The Front Panel LEDs

The PWR LED blinks while performing system testing and then stays on if the testing is successful. The
CON/AUX, LAN, and WAN LEDs turn on if they are properly connected. Refer to the User's Guide for
more detailed LED descriptions.
Connect a computer to one of these ports with an Ethernet cable. These ports are auto-
negotiating (can connect at 10 or 100Mbps) and auto-sensing (automatically adjusts to the type
of Ethernet cable you use, straight-through or crossover).
Connect your cable/DSL modem to this port with the cable that came with your modem.
Connect the included power adaptor (use only this adapter) to this power socket.
Only connect this port if you want to configure the ZyWALL using the SMT via console port see
your User's Guide for details.
Set this switch to the "CON" side to use the CON/AUX port as a console port for local device
configuration and management. Connect the 9-pin male end of the console cable to the console
port of the ZyWALL and the other end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) on your
computer. Your computer should have a terminal emulation communications program (such as
HyperTerminal) set to VT100 terminal emulation, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control
and 9600 bps port speed.
You only need to use this button if you've forgotten the ZyWALL's password. It returns the
ZyWALL to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1, terminal
emulation settings as described above etc.; see your User's Guide for details).
