CHAPTER 10
WLAN
This chapter discusses how to configure a local wireless LAN on the ZyWALL.
10.1 Wireless LAN Introduction
A wireless LAN can be as simple as two computers with wireless LAN adapters
communicating in a peer-to-peer network or as complex as a number of computers with
wireless LAN adapters communicating through access points which bridge network traffic to
the wired LAN. To add a wireless network to the ZyWALL, you can either install a WLAN
card or connect an Access Point (AP) to a port in the WLAN role.
" See Section 54.2 on page 761 for how to install a WLAN card.
See the WLAN appendix for more detailed information on WLANs.
10.1.1 Additional Installation Requirements for Using 802.1x
• A computer with an IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN card.
• A computer equipped with a web browser (with JavaScript enabled) and/or Telnet.
• A wireless station must be running IEEE 802.1x-compliant software. Currently, this is
offered in Windows XP.
• An optional network RADIUS server for remote user authentication and accounting.
10.2 Configuring WLAN
Do one of the following to add a local wireless LAN to the ZyWALL. See Section 8.13 on
page 189 if you need to configure a 3G connection (a 3G connection is for Internet access
instead of providing a local wireless LAN).
