Web Configurator Management
The ZyXEL Device comes with an embedded web-based configurator. It offers advanced
management features and allows you to manage the ZyXEL Device remotely using Internet
Explorer.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP
protocol suite. Your ZyXEL Device supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a
manager station to manage and monitor the ZyXEL Device through the network. The ZyXEL
Device supports SNMP version 2c (SNMPv2c).

Upgrade Firmware

The firmware of the ZyXEL Device can be upgraded via the web configurator.
Syslog
The ZyXEL Device's syslog function allows network administrators to monitor the usage
status of subscribers from a remote site. You can set up a syslog server to receive the log of
information on current logged-in subscribers that the ZyXEL Device sends periodically.
IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN Standard
The ZyXEL Device complies with the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard, which supports data
speeds of up to 54 Mbps.
IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN Standard
The ZyXEL Device is also fully compatible with the 802.11b standard. This means an IEEE
802.11b radio card can interface directly with the ZyXEL Device (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps
or lower depending on range.
Antennas
The ZyXEL Device is equipped with two reverse SMA connectors and two detachable omni-
directional 2dBi antennas to provide a clear radio signal between the wireless stations and the
access points.
4-Port Switch
A combination of switch and Internet gateway makes your ZyXEL Device a cost-effective and
viable network solution. You can connect up to four computers to the LAN ports on the
ZyXEL Device without the cost of a hub. To connect more than four Ethernet devices, attach a
hub or switch.
