P-2802HWL-I1P-2802HW-I1P-2802H-I1
P-2802HWL-I3P-2802HW-I3P-2802H-I3
Not all models include all features. Please refer to the following description of the product
name format.
• “H” denotes an integrated 4-port hub (switch). The “H” models also include Virtual
Private Network (VPN) capability.
P-2802H(W)(L)-I Series User’s Guide
35
Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
• “W” denotes wireless functionality. There is an embedded mini-PCI module for IEEE
802.11g wireless LAN connectivity. All wireless features documented in this user’s guide
refer to the “W” models only.
• “L” denotes the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) line feature. The PSTN line
lets you have VoIP phone service and PSTN phone service at the same time. All PSTN
line features documented in this user’s guide refer to the “L” models only.
"When the ZyXEL Device does not have power, the phone(s) connected to the
PHONE port(s) can still be used for making PSTN calls. Only one phone can
be in use at a time.
• Models ending in “1”, for example P-2802HWL-I3, 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).
1Only use firmware for your ZyXEL Device’s specific model. Refer to the label
on the bottom of your ZyXEL Device.
"All screens displayed in this user’s guide are from the P-2802HWL-I1 model.
See the appendix on Product Specifications for a full list of features.
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 (supported) web browser.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service
engineers.
• FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.
• 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.
• TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your device.

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
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.
1.4 Applications for the ZyXEL Device
Here are some example uses for which the ZyXEL Device is well suited.
1.4.1 Secure Internet Access
For Internet access, connect the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM jack on a splitter or your
telephone jack for Internet access. Connect computers or servers to the LAN ports for shared
Internet access.
The ZyXEL Device guarantees not only high speed Internet access, but secure internal
network protection and traffic management as well.
Figure 1 Secure Internet Access Application
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 for
example.
P-2802H(W)(L)-I Series User’s Guide
37
Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
Use content filtering to block access to web sites 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 QoS 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 voice over
Internet calls get enough bandwidth in your network, and/or limit bandwidth devoted to the
boss’s excessive file downloading.
1.4.2 Wireless LAN Application
Add a wireless LAN to your existing network without expensive network cables. Wireless
clients can move freely anywhere in the coverage area and use resources on the wired network.
Figure 2 WLAN Application Example
1.4.3 Making Calls via Internet Telephony Service Provider
In a home or small office environment, you can use your device to make and receive VoIP
telephone calls through an Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP).
The following figure shows a basic example of how you would make a VoIP call through an
ITSP. You use your analog phone (A in the figure) and your device (B) changes the call into
VoIP. Your device then sends your call to the Internet and the ITSP’s SIP server (C). The VoIP
call server forwards calls to PSTN phones (E) through a trunking gateway (D) to the PSTN
network. The VoIP call server forwards calls to IP phones (F) through the Internet.
38
P-2802H(W)(L)-I Series User’s Guide
Figure 3 Internet Telephony Service Provider Application
1.4.4 Making Peer-to-peer Calls
You can call directly to someone’s IP address without using a SIP proxy server. Peer-to-peer
calls are also called “Point to Point” or “IP-to-IP” calls. You must know the peer’s IP address
in order to do this.
Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
The following figure shows a basic example of how you would make a peer-to-peer VoIP call.
You use your analog phone (A in the figure) and your device (B) changes the call into VoIP
and sends the call through the Internet to the peer VoIP device (C).

VoIP Wizard And Example
This chapter shows you how to configure your SIP account(s) and make a VoIP phone call.
4.1 Introduction
The ZyXEL Device has Voice over IP (VoIP) communication capabilities that allow you to use
a traditional analog telephone to make Internet calls. You can configure the ZyXEL Device to
use up to two SIP based VoIP accounts.
This section describes how you can set up your ZyXEL Device to call someone who is also
using a VoIP device. Make sure your telephone is connected to the PHONE 1 port before you
start with our example.
In the following figure, A represents your phone and B represents the phone of the person you
would like to call.
Figure 25 VoIP Phone Calls
In order to make VoIP calls you need to register at least one SIP account on your ZyXEL
Device. You can register your SIP account in the VOICE OVER INTERNET SETUP
wizard.
4.2 VoIP Wizard Setup

7 To call other VoIP users, you need to follow a similar process to ensure that their SIP
account is registered and active. After it is registered, they need to provide you with their
SIP number. You can use your VoIP service provider’s dialing plan to call SIP numbers.
You can also use your VoIP service provider’s dialing plan to call regular phone
numbers. You dial a prefix number, provided to you by your VoIP service provider,
followed by a regular phone number.

