CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your Prestige
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Prestige.
1.1 Prestige Internet Security Gateway Overview
The Prestige is the ideal secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and LAN’s.
By integrating NAT, firewall, media bandwidth management and VPN capability, ZyXEL’s
Prestige is a complete security solution that protects your Intranet and efficiently manages data
traffic on your network. The built-in print server allows computers on the LAN to share a USB
printer eliminating the need to assign a dedicated computer as a print server or have a
standalone print server device.
The embedded web configurator is easy to operate.
1.2 Prestige Features
The following sections describe Prestige features.
1.2.1 Physical Features
1.2.1.1 USB Port
The Prestige uses a USB 1.1 port to connect to a printer with a USB interface. Printers that use
USB 1.0 are also compatible. Computers on the LAN use the printer by sending print requests
to the print server in the Prestige.
1.2.1.2 OTIST Button (P-335WT only)
Use this button to activate OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology). OTIST
allows your Prestige to assign wireless clients the Prestige’s SSID and static WEP or WPAPSK encryption settings. The wireless client must also support OTIST and have OTIST
enabled.
This auto-negotiation feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions
and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
These interfaces automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.
1.2.1.5 4-Port Switch
A combination of switch and router makes your Prestige a cost-effective and viable network
solution. You can add up to four computers to the Prestige without the cost of a hub. Add more
than four computers to your LAN by using a hub.
1.2.1.6 Time and Date
The Prestige allows you to get the current time and date from an external server when you turn
on your Prestige. You can also set the time manually.
1.2.1.7 Reset Button
The Prestige reset button is built into the rear panel. Use this button to restore the factory
defaults.
1.2.2 Non-Physical Features
1.2.2.1 Print Server
The Prestige has a built-in print server that allows computers on the LAN to share a USB
printer. This eliminates the need to assign a dedicated computer as a print server or have a
standalone print server device.
1.2.2.2 OTIST (P-335WT only)
One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology (OTIST) allows your Prestige to give wireless
clients the Prestige’s security settings.The wireless client must also support OTIST. The
Prestige’s OTIST feature supports static WEP or WPA-PSK encryption security settings.
1.2.2.3 Media Bandwidth Management
ZyXEL’s Media Bandwidth Management allows you to specify bandwidth classes based on an
application and/or subnet. You can allocate specific amounts of bandwidth capacity
(bandwidth budgets) to different bandwidth classes.
1.2.2.4 Trend Micro Security Services
TMSS (Trend Micro Security Services) identifies vulnerabilities and protects computers
and networks that have Internet connections. TMSS is enabled by default on the Prestige
but you must register at the TMSS web page. After you register, you can configure TMSS
using the Prestige web configurator.
44 Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Prestige
1.2.2.5 IPSec VPN Capability
Establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect with business partners and branch
offices using data encryption and the Internet to provide secure communications without the
expense of leased site-to-site lines. The Prestige VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is
fully interoperable with other IPSec-based VPN products.
1.2.2.6 Firewall
The Prestige is a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service) protection. By
default, when the firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is
blocked unless it is initiated from the LAN. The Prestige firewall supports TCP/UDP
inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real time alerts, reports and logs.
The Prestige supports the IEEE 802.1x standard to enhance user authentication. Use the builtin user profile database to authenticate up to 32 users using MD5 encryption. Use an EAPcompatible RADIUS (RFC2138, 2139 - Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server
to authenticate a limitless number of users using EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
EAP is an authentication protocol that supports multiple types of authentication.
P-335 Series User’s Guide
1.2.2.8 Content Filtering
Content filtering allows you to block access to forbidden Internet web sites, schedule when the
Prestige should perform the filtering and give trusted LAN IP addresses unfiltered Internet
access.
1.2.2.9 Brute-Force Password Guessing Protection
