Appendix A Product Specifications

 

Table 167 Firmware Specifications (continued)

 

Zero Configuration

Once you connect and turn on the device, it automatically detects the

 

 

Internet Access

Internet connection settings (such as the VCI/VPI numbers and the

 

 

 

encapsulation method) from the ISP and makes the necessary

 

 

 

configuration changes. In cases where additional account information (such

 

 

 

as an Internet account user name and password) is required or the ZyXEL

 

 

 

Device cannot connect to the ISP, you will be redirected to web screen(s)

 

 

 

for information input or troubleshooting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any IP

The Any IP feature allows a computer to access the Internet and the ZyXEL

 

 

 

Device without changing the network settings (such as IP address and

 

 

 

subnet mask) of the computer, when the IP addresses of the computer and

 

 

 

the ZyXEL Device are not in the same subnet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Auto Provisioning

Your VoIP service provider can automatically update your device’s

 

 

 

configuration via an auto-provisioning server.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Auto Firmware Upgrade

Your device gives you the option to upgrade to a newer firmware version if it

 

 

 

finds one during auto-provisioning. Your VoIP service provider must have

 

 

 

an auto-provisioning server and a server set up with firmware in order for

 

 

 

this feature to work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Firewall

Your device has a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service)

 

 

 

protection. By default, when the firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from

 

 

 

the WAN to the LAN is blocked unless it is initiated from the LAN. The

 

 

 

firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real

 

 

 

time alerts, reports and logs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IPSec VPN Capability

Establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect with business partners

 

 

 

and branch offices using data encryption and the Internet to provide secure

 

 

 

communications without the expense of leased site-to-site lines. The ZyXEL

 

 

 

Device VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is interoperable with other

 

 

 

IPSec-based VPN products.

 

 

 

The ZyXEL Device supports up to two simultaneous IPSec connections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Network Address

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet

 

 

Translation (NAT)

protocol address used within one network (for example a private IP address

 

 

 

used in a local network) to a different IP address known within another

 

 

 

network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Content Filtering

Content filtering allows you to block access to Internet web sites that

 

 

 

contain key words (that you specify) in the URL. You can also schedule

 

 

 

when to perform the filtering and give trusted LAN IP addresses unfiltered

 

 

 

Internet access.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Media Bandwidth

Media Bandwidth Management allows you to specify bandwidth classes

 

 

Management

based on an application and/or subnet. You can allocate specific amounts

 

 

 

of bandwidth capacity (bandwidth budgets) to different bandwidth classes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Universal Plug and Play

Your device and other UPnP enabled devices can use the standard TCP/IP

 

 

(UPnP)

protocol to dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey

 

 

 

their capabilities to each other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PPPoE Support

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up

 

 

(RFC2516)

connection. It allows your ISP to use their existing network configuration

 

 

 

with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL. The PPPoE driver on

 

 

 

your device is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only

 

 

 

Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE thus saving you from having to

 

 

 

manage PPPoE clients on individual computers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other PPPoE Features

PPPoE idle time out

 

 

 

PPPoE dial on demand

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dynamic DNS Support

With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a

 

 

 

dynamic IP address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from

 

 

 

various locations on the Internet. You must register for this service with a

 

 

 

Dynamic DNS service provider.
