Introducing the ZyXEL Device
This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the ZyXEL Device.
1.1 Overview
This user's guide explains how to configure the following ZyXEL devices:
- The P-2302HWUD-P1 is a 4-port wireless router with Voice over IP (VoIP) communication capabilities that allow you to use a traditional analog telephone to make Internet calls. The P-2302HWUD-P1 is also a complete security solution with a robust firewall and content filtering.
- The P-2302HWUDL-P1 adds a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line feature which allows you to use your regular phone services and internet telephone services at the same time.
This user's guide refers to these models simply as the "ZyXEL Device". Please refer to Appendix A on page 295 for a complete list of features for your model.
1.1.1 VoIP Features
You can register up to 10 SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) accounts and use the ZyXEL Device to make and receive VoIP telephone calls:

Figure 1 ZyXEL Device's VoIP Features
-
Peer-to-Peer calls (A) - Use the ZyXEL Device to make a call to the recipient's IP address without using a SIP proxy server.
-
Calls via a VoIP service provider (B) - The ZyXEL Device sends your call to a VoIP service provider's SIP server which forwards your calls to either VoIP or PSTN phones.
1.1.2 VoIP Trunking Gateway
VoIP trunking allows you to use your ZyXEL Device as a gateway between VoIP and PSTN networks.

Figure 2 ZyXEL Device as a VoIP Trunking Gateway
In this example, you use your analog phone (A) to call the ZyXEL Device (B). The ZyXEL Device changes the call into VoIP and sends it via the Internet to another VoIP phone(C).
1.1.3 DECT Base Station Feature
Your ZyXEL Device has a built in Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) base station. DECT is an ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) standard for digital cordless phones which specifies how they transmit, receive and process data and voice communication. You can register any DECT GAP phone with the ZyXEL Device.

Figure 3 DECT Base Station Feature
You can use your DECT phone to make calls to other DECT phones registered with the ZyXEL Device (A). These calls are referred to as internal calls.
You can also use your DECT phone to make VoIP calls (B). For the PSTN models, you can also make calls via the PSTN line (C). These types of calls are referred to as external calls.
1.1.4 ZyXEL Device's USB Support
Use the built-in USB 2.0 ports to share files via a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive (A). You can also add a printer (B) and make it available on your local area network.

Figure 4 File Sharing Overview
1.1.5 ZyXEL Device's Router Features
Your ZyXEL Device provides shared Internet access through your existing Internet access gateway (company network, or your cable or DSL modem for example). Computers can connect to the ZyXEL Device's LAN ports (or wirelessly).

Figure 5 ZyXEL Device's Router Features
You can also configure firewall and content filtering on the ZyXEL Device for secure Internet access. When the firewall is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked unless it is initiated from your network. This means that probes from the outside to your network are not allowed, but you can safely browse the Internet and download files.
Use content filtering to block access to specific web sites, with URL's containing keywords that you specify. You can define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled and include or exclude particular computers on your network from content filtering. For example, you could block access to certain web sites for the kids.
Use bandwidth management to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers. For example, you could make sure that the ZyXEL Device gives voice over Internet calls high priority, and/or limit bandwidth devoted to the boss's excessive file downloading.
1.2 Ways to Manage the ZyXEL Device
Use any of the following methods to manage the ZyXEL Device.
- Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the ZyXEL Device using a web browser.
- Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service engineers.
- FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore (Chapter 18 on page 219)
- SNMP. The device can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See the SNMP chapter in this User's Guide.
- SPTGEN. SPTGEN is a text configuration file that allows you to configure the device by uploading an SPTGEN file. This is especially convenient if you need to configure many devices of the same type.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the ZyXEL Device
Do the following things regularly to make the ZyXEL Device more secure and to manage the ZyXEL Device more effectively.
- Change the password. Use a password that's not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
- Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
- Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the ZyXEL Device to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally reconfigure the ZyXEL Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.
1.4 LEDs (Lights)

Wireless LAN
This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your ZyXEL Device. See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.
5.1 Wireless Network Overview
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.

