Chapter 4 Wireless Station Mode Configuration

Power Saving

Mode

Select

Maximum Power Save

or

Fast Power Save

to save power (especially for

notebook computers). This forces the G-220 v2 to go to sleep mode when it is not

transmitting data.

When you select

Continuous Access Mode

, the G-220 v2 will never go to sleep

mode.

Note:

At the time of writing this field is not available on Windows

Vista.

WMM QoS

WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service) allows you to prioritize wireless

traffic according to the delivery requirements of individual services. To do this, you

must enable WMM QoS on both the AP and wireless clients.

Select this check box to enable WMM QoS on the G-220 v2.

Note:

At the time of writing this field is not available on Windows

Vista.

WPS (Wi-Fi

Protected Setup)

Select this to enable Wi-fi Protected Setup on the G-220 v2.

PBC

Select this to use the PBC (Push-Button Configuration) WPS mode. When you use

the PBC mode you do not use a PIN.

PIN

Select this to use the PIN (Personal Identification Number) WPS mode. Use this

option when you want to enter the G-220 v2’s PIN in another WPS-enabled device.

The PIN will be displayed in the field on the right. Click PIN again to generate a

new PIN.

Manual Input

Select this check box to manually enter the PIN into the field on the right. This

could be a PIN from another WPS-enabled device or a PIN you will type into the

other WPS-enabled device.

Start

Click

Start

once you have selected the PBC or PIN settings. A screen will appear

that states the WPS is in progress. You must now start WPS on the other WPS-

enabled device within two minutes or the connection will time out. If the two WPS

devices connect you will receive a successful connection message.

OTIST (One-

Touch Intelligent

Security

Technology)

Select this check box to enable OTIST.

Setup Key

Enter the same setup key (up to eight printable characters) as the ZyXEL AP or

wireless router to which you want to associate. The default OTIST setup key is

"01234567".

Note:

If you change the OTIST setup key on the ZyXEL AP or

wireless router, you must also make the same change here.

Start

Click

Start

to encrypt the wireless security data using the setup key and have the

ZyXEL AP or wireless router set your G-220 v2 to use the same wireless settings

as the ZyXEL AP or wireless router. You must also activate and start OTIST on the

ZyXEL AP or wireless router all within three minutes.

Save

Click

to save the changes back to the G-220 v2 and return to the

screen.
