Configuring Zones - NetComm HS1200N User Manual

Configuring Zones

To configure a Zone, go to: System >> Service Zones.
A Zone is a logical network area that covers wired or wireless networks, or both of them. The zones effectively separate the gateway
into two distinct networks which are controlled through the use of authentication, security features, wireless encryption methods
and traffic control.
The two zones on the gateway are Private Zone and Public Zone, as shown in the table below. Private Zone means clients are not
required to be authenticated before using the network service while clients in Public Zone are required to obtain authentication
before using the service.
Service Zone Name: Name of the Zone.
Applied Policy: Current policy that is applied to the Zone.
Default Authen Option: Default authentication method/server that is used within the Zone.
IP/IPv6 address: Shows the LAN IP address. IPv6 is support and can be configured from the IPv6 tab.
Network Alias: Shows the IP address that bridges to different subnets configured in the Network Alias List.
DHCP Pool: Shows the range of LAN IP address which clients are assigned to get from DHCP.
LAN Port Mapping: Each physical LAN port can be set individually to map to a specific zone, and can be configured
from the LAN Port Mapping tab (refer to 3.5.1).
Status: Shows the Private/Public Zone mappings to the physical LAN ports.
Details: Configurable, detailed settings for each Zone.
Click the Configure button to configure each Zone: Basic Settings, Authentication Settings, Wireless Settings, and WDS Settings
(Public Zone only).