Figure 42 Example of a Wireless Network
The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B use the access point (AP) to interact with the other devices (such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your ZyXEL Device is the AP.
Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.
- Every device in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.
- If two wireless networks overlap, they should use a different channel.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information.
- Every device in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP. Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.
5.2 Wireless Security Overview
The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network.
5.2.1 SSD
Normally, the ZyXEL Device acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the SSID instead, in which case the ZyXEL Device does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.
This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized wireless devices to get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized wireless devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network.
5.2.2 MAC Address Filter
Every device that can use a wireless network has a unique identification number, called a MAC address. A MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each device in the wireless network, see the device's User's Guide or other documentation.
You can use the MAC address filter to tell the ZyXEL Device which devices are allowed or not allowed to use the wireless network. If a device is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the correct information (SSID, channel, and security). If a device is not allowed to use the wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct information.
This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless devices to get the MAC address of an authorized device. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network.
5.2.3 User Authentication
You can make every user log in to the wireless network before they can use it. This is called user authentication. However, every device in the wireless network has to support IEEE 802.1x to do this.
For wireless networks, user names and passwords for each user can be stored in a RADIUS server.
Unauthorized wireless devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network, even if they cannot use the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless users to get a valid user name and password. Then, they can use that user name and password to use the wireless network.
5.2.4 Encryption
Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the message.
The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of authentication. (See Section 5.2.3 on page 86 for information about this.)
Table 33 Types of Encryption for Each Type of Authentication
| No AUTHENTICATION | RADIUS SERVER |
| None | |
| Static WEP | |
| WPA-PSK | WPA |
| WPA2-PSK | WPA2 |
For example, if the wireless network has a RADIUS server, you can choose WPA or WPA2. If users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no encryption, Static WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK.
Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every device in the wireless network supports. For example, suppose you have a wireless network with the ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device does not have a local user database, and you do not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no authentication. Suppose the wireless network has two devices. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA. Therefore, you should set up Static WEP in the wireless network.

It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger encryption.
When you select WPA2 or WPA2-PSK in your ZyXEL Device, you can also select an option (WPA compatible) to support WPA as well. In this case, if some of the devices support WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up WPA2-PSK or WPA2 (depending on the type of wireless network login) and select the WPA compatible option in the ZyXEL Device.
Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every device in the wireless network must have the same key.
5.2.5 One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology (OTIST)
With ZyXEL's OTIST, you set up the SSID and the encryption (WEP or WPA-PSK) on the ZyXEL Device. Then, the ZyXEL Device transfers them to the devices in the wireless networks. As a result, you do not have to set up the SSID and encryption on every device in the wireless network.
The devices in the wireless network have to support OTIST, and they have to be in range of the ZyXEL Device when you activate it. See Section 5.5 on page 94 for more details.
5.3 Additional Wireless Terms
The following table describes wireless network terms and acronyms used in the ZyXEL Device.
Table 34 Additional Wireless Terms
| TERM | DESCRIPTION |
| RTS/CTS Threshold | In a wireless network which covers a large area, wireless devices are sometimes not aware of each other's presence. This may cause them to send information to the AP at the same time and result in information colliding and not getting through. By setting this value lower than the default value, the wireless devices must sometimes get permission to send information to the ZyXEL Device. The lower the value, the more often the devices must get permission. If this value is greater than the fragmentation threshold value (see below), then wireless devices never have to get permission to send information to the ZyXEL Device. |
| Authentication | The process of verifying whether a wireless device is allowed to use the wireless network. |
| Max. Frame Burst | Enable this to improve the performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/g networks. Maximum Frame Burst sets the maximum time that the ZyXEL Device transmits IEEE 802.11g wireless traffic only. |
| Fragmentation Threshold | A small fragmentation threshold is recommended for busy networks, while a larger threshold provides faster performance if the network is not very busy. |
5.4 General WLAN Screen

(If you manually have the wireless device search for an OTIST-enabled AP, there is no timeout; click Cancel in the OTIST progress screen to stop the search.)
3 After the wireless device finds an OTIST-enabled AP, you must click Start in the ZyXEL Device's Network > Wireless LAN > OTIST screen or hold in the Reset button on the ZyXEL Device for one or two seconds to transfer the settings again.
4 If you change the SSID or the keys on the ZyXEL Devices after using OTIST, you need to run OTIST again or enter them manually in the wireless device(s).
5 If you configure OTIST to generate a WPA-PSK key, this key changes each time you run OTIST. Therefore, if a new wireless device joins your wireless network, you need to run OTIST on the AP and ALL wireless devices again.

