6.5 OTIST
In a wireless network, the wireless clients must have the same SSID and security settings as
the access point (AP) or wireless router (we will refer to both as “AP” here) in order to
associate with it. Traditionally this meant that you had to configure the settings on the AP and
then manually configure the exact same settings on each wireless client.

associate with it. Traditionally this meant that you had to configure the settings on the AP and
then manually configure the exact same settings on each wireless client.
OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology) allows you to transfer your AP’s SSID
and WPA-PSK security settings to wireless clients that support OTIST and are within
transmission range. You can also choose to have OTIST generate a WPA-PSK key for you if
you didn’t configure one manually.

Note: OTIST replaces the pre-configured wireless settings on the wireless clients.

You must enable OTIST on both the AP and wireless client before you start transferring

802.11 Mode
Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the ZyXEL Device.
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the ZyXEL Device.
Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices
Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices
to associate with the ZyXEL Device. The transmission rate of your ZyXEL Device
might be reduced.
Enable 802.11g+
mode
Select the Enable 802.11g+ mode checkbox to allow any ZyXEL WLAN devices
that support this feature to associate with the ZyXEL Device at higher transmission
speeds. This permits the ZyXEL Device to transmit at a higher speed than the
802.11g Only mode.
Max. Frame
Burst
Enable Maximum Frame Burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode networks
(networks with both IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b traffic) and enhance the
performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/g networks.
Maximum Frame Burst sets the maximum time, in micro-seconds, that the ZyXEL
Device transmits IEEE 802.11g wireless traffic only.
Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800
Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800
recommended). Enter 0 to disable this feature.
