The P-873HNUP-51B is a wireless VDSL router and Gigabit Ethernet gateway with Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HPNA) capability. It has two DSL ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port for super­fast Internet access over analog (POTS) telephone lines. If the DSLAM of the ISP supports bonding function, the two DSL ports on the P-873HNUP-51B can be connected to two separate telephone jacks to provide increased throughput at longer distances. The ZyXEL Device supports both Packet Transfer Mode (PTM) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). It is backward compatible with ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ in case VDSL is not available. The P-873HNUP-51B also provides IEEE
802.11b/g/n wireless networking to extend the range of your existing wired network without
additional wiring.
Please refer to the following description of the product name format.
CHAPTER 1
Introducing the P-873HNUP-51B
• “H” denotes an integrated 4-port switch (hub).
• “N” denotes 802.11n draft 2.0. The “N” models support 802.11n wireless connection mode.
• “U” denotes a USB port. The ZyXEL Device supports a flash disk (FAT16/FAT32 format), which FTP clients can access.
• “P” denotes a device that has Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HPNA) capability.
• Model names ending in “1”, for example P-873HNUP-51, denote a device that works over the analog telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). The DSL RJ-14 connects to your ADSL-enabled telephone lines.
Only use firmware for your ZyXEL Device’s specific model. Refer to the label on the bottom of your ZyXEL Device.
See Chapter 34 on page 273 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.
• 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. You can have up to eight WAN services over one
ADSL, VDSL or Ethernet WAN line. The ZyXEL Device cannot work in ADSL, VDSL and Ethernet WAN mode at the same time.
Note: The ADSL, VDSL and Ethernet WAN lines share the same eight WAN (layer-3)
interfaces that you configure in the ZyXEL Device. Refer to Section 6.2 on page 73 for the Network Settings> Broadband screen.

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.
1.4.2 HomePNA
DSL
The ZyXEL Device complies with HomePNA (Home Phoneline Networking Alliance, also known as HPNA) 3.1, a home networking technology for carrying data over existing coaxial cables and telephone wiring.

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”.
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 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.
