Introducing the ZyXEL Device

This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the ZyXEL Device.

1.1 Overview

This user’s guide explains how to configure the following ZyXEL devices:

• The P-2302HW-P1 is a 4-port wireless router with Voice over IP (VoIP) communication
capabilities that allow you to use a traditional analog telephone to make Internet calls.
The P-2302HW-P1 is also a complete security solution with a robust fi rewall and content
filtering.

• The P-2302HWL-P1 adds a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line feature
which allows you to use your regular phone services and internet telephone services at the
same time.

P-2302HW/HWL-P1 Series User’s Guide

CHAPTER 1

This user’s guide refers to these models simply as the “ZyXEL Device”. Please refer to

Appendix A on page 283 for a complete list of features for your model.

1.1.1 VoIP Features

You can use the ZyXEL Device to make and receive VoIP telephone calls:

Figure 1 ZyXEL Device’s V oIP Features

• Peer-to-Peer calls (A) - Use the ZyXEL Device to make a call to the recipient’s IP address
without using a SIP proxy server.

• Calls via a VoIP service provider (B) - The ZyXEL Device sends your call to a VoIP
service provider’s SIP server which forwards your calls to either VoIP or PSTN phones.

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device 37

P-2302HW/HWL-P1 Series User’s Guide

1.1.2 VoIP Trunking Gateway

VoIP trunking allows you to use your ZyXEL Device as a gateway between VoIP and PSTN
networks.

Figure 2 ZyXEL Device as a VoIP Trunking Gateway

In this example, you use your analog phone (A) to call the ZyXEL Device (B). The ZyXEL
Device changes the call into VoIP and sends it via the Internet to another VoIP phone(C).

1.1.3 ZyXEL Device’s Router Features

Your ZyXEL Device provides shared Internet access through your existing Internet access
gateway (company network, or your cable or DSL modem for example). Computers can
connect to the ZyXEL Device’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).

Figure 3 ZyXEL Device’s Router Features

You can also configure firewall and content filtering on the ZyXEL Device for secure Internet
access. When the firewall is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is
blocked 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.

38 Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device

P-2302HW/HWL-P1 Series User’s Guide

Use content filtering to block access to specific web sites, with URL’s containing keywords
that you specify. You can define time periods and days during which content filtering is
enabled and include or exclude particular computers on your network from content filtering.
For example, you could block access to certain web sites for the kids.

Use bandwidth management to efficiently manage traf fic on your network by g iving priority to
certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers. For example, you could make sure that
the ZyXEL Device gives voice over Internet calls high priority, and/or limit bandwidth
devoted to the boss’s excessive file downloading.

small amount of bandwidth. The remaining bandwidth is divided by priority. If one service has
higher priority than another , then the first service uses as much of the remaining bandwidt h as
it needs. If there is no more bandwidth for the second service, then it waits. If you do not select
a service in this wizard (or if you do not find a particular service), the service can still use
bandwidth, but it does not have any guaranteed amount and it has the lowest priority. See

88 Chapter 4 Status Screens

This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your ZyXEL Device.

5.1 Wireless Network Overview

The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.

Figure 38 Example of a Wireless Network

P-2302HW/HWL-P1 Series User’s Guide

CHAPTER 5

Wireless LAN

The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B
use the access point (AP) to interact with the other devices (such as the printer) or with the
Internet. Your ZyXEL Device is the AP.

Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.

• Every device in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.

• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use a different channel.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel,

or frequency, to send and receive information.

• Every device in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.

Chapter 5 Wireless LAN 89

P-2302HW/HWL-P1 Series User’s Guide

Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect
the information that is sent in the wireless network.

5.2 Wireless Security Overview

The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the
wireless network.

5.2.1 SSID

Normally , the ZyXEL Device acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area.
You can hide the SSID instead, in which case the ZyXEL Device does not broadcast the SSID.
In addition, you should change the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.

This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized wireless
devices to get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized wireless devices can still see the
information that is sent in the wireless network.

