C HAPTER 10 WAN 10.1 Overview This chapter discusses the ARMOR Z1’s WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your ARMOR Z1 for Internet access. A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It connects your private networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, so that a computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations. Figure 42 LAN and WAN 10.
Chapter 10 WAN 10.3.1 Configuring Your Internet Connection Encapsulation Method Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Chapter 10 WAN Multicast Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1. Figure 43 Multicast Example In the multicast example above, systems A and D comprise one multicast group. In multicasting, the server only needs to send one data stream and this is delivered to systems A and D.
Chapter 10 WAN Auto-IP-Change only works under the following conditions: • The ARMOR Z1 must be in Router Mode (see Section 15.12 on page 147 for more information) for Auto-IP-Change to become active. • The ARMOR Z1 is set to receive a dynamic WAN IP address. 10.4 Internet Connection Screen Use this screen to change your ARMOR Z1’s Internet access settings.

The ARMOR Z1 is able to function both 2.4GHz and 5GHz network at the same time. You can have different wireless and wireless security settings for 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LANs. Click Expert > Wireless to configure wireless LAN 2.4G or wireless LAN 5G. See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.
Chapter 11 Wireless LAN 11.1.1 What You Can Do • Use the Wireless screen to enable or disable the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless LAN, set up wireless security between the ARMOR Z1 and the wireless clients, and make other basic configuration changes (Section 11.2 on page 87). • Use the Guest Wireless screen to set up multiple wireless networks on your ARMOR Z1 (Section 11.4 on page 93).
Chapter 11 Wireless LAN 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.
Chapter 11 Wireless LAN For example, if the wireless network has a RADIUS server, you can choose WPA or WPA2. If users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no encryption, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless network supports. For example, suppose the AP does not have a local user database, and you do not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no user authentication.
Chapter 11 Wireless LAN Figure 51 Guest Wireless LAN Network A Z N Guest WLAN Bandwidth The Guest WLAN Bandwidth function allows you to restrict the maximum bandwidth for the guest wireless network. Additionally, you can also define bandwidth for your home or office network. An example is shown next to define maximum bandwidth for your networks (A is Guest WLAN and N is home or company network.
