10/100M Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface
This auto-negotiating feature allows the ZyAIR to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust
appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either
half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
10/100M Auto-crossover Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface
The LAN interface automatically adjusts to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.
Reset Button
The ZyAIR reset button is built into the top panel. Use this button to restore the factory default password to
1234; IP address to 192.168.1.2, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
Brute-Force Password Guessing Protection
The ZyAIR has a special protection mechanism to discourage brute-force password guessing attacks on the
ZyAIR's management interfaces. You can specify a wait-time that must expire before entering a fourth
password after three incorrect passwords have been entered. Please see the appendix for details about this
feature.
ZyAIR LED
The blue ZyAIR LED (also known as the Breathing LED) is on when the ZyAIR is on and blinks (or breaths)
when data is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. You may use the web configurator to turn this
LED off even when the ZyAIR is on and data is being transmitted/received.
