    style G fill:#cce5ff,stroke:#333

The WAP7205 also comes with one coaxial port that supports MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) technology (see Chapter 9 on page 59).

Use a (supported) web browser to manage the WAP7205.

1.2 Securing the WAP7205

Do the following things regularly to make the WAP7205 more secure and to manage the WAP7205 more effectively.

  • Change the password. Use a password that's not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
  • Write down the password and put it in a safe place.

- Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the WAP7205 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WAP7205. You could simply restore your last configuration.

1.3 LEDs

The following sections describes the LEDs on the WAP7205.

The following figure is the front panel of the WAP7205. Use the LEDs to determine if the WAP7205 is behaving normally or if there are some problems on your network.

1.4 Resetting the WAP7205

If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, press the RESET button for more than 5 seconds to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to the default key on the label behind the ZYXEL logo plate.

1.4.1 RESET Button

1 Make sure the power LED is on.
2 Press and hold the RESET button. After 5 seconds, the power LED begins flashing.
3 Release the RESET button. The WAP7205 reloads factory defaults and begins to reboot.

1.5 WPS Button

Your WAP7205 supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device's documentation to make sure).

Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves.

1.6 Wall Mounting

You may need screw anchors if mounting on a concrete or brick wall.

Table 2 Wall Mounting Information

Distance between holes 5.7 cm
M4 Screws Two
Screw anchors (optional) Two

1 Select a position free of obstructions on a wall strong enough to hold the weight of the device.
2 Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.

Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall when drilling holes for the screws.

3 If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the anchors into the full depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm.
4 If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.
5 Make sure the screws are fastened well enough to hold the weight of the WAP7205 with the connection cables.
6 Remove the cover of the wall mounting holes. Align the holes on the back of the WAP7205 with the screws on the wall. Hang the WAP7205 on the screws.

CHAPTER 5 Tutorials

5.1 Overview

This chapter provides tutorials for your WAP7205 as follows:

  • Connecting to the WAP7205's Wi-Fi Network Using WPS
  • Connecting to the WAP7205's Wi-Fi Network Using SSID (No WPS)
    • Using Multiple SSIDs on the WAP7205

5.2 Connecting to the WAP7205's Wi-Fi Network Using WPS

This section gives you an example of how to set up a wireless network using WPS. This example uses the WAP7205 as the AP and a WPS-enabled Android smartphone as the wireless client.

There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do both.

  • Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a button. See Section 5.2.1 on page 23. This is the easier method.
  • PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the WAP7205's interface. See Section 5.2.2 on page 24. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.

5.2.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)

1 Make sure that your WAP7205 is turned on and that it is within range of your wireless client.
2 WPS is enabled by default on the WAP7205. If not, log into WAP7205's Web Configurator and turn it on in the Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G or 5G > WPS screen. You can either press the WPS button on the WAP7205's panel or press the Push Button button in the Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G or 5G > WPS Station screen.
3 Go to your phone settings and turn on Wi-Fi. Open the Wi-Fi networks list and tap WPS Push Button or the WPS icon ( ).

Note: It doesn't matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button within two minutes of pressing the first one.

The WAP7205 sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the WAP7205 securely.

The following figure shows you how to set up wireless network and security by pressing a button on both WAP7205 and wireless client (the Android smartphone in this example).

5.2.2 PIN Configuration

When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to check the client's PIN number and use the WAP7205's configuration interface.

1 Go to your phone settings and turn on Wi-Fi. Open the Wi-Fi networks list and tap WPS PIN Entry to get a PIN number.
2 Enter the client's PIN number to the PIN field in the Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G or 5G > WPS Station screen on the WAP7205.
3 Click the Start button (or button next to the PIN field) on the WAP7205's WPS Station screen within two minutes.

The WAP7205 authenticates the wireless client and sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the WAP7205 securely.

The following figure shows you how to set up wireless network and security on the WAP7205 and wireless client (the Android smartphone in this example) by using PIN method.

8 If the wireless client keeps trying to connect to or acquiring an IP address from the WAP7205, make sure you entered the correct security key.

If the connection has limited or no connectivity, make sure the WAP7205 is connected to a router with the DHCP server enabled.

If your connection is successful, open your Internet browser and enter http://www.zyxel.com or the URL of any other web site in the address bar. If you are able to access the web site, your wireless connection is successfully configured.

5.4 Using Multiple SSIDs on the WAP7205

You can configure more than one SSID on a WAP7205. This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the WAP7205 as if there were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID, wireless security type and MAC filtering settings. That is, each SSID on the WAP7205 represents a different access point/wireless network to wireless clients in the network.

Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the WAP7205 (such as a printer), but they cannot listen to each other's traffic.

For example, you may set up three wireless networks (A, B and C) in your office. A is for workers, B is for guests and C is specific to a VoIP device in the meeting room.

The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices (such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your WAP7205 is the AP.

7.2 What You Can Do

  • Use the General screen (Section 7.4 on page 41) to turn the wireless connection on or off, enter the SSID, select the channel, and configure wireless security between the WAP7205 and the wireless clients.
  • Use the More AP screen (Section 7.4 on page 41) to enable and configure multiple wireless networks on the WAP7205.

  • Use the MAC Filter screen (Section 7.7 on page 49) to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from connecting to the WAP7205.

  • Use the Advanced screen (Section 7.8 on page 50) to configure wireless advanced features, such as set the RTS/CTS Threshold and HT physical mode.
  • Use the QoS screen (Section 7.9 on page 51) to enable WiFi MultiMedia Quality of Service (WMMQoS). This allows the WAP7205 to automatically set priority levels to services, such as e-mail, VoIP, chat, and so on.
  • Use the WPS screen (Section 7.10 on page 52) to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually.
  • Use the WPS Station screen (Section 7.11 on page 53) to add a wireless station using WPS.
  • Use the Scheduling screen (Section 7.12 on page 53) to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on and off.

7.3 What You Should Know

Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.

  • Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.
    The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.
  • If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.
    Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information.
  • Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.
    Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.

7.3.1 Wireless Security Overview

The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network.

7.3.1.1 SSID

Normally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.

This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network.

7.3.1.2 MAC Address Filter

Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address. ^1 A MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters ^2 ; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.

To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User's Guide or other documentation.

You can use the MAC address filter to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed or not allowed to use the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings.

This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized wireless client. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network.

7.3.1.3 WPS

WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the device itself) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by themselves.

7.4 General Wireless LAN Screen

Use this screen to enable or disable the WLAN, enter the SSID, select the channel and configure wireless security settings.

Note: If you are configuring the WAP7205 from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the WAP7205's SSID, channel 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 WAP7205's new settings.

CHAPTER 10 SNMP

10.1 Overview

This chapter explains how to configure the SNMP settings on the WAP7205.

Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. Your WAP7205 supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the WAP7205 through the network. The WAP7205 supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.

    C <--> H
    D <--> H

An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager.

An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the WAP7205). An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed devices.

The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.

SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:

- Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.

  • GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
  • Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
  • Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
