• Firmware upgrade via TR-069 and Web Configurator
The embedded Web-based Configurator enables straightforward management and maintenance. Just
insert the SIM card (with an active data plan) and make the hardware connections. See the Quick Start
Guide for how to do the hardware installation, wall/pole mounting, and Internet setup.
1.2 Application for the Zyxel Device
Wireless WAN
The Zyxel Device can connect to the Internet through a 2G/3G/4G LTE SIM card to access a wireless
WAN connection. Just insert a SIM card into the SIM card slot at the bottom of the Zyxel Device.
Note: You must insert the SIM card into the card slot before turning on the Zyxel Device.
You can install two external antennas to improve your wireless WAN signal strength. See Table 1 on page
16 for the feature differences.
Wireless LAN (WiFi)
Wireless clients can connect to the LTE Device to access network resources and the Internet. Your LTE
Device supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with
strong security.
Internet Access
Your Zyxel Device provides shared Internet access by connecting to an LTE network. A computer can
connect to the Zyxel Device’s PoE injector or a LAN port for configuration via the Web Configurator. See
Table 1 on page 16 for the feature differences.

Carrier Aggregation (LTE7480-M804 / LTE7490-M904/ LTE5388-M804 / LTE5398M904 / LTE3316-M604)
Carrier Aggregation (CA) is a technology to deliver high downlink data rates by combining more than
one carrier in the same or different bands together.
Figure 2 Zyxel Device’s CA Application
Ethernet WAN (LTE3301-PLUS / LTE5388-M804 / LTE5398-M904 / LTE3316-M604)
If you have another broadband modem or router available, you can use the Ethernet WAN port and
then connect it to the broadband modem or router. This way, you can access the Internet via an
Ethernet connection and still use the Firewall function on the Zyxel Device.
Note: For LTE3301-PLUS, convert LAN port number four as a WAN port first. See Section 6.4 on
page 90 for more information about the Network Setting > Broadband > Ethernet WAN
screen.
Note: For LTE5388-M804 / LTE5398-M904 / LTE3316-M604, convert LAN port number one as a
WAN port first. See Section 6.4 on page 90 for more information about the Network

1.3 Manage the Zyxel Device
Use the Web Configurator for management of the Zyxel Device using a (supported) web browser.
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 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). Refer to Section 33.2 on page
266. Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the Zyxel Device becomes unstable or
even crashes. If you forget your password to access the Web Configurator, 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.
Write down any information your ISP provides you.

4.2 Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPS
This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses the
Zyxel Device as the AP and a WPS-enabled Android smartphone as the wireless client.
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection via the web configurator or utility. This
tutorial shows you how to do both.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a button. See
Section 4.2.1 on page 49. This is the easier method.
• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN (Personal
Identification Number) in the Zyxel Device’s interface. See Section 4.2.2 on page 50. This is the more
secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.

8 If the wireless client keeps trying to connect to or acquiring an IP address from the Zyxel Device, make
sure you entered the correct security key.
If the connection has limited or no connectivity, make sure the DHCP server is enabled on the Zyxel
Device.
If your connection is successful, open your Internet browser and enter http://www.zyxel.com or the URL
of any other website in the address bar. If you are able to access the web site, your wireless connection
is successfully configured.
4.4 Use Multiple SSIDs on the Zyxel Device
You can configure more than one SSID on a Zyxel Device. See Section 7.3 on page 104.
This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the Zyxel Device as if there were
multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID, and wireless security type. That is, each SSID on
the Zyxel Device represents a different access point/wireless network to wireless clients in the network.
Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients using
different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the Zyxel Device (such as a
printer).
For example, you may set up three wireless networks (A, B and C) in your office. A is for workers, B is for
guests and C is specific to a VoIP device in the meeting room.
4.4.1 Configure Security Settings of Multiple SSIDs
The Zyxel Device is in router mode by default.

