CHAPTER 1
Getting Started
This chapter introduces the G-120 and prepares you to use the ZyXEL utility.
1.1 About Your G-120
The G-120 is an IEEE 802.11b/g compliant wireless LAN adapter. You can also use the
ZyXEL utility to turn your G-120 into an access point (AP). The ZyXEL utility is a tool that
helps you configure your G-120. See the appendix for detailed product specifications.
1.2 Application Overview
This section describes some network applications for the G-120.
1.2.1 Station Mode
The G-120 acts as a wireless LAN adapter (station mode) by default. In station mode, you can
either set the network type to Infrastructure and connect to an AP or use Ad-Hoc mode and
connect to a peer computer (another wireless device in Ad-Hoc mode) without an AP. See
Section 4.4 on page 52 for how to configure the network type.
1.2.1.1 Infrastructure
To connect to a network via an access point (AP), set the G-120 network type to
Infrastructure. Through the AP, you can access the Internet or the wired network behind the
AP.
