Chapter 1 Introducing the ZyXEL Device

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.

DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The ZyXEL Device has built-in DHCP server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients. The ZyXEL Device can now also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.

IP Alias

IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet interface. The ZyXEL Device supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface with the ZyXEL Device itself as the gateway for each LAN network.

TR-069 Compliance

TR-069 is a DSL Forum standard that defines how CPE (Customer Premise Equipment), for example your ZyXEL Device, can be managed over the WAN by an Auto Configuration Server (ACS) such as ZyXEL’s CNM Access. TR-069 is based on sending RPCs (Remote Procedure Call) between an ACS and a client device. RPCs are sent in XML (Extensible Markup Language) format over HTTP or HTTPS.

Housing

Your ZyXEL Device's compact and ventilated housing minimizes space requirements making it easy to position anywhere in your busy office.

4-port Switch

A combination of switch and router makes your ZyXEL Device a cost-effective and viable network solution. You can connect up to four computers to the ZyXEL Device without the cost of a hub. Use a hub to add more than four computers to your LAN.

1.5.1 Wireless Features

Wireless LAN

The ZyXEL Device supports the IEEE 802.11g standard, which is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard, meaning that you can have both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g wireless clients in the same wireless network.
