Introducing the ZyXEL Device

This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the ZyXEL Device. It also introduces the ways you can manage the ZyXEL Device.

1.1 Overview

Your ZyXEL Device integrates a high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet LAN interface, a USB 1.1 LAN interface and a high-speed ADSL port into a single package. See Appendix A on page 121 for a complete list of features.

The ZyXEL Device is designed for high-speed Internet access at home.A typical Internet access application is shown below.

Figure 1 ZyXEL Device Internet Access Application

You can use the ZyXEL Device to connect two geographically dispersed networks over the ADSL line. A typical LAN-to-LAN application for your ZyXEL Device is shown as follows.

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device

The ZyXEL Device is an ADSL router compatible with the ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards. It allows super-fast, secure Internet access over the analog (POTS) or digital (ISDN) telephone line (depending on your model). Maximum data rates attainable for each standard are shown in the next table.

Table 1 ADSL Standards

	DATARATESTANDARD	UPSTREAM	DOWNSTREA
			M
	ADSL	832 kbps	8Mbps
	ADSL2	3.5Mbps	12Mbps
	ADSL2+	3.5Mbps	24Mbps

"If your ZyXEL Device does not support Annex M, the maximum ADSL2/2+ upstream data rate is 1.2 Mbps. ZyXEL Devices which work over ISDN do not support Annex M.

"The standard your ISP supports determines the maximum upstream and downstream speeds attainable. Actual speeds attained also depend on the distance from your ISP, line quality, etc.

Models ending in "1", for example P-660RU-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 Synchronous Digital System). Models ending in "7" denote a device that works over T-ISDN (U-R2).

1.2Ways 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.

•TR-069. TR-069 is a protocol that defines how your ZyXEL Device can be remotely managed via a management server.

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, or if you forget your password and 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.

1.4ZyXEL Device Hardware Installation and Connection

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for information on hardware installation and connection.

Introducing the Web

Configurator

This chapter describes how to access and navigate the web configurator.

2.1 Web Configurator Overview

The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy setup and management via an Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.

In order to use the web configurator you need to allow:

•Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.

•JavaScript (enabled by default).

•Java permissions (enabled by default).

2.1.1Accessing the ZyXEL Device Web Configurator

1Make sure your ZyXEL Device hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).

2Prepare your computer or computer network to connect to the ZyXEL Device (refer to Appendix B on page 125).

3Launch your web browser.

4Type "192.168.1.1" as the URL.

5An Enter Network Password window displays. Enter the password (“1234” is the default). Click Login to proceed to a screen asking you to change your password. Click Cancel to revert to the default password in the password field.
