Chapter 7 Wireless LAN 7.10 Technical Reference This section discusses wireless LANs in depth. For more information, see the appendix. 7.10.1 Wireless Network Overview The following figure provides an example of a wireless network. Figure 57 Example of a Wireless Network AP A B The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B use the access point (AP) to interact with the other devices (such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your ZyXEL Device is the AP. Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines. • Every device in the same wireless network must use the same SSID. The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity. • If two wireless networks overlap, they should use a different channel. Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information. P-870H/HW Series User's Guide 105
