36 Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your ZyXEL Device
IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same
Ethernet interface. The ZyXEL Device supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single
physical Ethernet interface with the ZyXEL Device itself as the gateway for each LAN
network.
TR-069 Compliance
TR-069 is a protocol that defines how your ZyXEL Device can be managed via a management
server such as ZyXEL’s Vantage CNM Access. The management server can securely manage
and update configuration changes in the ZyXEL Device.
Housing
Your ZyXEL Device's compact and ventilated housing minimizes space requirements making
it easy to position anywhere in your busy office.
4-port Switch
A combination of switch and router makes your ZyXEL Device a cost-effective and viable
network solution. You can connect up to four computers to the ZyXEL Device without the
cost of a hub. Use a hub to add more than four computers to your LAN.
1.2.1 Wireless Features
Wireless LAN
The ZyXEL Device supports the IEEE 802.11g standard, which is fully compatible with the
IEEE 802.11b standard, meaning that you can have both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g
wireless clients in the same wireless network.
Note: The ZyXEL Device may be prone to RF (Radio Frequency) interference from
other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwave ovens, wireless phones, Bluetooth
enabled devices, and other wireless LANs.
Wi-Fi Protected Access
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security specification standard.
Key differences between WPA and WEP are user authentication and improved data
encryption.
WPA2
WPA 2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption,
authentication and key management than WPA.
