Chapter 1 Introducing the VSG1432-B101

1.8 The RESET Button

If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to use the RESET button at the back of the device to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to “1234”.

1Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).

2To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for ten seconds or until the POWER LED begins to blink and then release it. When the POWER LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the device restarts.

1.9Wireless Access

The ZyXEL Device is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebook computers or PDAs and iPads. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet cables.

You can configure your wireless network in either the built-in Web Configurator, or using the WPS button.

Figure 6 Wireless Access Example

1.9.1 Using the WLAN/WPS Button

If the wireless network is turned off, press the WLAN/WPS button on the front of the ZyXEL Device for one second. Once the WLAN/WPS LED turns green, the wireless network is active.

You can also use the WLAN/WPS button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the ZyXEL Device and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.
