CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your NVG2053
1.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the NVG2053.
The NVG2053 extends the range of your existing wired network without additional
wiring, providing easy network access to mobile users. You can set up a wireless
network with other IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible devices.
The NVG2053 supports Voice over IP (VoIP) technology to allow you to use an
analog telephone to make phone calls over the Internet.
The NVG2053 also supports 3G, which allows you to insert a 3G wireless adapter
in the USB port and use the 3G WAN connection as your WAN or a backup to
enhance network reliability.
You can enable NAT and use Quality of Service (QoS) to efficiently manage traffic
on your network by giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or to particular
computers.
1.2 Applications
Your can create the following networks using the NVG2053:
• LAN. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the NVG2053
so that they can communicate with each other and access the Internet.
• Wireless. Wireless clients can connect to the NVG2053 to access network
resources.

• 3G WAN. The USB port allows you to wirelessly connect to a 3G netowk to get
Internet access by attaching a 3G wireless adapter. You must leav e the Ethernet
WAN port unconnected and attached a 3G wireless card to use 3G as your WAN.
You can also have the NVG2053 use the 3G WAN connection as a backup. That
means the NVG2053 switches to the 3G wireless WAN connection after the
wired Ethernet WAN connection fails. The NVG2053 automatically changes back
to use the wired Ethernet W A N connection when it is available.

• VoIP Internet Calls. You can register up to two SIP (Session Initiation
Protocol) accounts and use the NVG2053 to make and receive VoIP telephone
calls. The NVG2053 sends your call to a VoIP service provider’s SIP server (A)
which forwards your calls to either VoIP or PSTN phones.

1.2.1 The WPS Button
You can use the WPS button ( ) on the top panel of the NVG2053 to activate
WPS in order to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 Press the WPS button for more than three seconds and release it. Press the WPS
button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the NVG2053.
Note: You must activate WPS in the NVG2053 and in another wireless device within
two minutes of each other. See Section 8.10.3 on page 114 for more
information.
1.3 Ways to Manage the NVG2053
Use any of the following methods to manage the NVG2053.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the
NVG2053 using a (supported) web browser.
• Wireless switch. You can use the built-in switch of the NVG2053 to turn the
wireless function on and off without opening the Web Configur ator.
• WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button. You can use the WPS button or the WPS
section of the Web Configurator to set up a wireless network with your ZyXEL
Device.
• TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your
device.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the NVG2053
Do the following things regularly to make the NVG2053 more secure and to
manage the NVG2053 more effectively.
• 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 y our password, you will hav e to reset the
NVG2053 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NVG2053. You
could simply restore your last configuration.

2.1 Overview
This chapter describes:
• How to Make a VoIP Call (see page 28).
• How to Set up a Secure Wireless Network (see page 31).
• How to Access the NVG2053 Using DDNS (see page 39)
• How to Route Traffic to Another Network Using Static Route (see page 41)
• How to Set Up NAT Port Forwarding (see page 43)
• How to Use QoS to Prioritize LAN Traffic (see page 45)
Note: The tutorials featured in this chapter require a basic understanding of
connecting to and using the Web Configurator on your NVG2053. For details,
see the included Quick Start Guide. For field descriptions of individual screens,
see the related technical reference in this User's Guide.
2.2 Getting Starting with the NVG2053
This quick overview provides pointers on where in this User’ s Guide y ou can go to
get started with configuring and using the NVG2053.
Your NVG2053 may have come pre-configured from your ISP. If
such is the case, changing any network settings may affect your
ability to get online or connect to other computers on your
network.
1 Install the device as described in the included Quick Start Guide.
2 Connect and login to the Web Configur ator at its default IP address as des cribed in
Section 4.2 on page 59. This is where you configure all available s e t ti n g s rel a ted
to your device and its network connections. Y ou will most lik ely need to connect to
the NVG2053 directly from your computer rather than over an existing network,
since the device’s default IP address won’t match that network’ s existi ng topology.

3 Once you’re in the Web Configurator, you can assign the NVG2053 a new Local
Area Network (LAN) IP address. This allows you to position in your LAN topology
where it is most beneficial to you. See Section 9.4 on page 123 for details.
4 If you were given settings to configure the NVG2053’s WAN connection, then you
can do so in Section 7.3 on page 83.
5 Finally, if you hav e a SIP accou nt and w ant to plac e phone calls o v er the Internet,

the VoIP service provider and got account information from your provider.
This section shows you examples of how to register your SIP account on the
NVG2053 and make Internet calls.
The following table shows the SIP account and SIP server address provided by
your service provider.
