ZyAIR Wireless Gateway Series User’s Guide

Preface

Congratulations on your purchase from the ZyAIR Wireless Gateway series.

A wireless gateway is an access point and router rolled into one. It is a cost-effect solution to share Internet
access with multiple computers and expand your wired network.

Some features are not available in every model. Refer to the Model Specific

Features table in Chapter 1 of this user’s guide to see what features are specific to

your ZyAIR model.

This User’s Guide is designed to guide you through the configuration of your ZyAIR using the web
configurator or the SMT.

Use the web configurator, System Management Terminal (SMT) or command

interpreter interface to configure your ZyAIR. Not all features can be configured

through all interfaces.

The web configurator parts of this guide contain background information on features configurable by the web
configurator and the SMT. The SMT parts of this guide contain background information solely on features
not configurable by the web configurator.
