STP (Spanning Tree
Protocol) / RSTP (Rapid
STP)
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links
between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact with
other (R)STP-compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one
path exists between any two stations on the network.
WMM QoS WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service) allows you to prioritize
wireless traffic.
Certificates The ZyXEL Device can use certificates (also called digital IDs) to
authenticate users. Certificates are based on public-private key pairs.
Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for use in
authentication.
SSL Passthrough SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) uses a public key to encrypt data that's
transmitted over an SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator and
Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to
obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By
convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with “https”
instead of “http”. The ZyXEL Device allows SSL connections to take
place through the ZyXEL Device.
MAC Address Filter Your ZyXEL Device checks the MAC address of the wireless station
against a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses.
Wireless Association List With the wireless association list, you can see the list of the wireless
stations that are currently using the ZyXEL Device to access your wired
network.
Logging and Tracing Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
Embedded FTP and TFTP
Servers
The embedded FTP and TFTP servers enable fast firmware upgrades
as well as configuration file backups and restoration.
Auto Configuration Administrators can use text configuration files to configure the wireless
LAN settings for multiple APs. The AP can automatically get a
configuration file from a TFTP server at start up or after renewing DHCP
client information.
SNMP SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for
exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP
is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your ZyXEL Device supports
SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manger station to manage and
monitor the ZyXEL Device through the network. The ZyXEL Device
supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c).
The NWA-3165 also supports version 3 (SNMPv3).
DFS DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) allows a wider choice of 802.11a
wireless channels.
CAPWAP (Control and
Provisioning of Wireless
Access Points)
The ZyXEL Device can be managed via CAPWAP, which allows multiple
APs to be configured and managed by a single AP controller.
