Registration

This chapter introduces myzyxel.com and shows you how to register the ZyWALL for IDP/AppPatrol, anti-virus, content filtering, and SSL VPN services using commands.

5.1 myZyXEL.com Overview

myZyXEL.com is ZyXEL’s online services center where you can register your ZyWALL and manage subscription services available for the ZyWALL.

Note: You need to create an account before you can register your device and activate the services at myZyXEL.com.

You can directly create a myZyXEL.com account, register your ZyWALL and activate a service using the Licensing > Registration screens. Alternatively, go to http://www.myZyXEL.com with the ZyWALL’s serial number and LAN MAC address to register it. Refer to the web site’s on-line help for details.

Note: To activate a service on a ZyWALL, you need to access myZyXEL.com via that ZyWALL.

5.1.1 Subscription Services Available on the ZyWALL

The ZyWALL can use anti-virus, anti-spam, IDP/AppPatrol (Intrusion Detection and Prevention and application patrol), SSL VPN, and content filtering subscription services.

•The ZyWALL’s anti-virus packet scanner uses the signature files on the ZyWALL to detect virus files. Your ZyWALL scans files transmitting through the enabled interfaces into the network. Subscribe to signature files for ZyXEL’s anti-virus engine or one powered by Kaspersky. After the service is activated, the ZyWALL can download the up-to-date signature files from the update server (http://myupdate.zywall.zyxel.com).

When using the trial, you can switch from one engine to the other in the Registration screen. There is no limit on the number of times you can change the anti-virus engine selection during the trial, but you only get a total of one anti-virus trial period (not a separate trial period for each anti-virus engine). After the service is activated, the ZyWALL can download the up-to-date signature files from the update server (http://myupdate.zywall.zyxel.com).

After the trial expires, you need to purchase an iCard for the anti-virus engine you want to use and enter the PIN number (license key) in the Registration > Service screen. You must use the ZyXEL anti-virus iCard for the ZyXEL anti-virus engine and the Kaspersky anti-virus iCard for the Kaspersky anti-virus engine. If you were already using an iCard anti-virus subscription, any remaining time on your earlier subscription is automatically added to the new subscription. Even if the earlier iCard anti-virus subscription was for a different anti-virus engine. For example,
