Figure 76 No AP with OTIST Found

• If there is more than one OTIST-enabled AP within range, you see a screen asking you to

select one AP to get settings from.

9.5.3 Notes on OTIST

1 If you enabled OTIST in the wireless client, you see this screen each time you start the

utility. Click Yes for it to search for an OTIST-enabled AP.

Figure 77 Start OTIST?

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 to five 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 wireless clients again.

9.6 MAC Filter

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the ZyXEL Device to give exclusive access to
up to 32 devices (Allow) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the ZyXEL Device
(Deny). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC
address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for
example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of the devices to configure
this screen.
