10/100M Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface

This auto-negotiating feature allows the ZyAIR to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.

10/100M Auto-crossover Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface

The LAN interface automatically adjusts to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.

Reset Button

The ZyAIR reset button is built into the top panel. Use this button to restore the factory default password to 1234; IP address to 192.168.1.2, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

Brute-Force Password Guessing Protection

The ZyAIR has a special protection mechanism to discourage brute-force password guessing attacks on the ZyAIR's management interfaces. You can specify a wait-time that must expire before entering a fourth password after three incorrect passwords have been entered. Please see the appendix for details about this feature.

ZyAIR LED

The blue ZyAIR LED (also known as the Breathing LED) is on when the ZyAIR is on and blinks (or breaths) when data is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. You may use the web configurator to turn this LED off even when the ZyAIR is on and data is being transmitted/received.
