and the AP do not share a secret key. Thus the wireless stations can associate with any AP and listen to any data transmitted plaintext.

They are often deployed in corporate environments, but for public deployment, a simple user name and password pair is more practical.
