Radio Screen - ZyXEL Communications SBG3500-N000 User Manual

• Layer-2 Isolation - This profile prevents connected devices from communicating with each
other in the SBG3500-N Series local network. It checks only the wirless traffic that goes through
the SBG3500-N Series interfaces, including the virtual interfaces and the bridge interface
between the 2.4 and 5 GHz WLAN. You can have a maximum of 16 layer-2 isolation profiles on
the SBG3500-N Series.
SSID
The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) is the name that identifies the Service Set with which a wireless
station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the same
SSID. In other words, it is the name of the wireless network that clients use to connect to it.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption scrambles all data packets transmitted between the AP
and the wireless stations associated with it in order to keep network communications private. Both
the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key for data encryption and
decryption.
WPA and WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a
wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management
than WPA. Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are improved data encryption and user
authentication.
IEEE 802.1x
The IEEE 802.1x standard outlines enhanced security methods for both the authentication of
wireless stations and encryption key management. Authentication is done using an external
RADIUS server.

14.2 Radio Screen

This screen allows you to create radio profiles for the APs on your network. A radio profile is a list of
settings that a supported managed AP (SBG3500-N Series for example) can use to configure either
one of its two radio transmitters. To access this screen click Network Setting > AP Profile >
Radio.
Note: You can have a maximum of 24 radio profiles on the SBG3500-N Series.
