Page 19: Preface
Congratulations on your purchase of the ZyXEL VSG-1200 Vantage Service Gateway. The VSG-1200 Vantage Service Gateway is designed to provide Internet access to computers on a network with broadband service. Subscribers enjoy easy Internet connectivity with no extra configuration. The VSG provides basic billing functions and a subscriber database to simplify management.
Page 21: Getting Started
Getting Started Part I: Getting Started This part introduces the VSG (Vantage Service Gateway), hardware installation, connections and basic system configuration using the web configurator.
Page 23: Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your Vsg
VSG-1200 Vantage Service Gateway Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your VSG This chapter introduces the features and applications of the VSG. Introducing the VSG The VSG (Vantage Service Gateway) is a rack-mountable Internet Service Gateway that provides multiple subscribers easy Internet connectivity. The VSG is ideal for office, hotspot and hotel environments.
Page 24: Applications
VSG-1200 Vantage Service Gateway DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual computers (DHCP clients) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The VSG has built-in DHCP server capability. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients. The VSG can also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the DHCP clients.
Page 25: Internet Access In Public Areas
VSG-1200 Vantage Service Gateway Figure 1-1 Application: Internet Access for LAN Networks 1.3.2 Internet Access in Public Areas In public areas, such as a hotel, the VSG provides high speed Internet access to subscribers. Account billing and authentication can be done either using an external RADIUS server or the built-in billing function and local subscriber database.

VSG-1200 Vantage Service Gateway Appendix E IP Subnetting IP Addressing Routers “route” based on the network number. The router that delivers the data packet to the correct destination host uses the host ID. IP Classes An IP address is made up of four octets (eight bits), written in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.1. IP addresses are categorized into different classes.
Page 186: Subnet Masks
VSG-1200 Vantage Service Gateway Subnet Masks A subnet mask is used to determine which bits are part of the network number, and which bits are part of the host ID (using a logical AND operation). A subnet mask has 32 bits; each bit of the mask corresponds to a bit of the IP address.
Page 187 VSG-1200 Vantage Service Gateway The first three octets of the address make up the network number (class “C”). You want to have two separate networks. Divide the network 192.168.1.0 into two separate subnets by converting one of the host ID bits of the IP address to a network number bit.
