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.
P-2612HNU-Fx User’s Guide

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).

Bridging (ADSL only)
IPoE/IPoA
PPPoE/PPPoA
WAN
ADSL/Ethernet
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.

1.3 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.

3.11 Configuring QoS Queue and Class Setup
This section contains tutorials on how you can configure the QoS screen.
Note: V oice traffic will not be affected by the user-defined QoS settings on the ZyXEL
Device. It always gets the highest priority.
Let’s say you are a team leader of a small sales branch office. You want to
prioritize e-mail traffic because your task includes sending urgent updates to
clients at least twice every hour. You also upload data files (such as logs and email archives) to the FTP server throughout the day. Your colleagues use the
Internet for research, as well as chat applications for communicating with other
branch offices.
In the following figure, your Internet connection has an upstream transmission
bandwidth of 10,000 kbps. For this exampl e, y ou want to configure QoS so that email traffic gets the highest priority with at least 5,000 kbps. You can do the
following:
• Configure a queue to assign the highest priority queue (7) to e-mail traffic from
the LAN interface, so that e-mail traffic would not get delayed when there is
network congestion.
• Note the IP address (192.168.1.23 for example) and/or MAC address
(AA:FF:AA:FF:AA:FF for example) of your computer and map it to queue 7.
Note: QoS is applied to traffic flowing out of the ZyXEL Device.
Traffic that does not match this class is assigned a priority queue based on the
internal QoS mapping table on the ZyXEL Device.

WAN Setup
5.1 Overview
This chapter discusses the ZyXEL Device’s WAN screens. Use these screens to
configure your ZyXEL Device for Internet access.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another
network or the Internet. It connects your private networks, such as a LAN (Local
Area Network) and other networks, so that a computer in one location can
communicate with computers in other locations.

5.1.2 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
Encapsulation Method
Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower
layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the
same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your
ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) or
PPPoA, they should also provide a username and password (and service name) for
user authentication.
WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the ZyXEL Device, which makes it
accessible from an outside network. It is used by the ZyXEL Device to
communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or
98
P-2612HNU-Fx User’s Guide
Chapter 5 WAN Setup
dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the ZyXEL Device tries to access the
Internet.
If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the
subnet mask and DNS server IP address(es).
ATM
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a LAN and WAN networking technology that
provides high-speed data transfer. ATM uses fixed-size packets of information
called cells. With A TM, a high QoS (Quality of Service) can be guaranteed. ATM
uses a connection-oriented model and establishes a virtual circuit (VC) between
two endpoints before the actual data exchange begins.
Finding Out More
• See Section 5.4 on page 113 for advanced technical information on WAN.
• See Chapter 3 on page 33 for WAN tutorials.
5.1.3 Before You Begin
You need to know your Internet access settings such as encapsulation and W AN IP
address. Get this information from your ISP.
5.2 The Layer 2 Interface Screen
The ZyXEL Device must have a lay er-2 interface to allow users to use the Ethernet
WAN port or DSL port to access the Internet. The screen varies depending on the
interface type you select.
Note: The ATM and Ethernet layer-2 interfaces cannot work at the same time.
