Status For the LAN, DMZ and WLAN ports, this displays the port speed and duplex
setting. Ethernet port connections can be in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. Full-
duplex refers to a device's ability to send and receive simultaneously, while half-
duplex indicates that traffic can flow in only one direction at a time. The Ethernet
port must use the same speed or duplex mode setting as the peer Ethernet port in
order to connect.
For the WAN interface(s) and the Dial Backup port, it displays the port speed and
duplex setting if you’re using Ethernet encapsulation or the remote node name
(configured through the SMT) for a PPP connection and Down (line is down or
not connected), Idle (line (ppp) idle), Dial (starting to trigger a call) or Drop
(dropping a call) if you’re using PPPoE encapsulation.
IP/Netmask This shows the port’s IP address and subnet mask.
IP Assignment For the WAN, if the ZyWALL gets its IP address automatically from an ISP, this
displays DHCP client when you’re using Ethernet encapsulation and IPCP Client
when you’re using PPPoE or PPTP encapsulation. Static displays if the WAN
port is using a manually entered static (fixed) IP address.
For the LAN, WLAN or DMZ, DHCP server displays when the ZyWALL is set to
automatically give IP address information to the computers connected to the LAN.
DHCP relay displays when the ZyWALL is set to forward IP address assignment
requests to another DHCP server. Static displays if the LAN port is using a
manually entered static (fixed) IP address. In this case, you must have another
DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers must be manually configured.
For the dial backup port, this shows N/A when dial backup is disabled and IPCP
client when dial backup is enabled.
Renew If you are using Ethernet encapsulation and the WAN port is configured to get the
IP address automatically from the ISP, click Renew to release the WAN port’s
dynamically assigned IP address and get the IP address afresh. Click Dial to dial
up the PPTP, PPPoE or dial backup connection. Click Drop to disconnect the
PPTP, PPPoE, 3G WAN or dial backup connection.
Security Services
Content Filter
Expiration Date
This is the date the category-based content filtering service subscription expires.
Click the field label to go to the screen where you can update your service
subscription.
Web Site Blocked This displays how many web site hits the ZyWALL has blocked since it last
started up. N/A displays when the service subscription has expired.
3G WAN Interface
Status
The fields below shows up on the ZyWALL with a 3G card inserted.
3G Connection
Status
This displays WAN2 (the remote node name configured through the SMT) when
the 3G connection is up.
This displays Down when the 3G connection is down or not activated.
This displays Idle when the 3G connection is idle.
This displays Init when the ZyWALL is initializing the 3G card.
This displays Drop when the ZyWALL is dropping a call.
This also displays whether the ZyWALL is connected to a UMTS/HSDPA network
or GPRS/EDGE network.
Service Provider This displays the name of your network service provider or Limited Service when
the signal strength is too low.
Signal Strength This displays the strength of the signal. The signal strength mainly depends on
the antenna output power and the distance between your ZyWALL and the
service provider’s base station.
Connection Up
Time
This displays how long the 3G connection has been up.
