H17. What is 802.1x?

IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Network Access Control is an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics

Engineers) standard, which specifies a standard mechanism for authenticating, at the link layer (Layer

2), users' access to IEEE 802 networks such as Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) and Wireless LAN (IEEE

802.11). For IEEE 802.11 WLAN, IEEE 802.1x authentication can be based on username/password or

digital certificate.

H18. Can I use WiFi access when I plug a 3G wireless card in the PCMCIA slot ?

Yes, since ZyWALL 2WG supports an embedded wireless card for 802.11a/b/g wireless access.
