Firmware Upgrade

Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web site and

use the web configurator, an FTP or a TFTP tool to put it on the ZyXEL

Device.

Note: Only upload firmware for your specific model!

Configuration Backup &

Restoration

Make a copy of the ZyXEL Device’s configuration. You can put it back on

the ZyXEL Device later if you decide to revert back to an earl

i

er

configuration.

Network Address

Translation (NAT)

Each computer on your network must have its own unique IP address.

Use NAT to convert your public IP address(es) to multiple private IP

addresses for

the computers on your network.

Multiple PVCs (Permanent

Virtual Circuits)

Your ZyXEL Device supports up to 8 PVCs.

Packet Filters

The ZyXEL Device's packet filtering functions allows added network

security and management.

Port Forwarding

If you have a server (mail or web server for example) on your network,

you can use this feature to let people access it from the Internet.

Traffic Redirect

Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the

ZyXEL Device cannot connect to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary

if your regular WAN connection fails.

DHCP (Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol)

Use this feature to have the ZyXEL Device assign IP addresses, an IP

default gateway and DNS servers to computers on your network.

Dynamic DNS Support

With Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) support, you can use a

fixed URL, www.zyxel.com for example, with a dynamic IP address. You

must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.

IP Multicast

IP multicast is used to send traffic to a specific group of computers. The

ZyXEL Device supports versions 1 and 2 of IGMP (Internet Group

Management Protocol) used to join multicast groups (see RFC 2236).

IP Alias

IP alias allows you to subdivide a physical network into logical networks

over the same Ethernet interface with the ZyXEL Device itself as the

gateway for each subnet.

IP Policy Routing (IPPR)

Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the

router takes the shortest path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing

(IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior

and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the

network administrator.

Time and Date

Get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on

your ZyXEL Device. You can also set the time manually. These dates

and times are then used in logs.

PPPoE

PPPoE mimics a dial-up Internet access connection.

PPTP Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) enables secure transfer of

data through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The ZyXEL Device

supports one PPTP connection at a time.
