Chapter 8 Wireless Screen Table 24 Wireless: Bridge / Repeater LABEL DESCRIPTIONS TKIP Select this to enable Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) security on your WDS. This option is compatible with other ZyXEL access points that support WDS security. Use this if the other access points on your network support WDS security but do not have an AES option. Note: Check your other AP's documentation to make sure it supports WDS security. AES Select this to enable Advanced Encryption System (AES) security on your WDS. AES provides superior security to TKIP. Use AES if the other access points on your network support it for the WDS. Index This is the index number of the bridge connection. Active Select the check box to enable the bridge connection. Otherwise, clear the check box to disable it. Remote Bridge MAC Type the MAC address of the peer device in a valid MAC address format, that is, six hexadecimal character pairs, for example, 12:34:56:78:9a:bc. PSK Type a pre-shared key (PSK) from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols). You must also set the peer device to use the same pre-shared key. Each peer device can use a different pre-shared key. Enable Antenna Diversity (For NWA-3160 and NWA-3163 only) Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple antennas to reduce signal interference. Enable Spanning Tree Control (STP) (R)STP (Section 8.3.1 on page 144) detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact with other (R)STP -compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network. Select the check box to activate STP on the NWA. Apply Click Apply to save your changes. Reset Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh. 132 NWA-3160 Series User's Guide

on your network support WDS security but do not have an AES
option.
Note: Check your other AP’s documentation to make sure it
supports WDS security.
AES
Select this to enable Advanced Encryption System (AES) security on
your WDS. AES provides superior security to TKIP. Use AES if the
other access points on your network support it for the WDS.
Index
This is the index number of the bridge connection.
Active
Select the check box to enable the bridge connection. Otherwise,
clear the check box to disable it.
Remote Bridge
MAC
Type the MAC address of the peer device in a valid MAC address
format, that is, six hexadecimal character pairs, for example,
12:34:56:78:9a:bc.
PSK
Type a pre-shared key (PSK) from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII
characters (including spaces and symbols). You must also set the

Tree Control (STP)
(R)STP (
Section 8.3.1 on page 144
) detects and breaks network
loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or
routers. It allows a bridge to interact with other (R)STP -compliant
bridges in your network to ensure that only one path exists between
any two stations on the network. Select the check box to activate
STP on the NWA.
