Chapter 1 Introducing the VMG
• 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 VMG to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the VMG. You could simply restore your
last configuration.
1.4 Applications for the VMG
Here are some example uses for which the VMG is well suited.
1.4.1 Internet Access
Computers can connect to the VMG’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).
You can also configure IP filtering on the VMG 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 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.
1.4.1.1 DSL
Your VMG provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM jack on a
splitter or your telephone jack. You can have multiple WAN services over one ADSL or VDSL. The VMG
cannot work in ADSL and VDSL mode at the same time.
Note: The ADSL and VDSL lines share the same WAN (layer-2) interfaces that you configure in
the VMG. Refer to Section 6.2 on page 76 for the Network Setting > Broadband screen.

1.4.1.2 Ethernet WAN
If you prefer not to use a DSL line and you have another broadband modem or router (such as ADSL)
available, you can connect the Ethernet WAN port to the broadband modem or router. This way, you
can access the Internet via an Ethernet connection and still use the QoS, Firewall and parental control
functions on the VMG. The VMG cannot have Ethernet WAN and DSL connections at the same time.
Note that an Ethernet WAN connection has priority.

1.4.2 VMG’s USB Support
DSL
The USB port of the VMG is used for cellular WAN backup, file-sharing and media server.
Cellular WAN (3G) Backup
Connect a supported cellular USB dongle with an active SIM card to the USB port. This adds a second
WAN interface and allows the VMG to wirelessly access the Internet via a cellular network. The cellular
WAN connection is the failover or a backup in case the DSL or Ethernet WAN connection fails.
To set up a cellular connection, click Network Setting > Broadband > Cellular Backup.
To update the supported cellular USB dongle list, download the latest WWAN package from the Zyxel
website and upload it to the VMG using the Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade screen.

Chapter 1 Introducing the VMG
File Sharing
Use the built-in USB 2.0 port to share files on a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive (B). Use FTP to access
the files on the USB device.

Media Server
You can also use the VMG as a media server. This lets anyone on your network play video, music, and
photos from a USB device (B) connected to the VMG’s USB port (without having to copy them to
another computer).
Figure 5 USB Media Server Application
1.5 Wireless Access
The VMG is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebook computers, iPads, smart
phones, etc. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet
cables.
You can configure your wireless network in either the built-in Web Configurator, or using the WPS button.
See Section 1.6.4 on page 22 for more information about how to set up a wireless network with WLAN
and WPS buttons.

1.6.4 Using the WLAN and WPS Buttons
If the wireless network is turned off, press the WLAN button for more than two seconds. Once the WLAN
LEDs turn green, the wireless networks to 2.4GHz and 5GHz are active.
You can also use the WPS button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the VMG and
a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.
To activate WPS:
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on and not blinking.
2 Press the WPS button for more than five seconds and release it.
3 Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the VMG. The WLAN LEDs flashe
orange while the VMG sets up a WPS connection with the other wireless device.
4 Once the connection is successfully made, the WLAN LEDs shine green. Note that it depends on your
client’s configuration to have a 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless network.
5 If the wireless network is not successfully established via the physical WPS button, please set up with no
WPS method. See Section 4.3.3 on page 44 for more information.
