P-661H/HW Series User’s Guide

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 (P-661H Only)

TR-069 is a protocol that defines how your ZyXEL Device can be managed via a management server such as ZyXEL’s Vantage CNM Access. The management server can securely manage and update configuration changes in ZyXEL Devices.

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.

1.2.1 Wireless Features (Wireless Devices Only)

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.

Note: The ZyXEL Device may be prone to RF (Radio Frequency) interference from other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwave ovens, wireless phones, Bluetooth enabled devices, and other wireless LANs.

Wi-Fi Protected Access

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security specification standard. Key differences between WPA and WEP are user authentication and improved data encryption.

WPA2

WPA 2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management than WPA.
