Getting to Know your Zyxel
1.1 Overview
Your Zyxel Device is a wireless AP (Access Point). It extends the range of your existing wired network
without additional wiring, providing easy network access to mobile users.
You can set the Zyxel Device to operate in either standalone AP or managed AP mode. When the Zyxel
Device is in standalone AP mode, it can serve as a normal AP, as an RF monitor to search for rouge APs
to help eliminate network threats (if it supports monitor mode and rogue APs detection/containment), or
even as a root AP or a wireless repeater to esta blish wireless links with other APs in a WDS (Wireless
Distribution System). A WDS is a wireless connection between two or more APs.
CHAPTER 1
Device
Your Zyxel Device’s business-class reliability, SMB features, and centralized wireless management make it
ideally suited for advanced service delivery in mission-critical networks. It uses Multiple BSSID and VLAN
to provide simultaneous independent virtual APs. Additionally, innovations in roaming technology and
QoS features eliminate voice call disruptions.
The Zyxel Device controls network access with Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering, and rogue
Access Point (AP) detection. It also provides a high level of network traffic security, supporting IEEE
802.1x, Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption.

Command Line Interface
This chapter describes how to access and use the CLI (Command Line Interface).
2.1 Overview
If you have problems with your Zyxel Device, customer support may request that you issue some of these
commands to assist them in troubleshooting.
Use of undocumented commands or misconfiguration can damage the
Zyxel Device and possibly render it unusable.
2.1.1 The Configuration File
CHAPTER 2
When you configure the Zyxel Device using either the CLI (Command Line Interface) or the web
configurator, the settings are saved as a series of commands in a configuration file on the Zyxel Device.
You can store more than one configuration file on the Zyxel Device. However, only one configuration file
is used at a time.
You can perform the following with a configuration file:
• Back up Zyxel Device configuration once the Zyxel Device is set up to work in your network.
• Restore Zyxel Device configuration.
• Save and edit a configuration file and upload it to multiple Zyxel Devices in your network to have the
same settings.
Note: You may also edit a configuration file using a text editor.
2.2 Accessing the CLI
You can access the CLI using a terminal emulation program on a computer connected to the console
port, or access the Zyxel Device using Telnet or SSH (Secure SHell).
Note: The console port is not available in every model. Please check the User’s Guide or
datasheet, or refer to the product page at www.zyxel.com to see if your Zyxel Device
has a console port.
Note: The Zyxel Device might force you to log out of your session if reauthentication time,
lease time, or idle timeout is reached. See Chapter 9 on page 47 for more information
about these settings.
NWA/WAC/WAX Series CLI Reference Guide
17
2.2.1 Console Port
The default settings for the console port are as follows.
Table 4 Managing the Zyxel Device: Console Port
SETTING VALUE
Speed 115200 bps
Data Bits 8
Parity None
Stop Bit 1
Flow Control Off
When you turn on your Zyxel Device, it performs several internal tests as well as line initialization. You can
view the initialization information using the console port.
• Garbled text displays if your terminal emulation program’s speed is set lower than the Zyxel Device’s.
• No text displays if the speed is set higher than the Zyxel Device’s.
• If changing your terminal emulation program’s speed does not get anything to display, restart the
Zyxel Device.
• If restarting the Zyxel Device does not get anything to display, contact your local customer support.

2.2.3 SSH (Secure SHell)
You can use an SSH client program to access the CLI. The following figure shows an example using a
text-based SSH client program. Refer to the documentation that comes with your SSH program for
information on using it.
Note: The default login username is admin and password is 1234. The username and password
are case-sensitive.

2.6.4 Entering a ? in a Command
Typing a ? (question mark) usually displays help information. However, some commands allow you to
input a ?, for example as part of a string. Press [CTRL+V] on your keyboard to enter a ? without the Zyxel
Device treating it as a help query.
2.6.5 Command History
The Zyxel Device keeps a list of commands you have entered for the current CLI session. You can use
any commands in the history again by pre s s i ng th e up ( ) or down () arrow key to scroll through the
previously used commands and press
2.6.6 Navigation
[TAB], the Zyxel Device displays a list of
[ENTER].
Press [CTRL]+A to move the cursor to the beginning of the line. Press [CTRL]+E to move the cursor to the
end of the line.
2.6.7 Erase Current Command
Press [CTRL]+U to erase whatever you have currently typed at the prompt (before pressing [ENTER]).
2.6.8 The no Commands
When entering the no commands described in this document, you may not need to type the whole
command. For example, with the “[no] mss <536..1452>” command, you use “mss 536” to specify
the MSS value. But to disable the MSS setting, you only need to type “no mss” instead of “no mss 536”.
2.7 Input Values
You can use the ? or [TAB] to get more information about the next input value that is required for a
command. In some cases, the next input value is a string whose length and allowable characters may

User and Privilege Modes
This chapter describes how to use these two modes.
3.1 User And Privilege Modes
This is the mode you are in when you first log into the CLI. (Do not confuse ‘user mode’ with types of user
accounts the Zyxel Device uses. See Chapter 9 on page 47 for more information about the user types.
‘User’ type accounts can only run ‘exit’ in this mode. However, they may need to log into the device in
order to be authenticated for ‘user-aware’ policies, for example a firewall rule that a particular user is
exempt from.)
Type ‘enable’ to go to ‘privilege mode’. No password is required. All commands can be run from here
except those marked with an asterisk. Many of these commands are for trouble-shooting purposes, for
example the htm (hardware test module) and debug commands. Customer support may ask you to run
some of these commands and send the results if you need assistance troubleshooting your device.
CHAPTER 3
For admin logins, all commands are visible in ‘user mode’ but not all can be run there. The following
table displays which commands can be run in ‘user mode’. All commands can be run in ‘privilege
mode’.
The htm and psm commands are for Zyxel’s internal manufacturing
process.

P Runs a script.
U/P Turns stop-on-error on (terminates booting if an error is found in a configuration
file) or off (ignores configuration file errors and continues booting).
U/P Displays command statistics. See the associated command chapter in this
guide.
P Writes all d data to disk and stops the system processes. It does not turn off the
power.
U/P Establishes a connection to the TCP port number 23 of the specified host name
or IP address.
U/P Tests whether the specified user name can be success fully authe nticated by an
external authentication server.
P Traces the route to the specified host name or IP address.
P Saves the current configuration to the Zyxel Device. All unsaved changes are
lost after the Zyxel Device restarts.
Subsequent chapters in this guide describe the configuration commands. User/privilege mode
commands that are also configuration commands (for example, ‘show’) are described in more detail in
the related configuration command chapter.
3.1.1 Debug Commands
Debug commands marked with an asterisk (*) are not available when the debug flag is on and are for
Zyxel service personnel use only. The debug commands follow a syntax that is Linux-based, so if there is a
