5 Introduction to OTIST
In a wireless network, the wireless clients must have the same SSID and security
settings as the access point (AP) or wireless router (we will refer to both as “AP”
here) in order to associate with it. Traditionally this meant that you had to configure
the settings on the AP and then manually configure the exact same settings on each
wireless client.
OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology) allows you to transfer your
AP’s SSID and WEP or WPA-PSK security settings to wireless clients that support
OTIST and are within transmission range. You can also choose to have OTIST
generate a WPA-PSK key for you if you didn’t configure one manually.
6 Enabling OTIST
You must enable OTIST on both the AP and wireless client before you start
transferring settings.
We use the Prestige 334WT and the G-162 screens in this guide as an example.
Screens may vary slightly for your ZyXEL devices.

)The AP and wireless client(s) MUST use the same Setup
key.
6.1 AP
You can enable OTIST using the Reset button or the web configurator. If you use
the Reset button, the default (01234567) or previous saved (through the web
configurator) Setup key is used to encrypt the settings that you want to transfer.
Hold in the Reset button for one or two seconds.
)If you hold in the Reset button too long, the device will
reset to the factory defaults!
In the web configurator, go to the Wireless LAN main screen and then select
OTIST. To change the Setup key, enter zero to eight printable characters. To have
OTIST automatically generate a WPA-PSK key, select the Yes check box. If you
manually configured a WEP key or a WPA-PSK key and you also selected this
check box, then the key you manually configured is used.
