Introducing the Web Configurator

The ZyWALL automatically times out after five minutes of inactivity. Simply log

back into the ZyWALL if this happens to you.

2.3 Resetting the ZyWALL

If you forget your password or cannot access the SMT menu, you will need to reload the factory-default
configuration file or use the RESET button the back of the ZyWALL. Uploading this configuration file
replaces the current configuration file with the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will
lose all configurations that you had previously and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default of
9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set to none. The password will be reset to
“1234”, also.

2.3.1

Procedure To Use The Reset Button

Make sure the SYS LED is on (not blinking) before you begin this procedure.

Step 1.

Press the RESET button for ten seconds, and then release it. If the SYS LED begins to blink, the
defaults have been restored and the ZyWALL restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.

Step 2.

Turn the ZyWALL off.

Step 3.

While pressing the RESET button, turn the ZyWALL on.

Step 4.

Continue to hold the RESET button. The SYS LED will begin to blink and

flicker very quickly

after about 10 or 15 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and the ZyWALL
is now restarting.

Step 5.

Release the RESET

button and wait for the ZyWALL to finish restarting.

2.3.2

Uploading a Configuration File Via Console Port

Step 6.

Download the default configuration file from the ZyXEL FTP site, unzip it and save it in a folder.

Step 7.

Turn off the ZyWALL, begin a terminal emulation software session and turn on the ZyWALL
again. When you see the message "Press Any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds", press
any key to enter debug mode.

Step 8.

Enter "y" at the prompt below to go into debug mode.

Step 9.

Enter "atlc" after "Enter Debug Mode" message.

Step 10. Wait for "Starting XMODEM upload" message before activating Xmodem upload on your

terminal. This is an example Xmodem configuration upload using HyperTerminal.
