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.
