• “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 server with a USB printer connected.
• Models ending in “1”, for example P-660HN-T1, 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).
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Only use firmware for your ZyXEL Device’s specific model. Refer to the
label on the bottom of your ZyXEL Device.
Note: Not all models have all of the features shown in this User’s Guide.
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.
• TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your device.
ADSL Router Series User’s Guide23
Chapter 1 Introduction
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 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. Computers can connect to the ZyXEL Device’s
LAN ports (or wirelessly).
Figure 1 ZyXEL Device’s Router Features
LAN
You can also configure firewall and filtering feature 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.
DSL
24
Use the filtering feature to block access to specific web sites or Internet applications such as MSN or
Yahoo Messenger. You can also configure IP/MAC filtering rules for incoming or outgoing traffic.
ADSL Router Series User’s Guide
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 the ZyXEL Device gives
voice over Internet calls high priority, and/or limit bandwidth devoted to the boss’s excessive file
downloading.
1.5 Wireless Access
The ZyXEL Device is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebook computers
or PDAs and iPads. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient
Ethernet cables.
You can configure your wireless network in either the built-in Web Configurator, or using the WPS
button.
Figure 2 Wireless Access Example
Chapter 1 Introduction
However, before you can use this ZyXEL Device to create a wireless network, you must set its
country code first in the Web Configurator. This is very important.
To set the wireless country code:
1Log into the ZyXEL Device’s built-in Web Configurator. See Chapter 8 on page 123.
2Open the Network > Wireless LAN > AP screen.
3Select your country from the Channel Selection list. See Section 8.2 on page 125 for details.
4Click Apply to save your changes.
5Finally, open the Internet and Wireless Configuration wizards to set up your network. See Chapter 5
on page 79.
1.5.1 Using the WPS/WLAN Button
By default, the wireless network on the ZyXEL Device is turned on. To turn it off, simply press the
WPS/WLAN button on top of the device for over 5 seconds. When the WPS/WLAN LED is green,
the wireless network is active.
You can also use the WPS/WLAN button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between
the ZyXEL Device and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.
ADSL Router Series User’s Guide
25
Chapter 1 Introduction
To activate WPS:
1Make sure the POWER LED is on and not blinking.
2Press the WPS/WLAN button for 1-5 seconds and release it. See below for WPS button location.
P-660HN-T1H
P-660HN-TxA, P-660HN-Tx,
P-660N-TxA
3Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the ZyXEL Device. The WPS/
WLAN LED should flash while the ZyXEL Device sets up a WPS connection with the other wireless
device.
4Once the connection is successfully made, the WPS/WLAN LED shines green.
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 user name and password will be reset to
the default.
P-660HNU-Tx, P-660HU-Tx

and the throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you want some applications to
have more throughput, you should turn off other applications (for example, using QoS;
see Chapter 16 on page 209).
Usually, this percentage should not increase much. If memory usage does get close to
100%, the ZyXEL Device is probably becoming unstable, and you should restart the
device. See Section 25.4 on page 275, or turn off the device (unplug the power) for a
few seconds.

4.3.1 6to4 Tunneling
In 6to4 tunneling, ZyXEL Devices (A and B in the example network) forward IPv4 packets between
IPv6 networks (1 and 2) over the IPv4 Internet.
In the Network > WAN screen’s IPv6 Address configuration section, select 6to4 Tunneling and
6RD Enable.
The ZyXEL Device will attempt to obtain a 6to4 tunnel prefix from the ISP. For LAN addresses, the
ZyXEL Device will use this prefix for encapsulating IPv4 packets in IPv6 format. If it cannot obtain
this prefix, it will use the default prefix 2002://16 to encapsulate the packets.

