Chapter 1 Introducing the VSG1432-B101

•Write down the password and put it in a safe place.

•Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the ZyXEL Device to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the ZyXEL Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.

1.4Applications for the ZyXEL Device

Here are some example uses for which the ZyXEL Device is well suited.

1.4.1 Internet Access

Your ZyXEL Device provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. You can have up to five WAN services over one ADSL, VDSL or Ethernet WAN line. The ZyXEL Device cannot work in ADSL, VDSL and Ethernet WAN mode at the same time.

Note: The ADSL, VDSL and Ethernet WAN lines share the same five WAN (layer-2) interfaces that you configure in the ZyXEL Device. Refer to Section 6.2 on page 77 for the Network Settings> Broadband screen.