CHAPTER 6
WAN Setup
This chapter describes how to configure WAN settings.
6.1 WAN Overview
A WAN (Wide Area Network) is an outside connection to another network or the Internet.
6.1.1 PPP over Ethernet
The ZyXEL Device supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an
IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a
broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPPoE 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 IP Address Assignment
A static IP is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP is not fixed; the ISP assigns you
a different one each time. The SUA (Single User Account) feature can be enabled or disabled
if you have either a dynamic or static IP. However the encapsulation method assigned
influences your choices for IP address and default gateway.

6.1.3 Nailed-Up Connection (PPP)
A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic
demand. The ZyXEL Device does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The
first is that idle timeout is disabled. The second is that the ZyXEL Device will try to bring up
the connection when turned on and whenever the connection is down. A nailed-up connection
can be very expensive for obvious reasons.
Do not specify a nailed-up connection unless your telephone company offers flat-rate service
or you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern.

CHAPTER 7
LAN Setup
This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
7.1 LAN Overview
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers
are attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same
building or floor of a building. The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server
and manage IP addresses.
See Section 7.4 on page 94 to configure the LAN screens.
7.1.1 LANs, WANs and the ZyXEL Device
The actual physical connection determines whether the ZyXEL Device ports are LAN or
WAN ports. There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other
outside the WAN network as shown next.
Figure 40 LAN and WAN IP Addresses
P-2802H(W)(L)-I Series User’s Guide
89
Chapter 7 LAN Setup
7.1.2 DHCP Setup
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the ZyXEL
Device as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the ZyXEL Device
provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If you turn DHCP service off, you must
have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.
7.1.2.1 IP Pool Setup
The ZyXEL Device is pre-configured with a pool of IP addresses for the DHCP clients (DHCP
Pool). See the product specifications in the appendices. Do not assign static IP addresses from
the DHCP pool to your LAN computers.
7.2 DNS Server Addresses
DNS (Domain Name System) maps a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice
versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP
address of a computer before you can access it. The DNS server addresses you enter when you
set up DHCP are passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP address and subnet
mask.
There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses.
• 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 DHCP Setup screen.
• Some ISPs choose to disseminate the DNS server addresses using the DNS server
extensions of IPCP (IP Control Protocol) after the connection is up. If your ISP did not
give you explicit DNS servers, chances are the DNS servers are conveyed through IPCP
negotiation. The ZyXEL Device supports the IPCP DNS server extensions through the
DNS proxy feature.
If the DNS Server fields in the DHCP Setup screen are set to DNS Relay, the ZyXEL
Device tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a computer sends a
DNS query to the ZyXEL Device, the ZyXEL Device acts as a DNS proxy and forwards
the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP and relays the response back to the
computer.
Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server
extensions. It does not mean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP setup under
all circumstances. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS servers, make sure that you enter
their IP addresses in the DHCP Setup screen.
7.3 LAN TCP/IP

The ZyXEL Device has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS
servers to systems that support DHCP client capability.
P-2802H(W)(L)-I Series User’s Guide
7.3.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a
LAN share one common network number.
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or
your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their
instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single
user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is
established. If this is the case, it is recommended that you select a network number from
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 and you must enable the Network Address Translation (NAT)
feature of the ZyXEL Device. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this
block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you
are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254
individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other
words, the first three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an
individual computer on that network.
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember,
for instance, 192.168.1.1, for your ZyXEL Device, but make sure that no other device on your
network is using that IP address.
Chapter 7 LAN Setup
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your ZyXEL Device
will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You
don't need to change the subnet mask computed by the ZyXEL Device unless you are
instructed to do otherwise.
7.3.1.1 Private IP Addresses
Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from
the Internet, for example, 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:
• 10.0.0.0 — 10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0 — 172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0 — 192.168.255.255
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or it can be assigned from 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”.
P-2802H(W)(L)-I Series User’s Guide

