Preface - ZyXEL Communications ZyAIR G-500 User Manual

Congratulations on your purchase from the ZyAIR G-500 802.11g Wireless Access Point.
An access point (AP) acts as a bridge between the wireless and wired networks, extending your existing
wired network without any additional wiring.
This User's Guide is designed to guide you through the configuration of your ZyAIR using the web
configurator or the SMT.
Use the web configurator, System Management Terminal (SMT) or command
interpreter interface to configure your ZyAIR. Not all features can be configured
The web configurator parts of this guide contain background information on features configurable by the web
configurator and the SMT. The SMT parts of this guide contain background information solely on features
