Adapter

This chapter discusses OTIST and how to configure the Adapter screen.

6.1Introduction to OTIST

In a wireless network, the wireless clients must have the same SSID and security settings as the access point (AP) or wireless router (we will refer to both as “AP” here) in order to associate with it. Traditionally this meant that you have to configure the settings on the AP and then manually configure the exact same settings on each wireless client.

OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology) allows you to transfer your AP’s SSID and WEP or WPA(2)-PSK security settings to wireless clients that support OTIST and are within transmission range. You can also choose to have OTIST generate a WPA(2)-PSK key for you if you didn’t configure one manually.

6.1.1 Enabling OTIST

You must enable OTIST on both the AP and wireless client before you start transferring settings.

The AP and wireless client(s) MUST use the same Setup Key.
Wireless Client

Start the ZyXEL Utility and click the Adapter tab. Select the OTIST check box, enter the same Setup Key as your AP’s and click Save.
