7.1.2 What You Need to Know

The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the Zyxel Device, which makes it accessible from an outside
network. It is used by the Zyxel Device to communicate with other devices in other networks. The ISP
dynamically assigns it each time the Zyxel Device tries to access the Internet.
APN
An Access Point Name (APN) is the name of a gateway between a cellular network and another
network, such as the Internet. The Zyxel Device requires an APN to connect to a cellular network.
Different APNs may provide different services, such as Internet access or MMS (Multi-Media Messaging
Service), and different charging methods.
