Getting To Know Your ZyXEL
Device
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of your ZyXEL Device.
1.1 Overview
This ZyXEL Device is a secure G.SHDSL.bis router with a 4-port switch.
Set up your ZyXEL Device for high-speed Internet access or for high-speed point-to-point
connections with other ZyXEL Devices of the same type. In either setup, the ZyXEL Device
itself can act as a router or as a bridge. As a router, the ZyXEL Device provides features such
as firewall, content filtering and bandwidth management. As a bridge, the ZyXEL Device
minimizes the configuration changes you have to make in your existing network.
See the appendices for a complete list of features you can configure on your ZyXEL Device.
1.1.1 High-speed Internet Access
The ZyXEL Device is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. In addition, unlike ADSL
or VDSL, G.SHDSL.bis supports the same high speed for transmission and receiving.

For Internet access, connect the DSL port to the phone port. Then, connect your computers or
servers to the LAN ports for shared Internet access. (See the Quick Start Guide for detailed
instructions about hardware connections.) Next, set up each ZyXEL Device as a router or as a
bridge, depending on the desired configuration. As a router, the ZyXEL Device provides
features such as firewall, content filtering and bandwidth management. As a bridge, the
ZyXEL Device minimizes the configuration changes you have to make in your existing
network.