5.2.2 MAC Address Filter

Every device that can use a wireless network has a unique identificatio n number, called a
MAC address.
example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each device in
the wireless network, see the device’s User’s Guide or other documentation.

You can use the MAC address filter to tell the ZyXEL Device which devices are allowed or
not allowed to use the wireless network. If a device is allowed to use the wireless network, it
still has to have the correct information (SSID, channel, and security). If a device is not
allowed to use the wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct information.

This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.
Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless devices to get the MAC address of an
authorized device. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network.

1

A MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for

5.2.3 User Authentication

You can make every user log in to the wireless network before they can use it. This is called
user authentication. However, every device in the wireless network has to support IEEE

802.1x to do this.

For wireless networks, user names and passwords for each user can be stored in a RADIUS
server.

1. Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless
networks. These kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses.

2. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F.

90 Chapter 5 Wireless LAN

Unauthorized wireless devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network,
even if they cannot use the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized
wireless users to get a valid user name and password. Then, they can use that user name and
password to use the wireless network.

5.2.4 Encryption

Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless
network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot
understand the message.

The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of authentication. (See section

5.2.3 on page 90 for information about this.)

Table 32 Types of Encryption for Each Type of Authentication

Weakest None

P-2302HW/HWL-P1 Series User’s Guide

No Authentication RADIUS Server

Static WEP

WPA-PSK WPA

Strongest WPA2-PSK WPA2

For example, if the wireless network has a RADIUS server, you can choose WPA or WPA2. If
users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no encryption, Static WEP, WPA-
PSK, or WPA2-PSK.

Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every device in the wireless network
supports. For example, suppose you have a wireless network with the ZyXEL Device. The
ZyXEL Device does not have a local user database, and you do not have a RADIUS server.
Therefore, there is no authentication. Suppose the wireless network has two devices. Device A
only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA. Therefore, you should set up
Static WEP in the wireless network.

Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger

encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it
is still possible for unauthorized wireless devices to figure out the original
information pretty quickly.

When you select WPA2 or WPA2-PSK in your ZyXEL Device, you can also select an option
(WPA compatible) to support WPA as well. In this case, if some of the devices support WPA
and some support WPA2, you should set up WPA2-PSK or WPA2 (depending on the type of
wireless network login) and select the WPA compatible option in the ZyXEL Device.

Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The
longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every device in the wireless network must have the
same key.

Chapter 5 Wireless LAN 91

P-2302HW/HWL-P1 Series User’s Guide

5.2.5 One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology (OTIST)

With ZyXEL’s OTIST, you set up the SSID and the encryption (WEP or WPA-PSK) on the
ZyXEL Device. Then, the ZyXEL Device transfers them to the devices in the wireless
networks. As a result, you do not have to set up the SSID and encryption on every device in
the wireless network.

The devices in the wireless network have to support OTIST , and they have to be in range of the
ZyXEL Device when you activate it. See section 5.5 on page 99 for more details.

5.3 Additional Wireless Terms

The following table describes wireless network terms and acronyms used in the ZyXEL
Device.

Table 33 Additional Wireless Terms

TERM DESCRIPTION

RTS/CTS Threshold In a wireless network which covers a large area, wireless de vices are

sometimes not aware of each other’s presence. This may cause them to send
information to the AP at the same time and result in information colliding and
not getting through.

By setting this value lower than the default value, the wireless devices must
sometimes get permission to send information to the ZyXEL Device. The lower
the value, the more often the devices must get permission.

If this value is greater than the fragmentation threshold value (see below), then
wireless devices never have to get permission to send information to the
ZyXEL Device.

wireless network.

Max. Frame Burst Enable this to improve the performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed

IEEE 802.1 1b/g networks. Maximum Frame Burst sets the maximum time that
the ZyXEL Device transmits IEEE 802.11g wireless traffic only.

Fragmentation
Threshold

A small fragmentation threshold is recommended for busy networks, while a
larger threshold provides faster performance if the network is not very busy.
