Chapter 10 Remote Management Configuration

10.1.2 Remote Management and NAT

When NAT is enabled:

Use the ZyXEL Device’s WAN IP address when configuring from the WAN.

Use the ZyXEL Device’s LAN IP address when configuring from the LAN.

10.1.3System Timeout

There is a default system management idle timeout of five minutes (three hundred seconds). The ZyXEL Device automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for longer than this timeout period. The management session does not time out when a statistics screen is polling.

10.2 Telnet

You can use Telnet to access the ZyXEL Device’s command line interface. Specify which interfaces allow Telnet access and from which IP address the access can come.

10.3 FTP

You can upload and download ZyXEL Device firmware and configuration files using FTP. To use this feature, your computer must have an FTP client.

10.4 Web

You can set the ZyXEL Device to use HTTP or HTTPS (HTTPS adds security) for web configurator sessions. Specify which interfaces allow web configurator access and from which IP address the access can come.

HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a web protocol that encrypts and decrypts web pages. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application- level protocol that enables secure transactions of data by ensuring confidentiality (an unauthorized party cannot read the transferred data), authentication (one party can identify the other party) and data integrity (you know if data has been changed).
