CHAPTER 10

Wireless LAN

This chapter discusses how to configure wireless LAN on the ZyWALL.

10.1 Wireless LAN 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. To add a wireless network to the ZyWALL, you can either install a WLAN

card or connect an Access Point to a port in the WLAN role.

Note: See Appendix A on page 715 for how to install a WLAN card.

See the WLAN appendix for more detailed information on WLANs.

10.1.1 Additional Installation Requirements for Using 802.1x

• A computer with an IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN card.

• A computer equipped with a web browser (with JavaScript enabled) and/or Telnet.

• A wireless station must be running IEEE 802.1x-compliant software. Currently, this is

offered in Windows XP.

• An optional network RADIUS server for remote user authentication and accounting.

10.2 Configuring WLAN

Do one of the following to add wireless functionality to the ZyWALL.

Note: Turn the ZyWALL off before you install or remove the wireless LAN card. See

the product specifications appendix for a table of compatible ZyXEL WLAN

cards (and the WLAN security features each card supports) and how to install a

WLAN card.

• Insert a compatible wireless LAN card and enable the card in the Wireless Card screen

(see Figure 94 on page 206).

• Use the Port Roles screen (see Figure 88 on page 196) to set a port to be part of the

WLAN and connect an access point (AP) to the WLAN interface to extend the

ZyWALL’s wireless LAN coverage.
