The ZyXEL Device is an Integrated Access Devic e (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 Int ernet access.
The ZyXEL Device is also a complete security solution with a robust firewall and
content filtering.
Please refer to the following description of the product name format.
• “H” denotes an integrated 4-port hu b (s wi tc h) .
• “W” denotes wireless functionality. There is an embedded mini-PCI module for
IEEE 802.11g wireless LAN connectivity . All wirel ess features documented in this
user’s guide refer to the “W” models only.
• “U” denotes a USB port used to share files via a USB memory stick or a USB
hard drive. The ZyXEL Device can also function as a print se rver with an USB
printer connected.
See the chapter on product specifications for a full list of features.
1.1.1 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.
P-2612HWU-F1 User’s Guide
25
Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
Computers can connect to the ZyXEL Device’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).
Figure 1 ZyXEL Device’s Router Features
LAN
You can also configure firewall and content filtering 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.
Internet
Use content filtering to block access to specific web sites, with URLs containing
keywords that you specify. You can define time periods and days during which
content filtering is enabled and include or exclude particular computers on your
network from content filtering. For example, you could bl ock access to certain web
sites for the kids.
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.

1.1.2 VoIP Features
You can register up to 2 SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) accounts and use the
ZyXEL Device to make and receive VoIP telephone calls:
Figure 2 ZyXEL Device’s VoIP Features
Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
A
Internet
B
• Peer-to-Peer calls (A) - Use the Z yXEL Device to make a call to the recipient’s IP
address without using a SIP proxy server.
• Calls via a VoIP service provider (B) - The ZyXEL Device sends your call to a
VoIP service provider’s SIP server which forwards your calls to either VoIP or
PSTN phones.
1.1.3 ZyXEL Device’s USB 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.

1.2 Ways to Manage the ZyXEL Device
Use any of the following methods to manage the ZyXEL Device.
• Web Configur ator. This is recommended for everyday management of the ZyXEL
Device using a (supported) web browser.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting
by service engineers.
• FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.
• SNMP. The device can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See the SNMP
chapter in this User’s Guide.
• SPTGEN. SPTGEN is a text configuration file that allows you to configure the
device by uploading an SPTGEN file. This is especially con v enient if y ou need to
configure many devices of the same type.
1.3 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).
Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes
unstable or even crashes. If you forget y our password, you will hav e to reset the
ZyXEL Device to its factory default settings . If yo u backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the ZyXEL Device.
You could simply restore your last configuration.

There are three ways to connect the client to an access point.
• Configure nothing and leave the wireless client to automatically scan for and
connect to any available network that has no wireless security configured.
• Manually connect to a network.
• Configure a profile to have the wireless client automatically connect to a specific
network or peer computer.
This example illustrates how to manually connect your wireless cli ent to an access
point (AP) which is configured for WPA-PSK security and connected to the
Internet. Before you connect to the access point, you must know its Service Set
IDentity (SSID) and WPA-PSK pre-shared key. In this example, the SSID is
“SSID_Example3” and the pre-shared key is “ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey”.

4.3.3 Public IP Address Mapping
To have the local computers and servers use specific WAN IP addresses, you need
to map static public IP addresses to them.
Note: The one-to-one NA T ad dress mapping rules are for both incoming and outgoin g
connections. The ZyXEL Device forwards traffic that is initiated from either the
LAN or the WAN to the destination IP address.
Note: The many-to-one or many-to-many NAT address mapping rules are for
outgoing connections only. That means only traffic initiated from the LAN or
returned packets are allowed to go through the ZyXEL Device.
In this example, you create two one-to-one rules to map the internal web server
(192.168.1.12) and mail server (192.168.1.13) to different static public IP
addresses. The many-to-one rule maps a public IP address (1.2.3.4, that is, the
ZyXEL Device’s WAN IP address) to outgoing LAN traffic. It allows other local

Note: To allow traffic from the WAN to be forwarded through the ZyXEL Device, you
must also create a firewall rule. Refer to Section 4.3.5 on page 77 for more
information.
4.3.4 Forwarding Traffic from the WAN to a Local Computer
A server NAT address mapping rule allows computers behind the NAT be
accessible to the outside world. To have the ZyXEL Device forward incoming tr affic
to a specific computer on your local network, you should also create a port
forwarding (server mapping) rule.
In this example, you want to forward FTP traffic using port 21 to the computer
with the IP address of 192.168.1.39.

4.3.6 Testing the Connections
1Open the web browser on one of the local computers and enter any web site’ s URL
in the address bar. If you can access the web site, your WAN connection and NAT
address mapping are configured successfully. If you cannot access it, make sure
you entered the correct information in the WAN and NAT Address Mapping
screens. Also check that the Internet account is active and the computer’s IP
address is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device.
2Open your web browser and try accessing the web server (1.2.3.5) from the
outside network. If you cannot access the web server, make sure the NAT address
mapping rule is configured correctly and there is a firewall rule to allow HTTP
traffic from the WAN to the web server.
3Try accessing the FTP server (1.2.3.4) from the outside network to send or
retrieve a file. If you cannot access the FTP server, make sure the NAT port
forwarding rule is active and there is a firewall rule to allow F TP traffic from the
WAN to FTP server.

4.4 Using NAT with Multiple Game Players
If two users (behind the ZyXEL Device) want to connect to the same server to play
online games at the same time, but the server does not allow more than one login
from the same IP address, you can configure a many-to-many rule instead of a
many-to-one rule.
In this example, you have four static IP addresses (1.2.3.4 to 1.2.3.7) from your
ISP. After you set up your WAN connection (see Section 4.3.2 on page 69), use
the NAT > Address Mapping screen to map the third and forth public IP
addresses to the mail server (192.168.1.12) and web server (192.168.1.13)
respectively. The first and second public IP addresses are mapped to other
outgoing LAN traffic. See Section 4.3.3 on page 72 for more information about IP
address mapping.

When you finish configuration, the screen looks as shown.
Figure 66 Tutorial Example: NAT Address Mapping Done: Game Playing
Note: To allow traffic from the WAN to be forwarded through the ZyXEL Device, you
must also create a firewall rule. Refer to Section 4.3.5 on page 77 for more
information.
