Figure 5-7 Profile: Activate the Profile Profile 5-9 ZyXEL G-360 User's Guide Chapter 6 Adapter This chapter discusses OTIST and how to configure the Adapter screen. 6. 1 Introduction to OTIST In a wireless network, the wireless clients must have the same SSID and security settings as the access point (AP) or wireless router (we will refer to both as "AP" here) in order to associate with it. Traditionally this meant that you have to configure the settings on the AP and then manually configure the exact same settings on each wireless client. OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology) allows you to transfer your AP's SSID and WEP or WPA(2)-PSK security settings to wireless clients that support OTIST and are within transmission range. You can also choose to have OTIST generate a WPA(2)-PSK key for you if you didn't configure one manually. 6. 1. 1 Enabling OTIST You must enable OTIST on both the AP and wireless client before you start transferring settings. The AP and wireless client(s) MUST use the same Setup Key. Wireless Client Start the ZyXEL Utility and click the Adapter tab. Select the OTIST check box, enter the same Setup Key as your AP's and click Save. Adapter 6-1 ZyXEL G-360 User's Guide AP You can enable OTIST using the reset button or the web configurator. If you use the reset button, the default (01234567) or previous saved (through the web configurator) Setup Key is used to encrypt the settings that you want to transfer. Hold in the Reset button for one or two seconds. If you hold in the Reset button too long, the device will reset to the factory defaults!In the web configurator, go to the Wireless LAN main screen and then select OTIST. To change the Setup Key, enter up to eight printable characters. To have OTIST automatically generate a WPA(2)-PSK key, select the Yes check box. If you manually configured a WEP key or a WPA(2)-PSK key and you also selected this check box, then the key you manually configured is used. 6. 1. 2 Starting OTIST You must click Start in the AP OTIST web configurator screen and in the wireless client(s) Adapter screen all within three minutes (at the time of writing). You can start OTIST in the wireless clients and AP in any order but they must all be within range and have OTIST enabled. In the AP, a web configurator screen pops up showing you the security settings to transfer. After reviewing the settings, click OK. 2. This screen appears while OTIST settings are being transferred. It closes when the transfer is complete. 6-2 Adapter ZyXEL G-360 User's Guide In the wireless client, you see this screen if it can't find an OTIST-enabled AP (with the same Setup Key). Click OK to go back to the ZyXEL Utility main screen. If there is more than one OTIST-enabled AP within range, you see a screen asking you to select one AP to get settings from. 6. 1. 3 Notes on OTIST 1.
