Register online at
The ZyWALL is a dual Ethernet Internet Security Gateway integrated with robust firewall solutions and
network management features that allows access to the Internet via cable/ADSL modem or Internet router. It
is designed for:
Home offices and small businesses with cable, xDSL and wireless modem via Ethernet port as Internet
access media.
Multiple office/department connections via access devices.
E-commerce/EDI applications.
The ZyWALL 10/10 II/50 features an ICSA certified firewall, IPSec VPN capability (allowing up to 10/50
simultaneous secure connections), MultiNAT (for multiple IP address translation), web page content filtering
and an embedded web server for easy configuration. See the next chapter for more details on these and other
features.
The embedded web configurator is an all-platform, web-based utility that allows you to easily access the
ZyWALLs' management settings and configure the firewall. Use the Help icon in the web configurator for
explanations of the fields.
Most functions of the ZyWALL are also software configurable via the SMT (System Management Terminal)
interface. The SMT is a menu-driven interface that you can access from a terminal emulator through the
console port or over a telnet connection.
You can configure most features of the ZYWALL 10/10 II/50 via SMT but we
recommend you configure the firewall using the ZyWALL Web Configurator.
