Chapter 1

Getting to Know the AES-100

This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of your AES-100.

The AES-100 is an ADSL (Asymme trical Digital Subscriber Line) to Ethernet switch. It aggregates traffic from
up to 16 ADSL lines to Ethernet.

ADSL allows the coexistence of broadband data service and conventional voice service over the same telephone
wire. When deployed together with ZyXEL’s ADSL modems, e.g., P642M, and WAN routers, e.g., P1400, the
combination forms an integrated solution for providing broadband services to multiple tenant units such as

apartments, hotels, offices and campus buildings.

1.1 Features

Two-Slot Chassis

The AES-100 has two slots for the ADSL to Ethernet multiplexer modules. This design provides the flexibility
for you to install as few as a single module for the initial deployment and yet still has room to grow as demand
increases.

8-Port ADSL to Ethernet Multiplexer Modules

Each ADSL to Ethernet multiplexer module aggregates traffic from 8 lines to an Ethernet port.

Integrated Splitters

The integrated splitters eliminate the need to us e external splitters to separate voice-band and ADSL signals.

10 Mbps Ethernet Port

This 10 Mbps Ethernet port connects the AES-100 to an Ethernet network. With Ethernet as the backbone, you
can create a network that provides ADSL service to hundreds of subscribers.

1.2 Benefits

1.2.1 MTU Application

The following diagram depicts a typical application of the AES-100 is in a large residential building, or multiple
tenant unit (MTU), that leverages the existing phone line wiring to provide Internet access to all tenants.

A tenant connects a computer to the phone line in a unit using an ADSL modem. The other end of the phone line
is connected to a port on the AES-100. The AES-100 aggregates the traffic from the tenants to the Ethernet port
and forwards it to a router. The router then routes the traffic further to the Internet.

Figure 1-1 MTU Application

Getting to Know the AES-100 1 -3

AES-100 User’s Guide

1.2.2 ISP Application

The AES-100 can also be used by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) as an IP DSLAM. The AES-100 terminates
all of the ADSL ATM circuits and converts the traffic to IP packets. All IP traffic goes directly to the ISP’s
internal Ethernet network, before being routed to the Internet.

Figure 1 -2 ISP Application

1.2.3 Compact Design for Limited Space

The AES-100 occupies only 1.5 U of standard Telco rack space. Its compactness is perfect for collocation
(installation in a central office) and basement installation. Because the AES-100 has built-in POTS splitters,
service providers do not have to allocate extra space for POTS splitter shelves.

1.2.4 Scalable Platform for Future Expansion

The flexible design of the AES-100 series allows service providers to start with minimum cost. As the number of
users and applications increases additional AES-100s can be added to provide greater bandwidth.

Connect the other end (either a female 25-pin or female 9-pin) to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port)

2-2 Hardware Overview

AES-100 User’s Guide

of your computer. You can use an extension RS-232 cable if the enclo sed one is too short. After the initial setup,
you can modify the configuration remotely through telnet connections.

2.5 ADSL Port Connections

The line from the user carries both the ADSL and the voice signals. For each line, the AES-100 has a built-in
splitter that separates the high frequency ADSL signal from the voice band signal and feeds the ADSL signal to
the AES-100, while the voice band signal is diverted to the CO port.

To complete an ADSL connection, connect the line from the user equipment to the USER port and the line from
the central office switch or PBX (Private Branch Exchange) to the CO port. Make sure that the USER line and
the CO line are not shorted on the MDF (Main Distributio n Frame).

2.6 Rear Panel

Software Configuration

This section describes the general software configuration of the AES-100 through the command line

interface.

3.1 Command Line Interface

The AES-100 uses text command lines as the user interface for software configuration. Before discussing the
details of configuration, the rules of the commands are listed below.

1. The command keywords are in regular courier font.

2. The command keywords must be entered exactly as shown, i.e., no abbreviations are allowed.

3. The required fields in a command are enclosed in angle brackets (<>), e.g.,

list port <port number>

means that you must specify the port number for this command.

4. The optional fields in a command are enclosed in square brackets ([]), e.g.,

config [save]

means that the field save is optional.

5. “Command” refers to a command used in the command line interface (CI command).

Use of commands not documented in this manual is hazardous; you can render the system totally

unusable.

