1.2.5 Pre-Configured SSID Profiles

The ZyXEL Device has two pre-configured SSID profiles.

1 VoIP_SSID. This profile is intended for use by wireless clients requiring the highest

QoS (Quality of Service) level for VoIP (Voice over IP) telephony and other applications
requiring low latency. The QoS level of this profile is not user-configurable. See

Chapter

7 on page 91

for more information on QoS.

2 Guest_SSID. This profile is intended for use by visitors and others who require access

to certain resources on the network (an Internet gateway or a network printer, for
example) but must not have access to the rest of the network. Layer 2 isolation is enabled
(see

Section 10.1 on page 129

), and QoS is set to NONE. Intra-BSS traffic blocking is

also enabled (see

Section 9.2 on page 125

). These fields are all user-configurable.

1.2.6 Configuring Dual WLAN Adaptors

The ZyXEL Device is equipped with dual wireless adaptors. This means you can configure
two different wireless networks to operate simultaneously.
In the following example, the ZyXEL Device (Z) uses WLAN1 in Access Point mode to
allow IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g clients to access the wired network, and WLAN2 in
AP+Bridge mode to allow an IEEE 802.11a AP to communicate with the wired network.
