ZyXEL Communications ZYAIR B-2000 User manual

Wireless LAN Gateway with 4-port Switch
The ZyAIR B-2000 is the ideal networking
solution for home and small businesses,
providing wireless access to computer networks
with high-speed broadband Internet connection.
With the combination of Access Point and a
10/100 Mbps 4-port switch, your wireless
network can be extended without an additional
hub or switch. The built-in NAT and DHCP
functions enable multiple users to share one
public IP address, maximizing network efficiency
while minimizing network investment and
maintenance costs.
Based on the IEEE 802.1x authentication
framework, the ZyAIR B-2000 provides your
network with solid security, protecting your data
while simultaneously preventing hackers from
accessing your wireless LAN. IEEE 802.11b
compliance and Wi-Fi certification ensures that
the ZyAIR B-2000 will be interoperable with any
802.11b and Wi-Fi compliant wireless device.
With its fantastic design and powerful features in
one compact unit, the ZyAIR B-2000 wireless
LAN gateway provides a high quality,
comprehensive networking solution that allows
efficient, secure, and reliable communication.
High Level of Network Access Security Based on IEEE 802.1x and
RADIUS Client
The ZyAIR B-2000 security architecture is based on the IEEE 802.1x
standard for wireless networks. IEEE 802.1x, Port-Based Network
Access Control, is based on Extensible Authentication Protocol
services that provide centralized, user-based authentication and
single-user, single-session encryption keys for hassle-free security
administration and user-based privacy. In addition, MAC address
filtering allows the network manager to maintain a user name list in
order to identify who can access the network through the wireless
LAN.
User-friendly Installation and Configuration
With an auto-run, Easy Setup Wizard, installation is quick and
simple. Consequently, networking experts are not needed to pull
cables through the walls and ceilings of your home or office, thus
saving time and money. Additionally, the Web-based configurator
allows you to easily configure and manage your device in ways you
never thought possible.
All-in-One Solution
The ZyAIR B-2000 integrates an Access Point, 4-port switch, and
NAT router, as well as a variable antenna into one compact unit.
Moreover, the ZyAIR B-2000 also allows a multiple-user connection
to the Internet, using a single purchased IP address with Network
Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) functionalities.
High-gain Design Provides Seamless Link Quality
The ZyAIR B-2000's high-gain design provides excellent link quality
and longer reach distance throughout your wireless LAN
infrastructure, and allows users to share network resources. A high-
quality wireless connection is still available even under a disturbed
environment. With the ZyAIR B-2000, you can truly take your
laptop anywhere in the vicinity of your home or office, and enjoy
network access at anytime.

The ZyAIR B-2000 offers you the features and qualities of an
enterprise-class wireless gateway, while maintaining a competitive
price. You can now benefit from high-quality wireless networking
access with a minimal investment.

Local Area Network and high-speed Internet
access. Moreover, it can also extend your
Ethernet network in your home or office, allowing