6.1 WAN Overview
Use these screens to set up the ZyXEL Device on the WAN. You can configure the Internet connection, DNS servers, and how the ZyXEL Device sends routing information using RIP. In addition, you can set up a backup gateway in case the default gateway is not available.
6.1.1 PPPoE Encapsulation
The ZyXEL Device supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPP over Ethernet option is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for example Radius).
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the ZyXEL Device (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the ZyXEL Device does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs' computers will have access.
6.1.2 WAN IP Address Assignment
Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated from the Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks.
Table 43 Private IP Address Ranges
| 10.0.0.0 | - | 10.255.255.255 |
| 172.16.0.0 | - | 172.31.255.255 |
| 192.168.0.0 | - | 192.168.255.255 |
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by a private network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.

Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address; always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address assignment, please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Intermets and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.
6.1.3 MAC Address
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
The MAC address screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the factory default or cloning your computer's MAC address. Choose Factory Default to select the factory assigned default MAC Address.
Otherwise, click Spoof this computer's MAC address - IP Address and enter the IP address of your computer. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to the rom file (ZyNOS configuration file). It will not change unless you change the setting or upload a different ROM file. It is recommended that you clone the MAC address prior to hooking up the WAN Port.
6.1.4 RIP Setup
See Section 7.1.5 on page 113.
6.1.5 DNS Server Address Assignment
The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the ZyXEL Device via DHCP.
Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.
The ZyXEL Device can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
1 The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in the SYSTEM General screen.
2 If the ISP did not give you DNS server information, leave the DNS Server fields in the SYSTEM General screen set to 0.0.0.0 for the ISP to dynamically assign the DNS server IP addresses.

7.1 LAN Overview
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached. A LAN is usually a computer network limited to the immediate area, such as the same building or floor of a building.
7.1.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN share one common network number.
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 and you must enable the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the ZyXEL Device. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual computer on that network.
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance, 192.168.1.1, for your ZyXEL Device, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your ZyXEL Device will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don't need to change the subnet mask computed by the ZyXEL Device unless you are instructed to do otherwise.
7.1.2 DHCP Setup
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the ZyXEL Device as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the ZyXEL Device provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else each computer must be manually configured.
The ZyXEL Device is pre-configured with a pool of IP addresses for the DHCP clients (DHCP Pool). See the product specifications in the appendices. Do not assign static IP addresses from the DHCP pool to your LAN computers.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need to be configured.
7.1.3 LAN TCP/IP
The ZyXEL Device has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability.
The LAN parameters of the ZyXEL Device are preset in the factory with the following values:
- IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
- DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need to be configured.
7.1.4 DNS Server Address
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. The DNS server addresses that you enter in the DHCP setup are passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP address and subnet mask.
There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses. The first is for an ISP to tell a customer the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when s/he signs up. If your ISP gives you the DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup, otherwise, leave them blank.
Some ISPs choose to pass the DNS servers using the DNS server extensions of PPP IPCP (IP Control Protocol) after the connection is up. If your ISP did not give you explicit DNS servers, chances are the DNS servers are conveyed through IPCP negotiation. The ZyXEL Device supports the IPCP DNS server extensions through the DNS proxy feature.
If the Primary and Secondary DNS Server fields in the LAN Setup screen are not specified, for instance, left as 0.0.0.0, the ZyXEL Device tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a computer sends a DNS query to the ZyXEL Device, the ZyXEL Device forwards the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP and relays the response back to the computer.
Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server extensions. It does not mean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP setup under all circumstances. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS servers, make sure that you enter their IP addresses in the LAN Setup screen. This way, the ZyXEL Device can pass the DNS servers to the computers and the computers can query the DNS server directly without the ZyXEL Device's intervention.
7.1.5 RIP Setup
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. When set to:
- Both - the ZyXEL Device will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
- In Only - the ZyXEL Device will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets received.
- Out Only - the ZyXEL Device will send out RIP packets but will not accept any RIP packets received.
- None - the ZyXEL Device will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.
The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the ZyXEL Device sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported; but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network topology.
Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.
7.1.6 Multicast
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1.
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236) is an improvement over version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. If you would like to read more detailed information about interoperability between IGMP version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2236. The class D IP address is used to identify host groups and can be in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The address 224.0.0.0 is not assigned to any group and is used by IP multicast computers. The address 224.0.0.1 is used for query messages and is assigned to the permanent group of all IP hosts (including gateways). All hosts must join the 224.0.0.1 group in order to participate in IGMP. The address 224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group.
The ZyXEL Device supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up, the ZyXEL Device queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the ZyXEL Device periodically updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the ZyXEL Device LAN and/or WAN interfaces in the web configurator (LAN; WAN). Select None to disable IP multicasting on these interfaces.
7.1.7 Any IP
Traditionally, you must set the IP addresses and the subnet masks of a computer and the ZyXEL Device to be in the same subnet to allow the computer to access the Internet (through the ZyXEL Device). In cases where your computer is required to use a static IP address in another network, you may need to manually configure the network settings of the computer every time you want to access the Internet via the ZyXEL Device.
With the Any IP feature and NAT enabled, the ZyXEL Device allows a computer to access the Internet 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. Whether a computer is set to use a dynamic or static (fixed) IP address, you can simply connect the computer to the ZyXEL Device and access the Internet.
The following figure depicts a scenario where a computer is set to use a static private IP address in the corporate environment. In a residential house where a ZyXEL Device is installed, you can still use the computer to access the Internet without changing the network settings, even when the IP addresses of the computer and the ZyXEL Device are not in the same subnet.

