CHAPTER 1
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-2302HWUD-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-2302HWUD-P1 is also a complete security solution with a robust
firewall and content filtering.
• The P-2302HWUDL-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.
This user’s guide refers to these models simply as the “ZyXEL Device”. Please refer to
Appendix A on page 287 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 VoIP 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.
P-2302HWUDL-P1 Series User’s Guide
33
Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
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 DECT Base Station Feature
Your ZyXEL Device has a built in Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT)
base station. DECT is an ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) standard
for digital cordless phones which specifies how they transmit, receive and process data and
voice communication. You can register any DECT GAP phone with the ZyXEL Device.
Figure 3 DECT Base Station Feature
A
You can use your DECT phone to make calls to other DECT phones registered with the
ZyXEL Device (A). These calls are referred to as internal calls.
You can also use your DECT phone to make VoIP calls (B). For the PSTN models, you can
also make calls via the PSTN line (C). These types of calls are referred to as external calls.

1.1.4 ZyXEL Device’s USB Support
Use the built-in USB 2.0 ports to share files via a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive (A).
You can also add a printer (B) and make it available on your local area network.
Figure 4 File Sharing Overview
Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device

1.1.5 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 5 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.
P-2302HWUDL-P1 Series User’s Guide
35
Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
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 traffic on your network by giving 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.
1.2 Ways to Manage the ZyXEL Device
Use any of the following methods to manage the ZyXEL Device.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the ZyXEL Device
using a web browser.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service
engineers.
• FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore (Chapter 18 on page 211)
• SNMP. The device can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See the SNMP chapter in this
User’s Guide.
• SPTGEN. SPTGEN is a text configuration file that allows you to configure the device by
uploading an SPTGEN file. This is especially convenient if you need to configure many
devices of the same type.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the ZyXEL Device
Do the following things regularly to make the ZyXEL Device more secure and to manage the
ZyXEL Device 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 your password, you will have to reset the ZyXEL Device to its
factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have
to totally re-configure the ZyXEL Device. You could simply restore your last
configuration.

3.4 Bandwidth Management Wizard
Use this wizard to control how much traffic can pass through your ZyXEL Device and the
priority of each service (application) that can use it. Each service you select is guaranteed a
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 bandwidth 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

CHAPTER 5
Wireless LAN
This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your ZyXEL Device.
See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.
5.1 Wireless Network Overview
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
Figure 36 Example of a Wireless Network
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.
P-2302HWUDL-P1 Series User’s Guide
79
Chapter 5 Wireless LAN
• Every device in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.
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 identification 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.

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.
80
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.
P-2302HWUDL-P1 Series User’s Guide
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 80 for information about this.)
Table 28 Types of Encryption for Each Type of Authentication

Chapter 5 Wireless LAN
NO AUTHENTICATIONRADIUS SERVER

WPA-PSKWPA
Strongest WPA2-PSKWPA2
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.
"It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger
encryption.
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.
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 88 for more details.
5.3 Additional Wireless Terms
The following table describes wireless network terms and acronyms used in the ZyXEL
Device.
Table 29 Additional Wireless Terms
TERMDESCRIPTION
RTS/CTS ThresholdIn a wireless network which covers a large area, wireless devices 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.

WAN
Use these screens to set up the ZyXEL Device on the WAN. You can configure the Internet
connection, DNS servers, and how the ZyXEL Device sends routing information using RIP. In
addition, you can set up a backup gateway in case the default gateway is not available.
6.1 WAN Overview
6.1.1 PPPoE Encapsulation
The ZyXEL Device supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an
IETF standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a
broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPP over Ethernet option is
for a dial-up connection using PPPoE.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with
existing access control systems (for example Radius).
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services,
a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily
create and offer new IP services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires
no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the ZyXEL Device (rather than individual computers),
the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the ZyXEL Device
does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have
access.
6.1.2 WAN IP Address Assignment
Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated
from the Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP
addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private
networks.
Table 38 Private IP Address Ranges
10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
P-2302HWUDL-P1 Series User’s Guide
95
Chapter 6 WAN
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by a private
network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the
ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if
you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for
the appropriate IP addresses.
"Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address;
always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address
assignment, please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets
and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.
6.1.3 MAC Address
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address
is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
The MAC address screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either
using the factory default or cloning your computer’s MAC address. Choose Factory Default
to select the factory assigned default MAC Address.
Otherwise, click Spoof this computer's MAC address - IP Address and enter the IP address
of your computer. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to the rom file
(ZyNOS configuration file). It will not change unless you change the setting or upload a
different ROM file.

It is recommended that you clone the MAC address prior to hooking up
6.1.4 RIP Setup
See Section 7.1.5 on page 107.
6.1.5 DNS Server Address Assignment
The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave
this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter
the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned
from the ZyXEL Device via DHCP.
Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and
vice versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is
extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before
you can access it.
96
The ZyXEL Device can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
1 The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet,
when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in the SYSTEM General screen.
P-2302HWUDL-P1 Series User’s Guide
2 If the ISP did not give you DNS server information, leave the DNS Server fields in the
SYSTEM General screen set to 0.0.0.0 for the ISP to dynamically assign the DNS
server IP addresses.
