Introducing the ZyXEL Device

This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the ZyXEL Device. It also introduces the ways you can manage the ZyXEL Device.

1.1 Overview

The P-660HW-Tx v3 is an ADSL2+ router. By integrating DSL and NAT, you are provided with ease of installation and high-speed, shared Internet access. The P- 660HW-Tx v3 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 hub (switch).

•Models ending in “1”, for example P-660HW-T1, 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.

Note: All screens displayed in this user’s guide are from the P-660HW-T1 v3 model.

See the product specifications for a full list of features.

1.2 Ways to Manage the ZyXEL Device

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

•Web Configurator. 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.

	23
P-660HW-Tx v3 Series User’s Guide	23

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device

•FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.

•TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your device.

1.3Good 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.

1.4Applications for the ZyXEL Device

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

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device

1.4.1 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 Router Features

LAN

DSL

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.

Use content filtering to block access to specific web sites, with URL’s 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 block 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 computers. For example, you could make sure that the ZyXEL Device gives voice over Internet calls high priority, and/or limit bandwidth devoted to the boss’s excessive file downloading.

			but failed. Possible causes are no response from a DHCP
			server, no PPPoE response, PPPoE authentication failed.

		Off	The ZyXEL Device does not have an IP connection.

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for information on hardware connections.

1.6 The RESET Button

If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to use the RESET button at the back of the device 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”. You can also use the

1.6.1 Using the Reset Button

1Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).

2To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for ten seconds or until the POWER LED begins to blink and then release it. When the POWER LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the device restarts.

1.7The WPS WLAN Button

You can use the WPS WLAN ON/OFF button on the back of the device to turn the wireless LAN off or on. You can also use it to activate WPS in order to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.

Introducing the Web

Configurator

2.1 Overview

The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy device setup and management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.

In order to use the web configurator you need to allow:

•Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.

•JavaScript (enabled by default).

•Java permissions (enabled by default).

See Appendix B on page 375 if you need to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet Explorer.

2.1.1Accessing the Web Configurator

1Make sure your ZyXEL Device hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).

2Launch your web browser.

3Type "192.168.1.1" as the URL.

4A password screen displays. The ZyXEL Device has a dual login system. The default non-readable characters represents the user password (user by default). Clicking Login without entering any password brings you to the system’s status screen. To access the administrative web configurator and manage the
