Allow the IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and/or IEEE 802.11n wireless
clients to connect to the Device wirelessly. Enable wireless security (WEP,
WPA(2), WPA(2)-PSK) and/or MAC filtering to protect your wireless
network.
Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web site and use
the web configurator to put it on the Device.
Note: Only upload firmware for your specific model!
Make a copy of the Device's configuration. You can put it back on the
Device later if you decide to revert back to an earlier configuration.
If you have a server (mail or web server for example) on your network,
you can use this feature to let people access it from the Internet.
Use this feature to have the Device assign IP addresses, an IP default
gateway and DNS servers to computers on your network. Your device can
also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP
address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.
Use this feature to have the ZyXEL Device assign IPv6 addresses, an IPv6
default gateway and IPv6 DNS servers to computers on your network.
With Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) support, you can use a fixed
URL, www.zyxel.com for example, with a dynamic IP address. You must
register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
IP multicast is used to send traffic to a specific group of computers. The
Device supports versions 1 and 2 of IGMP (Internet Group Management
Protocol) used to join multicast groups (see RFC 2236).
Get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on
your Device. You can also set the time manually. These dates and times
are then used in logs.
Use logs for troubleshooting. You can send logs from the Device to an
external syslog server.
A UPnP-enabled device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP
address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.
and giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or to particular
computers.
This allows you to decide whether a service (HTTP or FTP traffic for
example) from a computer on a network (LAN or WAN for example) can
access the Device.
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up
connection. It allows your ISP to use their existing network configuration
with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL. The PPPoE driver on
your device is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only
Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE thus saving you from having to
manage PPPoE clients on individual computers.
PPPoE idle time out
PPPoE dial on demand
IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks
over the same Ethernet interface. Your device supports three logical LAN
interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface with the your device
itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
Your device's packet filtering function allows added network security and
management.
