These screens close when the transfer is complete.

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

utility. Click Yes to search for an OTIST-enabled AP (in other words, the ZyXEL 
Device).

Figure 60   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 After the wireless client finds an OTIST-enabled AP, you must click Start in the ZyXEL 

Device’s Network > Wireless LAN > OTIST screen or hold in the Reset button on the 
ZyXEL Device for one or two seconds to transfer the settings again.

4 If you change the SSID or the keys on the ZyXEL Device 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 OTIST-enabled wireless client joins your wireless network, 
you need to run OTIST on the AP and ALL wireless clients again.

Use this screen to enable and configure MAC filtering in your wireless network. To open this 
screen, click Network > Wireless LAN > MAC Filter.
