  • Page 59: Connection Wizard: Step 3: Internet Configuration

    P-334WH User’s Guide 3.4 Connection Wizard: STEP 3: Internet Configuration The ZyXEL Device offers three Internet connection types. They are Ethernet, PPP over Ethernet or PPTP. The wizard attempts to detect which WAN connection type you are using. If the wizard does not detect a connection type, you must select one from the drop-down list box.
  • Page 60: Pppoe Connection

    By implementing PPPoE directly on the ZyXEL Device (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the ZyXEL Device does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.
  • Page 61: Pptp Connection

    PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet. Refer to the appendix for more information on PPTP. Note: The ZyXEL Device supports one PPTP server connection at any given time. Chapter 3 Connection Wizard...

  • Page 64: Ip Address And Subnet Mask

    Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance, 192.168.1.1, for your ZyXEL Device, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.
  • Page 65: Wan Ip And Dns Server Address Assignment

    The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The ZyXEL Device uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for DDNS and the time server.
  • Page 66: Wan Mac Address

    This screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the ZyXEL Device’s MAC address, copying the MAC address from a computer on your LAN or manually entering a MAC address. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to the "rom"...
  • Page 67: Connection Wizard: Step 4: Bandwidth Management

    Bandwidth management allows you to control the amount of bandwidth going out through the ZyXEL Device’s WAN, LAN or WLAN port and prioritize the distribution of the bandwidth according to the traffic type. This helps keep one service from using all of the available bandwidth and shutting out other users.

    The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with 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 70: Wireless Security Overview

    P-334WH User’s Guide • Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.

    P-334WH User’s Guide For wireless networks, there are two typical places to store the user names and passwords for each user. • In the AP: this feature is called a local user database or a local database. • In a RADIUS server: this is a server used in businesses more than in homes.
  • Page 72: General Wireless Lan Screen

    When you select WPA2 or WPA2-PSK in your ZyXEL Device, you can also select an option (WPA Compatible) to support WPA as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up WPA2-PSK or WPA2 (depending on the type of wireless network login) and select the WPA Compatible option in the ZyXEL Device.
