P-2802H(W)(L)-I Series User’s Guide

With ZyXEL’s OTIST, you set up the SSID and the encryption (WEP or WPA-PSK) on the 
ZyXEL Device. Then, the ZyXEL Device transfers them to the devices in the wireless 
networks. As a result, you do not have to set up the SSID and encryption on every device in 
the wireless network.
The devices in the wireless network have to support OTIST, and they have to be in range of the 
ZyXEL Device when you activate it. See 

 for more details.

The following table describes wireless network terms and acronyms used in the ZyXEL 
Device’s Web Configurator.

If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer connected to the 
wireless LAN and you change the ZyXEL Device’s SSID or security settings, 
you will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. You 
must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the ZyXEL 
Device’s new settings.

Table 29   Additional Wireless Terms

RTS/CTS Threshold

In a wireless network which covers a large area, wireless devices are 

sometimes not aware of each other’s presence.  This may cause them to send 

information to the AP at the same time and result in information colliding and 

not getting through.
By setting this value lower than the default value, the wireless devices must 

sometimes get permission to send information to the ZyXEL Device. The 

lower the value, the more often the devices must get permission.
If this value is greater than the fragmentation threshold value (see below), 

then wireless devices never have to get permission to send information to the 

ZyXEL Device.

Preamble

A preamble affects the timing in your wireless network. There are two 

preamble modes: long and short.

 

If a device uses a different preamble mode 

than the ZyXEL Device does, it cannot communicate with the ZyXEL Device.

Authentication

The process of verifying whether a wireless device is allowed to use the 

wireless network.

Fragmentation 

Threshold

A small fragmentation threshold is recommended for busy networks, while a 

larger threshold provides faster performance if the network is not very busy.
