CHAPTER 1
Getting To Know Your ZYXEL
This chapter describes the key features and applications of your ZyXEL Device.
1.1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
The ZyXEL Device is an ADSL2+ gateway that allows super-fast Internet access over analog (POTS)
or digital (ISDN) telephone lines (depending on your model).
In the ZyXEL Device product name, “R” denotes an integrated router and “F” denotes a chip set
standard.
Your ZyXEL Device product name ends with a number. Models ending in “1”, for example P-660R-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).
Models ending in “7” denote a device that works over T-ISDN (UR-2).
EVICE
D
Note: Only use firmware for your ZyXEL Device’s specific model. Refer to the label on the
bottom of your ZyXEL Device.
P-660R-F1 Series User’s Guide 19
Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your ZyXEL Device
1.2 Features
High Speed Internet Access
The DSL RJ-11 (ADSL over POTS models) or RJ-45 (ADSL over ISDN models) connects to your
ADSL-enabled telephone line. The ZyXEL Device is compatible with the ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+
standards. Maximum data rates attainable for each standard are shown in the next table.
Table 1 ADSL Standards
DATA RATE STANDARD UPSTREAM DOWNSTREAM
ADSL
ADSL2
ADSL2+
Note: If your ZyXEL Device does not support Annex M, the maximum ADSL2/2+
upstream data rate is 1.2 Mbps. ZyXEL Devices which work over ISDN do not
support Annex M.
832 kbps 8Mbps
3.5Mbps 12Mbps
3.5Mbps 24Mbps
The standard your ISP supports determines the maximum upstream and
downstream speeds attainable. Actual speeds attained also depend on the distance
from your ISP, line quality, etc.
Zero Configuration Internet Access
Once you connect and turn on the ZyXEL Device, it automatically detects the Internet connection
settings (such as the VCI/VPI numbers and the encapsulation method) from the ISP and makes the
necessary configuration changes. In cases where additional account information (such as an
Internet account user name and password) is required or the ZyXEL Device cannot connect to the
ISP, you will be redirected to web screen(s) for information input or troubleshooting.
Any IP
The Any IP feature allows a computer to access the Internet and the ZyXEL Device without
changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, when the IP
addresses of the computer and the ZyXEL Device are not in the same subnet.
Traffic Redirect
Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the ZyXEL Device cannot connect to
the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary if your regular WAN connection fails.
20
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the ZyXEL Device and other UPnP enabled devices can
dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the
network.

Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your ZyXEL Device
PPPoE (RFC2516)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your ISP to
use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL. The
PPPoE driver on the ZyXEL Device is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only
Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE clients on
individual computers. The ZyXEL Device also includes PPPoE idle time-out (the PPPoE connection
terminates after a period of no traffic that you configure) and PPPoE Dial-on-Demand (the PPPoE
connection is brought up only when an Internet access request is made).
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used
within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP
address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).
Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address,
allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must
register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) to obtain the
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The ZyXEL Device has built-in
DHCP server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and
DNS servers to DHCP clients. The ZyXEL Device can now also act as a surrogate DHCP server
(DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.
IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet
interface. The ZyXEL Device supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet
interface with the ZyXEL Device itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
Housing
Your ZyXEL Device's compact and ventilated housing minimizes space requirements making it easy
to position anywhere in your busy office.
1.3 Applications for the ZyXEL Device
Here are some example uses for which the ZyXEL Device is well suited.

Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your ZyXEL Device
1.3.1 Internet Access
The ZyXEL Device is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. It is compatible with all major
ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) providers and supports the ADSL
standards as shown in Table 1 on page 20.
Figure 1 Internet Access Applications
1.3.2 LAN to LAN Application
You can use the ZyXEL Device to connect two geographically dispersed networks over the ADSL
line. A typical LAN-to-LAN application example is shown as follows.

Introducing the Web Configurator
This chapter describes how to access and navigate the web configurator.
2.1 Web Configurator Overview
The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy ZyXEL 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.
• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
CHAPTER 2
See the chapter on troubleshooting if you need to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet
Explorer.
2.2 Accessing the Web Configurator
1 Make sure your ZyXEL Device hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2 Prepare your computer/computer network to connect to the ZyXEL Device (refer to the Quick Start
Guide).
3 Launch your web browser.
4 Type "192.168.1.1" as the URL.

5 A window displays as shown. Enter the default admin password 1234 to configure the wizards and
the advanced features or enter the default user password user to view the status only. Click Login
to proceed to a screen asking you to change your password or click Cancel to revert to the default
password.
Figure 4 Password Screen
6 If you entered the user password, skip the next two steps and refer to Section 2.4.2 on page 28 for
more information about the Status screen.
If you entered the admin password, it is highly recommended you change the default admin
password! Enter a new password between 1 and 30 characters, retype it to confirm and click
Apply; alternatively click Ignore to proceed to the main menu if you do not want to change the
password now.
Note: If you do not change the password at least once, the following screen appears
every time you log in with the admin password.
Figure 5 Change Password at Login
Note: The management session automatically times out when the time period set in the
Administrator Inactivity Timer field expires (default five minutes). Simply log
back into the ZyXEL Device if this happens to you.

Chapter 2 Introducing the Web Configurator
2.3 Resetting the ZyXEL Device
If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button at the back of the ZyXEL 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”.
2.3.1 Using the Reset Button
1 Make sure the POWER light is on (not blinking).
2 Press the RESET button for ten seconds or until the POWER light begins to blink and then release
it. When the POWER light begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the ZyXEL Device
restarts.
2.4 Navigating the Web Configurator
We use the P-660R-F1 web screens in this guide as an example. Screens vary slightly for different
ZyXEL Device models.
2.4.1 Navigation Panel
After you enter the admin password, use the sub-menus on the navigation panel to configure ZyXEL
Device features. The following table describes the sub-menus.
