Chapter 2 Initial Configuration

3In the Time Zone Setting screen, select Enable NTP Client Update if you want to maintain the ZyXEL Device’s internal clock by synchronizing it with a time server.

If you do this, choose a Time Zone and an NTP Server closest to your location from their respective menus, then click Next to save your settings and go to the next screen.

4The WAN Interface Setting screen has different fields, depending on the type of Internet access your ISP uses.

You can choose either Static IP, Dynamic IP, or PPPoE:

Static IP means the ISP has assigned your Internet access account a single IP address that will never change, regardless of whether you are online or not. See Section 2.2.1 on page 12 for details.

Dynamic IP allows the ISP to randomly assign your ZyXEL Device an IP address each time it requests a WAN (or Internet) session. The IP address is released as soon as the ZyXEL Device disconnects from the ISP. See Section 2.2.2 on page 12 for details.

PPPoE emulates a standard dial-up connection over the Internet and requires that each time the ZyXEL Device requests a WAN session you log in with your ISP-assigned user name and password. See Section 2.2.3 on page 12 for details.

Choose the setting required by your ISP then follow the instructions in the appropriate section below. If you are not sure which setting to use then contact your ISP.