The Prestige has a special protection mechanism to discourage brute-force password guessing
attacks on the Prestige’s management interfaces. You can specify a wait-time that must expire
before entering a fourth password after three incorrect passwords have been entered. Please
see the appendices for details about this feature.
1.2.2.10 802.11b Wireless LAN Standard (P-335WT only)
The Prestige, complies with the 802.11b wireless standard.
The 802.11b data rate and corresponding modulation techniques are as follows. The
modulation technique defines how bits are encoded onto radio waves.
Note: The Prestige may be prone to RF (Radio Frequency) interference from other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwave ovens, wireless phones, Bluetooth enabled devices, and other wireless LANs
1.2.2.11 802.11g Wireless LAN Standard (P-335WT only)
The Prestige, complies with the 802.11g wireless standard and is also fully compatible with
the 802.11b standard. This means an 802.11b radio card can interface directly with an 802.11g
device (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on range. 802.11g has several
intermediate rate steps between the maximum and minimum data rates. The 802.11g data rate
and modulation are as follows:
Table 2 IEEE 802.11g
DATA RATE (MBPS)MODULATION
6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
1.2.2.12 Packet Filtering
The packet filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.
1.2.2.13 Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the Prestige and other UPnP enabled devices can
dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices
on the network.
1.2.2.14 Call Scheduling
Configure call time periods to restrict and allow access for users on remote nodes.
1.2.2.15 PPPoE
PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with an Internet modem to achieve access to highspeed data networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.
1.2.2.16 PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of
data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a
TCP/IP-based network.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public
networks, such as the Internet. The Prestige supports one PPTP server connection at any given
time.
46 Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Prestige
1.2.2.17 Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) support, you can have a static hostname alias for
a dynamic IP address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on
the Internet. You must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
1.2.2.18 IP Multicast
Deliver IP packets to a specific group of hosts using IP multicast. IGMP (Internet Group
Management Protocol) is the protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is
version 2 (see RFC 2236); the Prestige supports both versions 1 and 2.
1.2.2.19 IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same
Ethernet interface. The Prestige supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical
Ethernet LAN interface with the Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
1.2.2.20 SNMP
P-335 Series User’s Guide
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP
protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager
station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network. The Prestige supports SNMP
version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2).
1.2.2.21 Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address
used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a
different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on
the Internet).
1.2.2.22 Traffic Redirect
Traffic Redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway on the LAN when the Prestige
cannot connect to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary backup when your regular WAN
connection fails.
1.2.2.23 Port Forwarding
Use this feature to forward incoming service requests to a server on your local network. You
may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP
address of the desired server.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual client computers to
obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has
built-in DHCP server capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses,
an IP default gateway and DNS servers to all systems that support the DHCP client.
1.2.2.25 Any IP
The Any IP feature allows a computer to access the Internet without changing the network
settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, when the IP addresses of the
computer and the Prestige are not in the same subnet.
1.2.2.26 Full Network Management
The embedded web configurator is an all-platform web-based utility that allows you to easily
access the Prestige’s management settings and configure the firewall. Most functions of the
Prestige are also software configurable via the SMT (System Management Terminal)

