[. . . ] G-570S 802. 11g Wireless Access Point User's Guide Version 1. 00 12/2006 Edition 2 www. zyxel. com About This User's Guide About This User's Guide Intended Audience This manual is intended for people who want to configure the ZyXEL Device using the web configurator. You should have at least a basic knowledge of TCP/IP networking concepts and topology. Related Documentation · Quick Start Guide The Quick Start Guide is designed to help you get up and running right away. It contains information on setting up your network and configuring for Internet access. [. . . ] Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters) for the wireless LAN. DESCRIPTION Note: If you are configuring the device from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the device's SSID, channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply to save your settings. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the device's new settings. Site Survey Advanced Settings Manual MAC Cloning Every Ethernet-capable device is issued with a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address at the factory. Your ZyXEL Device is capable of "cloning", or emulating, the MAC addresses of one or more other devices. Turn on the wireless adapter to allow wireless communications between the device and other IEEE 802. 11b and IEEE 802. 11g compliant wireless devices. Turn off the wireless adapter to stop wireless communications between the device and other IEEE 802. 11b and IEEE 802. 11g compliant wireless devices. Click this button to see details of access points (APs) within range. Radio Enable ZyXEL G-570S User's Guide 63 Chapter 7 Wireless Screens Table 15 Wireless Settings: Wireless Client (continued) LABEL Output Power Management DESCRIPTION Set the output power of the device in this field. If there is a high density of APs within an area, decrease the output power of the device to reduce interference with other APs. Use this field to select a maximum data rate for the wireless connection(s). Please note that this is a total rate to be shared by all of the device's wireless connections. Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means more time for sending data. All IEEE 802. 11b compliant wireless adapters support long preamble, but not all support short preamble. Select Long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless adapters support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless networks. Select Dynamic to have the device automatically use short preamble when all wireless clients support it, otherwise the device uses long preamble. Data Rate Management Preamble Type Note: The device and the wireless stations MUST use the same preamble mode in order to communicate. Super-G Mode Super-G mode provides higher speed transmissions than regular IEEE 802. 11g. The other device must also support super-G mode in order for the device to use it for the wireless connection. This is available when you select a Wireless Mode that includes IEEE 802. 11g. When Super-G Mode is enabled, the ZyXEL Device in wireless client mode can also connect to a turbo-G enabled wireless access point. The default is 2346. Fragmentation Enter a value between 256 and 2346.
