IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless
LAN
The ZyXEL Device can serve as an IEEE 802.11g
wireless access point. Expand your network by allowing
IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b devices to connect to
your network.
Wireless Security The ZyXEL Device supports WEP encryption for basic
security as well as WPA and WPA2 security standards.
MAC Address Filter Allow or deny access to your wired or wireless network
based on the MAC addresses of the computers
communicating with your network.
Any IP The Any IP feature allows a computer to access the
Internet and the ZyXEL Device without changing the
network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask)
of the computer, when the IP addresses of the computer
and the ZyXEL Device are not in the same subnet.
Configuration Backup &
Restoration
Make a copy of the ZyXEL Device’s configuration and put
it back on the ZyXEL Device later if you decide you want
to revert back to an earl i er configuration.
Network Address Translation
(NAT)
Each computer on your network must have its own
unique IP address. Use NAT to convert a single public IP
address to multiple private IP addresses for the
computers on your network.
Port Forwarding If you have a server (mail or web server for example) on
your network, then use this feature to let people access it
from the Internet.
DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol)
Use this feature to have the ZyXEL Device assign IP
addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to
computers on your network.
Dynamic DNS Support 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 IP Multicast is used to send traffic to a specific group of
computers. The ZyXEL Device supports versions 1 and 2
of IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) used to
join multicast groups (see RFC 2236).
IP Alias IP Alias allows you to subdivide a physical network into
logical networks over the same Ethernet interface with
the ZyXEL Device itself as the gateway for each subnet.
Time and Date Get the current time and date from an external server
when you turn on your ZyXEL Device. You can also set
the time manually. These dates and times are then used
in logs.
Logging and Tracing Use packet tracing and logs for troubleshooting. You can
send logs from the ZyXEL Device to an external UNIX
syslog server.
PPPoE PPPoE mimics a dial-up over Ethernet Internet access
connection.
Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP)
The ZyXEL Device can communicate with other UPnP
enabled devices in a network.