Figure 60 Any IP Example
The Any IP feature does not apply to a computer using either a dynamic IP address or a static IP address that is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device's IP address.

You must enable NAT to use the Any IP feature on the ZyXEL Device.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control or MAC address, on the local area network. IP routing table is defined on IP Ethernet devices (the ZyXEL Device) to decide which hop to use, to help forward data along to its specified destination.
The following lists out the steps taken, when a computer tries to access the Internet for the first time through the ZyXEL Device.
1 When a computer (which is in a different subnet) first attempts to access the Internet, it sends packets to its default gateway (which is not the ZyXEL Device) by looking at the MAC address in its ARP table.
2 When the computer cannot locate the default gateway, an ARP request is broadcast on the LAN.
3 The ZyXEL Device receives the ARP request and replies to the computer with its own MAC address
4 The computer updates the MAC address for the default gateway to the ARP table. Once the ARP table is updated, the computer is able to access the Internet through the ZyXEL Device.
5 When the ZyXEL Device receives packets from the computer, it creates an entry in the IP routing table so it can properly forward packets intended for the computer.
After all the routing information is updated, the computer can access the ZyXEL Device and the Internet as if it is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device.

8.1 NAT Overview
Use these screens to configure port forwarding and trigger ports for the ZyXEL Device. You can also enable and disable SIP, FTP, and H.323 ALG.
8.1.1 Port Forwarding: Services and Port Numbers
A NAT server set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can make accessible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world.
Use the NAT Port Forwarding Screen to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers.
In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded.
See Appendix G on page 347 for examples of services.
For example., let's say you want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of 192.168.1.35 to a third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses and the ISP assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet.

Figure 67 Multiple Servers Behind NAT Example
8.1.2 Trigger Port Forwarding
Some services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of ports on the server side. With regular port forwarding you set a forwarding port in NAT to forward a service (coming in from the server on the WAN) to the IP address of a computer on the client side (LAN). The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address. In order to use the same service on a different LAN computer, you have to manually replace the LAN computer's IP address in the forwarding port with another LAN computer's IP address,
Trigger port forwarding solves this problem by allowing computers on the LAN to dynamically take turns using the service. The ZyXEL Device records the IP address of a LAN computer that sends traffic to the WAN to request a service with a specific port number and protocol (a "trigger" port). When the ZyXEL Device's WAN port receives a response with a specific port number and protocol ("incoming" port), the ZyXEL Device forwards the traffic to the LAN IP address of the computer that sent the request. After that computer's connection for that service closes, another computer on the LAN can use the service in the same manner. This way you do not need to configure a new IP address each time you want a different LAN computer to use the application.
8.1.2.1 Trigger Port Forwarding Example
The following is an example of trigger port forwarding.

Figure 68 Trigger Port Forwarding Process: Example
1 Jane requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070).
2 Port 7070 is a "trigger" port and causes the ZyXEL Device to record Jane's computer IP address. The ZyXEL Device associates Jane's computer IP address with the "incoming" port range of 6970-7170.
3 The Real Audio server responds using a port number ranging between 6970-7170.
4 The ZyXEL Device forwards the traffic to Jane's computer IP address.
5 Only Jane can connect to the Real Audio server until the connection is closed or times out. The ZyXEL Device times out in three minutes with UDP (User Datagram Protocol), or two hours with TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).
8.1.2.2 Two Points To Remember About Trigger Ports
1 Trigger events only happen on data that is going coming from inside the ZyXEL Device and going to the outside.
2 If an application needs a continuous data stream, that port (range) will be tied up so that another computer on the LAN can't trigger it.
8.1.3 SIP ALG
Some NAT routers may include a SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG). A SIP ALG allows SIP calls to pass through NAT by examining and translating IP addresses embedded in the data stream. When the ZyXEL Device registers with the SIP register server, the SIP ALG translates the ZyXEL Device's private IP address inside the SIP data stream to a public IP address. You do not need to use STUN or an outbound proxy (see Chapter 9 on page 133) if your ZyXEL Device is behind a SIP ALG.

