Chapter 1 Introduction

• 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.

LTE

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 Setting > Broadband > Ethernet WAN screen.

1.3Manage 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.
