1
the WAN port fails.
Time and Date
The ZyWALL allows you to get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on your
ZyWALL. You can also set the time manually.

Reset Button

The ZyWALL reset button is 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.
IEEE 802.11b 11 Mbps Wireless LAN
The ZyWALL 2WE has an internal 11 Mbps wireless LAN card that provides mobility and a fast network
environment for small and home offices. You can connect to the local area network without any wiring
efforts and enjoy reliable high-speed connectivity.
1.2.2 Non-Physical Features
IPSec VPN Capability
Establish Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnels to connect (home) office computers to your company
network using data encryption and the Internet; thus providing secure communications without the expense
of leased site-to-site lines. The ZyWALL VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is fully interoperable with
other IPSec-based VPN products.
The ZyWALL supports two simultaneous VPN connections.
Firewall
The ZyWALL 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 ZyWALL firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and protection, real time
alerts, reports and logs.
EAP (RFC2284)
The ZyWALL 2WE uses EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). EAP supports multiple authentication
methods to ensure the highest security level available.
