About Your ZyXEL G-162
The ZyXEL G-162 is an IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless LAN PC card that fits
into any CardBus slot. With the ZyXEL G-162, you can enjoy the wireless mobility
within the coverage area. The IEEE 802.11g technology provides greater range and
offers transmission rate at up to 54 Mbps. Your ZyXEL G-162 can transmit at the
proprietary transmission rates of 22Mbps or up to 125 Mbps when connected to the
ZyXEL g+ AP or wireless router. Actual speeds attained also depend on the distance
from the AP, noise, etc.

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.

ENGLISH
8
)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.

ENGLISH

6.2 Wireless Client
Start the ZyXEL Utility and click the Adapter tab. Select the OTIST check box,
enter the same Setup Key as your AP’s and click Save.

ENGLISH
10
6.3 Starting OTIST
)You must click Start in the AP OTIST web configurator
screen and in the wireless client(s) Adapter screen all within
three minutes (at the time of writing). You can start OTIST in
the wireless clients and AP in any order but they must all be
within range and have OTIST enabled.
1. In the AP, a web configurator screen pops up showing you the security
settings to transfer. After reviewing the settings, click OK.

ENGLISH
11
2. This screen appears while OTIST settings are being transferred. It closes
when the transfer is complete.
¾In the wireless client, you see this screen if it can't find an OTIST-
enabled AP (with the same Setup key). Click OK to go back to the
ZyXEL Utility main screen.
¾If there is more than one OTIST-enabled AP within range, you see a
screen asking you to select one AP to get settings from.

7 Notes on OTIST
1. If you enabled OTIST in the wireless client, you see this screen each time
you start the ZyXEL Utility. Click Yes for it to search for an OTIST-
enabled AP.
2. If an OTIST-enabled wireless client loses its wireless connection for more
than ten seconds, it will search for an OTIST-enabled AP for up to one
minute. (If you manually have the wireless client search for an OTIST-
enabled AP, there is no timeout; click Cancel in the OTIST progress screen
to stop the search.)
3. When the wireless client finds an OTIST-enabled AP, you must still click
Start in the AP OTIST web configurator screen or hold in the Reset button
(for one or two seconds) for the AP to transfer settings.
4. If you change the SSID or the keys on the AP after using OTIST, you need
to run OTIST again or enter them manually in the wireless client(s).
5. If you configure OTIST to generate a WPA-PSK key, this key changes
each time you run OTIST. Therefore, if a new wireless client joins your
wireless network, you need to run OTIST on the AP and ALL the wireless
clients again.

8 Troubleshooting
PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
Make sure the ZyXEL G-162 is inserted into the computer
CardBus slot properly and then restart your computer. Check
the LEDs on the ZyXEL G-162.
Perform a hardware scan by clicking Start, Settings, Control
Panel and double-clicking Add/Remove Hardware. (Steps
may vary depending on the version of Windows).
Follow the on-screen instructions to search for the ZyXEL G-
162 and install the driver.

Settings, Control Panel, System, Hardware and then click
Device Manager. Verify the status of the ZyXEL G-162 under
Network Adapter. (Steps may vary depending on the version
of Windows).
Windows does not
auto-detect the
ZyXEL G-162.
Install the ZyXEL G-162 in another computer. If the error
persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you
should contact your local vendor.
