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.
Auto Firmware Upgrade Your device gives you the option to upgrade to a newer firmware version if it
finds one during auto-provisioning. Your VoIP service provider must have
an auto-provisioning server and a server set up with firmware in order for
this feature to work.
Firewall Your device has a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service)
protection. By default, when the firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from
the WAN to the LAN is blocked unless it is initiated from the LAN. The
firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real
time alerts, reports and logs.
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.
Network Address
Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet
protocol address used within one network (for example a private IP address
used in a local network) to a different IP address known within another
network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).
Content Filtering Content filtering allows you to block access to Internet web sites that
contain key words (that you specify) in the URL. You can also schedule
when to perform the filtering and give trusted LAN IP addresses unfiltered
Internet access.
Media Bandwidth
Management
Media Bandwidth Management allows you to specify bandwidth classes
based on an application and/or subnet. You can allocate specific amounts
of bandwidth capacity (bandwidth budgets) to different bandwidth classes.
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
Dynamic DNS Support With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a
dynamic IP address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from
various locations on the Internet. You must register for this service with a
Dynamic DNS service provider.
