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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

Multiple PVC

Your device supports up to 8 Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs).

 

 

(Permanent Virtual

 

 

 

Circuits) Support

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP Alias

IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over

 

 

 

the same Ethernet interface. Your device supports three logical LAN

 

 

 

interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface with the your device itself

 

 

 

as the gateway for each LAN network.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP Policy Routing (IPPR)

Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router

 

 

 

takes the shortest path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR)

 

 

 

provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter the

 

 

 

packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the network administrator.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Packet Filters

Your device’s packet filtering function allows added network security and

 

 

 

management.
