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

Restoration

the 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.

Translation (NAT)

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

 

addresses for the computers on your network.

 

 

Multiple PVCs (Permanent

Your ZyXEL Device supports up to 8 PVCs.

Virtual Circuits)

 

 

 

Packet Filters

The ZyXEL Device's packet filtering functions allows added network

 

security and management.

 

 

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.

 

 

Traffic Redirect

Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the

 

ZyXEL Device cannot connect to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary

 

if your regular WAN connection fails.

 

 

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.

 

 

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).

 

 

IP Alias

IP alias allows you to subdivide a physical network into logical networks

 

over the same Ethernet interface with the ZyXEL Device itself as the

 

gateway for each subnet.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

PPPoE

PPPoE mimics a dial-up Internet access connection.

 

 

PPTP Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) enables secure transfer of

 

data through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The ZyXEL Device

 

supports one PPTP connection at a time.
