Chapter 3 Wizard Setup

3.2 Internet Access

The Internet access wizard screen has three variations depending on what encapsulation type you use. Refer to information provided by your ISP to know what to enter in each field. Leave a field blank if you don’t have that information.

3.2.1 ISP Parameters

The ZyWALL offers three choices of encapsulation. They are Ethernet, PPTP or PPPoE.

The wizard screen varies according to the type of encapsulation that you select in the Encapsulation field.

3.2.1.1 Ethernet

For ISPs (such as Telstra) that send UDP heartbeat packets to verify that the customer is still online, please create a WAN-to-WAN/ZyWALLfirewall rule for those packets. Contact your ISP to find the correct port number.

Choose Ethernet when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet.
