[. . . ] NXC-8160 Business WLAN Controller User's Guide Version 1. 0 6/2007 Edition 1 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 NXC-8160 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. [. . . ] If you chose WEP64 in the Security Mode field, then enter 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for each key. If you chose WEP128 in the Security Mode field, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for each key. Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal notation. You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so with additional information. Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared between the external authentication server and the NXC-8160. This key must be the same on the external authentication server and NXC-8160. RADIUS RADIUS Server IP Address RADIUS Server Port Share Secret 5. 5. 4 WPA-PSK Select WPA-PSK from the Security Mode list. 60 NXC-8160 User's Guide Chapter 5 Wireless LAN Figure 22 SSID & Security: WPA-PSK The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 18 SSID & Security: WPA-PSK LABEL Security Mode WPA WPA-PSK The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials. Select ASCII or HEX as the key input method and enter the key in the field provided. Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols) or of 64 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). This is the rate at which the AP sends a new group key out to all clients. The rekeying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. DESCRIPTION Select WPA-PSK from the drop-down list.

Your NXC-8160 supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the NXC-8160 through the network. The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation. Figure 24 SNMP Management Model An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager. An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the NXC-8160).
