Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Firefox 1.5 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.

  • Page 24: Logging Out Of The Web Configurator

    If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to use the RESET button at the back of the ZyXEL Device to reload the factory- default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to “1234”.

  • Page 25: Navigating The Web Configurator

    Chapter 2 The Web Configurator You can also use the RESET button to restart the ZyXEL Device (without restoring the defaults) by pressing down for 2 to 14 seconds. 2.3 Navigating the Web Configurator The following summarizes how to navigate the web configurator from the main Status screen.

    Acquire Downstream Channel In order to establish a successful connection with the cable provider’s network, the ZyXEL Device must first find and lock onto a frequency for communication with the cable operator’s network. The frequency is called a channel. Communication with the cable operator’s network cannot proceed until the ZyXEL Device finds the specific channel for sending and receiving data.
  • Page 30 If there is a problem making a TFTP connection with the cable operator’s CMTS, you will see the message Waiting for TFTP. If the ZyXEL Device does not receive a DHCP offer from the cable operator’s CMTS you will see the message Waiting for DHCP Offer.

  • Page 31: Software

    These are called the Downstream Channel and Upstream Channel respectively. The channel numbers and frequencies are advertised by the cable operator’s CMTS during the initial booting of the ZyXEL Device; these may also be set in the configuration file.

    The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter. IP Address A static IP is a fixed IP that you configure on the ZyXEL Device. A dynamic IP is not fixed; a DHCP server provides an IP address to an Ethernet device each time it connects to the network.

    Internet. For example a home network and one in a business office. This requires special equipment on both ends of the connection. The ZyXEL Device is not one of the endpoints but it does allow traffic from those endpoints to pass through. The ZyXEL Device allows the following types of VPN traffic to pass through: P-974H/HW Series User’s Guide...

  • Page 46: Options

    PassThrough using PPTP. Clear this option to disallow this type of VPN traffic. Multicast Enable Select this option to set the ZyXEL Device to forward multicast traffic. The ZyXEL Device acts as an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) proxy and forwards multicast streams to multicast group members on your network.

  • Page 47: Ip Filtering

    Chapter 5 Advanced 5.3 IP Filtering You can set the ZyXEL Device to block access based on the IP address of a computer on the LAN. Computers whose IP addresses are specified in the IP Filtering screen are denied access to the ZyXEL Device and the Internet.

  • Page 48: Mac Filtering

    Chapter 5 Advanced 5.4 MAC Filtering You can set the ZyXEL Device to block access based on the Media Access Control (MAC) address of a computer on the LAN. Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example “00:AC:12:00:01:15”.

  • Page 49: Port Filtering

    Chapter 5 Advanced 5.5 Port Filtering You can set the ZyXEL Device to drop traffic based on service port numbers and protocol types. This feature allows you to specify the applications (such as MSN and TFTP) the computers on the LAN cannot use. See Appendix D on page 99 common services.

  • Page 50: Port Forwarding

    Chapter 5 Advanced 5.6 Port Forwarding You can set the ZyXEL Device to forward traffic to certain computers on your network based on the port numbers of incoming traffic. For example, if you set up an FTP server on your local network and you want it be available from the outside your LAN.

  • Page 51: Chapter 6 Wireless Lan

    The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B use the access point (AP) to interact with the other devices (such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your ZyXEL Device is the AP. Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.

  • Page 52: What You Need To Know

    Normally, the ZyXEL Device acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the SSID instead, in which case the ZyXEL Device does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.

  • Page 53: Table 16 Types Of Encryption For Each Type Of Authentication

    Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every device in the wireless network supports. For example, suppose you have a wireless network with the ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device does not have a local user database, and you do not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no authentication.

  • Page 54: Basic Wlan Settings

    The SSID (Service Set IDentification) is a unique name to identify the (SSID) ZyXEL Device in the wireless LAN. Wireless stations associating to the ZyXEL Device must have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name of up to 32 printable characters (including spaces;...

  • Page 55: Wireless Lan Security

    Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key. Your ZyXEL Device allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key can be enabled at any one time.

  • Page 56: Figure 17 Wireless: Security: Wep

    The key is not sent over the network. This key must be the same on the external authentication server and ZyXEL Device. You only need to configure RADIUS server settings if you enable 802.1x authentication.

  • Page 57: Introduction To Wpa(2)

    Wireless clients authenticate with the RADIUS server before they can access your wireless network. Network Key The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the ZyXEL Device and the 1.. 4 wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.

  • Page 58: Wpa/Wpa2

    Chapter 6 Wireless LAN Therefore, if you don't have an external RADIUS server you should use WPA(2)- PSK (WPA -Pre-Shared Key) that only requires a single (identical) password entered into each access point, wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a client will be granted access to a WLAN.

    Chapter 6 Wireless LAN 6.3.4 WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK If you don’t have an external RADIUS server, you should use WPA(2)-PSK (WPA - Pre-Shared Key). WPA(2)-PSK only requires a single (identical) password entered into each WLAN member. As long as the passwords match, a client will be granted access to the wireless network.

    Ping Size Specify the size of the ping packet the ZyXEL Device is to send. The default is 64 bytes (56 bytes of data plus 8 bytes for the header). If you need to determine the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size TCP/IP connection, change this setting.

  • Page 66: Band

    Data Size Specify the number of data packet bytes the ZyXEL Device sends on the traceroute. The default is 40 bytes (32 bytes of data plus 8 bytes for the header). If you need to determine the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size TCP/IP connection, change this setting.

  • Page 67: Table 25 Maintenance: Band

    This field is applicable when you select EURO in the Plan field. Offset Enter the offset. For example if you enter 50000, the ZyXEL Device will scan frequencies from the starting frequency to the last frequency in 50000 Hz increments.
