10.7.1 SSID Profile
Configure wireless network security by configuring and applying an SSID profile. You can
configure multiple profiles but you can only apply one to your network.
Use the WIRELESS CARD screen to see information about the SSID profiles on the
ZyWALL, and use the WIRELESS CARD > Edit screen to configure the SSID profiles.
Each SSID profile references the settings configured in the following screens:
• WIRELESS CARD > Security (one of the security profiles).
• AUTH SERVER > RADIUS (the RADIUS server settings).
• WIRELESS CARD > MAC Filter (the MAC filter list, if activated in the SSID profile).
Configure the fields in the above screens to use the settings in an SSID profile.
In the Wireless Card screen, click the Edit icon next to an SSID profile to display the
following screen.
Select SSID
Profile
An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the ZyWALL’s BSSs. The
SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless client is
associated. Wireless clients associating with the access point (AP) must have the
same SSID.
Note: If you are configuring the ZyWALL from a computer connected
to the wireless LAN and you change the ZyWALL’s SSID or
security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when
you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless
settings of your computer to match the ZyWALL’s new settings.
# This field displays the index number of each SSID profile.
Active Choose a profile to apply to your wireless network by selecting its radio button.
Name This field displays the identification name of each SSID profile on the ZyWALL.
SSID This field displays the name of the wireless profile on the network. When a wireless

profile. See Section 10.8 on page 188 for more information.

configuration screen.
