P-662H/HW-D Series User’s Guide

1.1.1.1P-662HW Wireless Features Wireless LAN

The ZyXEL Device supports the IEEE 802.11g standard, which is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard, meaning that you can have both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g wireless clients in the same wireless network.

Note: The P-662HW may be prone to RF (Radio Frequency) interference from other

2.4GHz devices such as microwave ovens, wireless phones, Bluetooth enabled devices, and other wireless LANs.

Wi-Fi Protected Access

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security specification standard. Key differences between WPA and WEP are user authentication and improved data encryption.

Wireless g+

Wireless g+ technology allows super fast transmission rates (actual speed depends on environment) among Wireless g+ enabled access points and wireless clients.

Antenna

The ZyXEL Device is equipped with a detachable SMA 5dBi high gain Antenna to provide clear radio signal between the wireless stations and the access points.

Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering

Your ZyXEL Device can check the MAC addresses of wireless stations against a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses.

WEP Encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless network to help keep network communications private.

OTIST (One Touch Intelligent Security Technology)

OTIST allows your ZyXEL Device to assign its ESSID and security settings (WEP or WPA- PSK) to the ZyXEL wireless adapters that support OTIST and are within transmission range. The ZyXEL wireless adapters must also have OTIST enabled.