3.2 Console Connection

For the initial configuration, you must use the console port. After the initial setup, you can telnet to the system to
perform additional management tasks. To connect to the console port, use an RS-232 cable to connect the AES­100 to a serial (COM) port of a computer.

You can use any terminal emulation program, e.g., Windows’ built -in HyperTerminal, with the following
parameters:

§ VT100 terminal emulation

§ 9600 bps

§ No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit

• No flow control

3.3 Command Structure

The system uses a two-level command structure. The commands related to one subsystem are grouped under a
primary command of that subsystem, e.g., to configure the ADSL parameters, you must first enter the ADSL
subsystem by entering the adsl command. When you are in a subsystem, the system reminds you by including
the subsystem name in the command prompt, e.g.,

192.168.1.1 adsl >

To get back to the top level prompt from a subsystem, use the home command.

3.3.1 Help Facility

The system includes a help facility to provide you with online assistance.

• You can issue the help or ? command at any time. The system will print a list of available commands in

response.

• You can issue help with a command name to get more details about it, e.g.,

> help list

The system will respond with the detailed syntax of the list command.

3.4 System Commands

The system commands show you the system-related information. They are located on the top level of the two-level
command structure.

3.4.1 Uptime Command

The restart command instructs the system to perform a warm start, i.e., restarting the system without turning
the power on and off.

It is very important that you remember your password. If you forget it, refer to the Troubleshooting section

for help.

3.4.4 Passwd Command

Syntax:

passwd

The passwd command changes the management password. The management password is used for authentication
at console or telnet login. This command is only allowed for local console management sessions. The management
password must be from 1 to 8 characters long and any character is accepted. The factory default password is
“1234”.

3.4.5 Config Print Command

Syntax:

config print

The config print command lists all current system configuration settings.

3.4.6 Config Save Command

Syntax:

config save

The config save command saves all system configurations into nonvolatile memory. You must use this
command to save any configurations that you make, otherwise the AES-100 will return to its default settings when
it is restarted.

3.4.7 Exit Command

Syntax:

exit

The exit command terminates the console or telnet management session.

ADSL Configuration

The ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) subsystem allows you to configure and monitor the

ADSL ports.

4.1 ADSL Standards

The AES-100 supports both the G.lite and the G.dmt standards. G.lite is intended to minimize the cost for the
consumer market.

Table 4-1 ADSL Standards

STANDARD MAXIMUM DOWNSTREAM MAXIMUM UPSTREAM

G.dmt 8160 Kbps 1024 Kbps
G.lite 1536 Kbps 512 Kbps

4.2 Configured Vs. Actual Speed

You configure the maximum speed of the individual ADSL port using the set port command. However, due to
noise and other factors on the line, the actual speed may not reach the maximum that you specify.

Even though you can specify arbitrary numbers in the set port command, the actual speed is always a multiple
of 32 Kbps. If you enter a speed that is not a multiple of 32 Kbps, the actual speed will be the next lower multiple
of 32Kbps. For instance, if you specify 60 Kbps for a port, the actual speed for that port will not exceed 32 Kbps,
and if you specify 66 Kbps, the actual speed will not be over 64Kbps.

Note that when you configure an ADSL port, the upstream speed must be less than or equal to the downstream
speed. Note also that the list port command displays the configured parameters of the ADSL port, while the

show port command displays the actual speeds.

4.3 Default Settings

The factory default settings for all ADSL ports of the AES-100 are

- Encapsulation: RFC 1483

- Multiplexing: LLC-based

- VPI : 0

- VCI : 33

4.4.10 List Port Command

Syntax:

4-6 ADSL Configuration

AES-100 User’s Guide

list port <port number>

where

<port number> = port number, from 1 to 8

The list port command shows the configured maximum upstream/downstream speeds, the mode (or standard),
and enable/disable state of an individual ADSL port.

4.4.11 List Ports Command

Syntax:

list ports

The list ports command shows the configured maximum speeds, modes and states of all ADSL ports.

4.4.12 Set Port Command

Syntax:

set port <port number> <upstream speed> <downstream speed> <oper mode>

where

<port number> =
<upstream speed> =
<downstream speed> =
<oper mode> =

Port number ranging from 1 to 8 .
Maximum ADSL upstream speed in Kbps.
Maximum ADSL downstream speed in Kbps.
Operational mode; the available choices are glite , gdmt or auto .