| Max NAT/Firewall Session Per User | When computers use peer to peer applications, such as file sharing applications, they may use a large number of NAT sessions. If you do not limit the number of NAT sessions a single client can establish, this can result in all of the available NAT sessions being used. In this case, no additional NAT sessions can be established, and users may not be able to access the Internet. Each NAT session establishes a corresponding firewall session. Use this field to limit the number of NAT/firewall sessions each client computer can establish through the ZyXEL Device.If your network has a small number of clients using peer to peer applications, you can raise this number to ensure that their performance is not degraded by the number of NAT sessions they can establish. If your network has a large number of users using peer to peer applications, you can lower this number to ensure no single client is using all of the available NAT sessions. |

9.1 SIP Overview
9.1.1 Introduction to VoIP
VoIP (Voice over IP) is the sending of voice signals over the Internet Protocol. This allows you to make phone calls and send faxes over the Internet at a fraction of the cost of using the traditional circuit-switched telephone network. You can also use servers to run telephone service applications like PBX services and voice mail. Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) companies provide VoIP service. A company could alternatively set up an IP-PBX and provide it's own VoIP service.
Circuit-switched telephone networks require 64 kilobits per second (kbps) in each direction to handle a telephone call. VoIP can use advanced voice coding techniques with compression to reduce the required bandwidth.
9.1.2 Introduction to SIP
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol that handles the setting up, altering and tearing down of voice and multimedia sessions over the Internet.
SIP signaling is separate from the media for which it handles sessions. The media that is exchanged during the session can use a different path from that of the signaling. SIP handles telephone calls and can interface with traditional circuit-switched telephone networks.
9.1.3 SIP Identities
A SIP account uses an identity (sometimes referred to as a SIP address). A complete SIP identity is called a SIP URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). A SIP account's URI identifies the SIP account in a way similar to the way an e-mail address identifies an e-mail account. The format of a SIP identity is SIP-Number@SIP-Service-Domain.
9.1.3.1 SIP Number
The SIP number is the part of the SIP URI that comes before the "@” symbol. A SIP number can use letters like in an e-mail address (johndoe@your-ITSP.com for example) or numbers like a telephone number (1122334455@VoIP-provider.com for example).
9.1.3.2 SIP Service Domain
The SIP service domain of the VoIP service provider (the company that lets you make phone calls over the Internet) is the domain name in a SIP URI. For example, if the SIP address is 1122334455@VoIP-provider.com, then “VoIP-provider.com” is the SIP service domain.
9.1.4 SIP Call Progression
The following figure displays the basic steps in the setup and tear down of a SIP call. A calls B.
Table 60 SIP Call Progression
| A | B | |
| 1. INVITE | ||
| 2. Ringing | ||
| 3. OK | ||
| 4. ACK | ||
| 5. Dialogue (voice traffic) | ||
| 6. BYE | ||
| 7. OK |
1 A sends a SIP INVITE request to B. This message is an invitation for B to participate in a SIP telephone call.
2 B sends a response indicating that the telephone is ringing.
3 B sends an OK response after the call is answered.
4 A then sends an ACK message to acknowledge that B has answered the call.
5 Now A and B exchange voice media (talk).
6 After talking, A hangs up and sends a BYE request.
7 B replies with an OK response confirming receipt of the BYE request and the call is terminated.
9.1.5 SIP Client Server
SIP is a client-server protocol. A SIP client is an application program or device that sends SIP requests. A SIP server responds to the SIP requests.
When you use SIP to make a VoIP call, it originates at a client and terminates at a server. A SIP client could be a computer or a SIP phone. One device can act as both a SIP client and a SIP server.
9.1.5.1 SIP User Agent
A SIP user agent can make and receive VoIP telephone calls. This means that SIP can be used for peer-to-peer communications even though it is a client-server protocol. In the following figure, either A or B can act as a SIP user agent client to initiate a call. A and B can also both act as a SIP user agent to receive the call.

