ZyWALL 100 Internet Security Gateway
1-2 Getting to Know Your ZyWALL
Reset Button
The ZyWALL 100 comes with a reset button built into the rear panel. Use this button to restore the factory
default password to 1234, IP address to 192.168.1.1, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and DHCP server enabled
with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting at 192.168.1.33.
PCMCIA Port
The PCMCIA port provides the option of a wireless LAN.
IEEE 802.11b 11 Mbps Wireless LAN
The optional 11 Mbps wireless LAN card provides mobility and a fast network environment for small and
home offices. Users can connect to the local area network without any wiring efforts and enjoy reliable high-
speed connectivity.
1.3 Non-Physical Features of The ZyWALL 100
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 ZyWALL 100 VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is fully interoperable with other IPSec-based
VPN products.
Firewall
The ZyWALL is 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 ZyWALL firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real time alerts,
reports and logs.
Content Filtering
The ZyWALL can block web features such as ActiveX controls, Java applets and cookies, as well as disable
web proxies. The ZyWALL can block specific URLs by using the keyword feature. It also allows the
administrator to define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled and to include or
exclude a range of users on the LAN from content filtering.
You can configure most features of the ZyWALL 100 via SMT but ZyXEL
recommends using the embedded web configurator to configure the firewall and
content filtering.
Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering
MAC Address Filtering together with ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentifier) and WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy) ensure the most secure wireless solution.
