1.1 Overview

The ADSL Router Series includes the P-660HNU-Fx, P-660HN-Fx, P-661HNU-Fx (x stands for 1 or
3). The routers in this series are ADSL2+ 4-Port Security Gateways with rich features and
performance that use 802.11N technology to maximize the spee d and range of your wi reless signal. The ZyXEL Device is also a complete security solution with a robust firewall based on Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Denial of Service (DoS) protection.
Please refer to the following description of the product name format.
• “H” denotes an integrated 4-port hub (switch).
• “N” denotes wireless functionality, including 802.11n mode. There is an embedded mini-PCI module for IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless LAN connectivity.
• “U” denotes a USB port used to share files via a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive. The ZyXEL Device can function as a print server with a USB printer connected.
• Models ending in “1”, for example P-661HNU-F1, denote a device that works over the analog telephone system, POTS (Plain Old T elephone 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.
See the chapter on product specifications for a full list of features.

1.2 Applications for the ZyXEL Device

Here are some example uses for which the ZyXEL Device is well suited.
1.2.1 Internet Access
Your Z yXEL Device provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL/MODEM jack on a splitter or your telephone wall jack.
Computers can connect to the ZyXEL Device’s ETHERNET ports (or wirelessly).
ADSL Series User’s Guide 21
Chapter 1 Introduction
LAN
WAN
DSL
LAN

Figure 1 ZyXEL Device’s Internet Access Application
You can also configure the firewall 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.
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 email high priority, and/or limit bandwidth devoted to the boss’s excessive file downloading.
1.2.2 Wireless Connection
By default, the wireless LAN (WLAN) is enabled on the ZyXEL Device. IEEE 802.11b/g/n compliant clients can wirelessly connect to the ZyXEL Device to access network resources. You can set up a wireless network with WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) or manually add a client to your wireless network.
Figure 2 Wireless Connection Application
1.2.3 ZyXEL Device’s USB and Print Server Support
Use the built-in USB 2.0 port to share files via a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive (A). Alternatively, you can add a USB printer (B) and make it available on your local area network.

1.3 The WPS/WLAN Button

Chapter 1 Introduction
You can use the WPS button ( ) on the top of the device to turn the wireless LAN off or on. You can also use it to activate WPS in order to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.
Turn the Wireless LAN On or Off
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 Press the WPS button for one second and release it. The WLAN/WPS LED should change from off
to on or vice versa.
Activate WPS
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 Place the devices you want to connect near one another.
3 Press the WPS button on top of the ZyXEL Device for more than five seconds and release it to turn
the WPS function on. Repeat this procedure when you want to turn the WPS function off.
4 Press the WPS button on another WPS -enabled device within range of the ZyXEL Device. The
WLAN/WPS LED should flash while the ZyXEL Device sets up a WPS connection with the wireless device.
5 The WLAN/WPS light on the P-66xHNU-Fx Series shines steadily when connected.
Note: You must activate WPS in the ZyXEL Device and in another wireless device within
two minutes of each other. See Chapter 6 on page 123 for more information.

1.4 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.
• FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.
24
ADSL Series User’s Guide

1.5 Good Habits for Managing the ZyXEL Device

Do the following things regularly to make the ZyXEL Device more secure and to manage the Z yXEL 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.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for information on hardware connections.

1.6 The RESET Button

Chapter 1 Introduction
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 y ou will lose all configurations that you had previously and the passwords will be reset to the defaults.
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 T o set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for 5 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.

3.8 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 ADSL 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 ADSL 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 ADSL Device’ s WAN default gateway by default. In this case, B will never receive the traffic.

To configure a static route to route traffic from N1 to N2:
1 Click Network Setting > Static Route. Click Add New Static Route.
2 Configure the Static Route Setup screen using the following settings:
•Select Active.
• Specify a descriptive name for this routing rule.
•Type 192.168.10.0 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 for the destination, N2.
•Type 192.168.1.253 (R’s N1 address) in the Gateway IP Address field.