Figure 74 SIP User Agent
9.1.5.2 SIP Proxy Server
A SIP proxy server receives requests from clients and forwards them to another server.
In the following example, you want to use client device A to call someone who is using client device C.
1 The client device (A in the figure) sends a call invitation to the SIP proxy server (B).
2 The SIP proxy server forwards the call invitation to C.

Figure 75 SIP Proxy Server
9.1.5.3 SIP Redirect Server
A SIP redirect server accepts SIP requests, translates the destination address to an IP address and sends the translated IP address back to the device that sent the request. Then the client device that originally sent the request can send requests to the IP address that it received back from the redirect server. Redirect servers do not initiate SIP requests.
In the following example, you want to use client device A to call someone who is using client device C.
1 Client device A sends a call invitation for C to the SIP redirect server (B).
2 The SIP redirect server sends the invitation back to A with C's IP address (or domain name).
3 Client device A then sends the call invitation to client device C.

Figure 76 SIP Redirect Server
9.1.5.4 SIP Register Server
A SIP register server maintains a database of SIP identity-to-IP address (or domain name) mapping. The register server checks your user name and password when you register.
9.1.6 RTP
When you make a VoIP call using SIP, the RTP (Real time Transport Protocol) is used to handle voice data transfer. See RFC 1889 for details on RTP.
9.1.7 NAT and SIP
The ZyXEL Device must register its public IP address with a SIP register server. If there is a NAT router between the ZyXEL Device and the SIP register server, the ZyXEL Device probably has a private IP address. The ZyXEL Device lists its IP address in the SIP message that it sends to the SIP register server. NAT does not translate this IP address in the SIP message. The SIP register server gets the ZyXEL Device's IP address from inside the SIP message and maps it to your SIP identity. If the ZyXEL Device has a private IP address listed in the SIP message, the SIP server cannot map it to your SIP identity. See Chapter 8 on page 123 for more information about NAT.
Use a SIP ALG (Application Layer Gateway), Use NAT, STUN, or outbound proxy to allow the ZyXEL Device to list its public IP address in the SIP messages.
9.1.7.1 SIP ALG
See Section 8.1.3 on page 125.
9.1.7.2 Use NAT
If you know the NAT router's public IP address and SIP port number, you can use the Use NAT feature to manually configure the ZyXEL Device to use a them in the SIP messages. This eliminates the need for STUN or a SIP ALG.
You must also configure the NAT router to forward traffic with this port number to the ZyXEL Device.
9.1.7.3 STUN
STUN (Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) through Network Address Translators) allows the ZyXEL Device to find the presence and types of NAT routers and/or firewalls between it and the public Internet. STUN also allows the ZyXEL Device to find the public IP address that NAT assigned, so the ZyXEL Device can embed it in the SIP data stream. STUN does not work with symmetric NAT routers or firewalls. See RFC 3489 for details on STUN.
The following figure shows how STUN works.
1 The ZyXEL Device (A) sends SIP packets to the STUN server (B).
2 The STUN server (B) finds the public IP address and port number that the NAT router used on the ZyXEL Device's SIP packets and sends them to the ZyXEL Device.
3 The ZyXEL Device uses the public IP address and port number in the SIP packets that it sends to the SIP server (C).

Figure 77 STUN
9.1.7.4 Outbound Proxy
Your VoIP service provider may host a SIP outbound proxy server to handle all of the ZyXEL Device's VoIP traffic. This allows the ZyXEL Device to work with any type of NAT router and eliminates the need for STUN or a SIP ALG. Turn off a SIP ALG on a NAT router in front of the ZyXEL Device to keep it from retranslating the IP address (since this is already handled by the outbound proxy server).
9.1.8 Voice Coding
A codec (coder/decoder) codes analog voice signals into digital signals and decodes the digital signals back into voice signals. The ZyXEL Device supports the following codecs.
-
G.711 is a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) waveform codec. PCM measures analog signal amplitudes at regular time intervals and converts them into bits. G.711 provides very good sound quality but requires 64kbps of bandwidth.
-
G.729 is an Analysis-by-Synthesis (AbS) hybrid waveform codec that uses a filter based on information about how the human vocal tract produces sounds. G.729 provides good sound quality and reduces the required bandwidth to 8kbps.
9.1.9 PSTN Call Setup Signaling
PSTNs (Public Switched Telephone Networks) use DTMF or pulse dialing to set up telephone calls.
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signaling uses pairs of frequencies (one lower frequency and one higher frequency) to set up calls. It is also known as Touch Tone®. Each of the keys on a DTMF telephone corresponds to a different pair of frequencies.
Pulse dialing sends a series of clicks to the local phone office in order to dial numbers.1
9.1.10 MWI (Message Waiting Indication)
Enable Message Waiting Indication (MWI) enables your phone to give you a message—waiting (beeping) dial tone when you have one or more voice messages. Your VoIP service provider must have a messaging system that sends message-waiting-status SIP packets as defined in RFC 3842.
9.2 Custom Tones (IVR)
IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is a feature that allows you to use your telephone to interact with the ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device allows you to record custom tones for the Caller Ringing Tone and On Hold Tone functions. The same recordings apply to both the caller ringing and on hold tones.
Table 61 Custom Tones Details
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Total Time for All Tones | 127 seconds for all custom tones combined |
| Time per Individual Tone | 20 seconds |
| Total Number of Tones Recordable | 8 You can record up to 8 different custom tones but the total time must be 127 seconds or less. |
9.2.0.1 Recording Custom Tones

