ZyWALL 5 Internet Security Appliance

Introducing the ZyWALL

The ZyWALL 5 is the ideal secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the LAN. By integrating NAT, firewall, content filtering, certificates and VPN capability, ZyXEL’s ZyWALL 5 is a complete security solution that protects your Intranet and efficiently manages data traffic on your network. The ZyWALL increases network security by adding up to four De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) ports for use with publicly accessible servers. Dial backup and traffic redirect enhance reliability.

The PCMCIA/CardBus slot allows you to add a 802.11b/g-compliant wireless LAN. The embedded web configurator is easy to operate and totally independent of the operating system platform you use. You can deploy the ZyWALL as a transparent firewall in an existing network with minimal configuration.

You should have an Internet account already set up and have been given most of the following information.

The example figures in this section are for a ZyWALL in router mode. The ZyWALL is set to router mode by default. To have the ZyWALL function as a bridge, select Bridge and click Apply in the

MAINTENANCE Device Mode screen.

1.Router Mode: Connect your cable/DSL modem to WAN port with the Ethernet cable that came with your modem.

Bridge Mode: Connect a router to WAN port with an Ethernet cable..

2.Router Mode: Connect computers or switches to LAN ports with Ethernet cables.

If you configure these ports as DMZ ports in the LAN or DMZ screen through the Web configurator, connect publicly accessible servers (Web, FTP, etc.) to these ports to make the servers visible to the outside world.

Bridge Mode: Connect computers or switches to LAN/DMZ ports with Ethernet cables.

Do not force, bend or twist the wireless LAN card.

4.Router Mode: If you want to set up a backup WAN connection, connect the 9-pin female end of your modem or Terminal Adaptor (TA) cable to DIAL BACKUP port and the other end to your modem or TA.

Bridge Mode: There is no backup WAN connection for the ZyWALL in bridge mode.

5.If you want to configure the ZyWALL using the SMT (System Management Terminal) via CONSOLE port, connect the 9-pin male end of the console cable to the console port of the ZyWALL and the other end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) on your computer.

6.After you’ve made the connections, connect the included power adaptor to the power socket and connect the power adaptor to a power supply (outlet).

The PWR LED turns on green when you connect the power. The SYS LED blinks for about 30 seconds while performing system testing and then stays on if the testing is successful.
