DESCRIPTION
Click the check box to activate wireless LAN.
Set the operating channel manually by selecting a channel from the Channel Selection
list or use Auto Channel Select to have it automatically configured.
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device is
associated. Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same
SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the wireless
LAN.
Note: If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer connected to the wireless
LAN and you change the ZyXEL Device's SSID or WEP settings, you will lose your
wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the
wireless settings of your computer to match the ZyXEL Device's new settings.
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot
obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
See the following sections for more details about this field.
This shows whether the wireless devices with the MAC addresses listed are allowed or
denied to access the ZyXEL Device using this SSID.
