Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your G-560
OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology)
OTIST allows your G-560 to assign its SSID and security settings (WEP or WPA-PSK) to the
ZyXEL wireless adapters that support OTIST and are within transmission range. The ZyXEL
wireless adapters must also have OTIST enabled.
10/100M Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface
This auto-negotiating feature allows the G-560 to detect the speed of incoming transmissions
and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
10/100M Auto-crossover Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface
The LAN interface automatically adjusts to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet
cable.
Reset Button
The G-560 reset button is built into the rear panel. Use this button to restore the factory default
password.
802.11g Wireless LAN Standard
The ZyXEL wireless products containing the letter "G" in the model name, such as G-560 and
G-162, comply with the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard.
IEEE 802.11g is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard. This means an IEEE
802.11b radio card can interface directly with an IEEE 802.11g access point (and vice versa)
at 11 Mbps or lower depending on range.
Wi-Fi Protected Access
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. Key differences
between WPA and WEP are user authentication and improved data encryption.
WPA2
WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption,
authentication and key management than WPA.
WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service)
WMM QoS allows you to prioritize wireless traffic according to the delivery requirements of
the individual and applications.
