M-302 User’s Guide Figure 2 Application: Infrastructure 1.1.1.2 Ad-Hoc If you want to set up a small independent wireless workgroup without an AP, use Ad-Hoc mode. Ad-Hoc mode does not require an AP or a wired network. Two or more wireless clients communicate directly with each other.
M-302 User’s Guide 1.2 M-302 Hardware and Utility Installation Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to install the ZyXEL utility and make hardware connections. 1.3 ZyXEL Utility Icon After you install and start the ZyXEL utility, an icon for the ZyXEL utility appears in the system tray. Figure 4 ZyXEL utility: System Tray Icon Note: The ZyXEL utility system tray icon displays only when the M-302 is installed properly.
M-302 User’s Guide 1.5 Enabling WZC Note: When you use the ZyXEL utility, it automatically disables WZC. If you want to use WZC to configure the M-302, you need to disable the ZyXEL utility by right-clicking the utility icon ( ) in the system tray and selecting Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings. Figure 5 Enable WZC To reactivate the ZyXEL utility, double-click the icon and click OK. Figure 6 Enable ZyXEL Utility Refer to the appendices on how to use WZC to manage the M-302. 1.5.
M-302 User’s Guide 24 Chapter 1 Getting Started
M-302 User’s Guide CHAPTER 2 Tutorial The following sections show you how to join a wireless network using the ZyXEL utility, as in the following diagram. The wireless client is labeled C and the access point is labeled AP. There are three ways to connect the wireless client to a network. • Configure nothing and leave the wireless client to automatically scan for and connect to any available network that has no wireless security configured. • Manually connect to a network.
M-302 User’s Guide Figure 7 ZyXEL Utility: Site Survey 2 The wireless client automatically searches for available wireless networks. Click Scan if you want to search again. If no entry displays in the Available Network List, that means there is no wireless network available within range. Make sure the AP or peer computer is turned on, or move the wireless client closer to the AP or peer computer.
M-302 User’s Guide Figure 9 ZyXEL Utility: Confirm Save 5 The ZyXEL Utility returns to the Link Info screen while it connects to the wireless network using your settings. When the wireless link is established, the ZyXEL Utility icon in the system tray turns green and the Link Info screen displays details of the active connection. Check the network information in the Link Info screen to verify that you have successfully connected to the selected network.
M-302 User’s Guide 1 Open the ZyXEL utility and click the Profile tab to open the screen shown next. Click Add to configure a new profile. Figure 11 ZyXEL Utility: Profile 2 The Add New Profile screen appears. The wireless client automatically searches for available wireless networks, which are displayed in the Scan Info box. You can also configure your profile for a wireless network that is not in the list.
M-302 User’s Guide 5 This screen varies depending on the encryption method you selected in the previous screen. In this example, enter the pre-shared key and leave the encryption type at the default setting. Figure 14 ZyXEL Utility: Profile Encryption 6 In the next screen, leave both boxes checked. Figure 15 ZyXEL Utility: Wireless Protocol Settings. 7 Verify the profile settings in the read-only screen. Click Save to save and go to the next screen.
M-302 User’s Guide Note: Only one profile can be activated and used at any given time. Figure 17 ZyXEL Utility: Profile Success 9 When you activate the new profile, the ZyXEL Utility goes to the Link Info screen while it connects to the AP using your settings. When the wireless link is established, the ZyXEL Utility icon in the system tray turns green and the Link Info screen displays details of the active connection. 10Open your Internet browser, enter http://www.zyxel.
M-302 User’s Guide CHAPTER 3 Wireless LAN Network This chapter provides background information on wireless LAN networks. 3.1 Wireless LAN Overview The following figure provides an example of a wireless network with an AP. See Figure 3 on page 21 for an Ad Hoc network example. Figure 18 Example of a Wireless Network The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are called wireless clients.
M-302 User’s Guide • Every device in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP or peer computer. Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. 3.2 Wireless LAN Security Wireless LAN security is vital to your network to protect wireless communications. Configure the wireless LAN security using the Profile Security Settings screen.
M-302 User’s Guide 3.2.1.1.2 Authentication Type The IEEE 802.11b/g standard describes a simple authentication method between the wireless stations and AP. Three authentication types are defined: Auto, Open System and Shared Key. • Open System mode is implemented for ease-of-use and when security is not an issue. The wireless station and the AP or peer computer do not share a secret key (WEP key).
M-302 User’s Guide Select WEP only when the AP and/or wireless clients do not support WPA. WEP is less secure than WPA.
M-302 User’s Guide CHAPTER 4 ZyXEL Utility Configuration This chapter shows you how to configure your M-302. 4.1 ZyXEL Utility Screen This section describes the ZyXEL utility screens.

M-302 User’s Guide 72 Appendix B
M-302 User’s Guide APPENDIX C Wireless Security Types of EAP Authentication This section discusses some popular authentication types: EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP and LEAP. Your wireless LAN device may not support all authentication types. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol that runs on top of the IEEE 802.1x transport mechanism in order to support multiple types of user authentication.
M-302 User’s Guide EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security) With EAP-TLS, digital certifications are needed by both the server and the wireless stations for mutual authentication. The server presents a certificate to the client. After validating the identity of the server, the client sends a different certificate to the server. The exchange of certificates is done in the open before a secured tunnel is created. This makes user identity vulnerable to passive attacks.
M-302 User’s Guide For added security, certificate-based authentications (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP) use dynamic keys for data encryption. They are often deployed in corporate environments, but for public deployment, a simple user name and password pair is more practical. The following table is a comparison of the features of authentication types.
M-302 User’s Guide The Message Integrity Check (MIC) is designed to prevent an attacker from capturing data packets, altering them and resending them. The MIC provides a strong mathematical function in which the receiver and the transmitter each compute and then compare the MIC. If they do not match, it is assumed that the data has been tampered with and the packet is dropped.
M-302 User’s Guide Figure 56 WPA-PSK Authentication WPA with RADIUS Application Example You need the IP address of the RADIUS server, its port number (default is 1812), and the RADIUS shared secret. A WPA application example with an external RADIUS server looks as follows. "A" is the RADIUS server. "DS" is the distribution system. 1 The AP passes the wireless client's authentication request to the RADIUS server.
M-302 User’s Guide Security Parameters Summary Refer to this table to see what other security parameters you should configure for each Authentication Method/ key management protocol type. MAC address filters are not dependent on how you configure these security features.
