integrating DSL and NAT, you are provided with ease of installation and high-speed, shared Internet
access. The ZyXEL Device is also a complete 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 hub (switch).
• “N” denotes 802.11n draft 2.0. The “N” models support 802.11n wireless connection mode.
• “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.

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.

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-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.

1.6.1 Using the Reset Button
1Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2To 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.