Chapter 3 Wizard Setup65
P-335 Series User’s Guide
3.5.2 PPPoE Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) draft standard specifying how a host personal
computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to
achieve access to high-speed data networks.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with
existing access control systems (for instance, Radius). For the user, PPPoE provides a login
and authentication method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can
activate, and therefore requires no new learning or procedures for Windows users.
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network
services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to
easily create and offer new IP services for specific users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it
requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber’s site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the Prestige (rather than individual computers), the
computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the Prestige does that part
of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.
Refer to the appendix for more information on PPPoE.

3.5.3 PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfers of data
from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/
IP-based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public
networks, such as the Internet.

3.6 Wizard Setup : WAN
These wizard screens allow you to configure WAN IP address assignment, DNS server
address assignment and the WAN MAC address.
3.6.1 WAN IP Address Assignment
Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated
from the Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP
addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private
networks.
Table 11 Private IP Address Ranges
10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by a private
network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the
ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if
you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for
the appropriate IP addresses.
Note: Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an
arbitrary IP address; always follow the guidelines above. For
more information on address assignment, please refer to RFC
1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466,
Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.
3.6.2 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a
LAN share one common network number.
Chapter 3 Wizard Setup69
P-335 Series User’s Guide
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or
your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their
instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single
user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is
established. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses
specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise.
Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 individual
addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the
first three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual
computer on that network.
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember,
for instance, 192.168.1.1, for your Prestige, but make sure that no other device on your
network is using that IP address.
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your Prestige will
compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don't
need to change the subnet mask computed by the Prestige unless you are instructed to do
otherwise.
3.6.3 DNS Server Address Assignment
Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and
vice versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is
extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before
you can access it.
The Prestige can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
1 The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet,
when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS
Server fields in DHCP Setup.
2 If the ISP did not give you DNS server information, leave the DNS Server fields in
DHCP Setup set to 0.0.0.0 for the ISP to dynamically assign the DNS server IP addresses.
3.6.4 WAN MAC Address
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address
is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
70 Chapter 3 Wizard Setup
P-335 Series User’s Guide
You can configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the factory default or cloning
the MAC address from a computer on your LAN. Once it is successfully configured, the
address will be copied to the "rom" file (ZyNOS configuration file). It will not change unless
you change the setting or upload a different "rom" file.

Media Bandwidth Management
This chapter provides information on the bandwidth management setup screens in the web
configurator.
4.1 Media Bandwidth Management Setup Overview
The web configurator’s BW SETUP allows you to specify bandwidth classes based on an
application and/or subnet. You can allocate specific amounts of bandwidth capacity
(bandwidth budgets) to different bandwidth classes.
Setup
The Prestige applies bandwidth management to traffic that it forwards out through the LAN,
WAN and WLAN interfaces regardless of the traffic's source. For example, bandwidth
management can be applied to the following situations:a LAN user surfing the Web or a LAN
user downloading from a server behind the Prestige.
The Prestige does not control the bandwidth of traffic that comes into these interfaces.
Traffic redirect or IP alias may cause LAN-to-LAN traffic to pass through the Prestige and be
managed by bandwidth management.

management to traffic going out through the Prestige’s WAN, LAN or WLAN
port.
Enter the amount of Managed Bandwidth in kbps (2 to 100,000) that you
want to allocate for traffic. 20 kbps to 20,000 kbps is recommended. The
recommendation is to set this speed to be equal to or less than the speed of
the broadband device connected to the WAN port.
For example, set the speed to 1000 Kbps (or less) if the broadband device
connected to the WAN port has an upstream speed of 1000 Kbps.

can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a domain name (for
instance myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) that will never change
instead of using an IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives
will always be able to call you even if they don't know your IP address.

you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the
second User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure
a system DNS server, you must use IP addresses when configuring VPN, DDNS
and the time server.
First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is
for people with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a
domain name. The Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key.
5.3.1 DynDNS Wildcard
Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the
same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use,
for example, www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.

