4.1.6 Service Zones
A Service Zone is a logical network area to cover certain wired and wireless networks in an organization such as
SMB or branch offices. By associating a unique VLAN Tag and SSID with a Service Zone, administrators can
separate wired network and wireless network into different logical zones. Users attempting to access the
resources within the Service Zone will be controlled based on the access control profile of the Service Zone,
such as authentication, security feature, wireless encryption method, traffic control, etc.
There are up to five Service Zones to be utilized; by default, they are named as:
Default, SZ1, SZ2, SZ3

SZ4
