ZyWALL 35 Internet Security Appliance

Introducing the ZyWALL

The ZyWALL 35 is the ideal secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the LAN. By
integrating NAT, firewall, content filtering, certificates and VPN capability, ZyXEL’s ZyWALL 35 is a
complete security solution that protects your Intranet and efficiently manages data traffic on your network.
The ZyWALL increases network security by adding up to four De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) ports for use
with publicly accessible servers. Dual WAN ports and dial backup enhance reliability. The
PCMCIA/CardBus slot allows you to add a 802.11b/g-compliant wireless LAN. The embedded web
configurator is easy to operate and totally independent of the operating system platform you use.

You should have an Internet account already set up and have been given most of the following information.
