Getting To Know Your ZyXEL

This chapter describes the key features and applications of your ZyXEL Device.

1.1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device

Your ZyXEL Device integrates a high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface and
a high-speed ADSL port into a single package.

Models ending in "1", for example P-660R-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 Synchronous Digital System). Models ending in "7" denote
a device that works over T-ISDN (UR-2).

CHAPTER 1

Device

Note: Only use firmware for your ZyXEL Device’s specific model. Refer to the label on

the bottom of your ZyXEL Device.

The web browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides easy management.

1.1.1 Features of the ZyXEL Device

The following sections describe the features of the ZyXEL Device.

High Speed Internet Access

The ZyXEL Device is an ADSL router compatible with the ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+
standards. It allows super-fast, secure Internet access over the analog (POTS) or digital
(ISDN) telephone line (depending on your model). Maximum data rates attainable for each
standard are shown in the next table.

Table 1 ADSL Standards

Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your ZyXEL Device 27

3.5Mbps 24Mbps

P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide

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.

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.

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.

PPPoE Support (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.

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).

P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide

10/100M Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface(s)

This auto-negotiation feature allows the ZyXEL Device to detect the speed of incoming
transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of
either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your
Ethernet network.

Auto-Crossover (MDI/MDI-X) 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Interface(s)

These interfaces automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.

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.

Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support

Your ZyXEL Device supports up to 8 PVC’s.

ADSL Standards

• Full-Rate (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1) with line rate support of up to 8 Mbps
downstream and 832 Kbps upstream.

• G.lite (G.992.2) with line rate support of up to 1.5Mbps downstream and 512Kbps
upstream.

• Supports Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.lite
(G992.2)).

• TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network layer protocol.

• ATM Forum UNI 3.1/4.0 PVC.

• Supports up to 8 PVCs (UBR, CBR, VBR).

• Multiple Protocol over AAL5 (RFC 1483).

• PPP over AAL5 (RFC 2364).

• PPP over Ethernet over AAL5 (RFC 2516).

• RFC 1661.

• PPP over PAP (RFC 1334).

• PPP over CHAP (RFC 1994).

Protocol Support

• DHCP Support

Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your ZyXEL Device 29

P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide

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.

• IP Policy Routing (IPPR)

Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router takes the
shortest path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to
override the default routing behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy
defined by the network administrator.

• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) link layer protocol.

• Transparent bridging for unsupported network layer protocols.

• RIP I/RIP II

• IGMP Proxy

• ICMP support

• ATM QoS support

• MIB II support (RFC 1213)

Networking Compatibility

Your ZyXEL Device is compatible with the major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexer) providers, making configuration as simple as possible for you.

Multiplexing

The ZyXEL Device supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Encapsulation

The ZyXEL Device supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC
1483 encapsulation over ATM, MAC encapsulated routing (ENET encapsulation) as well as
PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516).

Network Management
