C HAPT ER 6 Tutorials 6.1 Overview This chapter provides tutorials for setting up your EMG2926-Q10A. • Set Up a Wireless Network with WPS • Configure Wireless Security without WPS • Using Multiple SSIDs on the EMG2926-Q10A 6.2 Set Up a Wireless Network with WPS This section gives you an example of how to set up a wireless network using WPS. This example uses the EMG2926-Q10A as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook.
Chapter 6 Tutorials Note: Your EMG2926-Q10A has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use one or the other. Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button within two minutes of pressing the first one. The EMG2926-Q10A sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes.
Chapter 6 Tutorials 3 Click Start buttons (or button next to the PIN field) on both the wireless client utility screen and the EMG2926-Q10A’s WPS Station screen within two minutes. The EMG2926-Q10A authenticates the wireless client and sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the EMG2926-Q10A securely.
Chapter 6 Tutorials The instructions require that your hardware be connected (see the Quick Start Guide) and that you be logged into the Web Configurator through your LAN connection (see Section 2.2 on page 17). 1 Make sure the WIFI switch (at the side panel of the EMG2926-Q10A) is set to ON. 2 Open the Configuration > Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G > General screen in the AP’s Web Configurator. 3 Confirm that the wireless LAN is enabled on the EMG2926-Q10A.
Chapter 6 Tutorials 5 Open the Status screen. Verify your wireless and wireless security settings under Device Information and check if the WLAN connection is UP under Interface Status. 6.3.1 Configure Your Notebook Note: We use the ZyXEL NWD2205 wireless adapter utility screens as an example for the wireless client. The screens may vary for different models. 1 The EMG2926-Q10A supports IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n wireless clients.
Chapter 6 Tutorials 4 Select SSID_Example3 and click Connect. 5 Select AES and type the security key in the following screen. Click Next. 6 The Confirm Save window appears. Check your settings and click Save to continue.
Chapter 6 Tutorials 7 Check the status of your wireless connection in the screen below. If your wireless connection is weak or you have no connection, see the Troubleshooting section of this User’s Guide. If your connection is successful, open your Internet browser and enter http://www.zyxel.com or the URL of any other web site in the address bar. If you are able to access the web site, your wireless connection is successfully configured. 6.
Chapter 6 Tutorials For example, you may set up three wireless networks (A, B and C) in your office. A is for workers, B is for guests and C is specific to a VoIP device in the meeting room. A SSID_Worker C SSID_VoIP B SSID_Guest 6.4.1 Configuring Security Settings of Multiple SSIDs The EMG2926-Q10A is in router mode by default. This example shows you how to configure the SSIDs with the following parameters on your EMG2926-Q10A (in router mode).
Chapter 6 Tutorials 7 The Easy Mode appears. Click Expert Mode in the navigation panel. 8 Go to Configuration > Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G > More AP. Click the Edit icon of the first entry to configure wireless and security settings for SSID_Worker. 9 Configure the screen as follows. In this example, you enable Intra-BSS Traffic for SSID_Worker to allow wireless clients on the same wireless network to communicate with each other. Click Apply.
Chapter 6 Tutorials 11 Configure the screen as follows. You do not enable Intra-BSS Traffic for SSID_VoIP. Click Apply. 12 Click the Edit icon of the third entry to configure wireless and security settings for SSID_Guest. 13 Configure the screen as follows. In this example, you enable Intra-BSS Traffic for SSID_Guest to allow wireless clients on the same wireless network to communicate with each other. Select Enable Guest WLAN to allow clients to access the Internet only. Click Apply.
Chapter 6 Tutorials 14 Click the MAC Filter tab to configure MAC filtering for the SSID_VoIP wireless network. Select SSID_VoIP from the SSID Select drop-down list, enable MAC address filtering and set the Filter Action to Allow. Enter the VoIP device’s MAC address in the Mac Address field and click Apply to allow only the VoIP device to associate with the EMG2926-Q10A using this SSID.