The set port command sets the maximum upstream/downstream speeds and the mode, or standard, of an
individual ADSL port. Note that the upstream speed must be less than or equal to the downstream speed.

Even though you can specify arbitrary numbers in the set port command, the actual speed is always a multiple
of 32 Kbps. If you enter a speed that is not a multiple of 32 Kbps, the actual speed will be the next lower multiple
of 32Kbps. For instance, if you specify 60 Kbps for a port, the actual speed for that port will not exceed 32 Kbps,
and if you specify 66 Kbps, the actual speed will not be over 64Kbps.

The mode parameter specifies the standard that this port is allowed. When set to auto, the AES-100 follows
whatever mode is set on the other end of the line.

When the mode is set to auto and the negotiated mode is G.lite, if the configured speeds exceed those

allowed by G.lite, the actual speeds are governed by G.lite, regardless of the configured numbers.

4.4.13 Set Ports Command

Syntax:

set port s <upstream speed> <downstream speed> <oper mode>

where

ADSL Configuration 4 -7

AES-100 User’s Guide

<upstream speed> =
<downstream speed> =
<oper mode> =

Maximum ADSL upstream speed in Kbps.
Maximum ADSL downstream speed in Kbps .
Operational mode ; the available choices are glite , gdmt or auto.

The set ports command sets the same maximum upstream/downstream speeds and the mode, or standard, for
all ADSL ports. Note that the upstream speed must be less than or equal to the downstream speed.

The mode parameter specifies the standard that the ports are allowed. When set to auto, the AES-100 follows
whatever mode is set on the other end of the line.

When the mode is set to auto and the negotiated mode is G.lite, if the configured speeds exceed those

allowed by G.lite, the actual speeds are governed by G.lite, regardless of the configured numbers.

5.1 10 Mbps Ethernet

The AES-100 supports 10 Mbps Ethernet. In a 10 Mbps Ethernet, the duplex mode can be half duplex or full
duplex.

The Ethernet port uses the pre-configured duplex mode setting when making a connection, thus requiring you to
check the setting of the peer Ethernet port in order to connect.

5.2 Default Settings

The factory default setting for the Ethernet port of the AES -100 is

- Half duplex

Bridge Configuration

The bridge subsystem allows you to configure and monitor the bridging and port-based VLAN functions

of the AES-100.

The AES-100 supports IEEE 802.1d transparent bridging; but not the static filtering feature or spanning tree
protocol. The bridge learns the source MAC addresses of sender hosts by inspecting incoming Ethernet frames and
recording the learned MAC addresses with their incoming port numbers into its filtering database. Based on the
database, the bridge forwards each incoming frame to its destination port.

6.1 Bridge Port Numbers

The bridge subsystem of the AES-100 defines its own numbering convention for ports. The bridge has a total of
nine ports; bridge port 1 stands for Ethernet port, bridge port 2 stands for ADSL port 1, bridge port 3 stands for
ADSL port 2, and so on. Be sure you have clarified the relation between bridge ports and ADSL ports.

6.2 Port-Based VLAN

The VLAN (Virtual LAN) mec hanism can be used to limit the broadcast domain to the members of a VLAN
group only. Users of one group are not allowed to access the resources of other groups and a higher level of
security is achieved.

The AES-100 supports port-based VLAN, one type of VLAN implementation. Port-based VLAN requires each
incoming port to define its allowed outgoing ports. Ethernet frames are forwarded according to these rules.

6.2.1 Default Settings of Port-Based VLAN

The factory default settings for the port-based VLAN of the AES-100 are:

- Bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) allowed to all bridge ports

- Bridge port 2 (ADSL port 1) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 3 (ADSL port 2) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 4 (ADSL port 3) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 5 (ADSL port 4) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 6 (ADSL port 5) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 7 (ADSL port 6) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 8 (ADSL port 7) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

Bridge Configuration 6 -1

AES-100 User’s Guide

- Bridge port 9 (ADSL port 8) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only
It is recommended that you do not alter these settings, or the AES-100 may not work correctly.
The default VLAN settings allow each ADSL port to communicate back and forth with only the Ethernet port,

and not with other ADSL ports. The following figure illustrates this.

