1.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the EMG2306-R10A.
The ZyXEL EMG2306-R10A Wireless N300 4-port Gigabit Ethernet Gateway is a Gigabit Ethernet
Gateway that provides four Gigabit Ethernet ports meeting the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless
standard, and it features TR-069 remote management for telcos, service providers and cable
operators as a home network solution interoperating an FTTx or cable infrastructure.
A range of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available for secure Internet
computing.
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.2 Applications
Your can create the following networks using the EMG2306-R10A:
• Wired. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the EMG2306-R10A so that
they can communicate with each other and access the Internet.
• Wireless. Wireless clients can connect to the EMG2306-R10A to access network resources.
• WAN. Connect to a broadband modem/router for Internet access.
• WPS. Create an instant network connection with another WPS-compatible device, sharing your
network connection with it.
1.3 Ways to Manage the EMG2306-R10A
Use any of the following methods to manage the EMG2306-R10A.
• WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). You can use the WPS button or the WPS section of the Web
Configurator to set up a wireless network with your ZyXEL Device.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the EMG2306-R10A using a
(supported) web browser.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the EMG2306-R10A
Do the following things regularly to make the EMG2306-R10A more secure and to manage the
EMG2306-R10A more effectively.
EMG2306-R10A User’s Guide 12
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different
Power WAN Ethernet WLAN WPS Internet
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 EMG2306-R10A to its factory default settings. If
you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the
EMG2306-R10A. You could simply restore your last configuration.

Blinking Internet connection established.
Off Internet connection is down.
1.6 The WPS Button
Your EMG2306-R10A supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure
wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to
configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both
devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its
configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device
to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two
minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set
up a secure network by themselves.
For more information on using WPS, see Section 7.2 on page 40.

1.7 W all Mounting
You may need screw anchors if mounting on a concrete or brick wall.
Table 2 Wall Mounting Information
Distance between holes 12 cm
M4 Screws Two
Screw anchors (optional) Two
1 Select a position free of obstructions on a wall strong enough to hold the weight of the device.
2 Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.
Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall
when drilling holes for the screws.
3 If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the anchors into the
full depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do not insert the screws all the way
in - leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm.
If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do not insert the
screws all the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.
Chapter 1 Introduction
4 Make sure the screws are fastened well enough to hold the weight of the EMG2306-R10A with the
connection cables.
5 Align the holes on the back of the EMG2306-R10A with the screws on the wall. Hang the EMG2306-
R10A on the screws.

2.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to access the EMG2306-R10A Web Configurator and provides an
overview of its screens.
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy setup and
management of the EMG2306-R10A 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).
CHAPTER 2
Introducing the Web Configurator
Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter (Chapter 21 on page 148) to see how to make sure these
functions are allowed in Internet Explorer.
2.2 Login Accounts
There are two system accounts that you can use to log in to the EMG2306-R10A: “admin” and
“supervisor”. These two accounts have different privilege levels. The web configurator screens
vary depending on which account you use to log in.
The supervisor accounts allows you full access to all system configurations. The default supervisor
user name is “supervisor” and password is “supervisor”.
With the admin account, you cannot access Remote MGMT screens and can only view the Sys OP
Mode screen. The default username is “admin” and password is “1234”.
2.3 Accessing the Web Configurator
1 Make sure your EMG2306-R10A hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer or
computer network to connect to the EMG2306-R10A (refer to the Quick Start Guide).

3.4 DHCP Table
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), RFC 2131 and RFC 2132 allow individual clients to
obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the EMG2306-R10A’s LAN
as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the EMG2306-R10A provides the
TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP
server on that network, or else the computer must be manually configured.
