CHAPTER 1
Introducing the ZyXEL Device
1.1 Overview
The ZyXEL Device is an ADSL2+ Integrated Access Device (IAD) that combines an
ADSL2+ router with Voice over IP (VoIP) communication capabilities to allow you
to use a traditional analog telephone to make Internet calls. By integrating DSL
and NAT, you are provided with ease of installation and high- speed, shared
Internet access. The ZyXEL Device is also a co m p l e t e security solution with a
robust firewall and content filtering.
Please refer to the following description of the product name format.
• “H” denotes an integrated 4-port hu b (s wi tc h) .
• “N” denotes wireless functionality, including 802.11n mode. There is an
embedded mini-PCI module for IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN connectivity.
• “U” denotes a USB port used to share files via a USB memory stick or a USB
hard drive. The ZyXEL Device can also function as a print se rver with an USB
printer connected.
• Models ending in “1”, for example P-2612HNU-F1, denote a device that works
over the analog telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). Models
ending in “3” denote a device that works over ISDN (Integrated Services Digital
Network) or T-ISDN (UR-2).
Only use firmware for your ZyXEL Device’s specific model. Refer
to the label on the bottom of your ZyXEL Device.
See the chapter on product specifications for a full list of features.
1.2 Applications for the ZyXEL Device
Here are some example uses for which the ZyXEL Device is well suited.

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
1.2.1 Internet Access
Your ZyXEL Device provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to
the DSL or MODEM jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. If you prefer not to
use a DSL line and you have another broadb and modem or router (such as ADSL)
available, you can push the DSL/WAN switch (on the rear panel) to the WAN
side and connect the WAN port to the broadband modem or router. This way, you
can access the Internet via an Ethernet connection and still use the QoS, Firewall
and VoIP functions on the ZyXEL Device.
Computers can connect to the ZyXEL Device’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).

You can also configure firewall on the ZyXEL Device for secure Internet access.
When the firewall is on, all inc o m ing traffic from the Internet to your network is
blocked unless it is initia t e d fr om 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.
Use QoS to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving priority to certain
types of traffic and/or to particular c omput ers. For example, you could make sure
that the ZyXEL Device gives voice over Internet calls hi gh priority, and/or limit
bandwidth devoted to the boss’s excessive file downloading.

1.2.2 VoIP Features
You can register up to 2 SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) accounts and use the
ZyXEL Device to make and receive VoIP telephone calls:
Figure 2 ZyXEL Device’s VoIP Application
The ZyXEL Device sends your call to a VoIP service provider’s SIP server which
forwards your calls to either VoIP or PSTN phones.

1.2.3 ZyXEL Device’s USB Support
Use the built-in USB 2.0 port to share files via a USB memory stick or a USB hard
drive (A). Alternatively, you can add a USB printer (B) and make it available on
your local area network.

1.3 Ways to Manage the ZyXEL Device
Use any of the following methods to manage the ZyXEL Device.
P-2612HNU-Fx User’s Guide
23
Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the
ZyXEL Device using a (supported) web browser.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting
by service engineers.
• FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.
1.4 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 setting s . 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.
1.5 LEDs (Lights)
The following graphic displays the labels of the LEDs.

1.6 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need
to use the RESET button at the back of the device to reload the factory-default
configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had
previously and the passwords will be reset to the defaults.
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for
ten seconds or until the POWER LED begins to blink and then release it. When the
POWER LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the device
restarts.
1.7 The WPS/WLAN Button
Use the WPS/WLAN button ( ) on the top of the device to turn the wireless
LAN off or on. Yo u can also use it to activate WPS in order to quickly set up a
wireless network with strong security. Make sure the POWER LED is on (not
blinking) before using the WLAN button.
•Press the WLAN button for one second and release it. The WLAN LED should
change from on to off or vice versa.
• Press the WLAN button for five seconds to turn on WPS. See Section 7.5 on
page 143 for more on using WPS to configure your wireless clients.