1 Pick up the phone and press "**" on your phone's keypad and wait for the message that says you are in the configuration menu.
2 Press a number from 1301 1308 followed by the “#” key to delete the tone of your choice. Press 14 followed by the “#” key if you wish to clear all your custom tones.
You can continue to add, listen to, or delete tones, or you can hang up the receiver when you are done.
9.2.1 Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay and the networking methods used to provide bandwidth for real-time multimedia applications.
9.2.1.1 Type Of Service (ToS)
Network traffic can be classified by setting the ToS (Type Of Service) values at the data source (for example, at the ZyXEL Device) so a server can decide the best method of delivery, that is the least cost, fastest route and so on.
9.2.1.2 DiffServ
DiffServ is a class of service (CoS) model that marks packets so that they receive specific per-hop treatment at DiffServ-compliant network devices along the route based on the application types and traffic flow. Packets are marked with DiffServ Code Points (DSCPs) indicating the level of service desired. This allows the intermediary DiffServ-compliant network devices to handle the packets differently depending on the code points without the need to negotiate paths or remember state information for every flow. In addition, applications do not have to request a particular service or give advanced notice of where the traffic is going.1
9.2.1.3 DSCP and Per-Hop Behavior
DiffServ defines a new DS (Differentiated Services) field to replace the Type of Service (TOS) field in the IP header. The DS field contains a 2-bit unused field and a 6-bit DSCP field which can define up to 64 service levels. The following figure illustrates the DS field.
Figure 78 DiffServ: Differentiated Service Field
| DSCP (6-bit) | Unused (2-bit) |
- The ZyXEL Device does not support DiffServ at the time of writing.
DSCP is backward compatible with the three precedence bits in the ToS octet so that non-DiffServ compliant, ToS-enabled network device will not conflict with the DSCP mapping.
The DSCP value determines the forwarding behavior, the PHB (Per-Hop Behavior), that each packet gets across the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule, different kinds of traffic can be marked for different priorities of forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and the configured policies.
9.2.1.4 VLAN
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks. Only stations within the same group can communicate with each other.
Your ZyXEL Device can add IEEE 802.1Q VLAN ID tags to voice frames that it sends to the network. This allows the ZyXEL Device to communicate with a SIP server that is a member of the same VLAN group. Some ISPs use the VLAN tag to identify voice traffic and give it priority over other traffic.
9.3 SIP Screens

Phone
The following sections describe how to configure the ZyXEL Device to work with analog phones and how to configure the ZyXEL Device's built in DECT base station to work with DECT phones.
10.1 Analog Phone Overview
You can configure the volume, echo cancellation and VAD settings for each individual phone port on the ZyXEL Device. You can also select which SIP account to use for making outgoing calls.
10.1.1 Voice Activity Detection/Silence Suppression/Comfort Noise
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) detects whether or not speech is present. This lets the ZyXEL Device reduce the bandwidth that a call uses by not transmitting "silent packets" when you are not speaking.
When using VAD, the ZyXEL Device generates comfort noise when the other party is not speaking. The comfort noise lets you know that the line is still connected as total silence could easily be mistaken for a lost connection.
10.1.2 Echo Cancellation
G.168 is an ITU-T standard for eliminating the echo caused by the sound of your voice reverberating in the telephone receiver while you talk.
10.1.3 Supplementary Phone Services Overview
Supplementary services such as call hold, call waiting, call transfer, ... are generally available from your VoIP service provider. The ZyXEL Device supports the following services:
Call Hold
- Call Waiting
Making a Second Call
- Call Transfer
- Call Forwarding
Three-Way Conference
Internal Calls

