1.2 Applications for the ZyXEL Device

Here are some example uses for which the ZyXEL Device is well suited.

1.2.1 Internet Access

Your ZyXEL Device provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to
the DSL or MODEM jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. Computers can
connect to the ZyXEL Device's LAN ports (or wirelessly). You can have multiple
WAN services over one ADSL or Ethernet line. The ZyXEL Device cannot work in
ADSL and Ethernet mode at the same time.

LAN
1.2.1.1 3G WAN
The USB port allows you to wirelessly connect to a 3G network to get Internet
access by attaching a 3G wireless card. You must leave the DSL or Ethernet WAN
port unconnected and attached a 3G wireless card to use 3G as your WAN. You
can also have the ZyXEL Device use the 3G WAN connection as a backup. That
means the ZyXEL Device switches to the 3G wireless WAN connection after the
wired DSL or Ethernet WAN connection fails. The ZyXEL Device automatically
changes back to use the wired DSL or Ethernet WAN connection when it is
available.
