1.1.1 Multi-Gigabit Ethernet
A 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port supports speeds of 2.5 Gbps if the connected device supports 2.5 Gbps. While a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port supports speeds of 10 Gbps if the connected device supports 10 Gbps and a Cat 6a (up to 100 m) or Cat 6 cable (up to 50 m) is used.
Some network devices such as gaming computers, servers, network attached storage (NAS) devices, or access points may have network cards that are capable of 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps connectivity.
If these devices are connected to a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps Ethernet port, they can only transmit or receive up to 1 Gbps as speeds of 2.5 Gbps / 10 Gbps cannot be attained. Moreover, if network devices with 2.5 Gbps / 10 Gbps network cards are connected to a 2.5 Gbps / 10 Gbps Ethernet port, you must use Cat 5e / Cat 6A or better Ethernet cables to achieve 2.5 Gbps / 10 Gbps speeds. Most buildings, at the time of writing, use Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cables.
Multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports automatically allow connections up to the speed of the connected network device (100 Mbps (not supported on EX5501-B0), 1 Gbp s, 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps), and you just need to use a Cat 5, Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable.
22
Chapter 1 Introducing the Zyxel Device
Figure 1 Multi-Gigabit Application
See the following table for the cables required and distance limitation to attain the corresponding speed.
Table 4 Ethernet Cable Types

Category 5 100 Mbps 100 m 100 MHz
Category 5e 1 Gbps / 2.5 Gbps / 5 Gbps 100 m 100 MHz
Category 6 5 Gbps / 10 Gbps 50 m 250 MHz
Category 6a 10 Gbps 100 m 500 MHz
Category 7 10 Gbps 100 m 650 MHz

1.2 Example Applications

This section shows a few examples of using the Zyxel Device in various network environments. Note that the Zyxel Device in the figure is just an example Zyxel Device and not your actual Zyxel Device.
1.2.1 Internet Access
The AX7501-B0, PX7501-B0, DX5401-B0 and EX5401-B0 provides shared Internet access by connecting a fiber cable provided by the ISP to the FIBER port. It supports OMCI (ONU Management and Control Interface) to connect to the ISP’s OLT (Optical Line Terminal).
The DX3300-T0, DX3301-T0, DX5301-B2/B3 and DX5401-B0 provide Internet access by connecting the WAN port to your ISP through a DSL cable.
The EX3300-T0/EX2210-T0, EX3301-T0, EX5300-B3, EX5301-B3 and EX5401-B0, EX5501-B0 provide Internet access by connecting the WAN port to your ISP through an Ethernet cable.
The EX5600-T1 and EX5601-T1 provide Internet access by connecting the 2.5G WAN port to a broadband modem through an Ethernet cable.
The EX5601-T0 provides Internet access by:
• connecting the 2.5G WAN port to your ISP through an Ethernet cable, or
23
Chapter 1 Introducing the Zyxel Device
• connecting the SFP port to your ISP with an Ethernet or fiber optic cable through an SFP transceiver.
For Zyxel Devices that support both DSL/Ethernet WAN port and SFP port, see Section 1.2.2 on page 24 for WAN connection priority.
Computers can connect to the Zyxel Device’s LAN ports (or wirelessly) and access the Internet simultaneously.
Figure 2 Zyxel Device’s Internet Access Application
You can also configure Firewall on the Zyxel Device for secure Internet access. When the Firewall is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked by default 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.
Connect the WAN port to the broadband modem or router. This way, you can access the Internet through an Ethernet connection and use the QoS, Firewall and parental control functions on the Zyxel Device.
Figure 3 Zyxel Device’s Internet Access Application: Ethernet WAN
1.2.2 WAN Priority
The WAN connection priority is as follows:
1 SFP
2 Ethernet WAN
3 DSL
4 Cellular WAN (3G/4G)
See Section 1.3 on page 28 for more information about Cellular backup.
24
1.2.3 Dual-Band WiFi
By default, WiFi is enabled on the Zyxel Device. IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax compliant clients can wirelessly connect to the Zyxel Device to access network resources.
The Zyxel Device is a dual-band gateway that can use both 2.4G and 5G networks at the same time. You could use the 2.4 GHz band for regular Internet surfing and downloading while using the 5 GHz band for time sensitive traffic like high-definition video, music, and gaming.
Figure 4 Dual-Band Application
Chapter 1 Introducing the Zyxel Device
The Zyxel Device is a wireless Access Point (AP) for IEEE 802.11b/g/n/a/ac/ax WiFi clients, such as notebook computers, iPads, smartphones, and so on. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet cables.
Your Zyxel Device supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.
Figure 5 Wireless Access Example
25
Chapter 1 Introducing the Zyxel Device
1.2.4 VoIP Applications
The Zyxel Device’s VoIP function allows you to register up to two SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) accounts and use the Zyxel Device to make and receive VoIP telephone calls. The Zyxel Device sends your call to a VoIP service provider’s SIP server which forwards the calls to either VoIP or PSTN phones.
Figure 6 VoIP Application
1.2.5 Zyxel Device’s USB Support
The USB port of the Zyxel Device is used for cellular WAN backup, file-sharing, and media server.
Cellular WAN (3G/4G) Backup
Connect a supported cellular USB dongle with an active SIM card to the USB port. This adds a second WAN interface and allows the Zyxel Device to wirelessly access the Internet via a cellular network. The cellular WAN connection is a backup in case the DSL/Ethernet/Fiber connection fails.
To set up a cellular connection, click Network > Broadband > Cellular Backup.
To update the supported cellular USB dongle list, download the latest WWAN package from the Zyxel website and upload it to the Zyxel Device using the Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade screen.

1.3 Ways to Manage the Zyxel Device

Use any of the following methods to manage the Zyxel Device.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for management of the Zyxel Device using a (supported) web browser.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Use to monitor and/or manage the Zyxel Device by an SNMP manager.
• Secure Shell (SSH), Telnet. Use for troubleshooting the Zyxel Device by qualified personnel.
• FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup or restore.

1.4 Good Habits for Managing the Zyxel Device

Do the following things regularly to make the Zyxel Device more secure and to manage the Zyxel Device more effectively.
• Change the WiFi and Web Configurator passwords. Use a password that is not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the passwords 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 Zyxel Device to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the Zyxel Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.
