ZyXEL Communications 652H/HW 5.2 Wireless LAN Security Setup

	Prestige 652H/HW
	Table 3 Wireless LAN: Wireless
LABEL	DESCRIPTION
RTS/CTS	Select this option to enable the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear To Send) threshold to
Threshold	minimize collisions. Enter a value between 0 and 2432. The default is 2432.
	Request To Send is the threshold (number of bytes) for enabling the RTS/CTS handshake. Data
	with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this
	attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC Service Data Unit) size turns off the
	RTS/CTS handshake.
Fragmentation	Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.
Threshold
WEP	WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting them over the
Encryption	wireless network.
	Select Disable allows all wireless computers to communicate with the access points without any
	data encryption.
	Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP and then configure the keys in the fields provided to activate
	data encryption.
Key 1 to Key 4	The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the Prestige and the wireless clients must use the
	same WEP key for data transmission.
	If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 characters (ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal
	characters ("0-9", "A-F").
	If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 characters (ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters
	("0-9", "A-F").
	Select only one key to be activated at any one time.

The wireless clients and Prestige must use the same ESSID, channel ID and

WEP encryption key (if WEP is enabled) for wireless communication.

5.2 Wireless LAN Security Setup

For added security, set your Prestige to check the MAC address of the wireless client device against a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses.

To set up the MAC address list for wireless LAN, click Advanced Setup in the navigation panel, Wireless and then click the MAC Filter link.
