1.1 Overview
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.
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.2 Ways 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.
• 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.
1.3 Good 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.

Chapter 1 Introduction
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.
1.4.2 Wireless Access
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.

1.6 Using the WPS Button
You can also use the WPS button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the
AMG1312-T Series and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.
To activate WPS:
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on and not blinking.
2 Press the WPS button for 1-5 seconds and release it. See below for WPS button location.

3 Press 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.
4 Once the connection is successfully made, the WPS LED shines green.
1.7 The RESET Button
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.
1.7.1 Using the Reset Button
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 To 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.
