1 Introducing the ZyAIR 

The ZyAIR Hot Spot Gateway combines an IEEE 802.11g 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. 

For your safety, be sure to read and follow all warning notices and instructions.
