Status

For the LAN and DMZ ports, this displays the port speed and duplex setting.

Ethernet port connections can be in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. Full-duplex

refers to a device's ability to send and receive simultaneously, while half-duplex

indicates that traffic can flow in only one direction at a time. The Ethernet port

must use the same speed or duplex mode setting as the peer Ethernet port in

order to connect.
For the WAN 1 port, it displays the port speed and duplex setting if you’re using

Ethernet encapsulation or the remote node name for a PPP connection and

Down (line is down or not connected), Idle (line (ppp) idle), Dial (starting to

trigger a call) or Drop (dropping a call) if you’re using PPPoE encapsulation.
For the WAN 2 interface, it displays Connected when the 3G connection is up,

Connecting when the 3G card is trying to connect to a network but has not

received a response from the base station, Ready to Connect when the 3G

connection is idle, Initializing when the ZyXEL Device is configuring the 3G card

with AT commands, Disconnecting when the ZyXEL Device is dropping the 3G

connection or Down when the 3G connection is down.

IP/Netmask

This shows the port’s IP address and subnet mask.

IP Assignment

For the WAN, if the ZyXEL Device gets its IP address automatically from an ISP,

this displays DHCP client when you’re using Ethernet encapsulation and IPCP

Client when you’re using PPPoE or PPTP encapsulation. Static displays if the

WAN port is using a manually entered static (fixed) IP address.
For the LAN or DMZ, DHCP server displays when the ZyXEL Device is set to

automatically give IP address information to the computers connected to the LAN.

DHCP relay displays when the ZyXEL Device is set to forward IP address

assignment requests to another DHCP server. Static displays if the LAN port is

using a manually entered static (fixed) IP address. In this case, you must have

another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers must be manually

configured.

Renew

If you are using Ethernet encapsulation and the WAN port is configured to get the

IP address automatically from the ISP, click Renew to release the WAN port’s

dynamically assigned IP address and get the IP address afresh. Click Dial to dial

up the PPTP, PPPoE or 3G WAN connection. Click Drop to disconnect the PPTP,

PPPoE or 3G WAN connection.

3G WAN Interface

Status

The fields below display when a 3G card is inserted and WAN 2 is enabled.

3G Connection

Status

This displays Down when the 3G connection is down or not activated.
This displays Initializing when the ZyXEL Device is configuring the 3G card with

AT commands.
This displays Ready to Connect when the 3G connection is idle before the

ZyXEL Device triggers a call.
This displays Connecting when the 3G card is trying to connect to a network but

has not received a response from the base station.
This displays Connected when the 3G connection is up.
This displays Disconnecting when the ZyXEL Device is dropping the 3G

connection.
This field also displays the type of the network to which the ZyXEL Device is

connected. The network type varies depending on the 3G card you inserted and

could be UMTS, HSDPA, GPRS or EDGE when you insert a GSM 3G card, or

1xRTT, EVDO Rev.0 or EVDO Rev.A when you insert a CDMA 3G card.

Service Provider

This displays the name of your network service provider or Limited Service when

the signal strength is too low or the ISP is limiting your access.
