Wireless Security Screen
10.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to use the Wireless Security screen. This screen allows you to configure the security mode for your NWA.
Wireless security is vital to your network. It protects communications between wireless stations, access points and the wired network.
Figure 86 Securing the Wireless Network
In the figure above, the NWA (ZyXEL Device) checks the identity of devices (A and B) before giving them access to the network. In this scenario, A is denied access to the network, while B is granted connectivity.
The NWA secures communications via data encryption, wireless client authentication and MAC address filtering. It can also hide its identity in the network.
10.1.1 What You Can Do in the Wireless Security Screen
Use the Wireless > Security screen (see Section 10.2 on page 157) to choose the security mode for your NWA.