Chapter 7 LAN Setup
7.3.2 RIP Setup
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with
other routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets.
When set to:
• Both - the ZyXEL Device will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the
RIP information that it receives.
• In Only - the ZyXEL Device will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets
received.
• Out Only - the ZyXEL Device will send out RIP packets but will not accept any RIP
packets received.
• None - the ZyXEL Device will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets
received.
The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the
ZyXEL Device sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally
supported; but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most
networks, unless you have an unusual network topology.
Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that
RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.
7.3.3 Multicast
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1
recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to
a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1.
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish
membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. IGMP version 2 (RFC
2236) is an improvement over version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. If
you would like to read more detailed information about interoperability between IGMP
version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2236. The class D IP address is
used to identify host groups and can be in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The address
224.0.0.0 is not assigned to any group and is used by IP multicast computers. The address
224.0.0.1 is used for query messages and is assigned to the permanent group of all IP hosts
(including gateways). All hosts must join the 224.0.0.1 group in order to participate in IGMP.
The address 224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group.
The ZyXEL Device supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up, the ZyXEL Device queries all directly connected networks to gather group
membership. After that, the ZyXEL Device periodically updates this information. IP
multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the ZyXEL Device LAN and/or WAN interfaces in
the web configurator (LAN; WAN). Select None to disable IP multicasting on these
interfaces.
92
P-2802H(W)(L)-I Series User’s Guide
7.3.4 Any IP
Traditionally, you must set the IP addresses and the subnet masks of a computer and the
ZyXEL Device to be in the same subnet to allow the computer to access the Internet (through
the ZyXEL Device). In cases where your computer is required to use a static IP address in
another network, you may need to manually configure the network settings of the computer
every time you want to access the Internet via the ZyXEL Device.
With the Any IP feature and NAT enabled, the ZyXEL Device allows a computer to access the
Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the
computer, when the IP addresses of the computer and the ZyXEL Device are not in the same
subnet. Whether a computer is set to use a dynamic or static (fixed) IP address, you can
simply connect the computer to the ZyXEL Device and access the Internet.
The following figure depicts a scenario where a computer is set to use a static private IP
address in the corporate environment. In a residential house where a ZyXEL Device is
installed, you can still use the computer to access the Internet without changing the network
settings, even when the IP addresses of the computer and the ZyXEL Device are not in the
same subnet.
Figure 41 Any IP Example
Chapter 7 LAN Setup
The Any IP feature does not apply to a computer using either a dynamic IP address or a static
IP address that is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device’s IP address.
"You must enable NAT/SUA to use the Any IP feature on the ZyXEL Device.
7.3.4.1 How Any IP Works
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP
address) to a physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control or MAC
address, on the local area network. IP routing table is defined on IP Ethernet devices (the
ZyXEL Device) to decide which hop to use,
destination.
P-2802H(W)(L)-I Series User’s Guide
to help forward data along to its specified
93
Chapter 7 LAN Setup
The following lists out the steps taken, when a computer tries to access the Internet for the first
time through the ZyXEL Device.
1 When a computer (which is in a different subnet) first attempts to access the Internet, it
sends packets to its default gateway (which is not the ZyXEL Device) by looking at the
MAC address in its ARP table.
2 When the computer cannot locate the default gateway, an ARP request is broadcast on
the LAN.
3 The ZyXEL Device receives the ARP request and replies to the computer with its own
MAC address.
4 The computer updates the MAC address for the default gateway to the ARP table. Once
the ARP table is updated, the computer is able to access the Internet through the ZyXEL
Device.
5 When the ZyXEL Device receives packets from the computer, it creates an entry in the
IP routing table so it can properly forward packets intended for the computer.
After all the routing information is updated, the computer can access the ZyXEL Device and
the Internet as if it is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device.

mask computed by the ZyXEL Device.
exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls
the sending and receiving of RIP packets. Select the RIP direction from Both/In Only/Out Only/None. When set to Both or Out Only, the ZyXEL Device will
broadcast its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it will
incorporate the RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it will not send
any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.
packets that the ZyXEL Device sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving).
RIP-1 is universally supported but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is
probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network
topology. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the
difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses
multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines since they
generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIP
packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network
must use multicasting, also. By default, RIP direction is set to Both and the
Version set to RIP-1.