6-2 Bridge Configuration

AES-100 User’s Guide

The filterage command sets or shows the aging out timer period of the filtering database. It is recommended
that you use the default setting. If the time interval is reduced to a setting that is too short, it could increase
broadcast traffic and reduce the available bandwidth.

6.3.4 Flush Command

Syntax:
flush [port]

where

[port] = bridge port number, from 1 to 9

The flush command flushes out the filtering database of the specified bridge port. If the <port> field is omitted,
this command will flush out the filtering databases of all ports.

6.3.5 Info Command

Syntax:

info

The info command shows the software number of the bridge implementation and the maximum size of the
filtering database.

6.3.6 Status Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 > bridge

192.168.1.1 bridge> portfilter 2 1 3

192.168.1.1 bridge> portfilter 3 1 2

This example sets the allowed outgoing bridge ports of port 2 (ADSL port 1) to port 1 (Ethernet port) and port 3
(ADSL port 2). The allowed outgoing bridge ports of port 3 (ADSL port 2) are set to port 1 (Ethernet port) and
port 2 (ADSL port1). This way ASDL ports 2 and 3 can communicate with each other and the Ethernet port. You
can see the effects of this example by using the following command:

192.168.1.1 bridge> portfilter

IP Configuration

This chapter shows you how to configure the IP (Internet Protocol) parameters. The IP host

implementation in the AES-100 allows you to manage it over the network.

More often than not, you have more than one AES-100 for a particular installation. Before you start configuring
the AES-100s, make sure that you

1. Plan ahead.

2. Have a complete diagram showing the who le network.

3. Record the IP parameters assigned to the equipment in your network.

7.1 Setting the IP Address

To set the AES-100’s IP address, subnet mask and default route, use the following command sequence:

1. 192.168.1.1> ip

2. 192.168.1.1 ip> device delete ether

3. 192.168.1.1 ip> device add ether ether //bridge <new ip address>

4. 192.168.1.1 ip> route delete default

5. 192.168.1.1 ip> route add default 0.0.0.0 <default gateway> 00:00:00:00

6. 192.168.1.1 ip> config save

7. 192.168.1.1 ip> restart

Line 1 brings you to the IP subsystem.
Line 2 clears the old parameters of the AES-100.
Line 3 adds the new IP address for the AES-100. The system will automatically compute the subnet mask when

the system is restarted. If you want to specify a subnet manually, add the following two commands before line 4:

3.1 192.168.1.1 ip> subnet delete ether.home

3.2 192.168.1.1 ip> subnet add ether.home ether <subnet address> <subnet mask>

Where <subnet mask> is the subnet mask in hexadecimal, for example “ff:ff:ff:00”.
Line 4 deletes the existing default route.
Line 5 adds the new default route . The default route tells the system where the gateway (next hop) is when the

AES-100 sends packets to a destination that is not on the same subnet as the AES -100.
Line 6 saves the new configuration to the nonvolatile memory.

IP Configuration 7 -1

AES-100 User’s Guide

Line 7 tells the system to restart, in order to make the IP address configuration take effect. The AES-100 does not
need to be restarted after configuration of other items.

For example, if you want the AES-100 to have 172.21.100.1 as the IP address, 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask
and 172.21.100.254 for the default gateway, you may use the following command sequence:

192.168.1.1> ip

192.168.1.1 ip> device delete ether

192.168.1.1 ip> device add ether ether //bridge 172.21.100.1

192.168.1.1 ip> subnet delete ether.home

192.168.1.1 ip> subnet add ether.home ether 172.21.100.0 ff:ff:ff:00

192.168.1.1 ip> route delete default

192.168.1.1 ip> route add default 0.0.0.0 172.21.100.254 00:00:00:00

192.168.1.1 ip> config save

192.168.1.1 ip> restart

Figure 7-1 Setting IP Address and Default Gateway

The AES-100 leaves the factory with a default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, or
FF.FF.FF.0 in hexadecimal notation, and the default gateway set at 192.168.1.254. Make sure that you configure
the IP parameters correctly before you connect an AES-100 to the network, otherwise, you may interrupt services
already running.

7.2 General IP Commands

The following is a list of general IP commands that help with the management of the IP parameters.

7.2.1 C onfig Command

Syntax:

config [save]

This command shows the IP configuration. The save option saves the configuration to the nonvolatile memory.

