3.5 Whatis Z o n e 
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.ByassociatingitwithauniqueESSIDofa
Zone,wirelessnetwork is divided intodifferent logicalzones.Clientsattemptingto accessthe resourceswithin a Zone will be
controlled based on the access control profile of that Zone, such as authentication, security features, wireless encryption
methods,trafficcontrol,etc.
Thereare two Zonesthat canbe utilizedbythe MiMo Hot Spot Access Point Wi‐Fi RayTalk RA‐696– PrivateZone and Pub
lic
Zone,asshowninthe table below.PrivateZonemeans clientsare notrequiredto beauthenticatedbef oreusingthenetwork
service.However,clientsinPublicZonearerequiredtoobtainauthenticationbeforeusingtheservice.



 AppliedPolicy:CurrentPolicythatisappliedtoZone.

 DefaultAuthenOption:Defaultauthenticationmethod/serverthatisusedwithintheZone.


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.
