CHAPTER 1

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 ZyXEL Device is an ADSL2+ gateway that allows fast, secure Internet access over analog (POTS) or digital (ISDN) telephone lines (depending on your model). It is also an ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) router and modem with wireless capability. See Chapter
19 on page 193 for a complete list of features.
In the ZyXEL Device product name, “W” denotes an included wireless LAN card that provides wireless connectivity.
Models ending in “1”, for example P-660W-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).
Figure 1 High-speed Internet Access with the ZyXEL Device
INTERNET
Connect your computer(s) to the ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device uses the phone line to provide high-speed Internet access to the computer(s). You can continue to use the phone line for regular phone calls as well. See the Quick Start Guide for instructions on making these connections.

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device

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. See Chapter 2 on page 31.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service engineers. See the CLI Reference Guide.
• FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See Chapter 17 on page 181.

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 ZyXEL 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.
