ZyXEL G-220 v2 User's Guide The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 17 Access Point Mode: Configuration LABEL DESCRIPTION Wireless Settings SSID Hide SSID Channel Output Power Bridge Security Settings WEP Authentication Type Pass Phrase Transmit Key The SSID identifies the wireless network to which a wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (the G-220 v2) must have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the wireless LAN. Select this check box to hide the SSID so an intruder cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool. Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your geographical region. Set this field if you need to conserve power consumption (especially for notebook computers). This control changes the strength of the G-220 v2's antenna gain or transmission power. Antenna gain, measured in dBm (decibel relative units compared to milliwatts), is the increase in coverage. Higher antenna gain improves the range of the signal for better communications. Select High to set the G-220 v2's antenna to transmit at 17-dBm. Select Medium-High to set the G-220 v2's antenna to transmit at 15-dBm. Select Medium-Low to set the G-220 v2's antenna to transmit at 13-dBm. Select Low to set the G-220 v2's antenna to transmit at 11-dBm. This allows for the least power consumption. Select the check box and an Ethernet adapter (network interface card (NIC)) on your computer from the drop-down list box. This allows you to connect your wireless network to the specified wired network. Select 64 Bits, 128 Bits or 256 Bits to activate WEP encryption and then fill in the related fields. Select Disable to deactivate the WEP encryption. Select an authentication method. Choices are Auto, Shared Key and Open System. Refer to Section 3.2.3.1.2 on page 37 for more information. When you select the radio button, enter a passphrase of up to 63 case-sensitive printable characters. As you enter the passphrase, the G-220 v2 automatically generates four different WEP key and displays it in the key field below. Refer to Section 3.2.3.1 on page 37 for more information. At the time of writing, you cannot use passphrase to generate 256-bit WEP keys. Select a default WEP key to use for data encryption. The key displays in the field below. 76 Chapter 5 Access Point Mode Configuration

SSID
The SSID identifies the wireless network to which a wireless station is associated.
Wireless stations associating to the access point (the G-220 v2) must have the
same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the
wireless LAN.
Hide SSID
Select this check box to hide the SSID so an intruder cannot obtain the SSID
through scanning using a site survey tool.
Channel
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your geographical region.
Output Power
Set this field if you need to conserve power consumption (especially for notebook
computers). This control changes the strength of the G-220 v2’s antenna gain or
transmission power. Antenna gain, measured in dBm (decibel relative units
compared to milliwatts), is the increase in coverage. Higher antenna gain improves
the range of the signal for better communications.
Select
