Device Management

Use the web configurator to easily configure the rich range of features on

 

the ZyXEL Device.

 

 

Wireless Functionality

Allow the IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and/or IEEE 802.11n wireless

(wireless devices only)

clients to connect to the ZyXEL Device wirelessly. Enable wireless security

 

(WEP, WPA(2), WPA(2)-PSK) and/or MAC filtering to protect your wireless

 

network.

 

 

Firmware Upgrade

Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web site and use

 

the web configurator, an FTP or a TFTP tool to put it on the ZyXEL Device.

 

Note: Only upload firmware for your specific model!

 

 

Configuration Backup &

Make a copy of the ZyXEL Device’s configuration. You can put it back on the

Restoration

ZyXEL Device later if you decide to revert back to an earlier configuration.

 

 

Network Address

Each computer on your network must have its own unique IP address. Use

Translation (NAT)

NAT to convert your public IP address(es) to multiple private IP addresses

 

for the computers on your network.

 

 

Port Forwarding

If you have a server (mail or web server for example) on your network, you

 

can use this feature to let people access it from the Internet.

 

 

DHCP (Dynamic Host

Use this feature to have the ZyXEL Device assign IP addresses, an IP

Configuration Protocol)

default gateway and DNS servers to computers on your network. Your

 

device can also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it

 

relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the

 

clients.

 

 

Dynamic DNS Support

With Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) support, you can use a fixed

 

URL, www.zyxel.com for example, with a dynamic IP address. You must

 

register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.

 

 

IP Multicast

IP multicast is used to send traffic to a specific group of computers. The

 

ZyXEL Device supports versions 1 and 2 of IGMP (Internet Group

 

Management Protocol) used to join multicast groups (see RFC 2236).

 

 

Time and Date

Get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on your

 

ZyXEL Device. You can also set the time manually. These dates and times

 

are then used in logs.

 

 

Logs

Use logs for troubleshooting. You can send logs from the ZyXEL Device to

 

an external syslog server.

 

 

Universal Plug and Play

A UPnP-enabled device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP

(UPnP)

address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

QoS (Quality of Service)

You can efficiently manage traffic on your network by reserving bandwidth

 

and giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers.

 

 

Remote Management

This allows you to decide whether a service (HTTP or FTP traffic for

 

example) from a computer on a network (LAN or WAN for example) can

 

access the ZyXEL Device.
