CHAPTER 1
Introducing the ZyXEL Device
This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the Z yXEL Device. It
also introduces the ways you can manage the ZyXEL Device.
1.1 Overview
The ZyXEL Device is a VDSL2 gateway that allows super-fast, secure Internet
access.
you can use Quality of Service (QoS) to efficiently manage tr affic on y our network
by giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers.
Please refer to the following description of the product name format.
• “H” denotes an integrated 4-port hu b (swi tch).
• “W” denotes wireless functionality. There is an embedded mini-PCI module for
IEEE 802.11g wireless LAN connectivity.
Only use firmware for your ZyXEL Device’s specific model. Refer
to the label on the bottom of your ZyXEL Device.
• Models ending in “1”, for example P-870HW-51a v2, denote a device that works
over the analog telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). Models
ending in “3”, for example P-870H-53a v2, denote a device that works over
ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) or T-ISDN (UR-2).
See Chapter 26 on page 241 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 Configur ator. This is recommended for everyday management of the ZyXEL
Device using a (supported) web browser.

• SNMP. The device can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See the SNMP
chapter in this User’s Guide.
• TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your
device.
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 device becomes
unstable or even crashes. If you forget y our password, you will hav e to reset the
ZyXEL Device to its factory default settings . If yo u backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the ZyXEL Device.
You could simply restore your last configuration.
1.4 Applications for the ZyXEL Device
Here are some example uses for which the ZyXEL Device is well suited.
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).

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
You can also configure IP filtering on the Z yXEL Devi ce for secure Internet access.
When the IP filter is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is
blocked by default unless it is initiated from y our network. This means that probes
from the outside to your network are not allowed, but you can safely browse the
Internet and download files.

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”.

1.6.1 Using the Reset Button
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 To 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.
1.7 The WPS WLAN Button (P-870HW Series only)
You can use the WPS WLAN ON/OFF button ( ) on the top 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.
1.7.1 Turn the Wireless LAN Off or On

2 Press the WPS WLAN ON/OFF button for one second and release it. The WLAN/
WPS LED should change from on to off or vice versa.
1.7.2 Activate WPS
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 Press the WPS WLAN ON/OFF button for more than five seconds and release it.
Press the WPS button on another WPS -enabled device within range of the ZyXEL
Device. The WLAN/WPS LED should flash while the ZyXEL Device sets up a WPS
connection with the wireless device.
Note: You must activate WPS in the ZyXEL Device and in another wireless device
within two minutes of each other. See Section 7.10.4 on page 109 for more
information.

CHAPTER 2
Tutorials
This chapter describes how to set up a wireless network.
2.1 How to Set up a Wireless Network
This tutorial gives you examples of how to set up an access point and wireless
client for wireless communication using the following parameters. The wireless
clients can access the Internet th roug h an AP wirelessly.
2.1.1 Example Parameters
SSID SSID_Example3
Security WPA-PSK
(Pre-Shared Key: ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey)
802.11 mode IEEE 802.11b/g
An access point (AP) or wireless router is referred to as “AP” and a computer with
a wireless network card or USB/PCI adapter is referred to as “wireless client” here.
We use the ZyXEL Device web screens and M-302 utility screens as an example.
The screens may vary slightly for different models.
2.1.2 Configuring the AP
Follow the steps below to configure the wireless settings on your AP.

2 Make sure the Active Wireless LAN check box is selected.
3 Enter “SSID_Example3” as the SSID and select a channel which is not used by
another AP.
4 Set security mode to WPA-PSK and enter “ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey” in
the Pre-Shared Key field. Click Apply.

2.1.3 Configuring the Wireless Client
This section describes how to connect the wireless client to a network.
2.1.3.1 Connecting to a Wireless LAN
The following sections show you how to join a wireless network using the ZyXEL
utility, as in the following diagram. The wireless client is labeled C and the access
point is labeled AP.
There are three ways to connect the client to an access point.
• Configure nothing and leave the wireless client to automatically scan for and
connect to any available network that has no wireless security configured.
• Manually connect to a network.
30
• Configure a profile to have the wireless client automatically connect to a specific
network or peer computer.
