CHAPTER 1
Getting Started
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the ZyXEL Device.
1.1 About Your ZyXEL Device
The ZyXEL Device is a WiMAX WiFi router with built-in switch and VoIP. It allows you to
access the Internet by connecting to a WiMAX wireless network.
You can create a WiFi network using the Wireless LAN feature.
You can use a traditional analog telephone to make Internet calls using the ZyXEL Device!s
Voice over IP (VoIP) communication capabilities.
You can configure firewall and content filtering for secure Internet access, as well as a host of
other features.
The web browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), also known as the web configurator,
provides easy management.
See Chapter 25 on page 269 for a complete list of features for your model.
At the time of writing, this User!s Guide covers the following models:
Table 2 Models Covered
MAX-200HW22.5Ghz
MAX-210HW23.5Ghz
MAX-230HW22.3Ghz
This User!s Guide uses screens and example settings from the MAX-210HW2 model.
1.1.1 Wireless Internet Access
Connect your computer or network to the ZyXEL Device for wireless Internet access. See the
Quick Start Guide for instructions on hardware connection.
In a wireless metropolitan area network (MAN), the ZyXEL Device connects to a base station
(BS) for Internet access.
The following diagram shows a notebook computer equipped with the ZyXEL Device
connecting to the Internet through a base station (marked BS).
MAX-200HW2 Series User s Guide

Chapter 1Getting Started
Figure 1 Mobile Station and Base Station
You can also configure firewall and content filtering on the ZyXEL Device for secure Internet
access. When the firewall is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is
blocked unless it is initiated from your network. This means that probes from the outside to
your network are not allowed, but you can safely browse the Internet and download files.
Use content filtering to block access to web sites with URLs containing keywords that you
specify. You can define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled and
include or exclude particular computers on your network from content filtering. For example,
you could block access to certain web sites for the kids.
1.1.2 WiFi Network
The ZyXEL Device Wireless LAN feature allows IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compatible
wireless clients to access the Internet or the local network as well as to communicate with each
other. Wireless stations can move freely anywhere in the coverage area and use resources on
the wired network.
Figure 2 WLAN Application Example
1.1.3 Make Calls via Internet Telephony Service Provider
In a home or small office environment, you can use the ZyXEL Device to make and receive
the following types of VoIP telephone calls:
Peer-to-Peer calls (A) - Use the ZyXEL Device to make a call to the recipient!s IP address
without using a SIP proxy server.
34
MAX-200HW2 Series User s Guide
Chapter 1Getting Started
Calls via a VoIP service provider (B) - The ZyXEL Device sends your call to a VoIP
service provider!s SIP server which forwards your calls to either VoIP or PSTN phones.

MAX-200HW2 Series User s Guide
Chapter 1Getting Started
If you have a MAX-200HW2 or MAX-210HW2 you should have a 2dBi Wifi omni antenna
and a panel directional antenna. Connect the WiFi omni antenna to the connector port labelled
WiFi. Connect the cable to the panel directional antenna and connector port labelled WiMAX.
Make sure you position the panel directional antenna as far away from the device as possible
to minimize interference. See the panel directional antenna documentation on how to set it up.
The MAX-210HW2 is also equipped with one internal 6dBi directional patch antenna for
WiMAX. If your signal strength is poor (use the SIGNAL LEDs to gauge received signal
strength) orient the front of the ZyXEL Device (the side with the LEDs) towards the base
station. If you do not know the location of the base station, experiment with moving the
ZyXEL Device while observing the SIGNAL LEDs.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the ZyXEL Device
Do the following things regularly to make the ZyXEL Device more secure and to manage the
ZyXEL Device more effectively.
Change the password. Use a password that!s not easy to guess and that consists of
different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an
earlier working configuration may be useful if the ZyXEL Device becomes unstable or
even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the ZyXEL Device to its
factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have
to totally re-configure the ZyXEL Device. You could simply restore your last
configuration.

MAX-200HW2 Series User s Guide
3.3.1 Connecting to a Wireless LAN
The following sections show you how to join a wireless network using the ZyXEL utility, as in
the following diagram. The wireless client is labelled C and the access point is labelled AP.
There are three ways to connect the client to an access point.
Configure nothing and leave the wireless client to automatically scan for and connect to
any available network that has no wireless security configured.
Manually connect to a network.
Configure a profile to have the wireless client automatically connect to a specific network
or peer computer.
This example illustrates how to manually connect your wireless client to an access point (AP)
which is configured for WPA-PSK security and connected to the Internet. Before you connect
to the access point, you must know its Service Set IDentity (SSID) and WPA-PSK pre-shared
key. In this example, the SSID is "SSID_Example3# and the pre-shared key is
"ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey#.
After you install the ZyXEL utility and then insert the wireless client, follow the steps below
to connect to a network using the Site Survey screen.
1 Open the ZyXEL utility and click the Site Survey tab to open the screen shown next.
Chapter 3Tutorial
2 The wireless client automatically searches for available wireless networks. Click Scan if
you want to search again. If no entry displays in the Available Network List, that means
there is no wireless network available within range. Make sure the AP or peer computer
is turned on or move the wireless client closer to the AP or peer computer.
3 When you try to connect to an AP with security configured, a window will pop up
prompting you to specify the security settings. Enter the pre-shared key and leave the
encryption type at the default setting.
Use the Next button to move on to the next screen. You can use the Back button at any
time to return to the previous screen, or the Exit button to return to the Site Survey

