CHAPTER 1
Introducing the P-330W
This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the P-330W. It also introduces
the ways you can manage the P-330W.
1.1 Overview
The P-330W is the ideal secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and LAN’s.
By integrating NAT, firewall, wireless access point and 4-port switch, ZyXEL’s P-330W is a
complete security solution that protects your Intranet and efficiently manages data traffic on
your network. You can also use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to set up a wireless network
quickly and easily.
See Section 10.1 on page 123 for a complete list of features.
You can connect a cable modem, DSL or wireless modem to the P-330W for broadband
Internet access via an Ethernet or a wireless port on the modem. The P-330W guarantees not
only high speed Internet access, but secure internal network protection and traffic management
as well.
Figure 1 Secure Internet Access with the P-330W
Add a wireless LAN to your existing network without expensive network cables. Wireless
stations can move freely anywhere in the coverage area and use resources on the wired
network.

1.2 Ways to Manage the P-330W
Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the P-330W using a
(supported) web browser. See Chapter 2 on page 29.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the P-330W
Do the following things regularly to make the P-330W more secure and to manage the P330W more effectively.
• Change the default admin password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that
consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an
earlier working configuration may be useful if the P-330W becomes unstable or even
crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the P-330W to its factory
default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to
totally re-configure the P-330W. You could simply restore your last configuration.

CHAPTER 2
Introducing the Web
Configurator
This chapter describes how to access the P-330W web configurator and provides an overview
of its screens.
2.1 Web Configurator Overview
The embedded web configurator allows you to manage the P-330W from anywhere through a
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Use Internet Explorer 6.0
and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions with JavaScript enabled. It is
recommended that you set your screen resolution to 1024 by 768 pixels. The screens you see
in the web configurator may vary somewhat from the ones shown in this document due to
differences between individual P-330W models or firmware versions.
2.2 Accessing the P-330W Web Configurator
1 Make sure your P-330W hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer/
computer network to connect to the P-330W (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2 Launch your web browser.
3 Type "192.168.10.1" as the URL.
4 Type “admin” as the User Name
5 Type "1234" (default) as the password.
6 Click OK to login.
You should now see the MAIN MENU screen.
" The management session automatically times out when there has been no
activity for several minutes. Simply log back into the P-330W if this happens to
you.

Chapter 2 Introducing the Web Configurator
2.2.1 Resetting the P-330W
If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to use the
RESET button at the back of the P-330W to reload the factory-default configuration file. This
means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be
reset to “1234”.
Procedure To Use The Reset Button
1 Make sure the PWR LED is on (not blinking).
2 Press the RESET button for approximately ten seconds or until the PWR LED begins to
blink and then release it. When the PWR LED begins to blink, the defaults have been
restored and the P-330W restarts. (If you press the RESET button for less than 5
seconds, the P-330W will reboot, but will not reset the configuration).
2.2.2 Navigating the P-330W Web Configurator
The following summarizes how to navigate the web configurator from the SITE MAP screen.
• Click SETUP WIZARD for initial configuration including general setup, Wireless LAN
Setup, ISP parameters for Internet Access and WAN IP/DNS Server/MAC address
assignment.
• Click a link under WIRELESS to configure wireless settings.
• Click a link under ADVANCED to configure advanced P-330W features.
• Click LOGOUT at any time to exit the web configurator.
• Click ADMINISTRATOR to view information about your P-330W or upgrade
configuration/firmware files. Administrator includes Statistics, Remote Management,
Upgrade Firmware, Config File (Backup, Restore, Defaults) and Time Zone Settings.
