ZyAIR B-2000 Wireless LAN Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering

MAC Address Filtering together with ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentifier), WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and IEEE 802.1x to ensure wireless network security.

IEEE 802.1x for Network Security

Your ZyAIR supports the IEEE 802.1x standard that works with the IEEE 802.11 to enhance user authentication. With the local user profile, the ZyAIR allows you to configure up 32 user profiles without a network authentication server. In addition, centralized user and accounting management is possible on an optional network authentication server.

EAP (RFC2284)

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) supports multiple authentication methods to ensure the highest security level available.

RADIUS (RFC2138, 2139)

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server enables authentication, authorization and accounting for your wireless network.

PPPoE Support (RFC2516)

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your ISP to use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the ZyAIR is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE clients on individual computers.

PPTP Support

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a TCP/IP-based network. PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet. Use PPTP to connect to a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed data networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.

NAT for Single-IP-address Internet Access

The ZyAIR's SUA (Single User Account) feature allows multiple-user Internet access for the cost of a single IP account. NAT supports popular Internet applications such as MS traceroute, CuSeeMe, IRC, RealPlayer, VDOLive, Quake, and PPTP. No configuration is needed to support these applications.

Dynamic DNS Support

With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS client.
