CHAPTER 1
Introduction
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 co m p l e t e security solution with a
robust firewall.
Please refer to the following description of the product name format.
• “H” denotes an integrated 4-port hu b (s wi tc h) .
• “N” denotes wireless functionality, including 802.11n mode. There is an
embedded mini-PCI module for IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless LAN connectivity.
• “U” denotes a USB port used to set up a 3G WAN connection via a 3G wireless
card or share files via a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive. The ZyXEL
Device can function as a print server with an USB printer connected. It can also
function as a DLNA/media server.
• Models ending in “1”, for example P-2612HNU-F1, denote a device that works
over the analog telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). Models
ending in “3” denote a device that works over ISDN (Integrated Services Digital
Network) or T-ISDN (UR-2).
Only use firmware for your ZyXEL Device’s specific model. Refer
to the label on the bottom of your ZyXEL Device.
See the chapter on product specifications for a full list of features.
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. If you prefer not to
use a DSL line and you have another broadb and modem or router (such as ADSL)
available, you can push the DSL/WAN switch (on the rear panel) to the WAN
side and connect the WAN port to the broadband modem or router. This way, you
can access the Internet via an Ethernet connection and still use the QoS, Firewall
and VoIP functions on the ZyXEL Device.
Computers can connect to the ZyXEL Device’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).
Figure 1 ZyXEL Device’s Internet Access Application
1.2.1.1 3G WAN
The USB port allows you to wirelessly connect to a 3G network to get Internet
access by attaching a 3G wireless card. You must leave the DSL or Ethernet WAN
port unconnected and attached a 3G wireless card to use 3G as your WAN. You
can also have the ZyXEL Device use the 3G WAN connection as a backup. Th at
means the ZyXEL Device switches to the 3G wireless WAN connection after the
wired DSL or Ethernet WAN connection fails. The ZyXEL Device automatically
changes back to use the wired DSL or Ethernet WAN connection when it is
available.
Figure 2 Internet Access Application: 3G WAN
22
P-2612HNU-Fx User’s Guide
You can also configure firewall on the ZyXEL Device for secure Internet access.
PSTN
When the firewall is on, all inc o m ing traffic from the Internet to your network is
blocked unless it is initia t e d fr om 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.
Use QoS to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving priority to certain
types of traffic and/or to particular c omput ers. For example, you could make sure
that the ZyXEL Device gives voice over Internet calls hi gh priority, and/or limit
bandwidth devoted to the boss’s excessive file downloading.
1.2.2 VoIP Features
You can register up to 2 SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) profiles (4 accounts for
each profile) and use the ZyXEL Device to make and receive VoIP telephone calls:
Figure 3 ZyXEL Device’s VoIP Application
Chapter 1 Introduction
The ZyXEL Device sends your call to a VoIP service provider’s SIP server which
forwards your calls to either VoIP or PSTN phones.
1.2.3 ZyXEL Device’s USB and DLNA Media Support
Use the built-in USB 2.0 port to share files via a USB memory stick or a USB hard
drive (A). Alternatively, you can add a USB printer (B) and make it available on
your local area network.

3.10 Configuring 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 department 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 com puter 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

To configure a static route to route traffic from N1 to N2:
1 Click Network Setting > Routing. Click Add New Static Route.
2 Configure the Static Route Setup screen using the following settings:
• Select Active.
• Specify a descriptive name for this routing rule.
•Type 192.168.10.0 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 for the destination, N2.

Now B should be able to receive traffic from A. You may need to additionally
configure B’s firewall settings to allow specific traffic to pass through.
3.11 Configuring QoS Queue and Class Setup
This section contains tutorials on how you can configure the QoS screen.
Note: V oice traffic will not be affected by the user-defined QoS settings on the ZyXEL
Device. It always gets the highest priority.
Let’s say you are a team leader of a small sales branch office. You want to
prioritize e-mail traffic because your task includes sending urgent updates to
clients at least twice every hour. You also upload data files (such as logs and email archives) to the FTP server throughout the day. Your colleagues use the
Internet for research, as well as chat applications for communicating with other
branch offices.
In the following figure, your Internet connection has an upstream transmission
bandwidth of 10,000 kbps. For this exampl e, y ou want to configure QoS so that email traffic gets the highest priority with at least 5,000 kbps. You can do the
following:
• Configure a queue to assign the highest priority queue (7) to e-mail traffic from
the LAN interface, so that e-mail traffic would not get delayed when there is
network congestion.
• Note the IP address (192.168.1.23 for example) and/or MAC address
(AA:FF:AA:FF:AA:FF for example) of your computer and map it to queue 7.

5.1 Overview
This chapter discusses the ZyXEL Device’ s Broadband screens. Use these screens
to configure your ZyXEL Device for Internet access.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another
network or the Internet. It connects your private networks, such as a LAN (Local
Area Network) and other networks, so that a computer in one location can
communicate with computers in other locations.

You can attach a 3G wireless adapter to the USB port and set the ZyXEL Device to
use this 3G connection as your WAN or a backup when the wired WAN connection
fails.

5.1.2 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
96
P-2612HNU-Fx User’s Guide
Chapter 5 Broadband
Encapsulation Method
Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower
layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the
same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your
ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), they
should also provide a username and password (and service name) for user
authentication.
WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the ZyXEL Device, which makes it
accessible from an outside network. It is used by the ZyXEL Device to
communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or
dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the ZyXEL Device tries to access the
Internet.
If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the
subnet mask and DNS server IP address(es).
ATM
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a LAN and WAN networking technology that
provides high-speed data transfer. ATM uses fixed-size packets of information
called cells. With A TM, a high QoS (Quality of Service) can be guaranteed. ATM
uses a connection-oriented model and establishes a virtual circuit (VC) between
two endpoints before the actual data exchange begins.
3G
3G (Third Generation) is a digital, packet -switched wireless technology. Bandwidth
usage is optimized as multiple users share the same channel and bandwidth is
only allocated to users when they send data. It allows fast transfer of voice and
non-voice data and provides broadband Internet access to mobile devices.
Finding Out More
• See Section 5.4 on page 114 for advanced technical information on WAN and
3G.
• See Chapter 3 on page 37 for WAN tutorials.
5.1.3 Before You Begin
You need to know your Internet access settings such as encapsulation and W AN IP
address. Get this information from your ISP.
