DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

1.

LAN 10/100M

Connect a computer to one of these ports with an Ethernet cable. These ports are auto-

 

1-4

negotiating (can connect at 10 or 100Mbps) and auto-sensing (automatically adjusts to the type

 

 

of Ethernet cable you use, straight-through or crossover).

 

 

 

2.

WAN 10/100M

Connect your cable/DSL modem to this port with the cable that came with your modem.

 

 

 

3.

POWER 12 VDC

Connect the included power adaptor (use only this adapter) to this power socket.

 

 

 

 

After you’ve made the connections, connect the power cable to a power supply and look at the front panel LEDs.

 

 

CON/AUX switch

Only connect this port if you want to configure the ZyWALL using the SMT via console port see

CON/AUX port

your User’s Guide for details.

 

 

Set this switch to the “CON” side to use the CON/AUX port as a console port for local device

 

 

configuration and management. Connect the 9-pin male end of the console cable to the console

 

 

port of the ZyWALL and the other end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) on your

 

 

computer. Your computer should have a terminal emulation communications program (such as

 

 

HyperTerminal) set to VT100 terminal emulation, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control

 

 

and 9600 bps port speed.

 

 

RESET

You only need to use this button if you’ve forgotten the ZyWALL’s password. It returns the

 

 

ZyWALL to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1, terminal

 

 

emulation settings as described above etc.; see your User’s Guide for details).

 

 

 

The Front Panel LEDs

The PWR LED blinks while performing system testing and then stays on if the testing is successful. The CON/AUX, LAN, and WAN LEDs turn on if they are properly connected. Refer to the User’s Guide for more detailed LED descriptions.
