Zero Configuration
Internet Access
Once you connect and turn on the device, it automatically detects the
Internet connection settings (such as the VCI/VPI numbers and the
encapsulation method) from the ISP and makes the necessary
configuration changes. In cases where additional account information (such
as an Internet account user name and password) is required or the ZyXEL
Device cannot connect to the ISP, you will be redirected to web screen(s)
for information input or troubleshooting.
Any IP The Any IP feature allows a computer to access the Internet and the ZyXEL
Device without changing the network settings (such as IP address and
subnet mask) of the computer, when the IP addresses of the computer and
the ZyXEL Device are not in the same subnet.
Auto Provisioning Your VoIP service provider can automatically update your device’s
configuration via an auto-provisioning server.
IPSec VPN Capability Establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect with business partners
and branch offices using data encryption and the Internet to provide secure
communications without the expense of leased site-to-site lines. The ZyXEL
Device VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is interoperable with other
IPSec-based VPN products.
The ZyXEL Device supports up to two simultaneous IPSec connections.
Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP)
Your device and other UPnP enabled devices can use the standard TCP/IP
protocol to dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey
their capabilities to each other.
PPPoE Support
(RFC2516)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up
connection. It allows your ISP to use their existing network configuration
with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL. The PPPoE driver on
your device is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only
Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE thus saving you from having to
manage PPPoE clients on individual computers.
Other PPPoE Features PPPoE idle time out
PPPoE dial on demand
Multiple PVC
(Permanent Virtual
Circuits) Support
Your device supports up to 8 Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs).
IP Alias IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over
the same Ethernet interface. Your device supports three logical LAN
interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface with the your device itself
as the gateway for each LAN network.
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.
Packet Filters Your device’s packet filtering function allows added network security and
management.