3.9 Configuring QoS Queue and Class Setup

This section contains tutorials on how you can configure the QoS screen.
Note: Voice traffic will not be affected by the user-defined QoS settings on the ADSL
Device. It always gets the highest priority.
This example assumes that you want to prioritize e-mail traffic because you have to send important mails and urgent updates to clients very often.
In the following figure, your Internet connection has an upstream transmission bandwidth of 1000 kbps. For this example, you want to configure QoS so that e-mail traffic gets the highest priority with at least 500 kbps. You can do the following:
• Configure a queue to assign the highest priority queue (7) to e-mail traffic sent from the LAN interface, so that e-mail traffic would not get delayed when there is network congestion.
• Note the IP address (192.168.1.23 for example) and/or MAC address (AA:FF:AA:FF:AA:FF for example) of your computer and map them to queue 7.
QoS Example
ADSL Series User’s Guide
73
Chapter 3 Tutorials
QoS allows the ADSL Device to group and prioritize application traffic and fine-tune network performance. The ADSL Device assigns each packet a priority and queues the packet according to your configured classifiers. Classifiers define how to sort traffic into different flows, assign priority, and define actions to be performed for classified traffic flows.
Note: QoS is applied to traffic flowing out of the ADSL Device.
Traffic that does not match this class is assigned a priority queue based on the internal QoS mapping table on the ADSL Device.
1 Click Network Setting > QoS > General and check Active. Set your WAN Managed Upstream
Bandwidth to 1000 kbps (or leave this blank to have the ADSL Device automatically determine this figure). Click Apply to save your settings.
Tutorial: Advanced > QoS
2 Go to Network Setting > QoS > Queue Setup. Click Add new Queue to create a new queue. In
the screen that opens, check Active and enter or select the following values, then click Apply.
• Name: Email
• Priority: 7 (High)
• Weight: 15
• Rate Limit: 500 (kbps)
3 Go to Network Setting > QoS > Class Setup. Click Add new Classifier to create a new class.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Status This field indicates whether or not the ZyXEL Device is using the interface.
For the DSL interface, this field displays Down (line is down), Up (line is up or connected), Initializing (line is initializing), Establishing Link (line is establishi ng a link) if you're using Ethernet encapsulation and Down (line is down), Up (l ine is up or connected), Idle (line (ppp) idle), Dial (starting to trigger a call) and Drop (dropping a call) if you're using PPPoE encapsulation.
For the LAN interface, this field displays Up when the ZyXEL Device is connected through an Ethernet cable to a computer or a HUB. It displays Down when the ZyXEL Device’s Ethernet port is disconnected.
For the WLAN interface, it displays Active when WLAN is enabled or InActive when WLAN is disabled.
Rate For the LAN interface, this displays the port speed.
For the WAN interface, this displays the DSL link rate downstream and upstream. For the DSL interface, it displays the downstream and upstream transmission rate. For the WLAN interface, it displays the maximum transmission rate when WLAN is
enabled or N/A when WLAN is disabled.

used. When this percentage is close to 100%, the ZyXEL Device is running at full load, and the throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you want some applications to have more throughput, you should turn off other applications.
Usually, this percentage should not increase much. If memory usage does get close to 100% and remains like that for a high period of time, the ZyXEL Device may become unstable and you should restart it. See Chapter 24 on page 241, or turn off the device (unplug the power) for a few seconds.

5.1 Overview

WAN
LAN
This chapter discusses the ZyXEL Device’s Broadband 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.

Broadband

5.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
•Use the Broadband screen to view, remove or add a WAN interface. You can also configure the WAN settings on the ZyXEL Device for Internet access (Section 5.2 on page 88).
5.1.2 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
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), they should also provide a username and password (and service name) for user authentication.
ADSL Series User’s Guide 87
Chapter 5 Broadband
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 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).
ATM
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a LAN and WAN networking technology that provides high­speed data transfer. ATM uses fixed-size packets of information called cells. With ATM, a high QoS (Quality of Service) can be guaranteed. ATM uses a connection-oriented model and establishes a virtual circuit (VC) between two endpoints before the actual data exchange begins.
Finding Out More
•See Section 5.3 on page 100 for advanced technical information on WAN.
•See Chapter 3 on page 41 for WAN tutorials.
5.1.3 Before You Begin
You need to know your Internet access settings such as encapsulation and W AN IP address. Get this information from your ISP.

5.2 The Broadband Screen

The ZyXEL Device must have a WAN interface to allow users to use the DSL port to access the Internet. Use the Broadband screen to view, remove or add a WAN interface.

5.3 Technical Reference

The following section contains additional technical information about the ZyXEL Device features described in this chapter.
Encapsulation
Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The ZyXEL Device can work in bridge mode or routing mode. When the ZyXEL Device is in routing mode, it supports the following methods.
IP over Ethernet
IP over Ethernet (IPoE) is an alternative to PPPoE. IP packets are being delivered across an Ethernet network, without using PPP encapsulation. They are routed between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and then formatted so that they can be understood in a bridged environment. For instance, it encapsulates routed Ethernet frames into bridged Ethernet cells.
PPP over Ethernet
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP. PPPoE is an IETF standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection.
