Select this option if your ZyXEL Device is using a dynamically assigned IP
address from a DHCP server each time.
Note: You must know the IP address assigned to the ZyXEL
Device (by the DHCP server) to access the ZyXEL
Device again.
Use fixed IP address Select this option if your ZyXEL Device is using a static IP address. When
you select this option, fill in the fields below.
IP Address Enter the IP address of your ZyXEL Device in dotted decimal notation.
Note: If you change the ZyXEL Device's IP address, you must
use the new IP address if you want to access the web
configurator again.
IP Subnet Mask Type the subnet mask.
Gateway IP Address Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor
of your ZyXEL Device that will forward the packet to the destination. On the
LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your ZyXEL
Device; over the WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the
remote nodes.
