1.2 Features
The following sections introduce your device’s key features.
Ethernet Port
The 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet port allows the device to detect the speed of
incoming transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data
transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending
on your Ethernet network. The port is auto-crossover (MDI/MDI-X) meaning it automatically
adjusts to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.
High Speed Internet Access
The ZyXEL Device is ideal for high-speed Internet browsing and making LAN-to-LAN
connections to remote networks. The ZyXEL Device is an ADSL router compatible with the
ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards. Maximum data rates attainable by the ZyXEL Device for
each standard are shown in the next table.
Note: The standard your ISP uses determines the maximum upstream and
downstream speeds attainable. Actual speeds attained also depend on the
distance from your ISP, line quality, your subscribed level of service and other
factors.
PSTN Line (“L” Models only)
You can connect a PSTN line to your device. You can receive incoming PSTN phone calls
even while someone else is making VoIP phone calls. You can dial a (prefix) number to make
an outgoing PSTN call. You can still make PSTN phone calls if your device loses power.
Note: When the ZyXEL Device does not have power, only the phone connected to
the PHONE 2 port can be used for making calls. Ensure you know which phone
this is, so that in case of emergency you can make outgoing calls.