This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
6.1 LAN Overview
Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server, manage IP addresses,
and partition your physical network into logical networks.
6.2 DHCP Setup
P-335 Series User’s Guide
CHAPTER 6
LAN Screens
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Prestige
as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the Prestige provides the TCP/IP
configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server
on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.
6.2.1 IP Pool Setup
The Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to
192.168.1.64. This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the Prestige itself) in the
lower range for other server computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc.,
that you may have.
6.2.2 System DNS Servers
Refer to the IP Address and Subnet Mask section in the Wizard Setup chapter.
6.3 LAN TCP/IP
The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to
systems that support DHCP client capability.
6.3.1 Factory LAN Defaults
The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
Chapter 6 LAN Screens87
P-335 Series User’s Guide
• IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
• DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit
DNS server address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need
to be configured.
6.3.2 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Refer to the IP Address and Subnet Mask section in the Wizard Setup chapter for this
information.
6.3.3 RIP Setup
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to exchange
routing information with other routers. RIP Direction controls the sending and receiving of
RIP packets. When set to Both or Out Only, the Prestige will broadcast its routing table
periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the RIP information that it
receives; when set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets
received.
RIP Version controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the
Prestige sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported;
but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you
have an unusual network topology.
Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the
load on non-router machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address
and so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all
routers on your network must use multicasting, also.
By default, RIP Direction is set to Both and RIP Version to RIP-1.
6.3.4 Multicast
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1
recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to
a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1.
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish
membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. IGMP version 2 (RFC
2236) is an improvement over version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. If
you would like to read more detailed information about interoperability between IGMP
version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2236. The class D IP address is
used to identify host groups and can be in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The address
88 Chapter 6 LAN Screens
224.0.0.0 is not assigned to any group and is used by IP multicast computers. The address
224.0.0.1 is used for query messages and is assigned to the permanent group of all IP hosts
(including gateways). All hosts must join the 224.0.0.1 group in order to participate in IGMP.
The address 224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group.
The Prestige supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2). At
start up, the Prestige queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership.
After that, the Prestige periodically updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/
disabled on the Prestige LAN and/or WAN interfaces in the web configurator (LAN; WA N ).
Select None to disable IP multicasting on these interfaces.
6.4 Any IP
Traditionally, you must set the IP addresses and the subnet masks of a computer and the
Prestige to be in the same subnet to allow the computer to access the Internet (through the
Prestige). In cases where your computer is required to use a static IP address in another
network, you may need to manually configure the network settings of the computer every time
you want to access the Internet via the Prestige.
P-335 Series User’s Guide
With the Any IP feature and NAT enabled, the Prestige allows a computer to access the
Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the
computer, when the IP addresses of the computer and the Prestige are not in the same subnet.
Whether a computer is set to use a dynamic or static (fixed) IP address, you can simply
connect the computer to the Prestige and access the Internet.
The following figure depicts a scenario where a computer is set to use a static private IP
address in the corporate environment. In a residential house where a Prestige is installed, you
can still use the computer to access the Internet without changing the network settings, even
when the IP addresses of the computer and the Prestige are not in the same subnet.
Figure 27 Any IP Example Application
Chapter 6 LAN Screens89
P-335 Series User’s Guide
The Any IP feature does not apply to a computer using either a dynamic IP address or a static
IP address that is in the same subnet as the Prestige’s IP address.
6.4.1 How Any IP Works
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP
address) to a physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control or MAC
address, on the local area network. IP routing table is defined on IP Ethernet devices (the
Prestige) to decide which hop to use,
The following lists out the steps taken, when a computer tries to access the Internet for the first
time through the Prestige.
1 When a computer (which is in a different subnet) first attempts to access the Internet, it
sends packets to its default gateway (which is not the Prestige) by looking at the MAC
address in its ARP table.
Note: You must enable NAT to use the Any IP feature on the
Prestige
to help forward data along to its specified destination.
2 When the computer cannot locate the default gateway, an ARP request is broadcast on the
LAN.
3 The Prestige receives the ARP request and replies to the computer with its own MAC
address.
4 The computer updates the MAC address for the default gateway to the ARP table. Once
the ARP table is updated, the computer is able to access the Internet through the Prestige.
5 When the Prestige receives packets from the computer, it creates an entry in the IP
routing table so it can properly forward packets intended for the computer.
After all the routing information is updated, the computer can access the Prestige and the
Internet as if it is in the same subnet as the Prestige.

