1.1.3 ZON Utility
With its built-in Web Configurator, including the Neighbor Management feature ( Section 7.2.1 on page
79 ), viewing, managing and configuring the Switch and its neighboring devices is simplified.
In addition, Zyxel offers a proprietary software program called Zyxel One Network (ZON) Utility, it is a
utility tool that assists you to set up and maintain network devices in a more simple and efficient way.
You can download the ZON Utility at www.zyxel.com and install it on a PC (Windows operation system).
For more information on ZON Utility see
Section 4.3 on page 48 .
1.2 Example Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments. Note that the
Switch in the figure is just an example Switch and not your actual Switch.
1.2.1 Bridging or Fiber Uplink Example Application
In this example, the Switch connects different company departments ( RD and Sales ) to the corporate
backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All
users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers through the Switch.
You can provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet or SFP port on the Switch.
Moreover, the Switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize
multiple servers at a single location.
