Fig ure 2 Repeater Application
When the Zyxel Device is in Repeater mode, repeater security between the Zyxel Device and other
repeater is independent of the security between the wireless clients and the AP or repeater. When
repeater security is enabled, both APs and repeaters must use the same pre-shared key. See
Section
10.2 on page 76 and Section 14.2 on page 120 for more details.
For NCC managed devices, you only need to enable AP Sma rt Me sh to automatically create wireless
links between APs. See the NCC User’s Guide for more details.
To set up a WDS in standalone mode APs, do the following steps. You should already have the root AP
set up (see the Quick Start Guide for hardware connections).
1 Go to C o nfig ura tion > O bje c t > WDS Pro file in your root AP Web Configurator and click Add.
2 Enter a profile name, an SSID for the WDS, and a pre-shared key.
3 Do steps 1 and 2 for the wireless repeater using the same SSID and pre-shared key.
4 Once the security settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between the root and
repeater Zyxel Devices is made.
To set up a WDS in NXC managed Zyxel Devices, see the NXC User’s Guide.
1.2.3 Ra dio Fre que nc y (RF) Mo nito r
The Zyxel Device can be set to work as an RF monitor to discover nearby Access Points. The information
it obtains from other APs is used to tag possible rogue APs and quarantine them if the Zyxel Device is
managed by the NXC (see
Section 2.2 on page 22). If the Zyxel Device’s radio setting is set to MO N
Mo de (RF Monitor mode), it will serve as a dedicated RF monitor and its AP clients are disconnected.
