CHAPTER 1
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
The P-870HW-51a v2 is a VDSL2 gateway that allows super-fast, secure Internet access over
analog (POTS) telephone lines.
you can use Quality of Service (QoS) to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving
priority to certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers.
Please refer to the following description of the product name format.
• “H” denotes an integrated 4-port hub (switch).
• “W” denotes wireless functionality. There is an embedded mini-PCI module for IEEE
802.11g wireless LAN connectivity.
1 Only use firmware for your ZyXEL Device’s specific model. Refer to the label
on the bottom of your ZyXEL Device.
See Chapter 20 on page 165 for a full list of features.
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.
• TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your device.
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.
P-870HW-51a v2 User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
• 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 por ts (or wirelessly).
Figure 1 ZyXEL Device’s Router Features
LAN
You can also configure IP filtering on the ZyXEL Device for secure Internet access. When the
IP filter is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked by default
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.
1.5 LEDs (Lights)
The following graphic displays the labels of the LEDs.

Off The ZyXEL Device does not have an IP connection.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for information on hardware connections.
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 password will be
reset to “1234”. You can also use the

DHCP server), PPP negotiation was successfully completed (if
used) and the DSL connection is up.
failed. Possible causes are no response from a DHCP server, no
PPPoE response, PPPoE authentication failed.
1.6.1 Using the Reset Button
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 To 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.
1.7 The WPS WLAN Button
You can use the WPS WLAN ON/OFF 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.
1.7.1 Turn the Wireless LAN Off or On
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 Press the WPS WLAN ON/OFF button for one second and release it. The WLAN/
WPS LED should change from on to off or vice versa.
1.7.2 Activate WPS

1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 Press the WPS WLAN ON/OFF button for more than five seconds and release it. Press
the WPS button on another WPS -enabled device within range of the ZyXEL Device.

Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device
The WLAN/WPS L ED should flash whi le the ZyXEL Device sets up a WPS connection
with the wireless device.
" You must activate WPS in the ZyXEL Device and in another wireless device
within two minutes of each other. See Section 7.9.4 on page 92 for more
information.
