The AMG1312-T Series is an ADSL2+ router. By integrating DSL and NAT, you are provided with ease of installation and high-speed, shared Internet access. The AMG1312-T Series is also a complete security solution with a robust firewall and content filtering.
Only use firmware for your AMG1312-T Series’s specific model. Refer to the label on the bottom of your AMG1312-T Series.
Note: Not all models have all of the features shown in this User’s Guide.
Use any of the following methods to manage the AMG1312-T Series.
•Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the AMG1312-T Series using a (supported) web browser.
•Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service engineers.
•FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.
•TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your device.
1.3Good Habits for Managing the AMG1312-T Series
Do the following things regularly to make the AMG1312-T Series more secure and to manage the AMG1312-T Series 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 AMG1312-T Series to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the AMG1312-T Series. You could simply restore your last configuration.
AMG1312-T Series User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Introduction
Here are some example uses for which the AMG1312-T Series is well suited.
Your AMG1312-T Series provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. Computers can connect to the AMG1312-T Series’s Ethernet ports (or wirelessly).
Figure 1 AMG1312-T Series’s Router Features
LAN WAN
DSL
You can also configure firewall and filtering feature on the AMG1312-T Series for secure Internet access. When the firewall is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked unless it is initiated from your network. This means that probes from the outside to your network are not allowed, but you can safely browse the Internet and download files.
Use the filtering feature to block access to specific web sites or Internet applications such as MSN or Yahoo Messenger. You can also configure IP/MAC filtering rules for incoming or outgoing traffic.
Use QoS to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers. For example, you could make sure that the AMG1312-T Series gives voice over Internet calls high priority, and/or limit bandwidth devoted to the boss’s excessive file downloading.
The ZyXEL Device is a wireless Access Point (AP) for IEEE 802.11b/g/n compliant clients, such as notebook computers or PDAs and iPads. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet cables. You can set up a wireless network with WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) or manually add a client to your wireless network.

WPS
3Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the AMG1312-T Series. The WPS LED should flash while the AMG1312-T Series sets up a WPS connection with the other wireless device.
4Once the connection is successfully made, the WPS LED shines green.
If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to use the RESET button at the back of the device to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the user name and password will be reset to the default.
1Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for ten seconds or until the POWER LED begins to blink and then release it. When the POWER LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the device restarts.
1.8Ways to Manage the AMG1312-T Series
Use any of the following methods to manage the AMG1312-T Series.
•Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the AMG1312-T Series using a (supported) web browser.
•FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.

The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy device setup and management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions, Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions, or Safari 2.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the web configurator, you need to allow:
•Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.
•JavaScript (enabled by default).
•Java permissions (enabled by default).
See Appendix C on page 257 if you need to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet Explorer.
1Make sure your AMG1312-T Series hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2Launch your web browser.
3Type "192.168.1.1" as the URL.
4A password screen displays. Type “admin” (default) as the username and “1234” as the password, and click Login. If you have changed the password, enter your password and click Login.