7-2 IP Configuration

AES-100 User’s Guide

7.2.2 Ping Command

Syntax:

ping <host> [<ttl> [<size>]]

This is an IP facility to check for network functionality by sending an echo request to another IP host and waiting
for the reply. The host parameter specifies the IP address of the target. The optional ttl (time to live) limits the

number of hops (routers) that the echo request can travel before it reaches the target. The size parameter
specifies t he size of the payload, i.e., not counting the headers, of the echo request; the default size is 32 octets.

7.2.3 Statistics Command

Remote Management

This chapter shows you how to manage the AES -100 remotely.

More often than not, you will have the AES -100 located remotely making its remote management very useful.

8.1 Management by Telnet

After you have set up the IP parameters and connected the AES-100 to the network, you can manage it remotely
with telnet. You can use any telnet client that you find convenient. The configuration procedures with telnet are
exactly the same as those using the direct connection via the console port. The default password for a telnet
session is “1234”. Although telnet will work while the console port is being used, only one telnet session is
allowed at a time.

8.2 SNMP Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information
between network devices. The AES-100 supports SNMP version 2 agent functionality, which allows a manager
station to manage and monitor it through the network.

The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.

Remote Management 8 -1

AES-100 User’s Guide

Figure 8-1 SNMP Management Model

An SNMP managed network consists of two main component types: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the AES-100). An agent translates

the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is
the station throu gh which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes operations
that control and monitor the managed devices.

The managed devices contain objects that define each piece of information to be collected about a device.
Examples of variables include the number of packets received, node port status, etc. A Management Information
Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows manager and agents to communicate for the
purpose of accessing these objects.

SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a
request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:

♦ Get

Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.

♦ GetNext

Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPv1, when
a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a
series of GetNext operations.

♦ Set

Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.

♦ Trap

Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.

8.2.1 Supported MIBs

The AES-100 supports MIB II that is defined in RFC -1213 and RFC-1215 as well as transparent bridge MIBs
defined in RFC 1493. The AES-100 can also respond with specific data from the ZyXEL private MIB (ZYXEL­MIB).

8.3 SNMP Access Configuration

To control access to the agent in the AES-100, use the
“community” is SNMP ’s terminology for password. After configuring the SNMP access parameters, save the
configuration to the nonvolatile memory with the config save command. The default write community string is
“1234”, and the default read community string is “public”.

access

commands in the SNMP subsystem. Note that

8.3.1 SNMP Access Read/Write Command

This command revokes SNMP access by the specified community (password). If the IP address is specified,
access is denied for that manager station only.

8.3.3 SNMP Access Flush Command

Syntax:

access flush

This command revokes access by any and all manager stations.

8.3.4 SNMP Access List Command

Syntax:

access list

This command shows the allowed access.

8.4 SNMP Trap Configuration

The AES-100 uses the SNMP trapping facility to proactively report unusual events to one or more trap servers.
To configure the trap parameters, use the trap commands in the SNMP subsystem. After configuring the SNMP
trap parameters, save the configuration to the nonvolatile memory with the config save command.

8.4.1 Supported Traps

AES-100 supports the following traps

Configuration Backup/Restore

This chapter describes the process for backing up your user settings (configuration) from the AES-100

onto your computer and how to restore them to the AES-100.

The AES-100 uses TFTP for configuration backup/restore through its built -in TFTP server . You can use any
TFTP client to connect to the AES-100.

Do not turn off the AES-100 during the updating process, as it may corrupt the firmware and make your

AES-100 unusable.

9.1 Configuration Files of the AES-100

The AES-100 uses configuration files to store the user’s settings, so they can be applied the next time the AES ­100 is booted. The AES-100 has the following seven important configuration files:

initadsl =

The configuration file for ADSL ports.

resolve =
initbridge =
password =
services =
initether =
snmpinit =

The configuration file for IP parameters.
The configuration file for bridge settings.
The configuration file for the console and Telnet password.
The configuration file for IP services.
The configuration file for Ethernet port settings.
The configuration file for SNMP settings.