4.12 Configure DHCP
You can enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) in your Zyxel Device to assign IP
addresses and DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability. DHCP allows clients to obtain
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server.
The following figure shows how Client A uses DHCP to join the Zyxel Device’s network. First Client A
searches for an available DHCP, and sends a DHCP Discover broadcast message asking for an IP
address to connect to. Then the DHCP selects an IP address from its pool of IP addresses for Client A. The
DHCP sends a DHCP Offer including the IP address selected and a lease time, which is the period of time
Client A will be able to use this IP address, After Client A has received DHCP offers for an IP address, it
chooses one and sends out a DHCP Request including the IP address it chose. Finally the DHCP confirms
through a DHCP Ack (Acknowledge) message that the host can use the IP address for the previously
specified lease time.
Chapter 4 Tutorials
To configure the DHCP in your Zyxel Device:
1 Log into the Zyxel Device’s Web Configurator.
2 Click Network Setting > Home Networking > LAN Setup.
3 Select Enable DHCP Server State.
4 Enter a range of addresses from which your DHCP will assign to devices in your network.
Note: Do not include the Zyxel Device’s LAN IP address in your range of addresses.
5 Type the DHCP Server Lease Time, the period of time (in minutes) a device can use one of the IP
addresses from the DHCP pool. The lease time helps recycle unused IP addresses so that other can use
them again. Click Apply.
4.12.1 Add Devices to Your Static DHCP List
IP addresses from the DHCP pool can be reused after they have completed their lease time. Add your
devices to your Static DHCP List so they have the same IP address everytime they connect to your
network.
To add a device to your Static DHCP List:
1 Log into the Zyxel Device’s Web Configurator.
2 Go to Network Setting > Home Networking > Static DHCP screen.
LTE Series User’s Guide
64
Page 65
Chapter 4 Tutorials
3 Click Static DHCP Configuration in the Static DHCP Configuration screen.
4 Select Active and type the IP address you want to assign to your device.
5 Type the MAC Address of your device to which the LTE7460 assigns the IP address and click OK.
4.13 Configure Static Route for Routing to Another Network
In order to extend your Intranet and control traffic flowing directions, you may connect a router to the
Zyxel Device’s LAN. The router may be used to separate two area networks. This tutorial shows how to
configure a static routing rule for two network routings.
In the following figure, router R is connected to the Zyxel Device’s LAN. R connects to two networks, N1
(192.168.1.x/24) and N2 (192.168.10.x/24). If you want to send traffic from computer A (in N1 network) to
LTE Series User’s Guide
65
Page 66
Chapter 4 Tutorials
computer B (in N2 network), the traffic is sent to the Zyxel Device’s WAN default gateway by default. In
this case, B will never receive the traffic.
You need to specify a static routing rule on the Zyxel Device to specify R as the router in charge of
forwarding traffic to N2. In this case, the Zyxel Device routes traffic from A to R and then R routes the
traffic to B.
This tutorial uses the following example IP settings:
Table 12 IP Settings in this Tutorial
DEVICE / COMPUTER IP ADDRESS
The Zyxel Device’s LAN 192.168.1.1
A 192.168.1.34
R’s N1 192.168.1.253
R’s N2 192.168.10.2
B 192.168.10.33
LTE Series User’s Guide
66
Page 67
Chapter 4 Tutorials
To configure a static route to route traffic from N1 to N2:
1 Log into the Zyxel Device’s Web Configurator.
2 Go to Network Setting > Routing > Static Route screen.
3 Click Add New Static Route in the Static Route screen.

Wireless
7.1.2 What You Need to Know
Wireless Basics
“Wireless” is essentially radio communication. In the same way that walkie-talkie radios send and
receive information over the airwaves, wireless networking devices exchange information with one
another. A wireless networking device is just like a radio that lets your computer exchange information
with radios attached to other computers. Like walkie-talkies, most wireless networking devices operate
at radio frequency bands that are open to the public and do not require a license to use. However,
wireless networking is different from that of most traditional radio communications in that there are a
number of wireless networking standards available with different methods of data encryption.
