1.1 Overview

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the EMG1302-R10A.
The EMG1302-R10A Wireless N300 4-port Ethernet Gateway is an Ethernet Gateway that provides four Ethernet ports meeting the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless standard, and it features TR-069 remote management for telcos, service providers and cable operators as a home network solution interoperating an FTTx or cable infrastructure.
A range of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available for secure Internet computing.
CHAPTER 1

Introduction

1.2 Applications

Your can create the following networks using the EMG1302-R10A:
Wired. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the EMG1302-R10A so that they can communicate with each other and access the Internet.
Wireless. Wireless clients can connect to the EMG1302-R10A to access network resources.
WPS. Create an instant network connection with another WPS-compatible device, sharing your
network connection with it.
WAN. Connect to a broadband modem/router for Internet access.

1.3 Ways to Manage the EMG1302-R10A

Use any of the following methods to manage the EMG1302-R10A.
• WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). You can use the WPS button or the WPS section of the Web Configurator to set up a wireless network with your ZyXEL Device.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the EMG1302-R10A using a (supported) web browser.

1.4 Good Habits for Managing the EMG1302-R10A

Do the following things regularly to make the EMG1302-R10A more secure and to manage the EMG1302-R10A more effectively.
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide 13
Chapter 1 Introduction
Power InternetEthernet WLANWAN
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• 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 EMG1302-R10A to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the EMG1302-R10A. You could simply restore your last configuration.

Figure 2 Front Panel
Your EMG1302-R10A supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves.
For more information on using WPS, see Section 6.2 on page 41.

You may need screw anchors if mounting on a concrete or brick wall. Table 2 Wall Mounting Information
Distance between holes (measured from center to center)
M4 Screws Two Screw anchors (optional) Two
1 Select a position free of obstructions on a wall strong enough to hold the weight of the device.
2 Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.
Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall when drilling holes for the screws.
3 If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the anchors into the
full depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm.
If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.
10.25 cm
4 Make sure the screws are fastened well enough to hold the weight of the EMG1302-R10A with the
connection cables.
5 Align the holes on the back of the EMG1302-R10A with the screws on the wall. Hang the EMG1302-
R10A on the screws.

EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide

2.1 Overview

This chapter describes how to access the EMG1302-R10A Web Configurator and provides an overview of its screens.
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy setup and management of the EMG1302-R10A via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions, Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions, or Safari 2.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.
• JavaScript (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
CHAPTER 2

Introducing the Web Configurator

Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter (Chapter 22 on page 159) to see how to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet Explorer.

2.2 Login Accounts

There are two system accounts that you can use to log in to the EMG1302-R10A: “admin” and “supervisor”. These two accounts have different privilege levels. The web configurator screens vary depending on which account you use to log in.
The supervisor accounts allows you full access to all system configurations. The default supervisor user name is “supervisor” and password is “supervisor”.
With the admin account, you cannot access Remote MGMT. The default username is “admin” and password is “1234”.

2.3 Accessing the Web Configurator

1 Make sure your EMG1302-R10A hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer or
computer network to connect to the EMG1302-R10A (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2 Launch your web browser.
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide 17

Administrator Inactivity Timer field expires (default five minutes; go to Chapter
21 on page 151 to change this). Simply log back into the EMG1302-R10A if this
happens.

2.4 Resetting the EMG1302-R10A

If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET button at the back of the EMG1302-R10A to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to “supervisor” and the IP address will be reset to “192.168.1.1”.
Chapter 2 Introducing the Web Configurator

2.4.1 Procedure to Use the RESET Button

1 Make sure the power LED is on.
2 Press and hold the RESET button for at least 1 second to restart/reboot the EMG1302-R10A.
3 Press and hold the RESET button for at least 5 seconds to set the EMG1302-R10A back to its
factory-default configurations.

4.4 DHCP Table

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), RFC 2131 and RFC 2132 allow individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the EMG1302-R10A’s LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the EMG1302-R10A provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on that network, or else the computer must be manually configured.
Click the DHCP Table (Details...) hyperlink in the Status screen or Monitor > DHCP Table. Read-only information here relates to your DHCP status. The DHCP table shows current DHCP client information (including Host Name, IP Address, and Mac Address) of all network clients using the EMG1302-R10A’s DHCP server.
