CHAPTER 1
Introducing the ZyXEL Device
This chapter introduces the main applications of the ZyXEL Device.
1.1 Overview
The NBG-510S Wireless SSL Remote Access Gateway provides wireless connectivity, shared
Internet access, and firewall protection. It also provides easy, secure remote user access for file
sharing and management of home network computers.
Figure 1 Secure Wired and Wireless Internet Access Through Broadband Modem or Router
NBG-510S
• The ZyXEL Device is easy to install and configure.
• Directly connect computers or Ethernet devices to the four-port LAN switch.
• The wireless LAN feature (WLAN) supports IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.1g devices as
well as Super G wireless technology for enhanced wireless data throughput speeds.
• NAT and DHCP server features let you share high-speed Internet access through a
broadband modem or router.
• Strong firewall protection secures your network from attacks.
1.1.1 Remote User Access Secured by SSL
The secure remote access portal (user portal) makes it easy to give remote users secure access
to shared files on your home computers. The secure remote access uses SSL (the Secure
Socket Layer protocol), so no security software installation is required. Remote users can use
Internet Explorer or other standard web browsers. Here remote user A uses a web browser to
go to the secure remote access portal and securely access a shared file on a computer behind
the ZyXEL Device.

SSL
The secure remote access portal also allows secure remote desktop connections for managing
computers on your network. The secure remote access screens (user portal) includes the
screens the remote users log into and use for secure file sharing and remote computer
management.
1.2 Good Habits for Managing the ZyXEL Device
Use the web configurator for everyday management of the ZyXEL Device with a (supported)
web browser.
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 is 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 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.
