DESCRIPTION

Profile Name

Enter a name identifying this profile.

 

 

SSID

When a wireless client scans for an AP to associate with, this is the name that

 

is broadcast and seen in the wireless client utility.

 

 

Hide Name (SSID)

Select Disable if you want the ZyXEL Device to broadcast this SSID (a

 

wireless client scanning for an AP will find this SSID). Alternatively, select

 

Enable to have the ZyXEL Device hide this SSID (a wireless client scanning

 

for an AP will not find this SSID).

 

 

Security

Select a security profile to use with this SSID profile. See Section 7.9 on page

 

104 for more information.

 

 

RADIUS

Select a RADIUS profile from the drop-down list box, if you have a RADIUS

 

server configured. If you do not need to use RADIUS authentication, ignore

 

this field. See Section 7.11 on page 112 for more information.
