Getting to Know Your ZyAIR
This chapter introduces the features and applications of the ZyAIR.
1.1 Introducing the ZyAIR
The ZyAIR Hot Spot Gateway combines an 802.11b wireless access point, router, 4-port switch and service
gateway in one box. An “exclusive printer” connects directly to the ZyAIR, allowing you to easily print
subscriber statements. The ZyAIR is ideal for offices, coffee shops, libraries, hotels and airport terminals
catering to subscribers that seek Internet access. You should have an Internet account already set up and
have been given usernames, passwords etc. required for Internet access.
1.2 Features
Your ZyAIR provides the following features to accommodate subscribers with a variety of network
configurations with little or no technical support.
Plug-and-Play Internet Access
The ZyAIR provides Internet access to attached computer(s) without extra software installation or
computer configuration. In addition, with transparent proxy, the ZyAIR resolves any incompatible proxy
settings.
WEP Data Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless network to
help keep network communications private. The ZyAIR supports 64, 128 and 256-bit WEP encryption.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) Pass Through
The ZyAIR allows subscribers to create VPN networks (which use data encryption and the Internet to
provide secure communications) that go through the ZyAIR.
VLAN
The ZyAIR can use VLANs (Virtual Local Area Network) to partition the physical network into multiple
logical networks in order to stop subscribers from seeing each other’s data. The ZyAIR also provides a
port-based VLAN via the four 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet ports.