9.2 Control Files Used In TFTP Operation

TFTP is a simple file transfer protocol and lacks a password checking feature. The AES-100 requires users to
transfer a special file to achieve authentication functions. This file contains the SNMP’s write community string.
In addition, there may be more than one configuration file to restore into the AES-100, so it is necessary to tell the
AES-100 the beginning and end of the list of configuration files you want to restore. This wa y the AES -100 can
know when to write the restored configuration files to nonvolatile memory. There are three control files used in
TFTP operation:

tftplock.key =
tftpupdt.beg =

This file contains the SNMP write community string (password).
An empty file (with no content). Acts as a mark of the beginning of the

restore process, used only in restoration.

tftpupdt.end =

Configuration Backup/Restore 9 -1

An empty file (with no content). Acts as a mark of the end of the restore
process, used only in restoration.

AES-100 User’s Guide

9.3 Configuration Backup

You can backup all or some configuration files from the AES-100 to your computer. For example, to backup the
configuration of ADSL ports and IP settings, the procedure on your computer is as follows:

Step 1. Connect to the AES-100 with your favorite TFTP client. The command is generally

tftp <AES-100 IP address>

at the computer command prompt.

Step 2. Set the binary mode.

tftp> binary

Step 3. Transfer/Get the control file and configuration files to/from the AES-100

tftp> put tftplock.key

tftp> get initadsl

tftp> get resolve

where

tftplock.key =
initadsl =
resolve =

Step 4. Quit TFTP.

tftp> quit

The file containing the SNMP write community string (password).
The configuration file for ADSL ports.
The configuration file for IP parameters.

9.4 Configuration Restore

You can restore all or some configuration files from your computer to the AES-100. For example, to restore the
configuration of ADSL ports and IP settings, the procedure on your computer is as follows:

Step 1. Connect to the AES-100 with your favorite TFTP client. The command is generally

tftp <AES-100 IP address>

at the computer command prompt.

Firmware Upload

ZyXEL periodically releases new firmware for the AES-100 for bug fixes and enhancements. Please

check the web site at www.zyxel.com every now and then for the latest firmware release.

The AES-100 has two ways to update firmware; one is done through BOOTP/TFTP and the other uses TFTP. The
differences between these two methods are as follows:

♦ Update timing:

A BOOTP/TFTP update is done when the AES-100 is restarted, while a TFTP update is done during operation.

♦ Protocols used:

A BOOTP/TFTP update uses BOOTP and TFTP protocols, while a TFTP update uses TFTP protocol only.

♦ Remote update:

A BOOTP/TFTP update requires the AES -100 and your computer to be located on the same LAN, but a TFTP
update does not have this restriction.

♦ Firmware files used:

A BOOTP/TFTP update uses a file with a “.bin” extension name, while a TFTP update uses a file with an
“.img” extension name.

♦ The role of the AES-100:

A BOOTP/TFTP update uses the AES-100’s built -in BOOTP/TFTP client, and a TFTP update uses the AES­100’s built -in TFTP server.

♦ The impact to the AES-100:

A BOOTP/TFTP update overwrites the AES -100’s firmware and all configuration files, while a TFTP update
overwrites the AES-100’s firmware only.

10.1 BOOTP/TFTP Firmware Update of the AES -100

The AES-100 uses BOOTP/TFTP for firmware updates through its built-in BOOTP/TFTP client when the AES­100 is restarted. To update the firmware, first download it from the ZyXEL web site and store it on your computer.
You can use any BOOTP/TFTP server (for example, BootpTftp.exe) to update the AES-100’s firmware. The
update procedure for BootpTftp.exe is as follows:

Do not turn off the AES-100 during the updating process, as it may corrupt the firmware and make your

AES-100 unusable.

Step 1. Connect your AES-100’s LAN port to a computer’s LAN port directly using a crossover Ethernet cable,

or connect both to an Ethernet hub/switch using straight-through cables.

10.2 TFTP Firmware Update on the AES-100

The AES-100 uses TFTP for firmware updates through its built-in TFTP server when the AES-100 is operational.
To update the firmware, first download it from the ZyXEL web site and store it on your computer. You can use
any TFTP client to connect to the AES-100. The procedure for TFTP update is similar to the procedure for
restoring configuration.

Do not turn off the AES-100 during the updating process, as it may corrupt the firmware and make your

AES-100 unusable.

To update firmware by TFTP, the procedure is as follows:

Step 1. Connect to the AES-100 with your favorite TFTP client. The command is generally

tftp <AES-100 IP address>

at the computer command prompt.

Step 2. Set the binary mode.

tftp> binary
