LABEL DESCRIPTION
Key 1 to Key
4
If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 characters
(ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key.
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 characters
(ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key.
There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by
unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the same
on the access points as they are on the wireless stations.
The preceding “0x” is entered automatically. You must configure all four keys, but only
one key can be activated at any one time. The default key is key 1.
Enable Intra-
BSS Traffic
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS. Select this check
box to enable Intra-BSS traffic. If two wireless stations connect to the Internet via the
ZyAIR, then when Intra-BSS is enabled, both can access the wired network and
communicate with each other. When Intra-BSS is disabled, both can still access the
wired network but cannot communicate with each other.
Enable
Breathing
LED
Select this check box to enable the Breathing LED, also known as the ZyAIR LED.
The blue ZyAIR LED is on (dimmed) when the ZyAIR is on and blinks brightly (or
breaths) when data is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. Clear the check
box to turn this LED off even when the ZyAIR is on and data is being
transmitted/received.
Number of
Wireless
Stations
Allowed
Use this field to set a maximum number of wireless stations that may connect to the
ZyAIR.
Enter the number (from 1 to 32) of wireless stations allowed.
Output Power Set the output power of the ZyAIR in this field. If there is a high density of APs within an
area, decrease the output power of the ZyAIR to reduce interference from other APs.
The options are 11dBm (50mW), 13dBm (32mW), 15dBm (20mW) or 17dBm
(12.6mW).
Multiple ESS
The ZyAIR’s Multiple ESS (Multi-ESS) function allows multiple ESSs to be configured on just one access
point (the ZyAIR).
Wireless stations can use different ESSIDs to associate with the same AP. Only wireless stations with the
same ESSID can communicate with each other. This allows the AP to logically group wireless stations in a
manner similar to VLAN (Virtual LAN).