4.4 Setting Up a Secure Wireless Network
Thomas wants to set up a wireless network so that he can use his notebook to access the Internet.
In this wireless network, the ZyXEL Device serves as an access point (AP), and the notebook is the
wireless client. The wireless client can access the Internet through the AP.
Thomas has to configure the wireless network settings on the ZyXEL Device. Then he can set up a
wireless network using WPS (Section 4.4.2 on page 46) or manual configuration (Section 4.4.3 on
page 50).
4.4.1 Configuring the Wireless Network Settings
This example uses the following parameters to set up a wireless network. In the client, choose the
AP with the SSID configured here. When prompted for a key, use the Pre-Shared Key configured
here.
1Click Network > Wireless LAN to open the AP screen. Configure the screen using the provided
parameters (see page 45). Click Apply.
EXAMPLE
2Click the Advanced Setup button and select 802.11b+g+n in the 802.11 Mode field. Click
Apply.
Thomas can now use the WPS feature to establish a wireless connection between his notebook and
the ZyXEL Device (see Section 4.4.2 on page 46). He can also use the notebook’s wireless client to
search for the ZyXEL Device (see Section 4.4.3 on page 50).
4.4.2 Using WPS
This section shows you how to set up a wireless network using WPS. WPS is a way to automatically
set up a secure wireless network connection between an AP and a notebook. Limitations of using
WPS are that is must be done two devices at a time and within two minutes. It uses the ZyXEL
Device as the AP and ZyXEL NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to the notebook.
46
ADSL Router Series User’s Guide
Chapter 4 Tutorials
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
or PCMCIA card).
There are two WPS methods to set up the wireless client settings:
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - simply press a button. This is the easier of the two
methods.
• PIN Configuration - configure a Personal Identification Number (PIN) on the ZyXEL Device. A
wireless client must also use the same PIN in order to download the wireless network settings
from the ZyXEL Device.
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1Make sure that your ZyXEL Device is turned on and your notebook is within the cover range of the
wireless signal.
2Make sure that you have installed the wireless client driver and utility in your notebook.
3In the wireless client utility, go to the WPS setting page. Enable WPS and press the WPS button
(Start or WPS button).
4Push and hold the WPS button located on the ZyXEL Device’s rear panel for 1-5 seconds.
Alternatively, you may log into ZyXEL Device’s web configurator and click the Push Button in the
Network > Wireless LAN > WPS Station screen.
Note: Your ZyXEL Device has a WPS button located on its rear panel as well as a WPS
button in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function: you
can use one or the other.
Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button
within two minutes of pressing the first one.
The ZyXEL Device sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to
two minutes. The wireless client is then able to communicate with the ZyXEL Device securely.

4.9 Configuring Static Route for Routing to Another
Network
In order to extend your Intranet and control traffic flowing directions, you may connect a router to
the ZyXEL Device’s LAN. The router may be used to separate two department networks. This
tutorial shows how to configure a static routing rule for two network routings.
In the following figure, router R is connected to the ZyXEL Device’s LAN. R connects to two
networks, N1 (192.168.1.x/24) and N2 (192.168.10.x/24). If you want to send traffic from
computer A (in N1 network) to computer B (in N2 network), the traffic is sent to the ZyXEL
Device’s WAN default gateway by default. In this case, B will never receive the traffic.
N1
A
R
N2

4.10 Port Binding Configuration
This tutorial shows you how to configure port binding for WAN connections with different ATM QoS
settings for different types of traffic. The port binding feature is used to group each WAN connection
with specific LAN ports and WLANs. In this example ATM QoS settings are configured for a WAN PVC
for time sensitive Media-On-Demand (MOD) traffic. ATM QoS settings are also configured for
another WAN PVC for non-time sensitive data traffic.
4.10.1 Configuring ATM QoS for Multiple WAN Connections
This example shows an application for multiple WAN connections with different ATM QoS Settings.
More than one WAN connection on the ZyXEL Device may be configured to record traffic statistics or
calculate service charges.
Three WAN connections are configured over the ADSL line:
Chapter 4 Tutorials
• The connection with VPI/VCI, 0/33, is dedicated for general data transmission.
• The connection with VPI/VCI, 0/34, is dedicated for VoIP service.
• The connection with VPI/VCI, 0/35, is dedicated for Media-On-Demand (MOD) service.
To configure bandwidth for the WAN connections, access the WAN configuration Advanced Setup
screen by clicking Network > WAN. Click Advanced Setup.

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 e-mail 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 you want to configure QoS so that e-mail traffic gets the highest priority. You
can do the following:
• Configure a queue to assign the highest priority queue (1) to e-mail traffic from the LAN
interface, so that e-mail traffic would not get delayed when there is network congestion.
• Note the MAC address (AA:FF:AA:FF:AA:FF for example) of your computer and map it to queue
1.
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.

6.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to configure WAN settings from the 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.
Figure 27 LAN and WAN
CHAPTER 6
WAN Setup
LAN
WAN
6.1.1 What You Can Do in the WAN Screens
•Use the Internet Access Setup screen (Section 6.2 on page 95) to configure the WAN settings
on the ZyXEL Device for Internet access.
•Use the More Connections screen (Section 6.3 on page 100) to set up additional Internet
access connections.
6.1.2 What You Need to Know About WAN
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
ADSL Router Series User’s Guide93
Chapter 6 WAN Setup
networks. It can be static (fixed) or 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) (and a gateway IP address if you use the Ethernet or ENET ENCAP
encapsulation method).
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 one.
IGMP
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. There are three versions of IGMP. IGMP
version 2 and 3 are improvements over version 1, but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use.
IPv6
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to increase IP address space and enhance features.
The ZyXEL Device supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack and can connect to IPv4 and IPv6 networks. See
(Appendix E on page 341) for more information about IPv6.
Finding Out More
See Section 6.4 on page 104 for technical background information on WAN.
6.1.3 Before You Begin
You need to know your Internet access settings such as encapsulation and WAN IP address. Get this
information from your ISP.
