. Radio
Radio page contains five modes, including AP, Client, DS, AP+ DS and Repeater.
Here are some basic settings:
Radio Band: Select from 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11b/g
Radio Mode: Select from AP, Client, DS, AP+ DS and Repeater. Default value is
AP mode.
Booster mode: Boost Mode enhances throughput an additional 30% at 54Mbps.
SSID: SSID is the unique ID name of your wireless network. Default value is zonet.
Broadcast SSID: Enable/disable the SSID broadcast
Region: Select from Asia, USA and Europe.
ABS: After select ABS(Auto Best Space) mode, ZE 3003 will search best channel in
current wireless environment when starting up.
Channel: Select the operating channel for your wireless network.

12
. .1 AP
IAPP: Enable it to allow wireless station roaming between IAPP enabled access
points within the same wireless LAN.
In AP mode, ZE 3003 will act as a central hub for different wireless LAN clients. For
example, when traveling to a hotel that has high-speed internet access, you can connect
to the internet through ZE 3003 which is connected to an Ethernet cable in the room.

13
. .2 Client
SSID: Default value is default.
Network Type: Select from Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc. Default setting is
Infrastructure.
In Client mode, ZE 3003 associates with another AP within its range. The device
behaves like a wireless network adapter.
Figure below shows the Client mode ZE 3003 as a wireless client in infrastructure mode.
Connect the LAN port of the ZE 3003 with Ethernet interface of the wired network.

14
. .3 WDS
In DS mode, two ZE 3003 in two remote locations connect with each other to provide
a wireless bridge between 2 wired networks. The two ZE 3003 operating in DS mode
do not allow client associations. It is mostly used by enterprise to connect 2 remote
office’s network together.
Note: WD mode only can be enabled on two or more ZEW3003 networking environment.

15
. . AP+WDS
In AP+ DS mode, ZE 3003 will work both in AP mode and DS mode. It supports the
wireless bridge between the two wired networks; the connection of wireless network is
also supported at the same time. The part of AP's encryption in accordance with the
encryption of AP mode. The part of DS' encryption in accordance with the encryption of
DS mode.
Note: teps to configured AP+WD mode:
1. Configured AP mode parameters.
2. Configured WD mode parameters.
3. Enabled AP+WD mode.

16
. .5 Repeater
Repeater-SSID: The name for your repeater.
IAPP: Enable it to allow wireless station roaming between IAPP enabled access
points within the same wireless LAN.
A repeater is placed between an AP and a client to extend the distance between the two
LAN devices. Functioning as a repeater, ZE 3003 connects to both a client card as an
AP and to another AP. In typical repeater applications, APs connecting to other APs
equipped with DS functionality must also support DS.
Figure below shows an example of a Repeater network with two ZE 3003 Repeaters
connected to a ZE 3003 (AP mode), with each Repeater allowing wireless clients to
associate.
Note: Repeater mode only can be enabled on two or more ZEW3003 networking environment.

17
.5 Security
Securit page contains eight Authentication Types, including None, EP, PA SOHO
USER, PA2 SOHO USER, and PA& PA2 SOHO USER.
.5.1 None
Default setting is None.
.5.2 WEP
EP ( ired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method used to protect your wireless
data communications. EP uses a combination of 64-bit or 128-bit keys to provide
access control to your network and encryption security for every data transmission.
Accessorial Authentication & Encryption: Select from Open S stem,
Shared Ke and Auto Select. Shared Key requires the same EP keys between
ZE 3003 and work station.
Key Length: The higher the encryption bit, the more secure your network.
WEP Mode:
ASCII: Enter 13 characters with case sensitive ("a-z", "A-Z" and "0-9").
Hex: enter 26 Hex characters ("A-F", "a-f" and “0~9”).

18
Key1, 2, 3, : Input EP key characters here, the number of characters must be
the same as the number displayed at EP Mode. You must enter at least one
encryption key here, and if you entered multiple EP keys, they should not be same
with each other.
.5.3 802.1X Enterprise
This security mode is used when a RADIUS server is connected to ZE 3003. IEEE
802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to
ZE 3003 before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a
RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not
encryption the data during communication.
Radius Server IP: Input the IP address of Radius server here.
Radius Port: Input the port number of the Radius server here. Default value is
1812.
Radius Password: Input the password of Radius server here.
WEP: Select enable 64 bit WEP, 128 bit WEP or Disable EP encryption which
indicates the authentication process between wireless adapter and ZE 3003.
