LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Enable
Wireless LAN
The wireless LAN is turned off by default, before you enable the wireless LAN you
should configure some security by setting MAC filters and/or 802.1x security;
otherwise your wireless LAN will be vulnerable upon enabling it. Select the check box
to enable the wireless LAN.
Wireless Card This field displays whether or not a compatible ZyXEL wireless LAN card is installed.
You can only use the wireless LAN feature if a compatible ZyXEL wireless LAN card is
installed.
Note:
Turn the ZyWALL off before you install or remove the wireless
LAN card. See the product specifications appendix for a table of
compatible ZyXEL WLAN cards (and the WLAN security
features each card supports) and how to install a WLAN card.
ESSID
(Extended Service Set IDentity) The ESSID identifies the Service Set with which a
wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP)
must have the same ESSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII
characters) for the wireless LAN.
Hide ESSID
Select to hide the ESSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot obtain the
ESSID through passive scanning.
Channel ID
This allows you to set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular
region. Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
RTS/CTS
Threshold
The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) is for enabling RTS/CTS.
Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake.
Setting this value to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size
turns off RTS/CTS. Setting this value to zero turns on RTS/CTS.
Select the check box to change the default value and enter a new value between
0
and
2432
.