CHAPTER 7
Wireless LAN
This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your ZyXEL Device.
See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.
7.1 Wireless Network Overview
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
Figure 50 Example of a Wireless Network
The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B
are called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other
devices (such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your ZyXEL Device is the AP.
Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.
Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.
If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel,
or frequency, to send and receive information.
MAX-200HW2 User s Guide
91
Chapter 7Wireless LAN
Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the
AP.
Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect
the information that is sent in the wireless network.
7.2 Wireless Security Overview
The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the
wireless network.
7.2.1 SSID
Normally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can
hide the SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you
should change the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.
This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices
to get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in
the wireless network.
7.2.2 MAC Address Filter
Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC
address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002
or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate
User!s Guide or other documentation.
You can use the MAC address filter to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed or not
allowed to use the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network,
it still has to have the correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not
allowed to use the wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings.
This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.
Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized
wireless client. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network.
7.2.3 User Authentication
You can make every user log in to the wireless network before they can use it. This is called
user authentication. However, every wireless client in the wireless network has to support
IEEE 802.1x to do this.
For wireless networks, there are two typical places to store the user names and passwords for
each user.
In the AP: this feature is called a local user database or a local database.
In a RADIUS server: this is a server used in businesses more than in homes.
1.Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks.
These kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses.
2.Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F.
92
MAX-200HW2 User s Guide
If your AP does not provide a local user database and if you do not have a RADIUS server,
you cannot set up user names and passwords for your users.
Unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network, even if
they cannot use the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless
users to get a valid user name and password. Then, they can use that user name and password
to use the wireless network.
Local user databases also have an additional limitation that is explained in the next section.
7.2.4 Encryption
Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless
network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot
understand the message.
The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of user authentication. (See
Section 7.2.3 on page 92 for information about this.)
Table 23 Types of Encryption for Each Type of Authentication
Weakest No SecurityWPA
Strongest WPA2-PSKWPA2
Chapter 7Wireless LAN
NO AUTHENTICATION RADIUS SERVER
Static WEP
WPA-PSK
For example, if the wireless network has a RADIUS server, you can choose WPA or WPA2. If
users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no encryption, Static WEP, WPA-
PSK, or WPA2-PSK.
Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless
network supports. For example, suppose the AP does not have a local user database, and you
do not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no user authentication. Suppose the wireless
network has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP
and WPA. Therefore, you should set up Static WEP in the wireless network.
It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA , or stronger
encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it
is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information
pretty quickly.
It is not possible to use WPA-PSK, WPA or stronger encryption with a local
user database. In this case, it is better to set up stronger encryption with no
authentication than to set up weaker encryption with the local user database.
MAX-200HW2 User s Guide
93
Chapter 7Wireless LAN
When you select WPA2 or WPA2-PSK in your ZyXEL Device, you can also select an option
(WPA Compatible) to support WPA as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support
WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up WPA2-PSK or WPA2 (depending on the
type of wireless network login) and select the WPA Compatible option in the ZyXEL Device.
Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The
longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must
have the same key.
7.2.5 One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology (OTIST)
With ZyXEL!s OTIST, you set up the SSID and WPA-PSK on the ZyXEL Device. Then, the
ZyXEL Device transfers them to the devices in the wireless networks. As a result, you do not
have to set up the SSID and encryption on every device in the wireless network.
The devices in the wireless network have to support OTIST, and they have to be in range of the
ZyXEL Device when you activate it. See Section 7.4 on page 101 for more details.
7.3 General Wireless LAN Screen
If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer connected to the
wireless LAN and you change the ZyXEL Device s SSID, channel 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.

7.4 OTIST
In a wireless network, the wireless clients must have the same SSID and security settings as
the access point (AP) or wireless router (we will refer to both as "AP# here) in order to
associate with it. Traditionally this meant that you had to configure the settings on the AP and
then manually configure the exact same settings on each wireless client.
OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology) allows you to transfer your AP!s SSID
and WPA-PSK security settings to wireless clients that support OTIST and are within
transmission range. You can also choose to have OTIST generate a WPA-PSK key for you if
you didn!t configure one manually.
OTIST replaces the pre-configured wireless settings on the wireless clients.
