Syntax Conventions

•The P-2601HN(L)-F1 series may be referred to as the “ZyXEL Device”, the “device”, the “system” or the “product” in this User’s Guide.

•Product labels, screen names, field labels and field choices are all in bold font.

•A key stroke is denoted by square brackets and uppercase text, for example, [ENTER] means the “enter” or “return” key on your keyboard.

•“Enter” means for you to type one or more characters and then press the [ENTER] key. “Select” or “choose” means for you to use one of the predefined choices.

Introducing the ZyXEL Device

1.1 Overview

The ZyXEL Device is an ADSL2+ Integrated Access Device (IAD) that combines an ADSL2+ router with Voice over IP (VoIP) communication capabilities to allow you to use a traditional analog telephone to make Internet calls. By integrating DSL and NAT, you are provided with ease of installation and high-speed, shared Internet access. The ZyXEL Device is also a complete security solution with a robust firewall and content filtering.

You can use Quality of Service (QoS) to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers.

Please refer to the following description of the product name format.

•“H” denotes an integrated 4-port hub (switch).

•“N” denotes wireless functionality, including 802.11n mode. There is an embedded USB module for IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN connectivity.

Only use firmware for your ZyXEL Device’s specific model. Refer to the label on the bottom of your ZyXEL Device.

•“L” denotes the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) line feature. The PSTN line lets you have VoIP phone service and PSTN phone service at the same time. All PSTN line features documented in this user’s guide refer to the “L” models only.

When the ZyXEL Device does not have power, only the phone with lifeline connected to the FXO port can be used for making calls.

•Models ending in “1” denote a device that works over the analog telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service).

See the chapter on product specifications for a full list of features.

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device

1.2 Applications for the ZyXEL Device

Here are some example uses for which the ZyXEL Device is well suited.

1.2.1 Internet Access

Your ZyXEL Device provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. Computers can connect to the ZyXEL Device’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).

Figure 1 ZyXEL Device’s Internet Access Application

WAN

Bridging

IPoE

PPPoE

ADSL

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 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.

1.2.2 Internet Calls (VoIP)

•Calls via a VoIP service provider - The ZyXEL Device sends your call to a VoIP service provider’s SIP server which forwards your calls to either VoIP or PSTN phones.

1.2.3Wireless Connection

By default, the wireless LAN (WLAN) is enabled on the ZyXEL Device. IEEE 802.11b/g/n compliant clients can wirelessly connect to the ZyXEL Device to access network resources. You can set up a wireless network with WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) or manually add a client to your wireless network.

1.3 Ways to Manage the ZyXEL Device

Use any of the following methods to manage the ZyXEL Device.

	23
P-2601HN(L)-F1 Series User’s Guide	23

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device

•Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the ZyXEL Device using a (supported) web browser.

•Command Line Interface (administrator account only). Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service engineers.

•FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.

1.4Good 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). 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.

1.5LEDs (Lights)

The following graphic displays the labels of the LEDs.

Figure 4 LEDs on the Top of the Device

None of the LEDs are on if the ZyXEL Device is not receiving power.
