Wireless Security Screen
7.1  Overview
This chapter describes how to use the Wireless Security screen. This screen allows you to 
configure the security mode for your ZyXEL Device.
Wireless security is vital to your network. It protects communications between wireless 
stations, access points and the wired network. 
Figure 31   Securing the Wireless Network
In the figure above, the ZyXEL Device checks the identity of devices before giving them 
access to the network. In this scenario, Computer A  is denied access to the network, while 
Computer B is granted connectivity.
The ZyXEL Device secure communications via data encryption, wireless client authentication 
and MAC address filtering. It can also hide its identity in the network.
7.2  What You Can Do in the Wireless Security Screen
Use the Wireless > Security screen (see

for your ZyXEL Device.