This chapter discusses how to configure Wireless LAN.
7.1 Introduction
A wireless LAN can be as simple as two computers with wireless LAN adapters
communicating in a peer-to-peer network or as complex as a number of computers with
wireless LAN adapters communicating through access points which bridge network traffic to
the wired LAN.
Note: See the WLAN appendix for more detailed information on WLANs.
P-335 Series User’s Guide
CHAPTER 7
Wireless LAN (P-335WT)
7.2 Wireless Security Overview
Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless
stations, access points and the wired network.
Wireless security methods available on the Prestige are data encryption, wireless client
authentication, restricting access by device MAC address and hiding the Prestige identity.
7.2.1 Encryption
• Use WPA security if you have WPA-aware wireless clients and a RADIUS server. WPA
has user authentication and improved data encryption over WEP.
• Use WPA-PSK if you have WPA-aware wireless clients but no RADIUS server.
• If you don’t have WPA-aware wireless clients, then use WEP key encrypting. A higher
bit key offers better security at a throughput trade-off. You can use Passphrase to
automatically generate 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys or manually enter 64-bit, 128-bit or
256-bit WEP keys.
7.2.2 Authentication
WPA has user authentication and you can also configure IEEE 802.1x to use a RADIUS server
to authenticate wireless clients before joining your network.
• Use RADIUS authentication if you have a RADIUS server. See the appendices for
information on protocols used when a client authenticates with a RADIUS server via the
Prestige.
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN (P-335WT)97
P-335 Series User’s Guide
7.2.3 Restricted Access
The MAC Filter screen allows you to configure the AP to give exclusive access to devices
(Allow Association) or exclude them from accessing the AP (Deny Association).
7.2.4 Hide Prestige Identity
If you hide the ESSID, then the Prestige cannot be seen when a wireless client scans for local
APs. The trade-off for the extra security of “hiding” the Prestige may be inconvenient for
some valid WLAN clients. If you don’t hide the ESSID, at least you should change the default
one.
7.2.5 G-plus
G-plus is an enhancement to the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard. G-plus combines multiple
frames into a larger frame size. This increases wireless transmission speeds by allowing larger
frames (up to 4 KB) to be sent.
G-plus speed applies only to unicast traffic (not broadcast or multicast). G-plus is
automatically disabled if wireless transmission speeds fall below 11 Mbps.
7.2.6 Using OTIST
To automatically configure the wireless security settings and set the wireless client to use the
SSID and WEP or WPA-PSK settings, use the OTIST setup wizard or the advanced
same
wireless OTIST screen.
To manually configure the security setting, enter the WEP or WPA-PSK keys and SSID in the
wireless screen. After that, you can enter the same settings in the wireless client or run OTIST
to have the wireless client acquire the SSID and key automatically.
If you change the SSID or the keys after OTIST, you need to run OTIST again or enter them
manually in the wireless client.
Note: You must activate and start OTIST on both the Prestige and the wireless client
at the same time.
See the wireless client Quick Start Guide for information on wireless client OTIST setup. For
more information on OTIST see
Activating OTIST on page 125.
7.3 Configuring Wireless LAN on the Prestige
1 Configure the SSID and WEP in the Wireless screen. If you configure WEP, you can’t
configure WPA or WPA-PSK.
2 Use the MAC Filter screen to restrict access to your wireless network by MAC address.
3 Configure the RADIUS authentication database settings in the Wireless screen.
98 Chapter 7 Wireless LAN (P-335WT)
P-335 Series User’s Guide
4 If you have OTIST-enabled clients, configure OTIST in the OTIST screen. OTIST
transfers device SSID and WEP or WPA-PSK key settings (if enabled) to wireless
clients.
The following figure shows the relative effectiveness of these wireless security methods
available on your Prestige.
Figure 31 Prestige Wireless Security Levels
Note: You must enable the same wireless security settings on the Prestige and on all
wireless clients that you want to associate with it.
7.4 Configuring the Wireless Screen
Note: If you are configuring the Prestige from a computer
connected to the wireless LAN and you change the Prestige’s
SSID or WEP 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 Prestige’s new
settings.
