The following table describes the fields in this screen.

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Network Name

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which

(SSID)

a wireless device is associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32

 

printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the wireless LAN.

 

Note: If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer

 

connected to the wireless LAN and you change the

 

ZyXEL Device’s SSID or security settings, you will lose

 

your wireless connection when you press Apply to

 

confirm. You must then change the wireless settings of

 

your computer to match the ZyXEL Device’s new settings.

 

 

Hide SSID

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame

 

so a station cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site

 

survey tool.

 

 

Security Mode

See Section 8.2 on page 139 for more details about this field.

 

 

MAC Filter

This shows whether the wireless devices with the MAC addresses

 

listed are allowed or denied to access the ZyXEL Device using this

 

SSID.

 

 

Edit

Click this to go to the MAC Filter screen to configure MAC filter

 

settings. See Section 8.2.6 on page 147 for more details.

 

 

QoS

This shows whether QoS (Quality of Service) is activated or the

 

priority level for wireless traffic with this SSID. Select a priority level

 

from the drop-down list box. Choices are None, Default, Highest,

 

High, Middle and Low.

 

Select None to disable QoS.

 

Select Default to have the ZyXEL Device automatically give traffic a

 

priority level according to the ToS value in the IP header of packets

 

it sends. WMM QoS (Wifi MultiMedia Quality of Service) gives high

 

priority to voice and video, which makes them run more smoothly.

 

Highest - Typically used for voice or video that should be high-

 

quality.

 

High - Typically used for voice or video that can be medium-quality.

 

Middle - Typically used for applications that do not fit into another

 

priority. For example, Internet surfing.

 

Low - Typically used for non-critical “background” applications, such

 

as large file transfers and print jobs that should not affect other

 

applications.
