9.1 Standards Supported
The following list, which is not exhaustive, illustrates the standards supported in the
NWA570N.
Roaming If you have two or more NWA570Ns (or other wireless access points) on
your wireless network, you can enable this option so that wireless
devices can change locations without having to log in again. This is
useful for devices, such as notebooks, that move around a lot.
WDS Functionality A Distribution System (DS) is a wired connection between two or more
APs, while a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a wireless
connection. Your NWA570N supports WDS connections to other
NWA570N APs. This provides a cost-effective solution for wireless
network expansion.
Wireless LAN MAC Address
Filtering
Your NWA570N 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 NWA570N to access your wired
network. When the NWA570N is in client mode, the wireless association
list displays a list of wireless devices and networks in the area.
Output Power Management Output Power Management is the ability to set the level of output power.
There may be interference or difficulty with channel assignment when
there is a high density of APs within a coverage area. In this case you
can lower the output power of each access point, thus enabling you to
place access points closer together.
Limit the Number of Client
Connections
You may set a maximum number of wireless stations that may connect
to the NWA570N. This may be necessary if for example, there is
interference or difficulty with channel assignment due to a high density of
APs within a coverage area.
Firmware Upgrade Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web site and
use the web configurator, an FTP or a TFTP tool to put it on the
NWA570N.
Note: Only upload firmware for your specific model!
Configuration Backup &
Restoration
Make a copy of the NWA570N’s configuration and put it back on the
NWA570N later if you decide you want to revert back to an earl i er
configuration.
