1.2.1 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 y our password, you will hav e to reset the
ZyXEL Device to its factory default settings . If yo u backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the ZyXEL Device.
You could simply restore your last configuration.
1.3 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 port or wirelessly.
Figure 1 Internet Access Example
You can al so 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.
22
Use the filtering feaure to block access to specific web sites or Internet
applications such as MSN or Yahoo Messanger. You can also configure IP/MAC
filtering rules for incoming or outgoing traffic.
P-660N-T1A User’s Guide
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 (VoIP) calls high priority, and/or
limit bandwidth devoted to the boss’s excessive file downloading.
1.4 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