To take full advantage of the supplementary phone services available though the ZyXEL Device's phone ports, you may need to subscribe to the services from your VoIP service provider.
10.1.3.1 The Flash Key
Flashing means to press the hook for a short period of time (a few hundred milliseconds) before releasing it. On newer telephones, there should be a "flash" key (button) that generates the signal electronically. If the flash key is not available, you can tap (press and immediately release) the hook by hand to achieve the same effect. However, using the flash key is preferred since the timing is much more precise. The ZyXEL Device may interpret manual tapping as hanging up if the duration is too long
You can invoke all the supplementary services by using the flash key.
10.1.3.2 Europe Type Supplementary Phone Services
This section describes how to use supplementary phone services with the Europe Type Call Service Mode. Commands for supplementary services are listed in the table below.

10.3 DECT Base Station Overview
Your ZyXEL Device has a built in Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) base station. DECT is an ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) standard for digital cordless phones which specifies how they transmit, receive and process data and voice communication.

Figure 84 DECT Base Station Overview
The DECT base station follows the Generic Access Profile (GAP). GAP (a subset of DECT) specifies how DECT phones register with a DECT base station. The DECT GAP standard ensures that two different products (a phone and a base station) from different manufacturers can work together. Any phone that supports GAP can make and receive calls through the ZyXEL Device.
10.3.1 DECT Phone Registration
In order to use your DECT phone with the ZyXEL Device, the DECT phone must register with the ZyXEL Device's DECT base station. Follow these steps to register your DECT phone with the ZyXEL Device.
1 Press down the DECT base station button (A) on top of your ZyXEL Device for 6 to 11 seconds to put the ZyXEL Device in registration mode.
Registration mode refers to the state of the ZyXEL Device when it is scanning for DECT phones in its surrounding area. The ZyXEL Device stays in registration mode for 30 seconds.

If you press the DECT base station button for 12 seconds or more, the DECT base station resets and all previously registered DECT phones must be re-registered.

Figure 85 DECT Base Station Button - Top of the ZyXEL Device
2 Put your DECT phone in registration mode. Refer to your DECT phone documentation. When the ZyXEL Device is in registration mode, it scans its surrounding area for DECT phones in registration mode.

Figure 86 DECT Base Station - Phone Registration

Make sure your DECT phone is within range of the ZyXEL Device during the registration process. See Appendix A on page 295 for the range of your ZyXEL Device.
3 Enter the Personal Identification Number (PIN) in the DECT phone. When a ZyXEL Device discovers a DECT phone in registration mode, it sends a request for a PIN. Your DECT phone receives the request and prompts you to enter the PIN. Use your DECT phone's keypad to enter the PIN (you configured on the ZyXEL Device).

The default PIN of the ZyXEL Device is 1234.
4 Repeat steps 1 - 3 to register additional phones. See Appendix A on page 295 for the number of DECT phones your ZyXEL Device supports.
10.3.1.1 DECT Base Station Reset
Resetting the DECT base station erases all the details of the DECT phones registered with the ZyXEL Device. You can do this to clear the DECT base station memory of the DECT phones no longer used with the ZyXEL Device, for example if one of your DECT phones is lost.
When you reset the DECT base station, you will need to re-register all the phones that you want to use with the ZyXEL Device.

Resetting the DECT base station does not reset the PIN you use for registering DECT phones. You must use the last PIN you configured to register or re-register your DECT phones.
Press the DECT base station button (refer to Figure 85 on page 154) for 12 seconds or more to reset the DECT base station.
10.3.2 Using your DECT Phone
You can use your DECT phone to make calls to other DECT phones registered with the ZyXEL Device (A). These calls are referred to as internal calls.
You can also use your DECT phone to make VoIP calls (B). For the PSTN models, you can also make calls via the PSTN line (C). These types of calls are referred to as external calls.

Figure 87 Using Your DECT Phone
The following table summarizes the types and number of calls you can make with your DECT phones via the ZyXEL Device.
Table 69 DECT Phone Calls Summary
| TYPE OF CALL | DESCRIPTION | LIMITS |
| Internal | A call between two DECT phones registered with the ZyXEL Device DECT base station. | Two calls. |
| External | A call from the DECT phone to or from a VoIP or a PSTN caller. | Two calls. |
Table 69 DECT Phone Calls Summary
| TYPE OF CALL | DESCRIPTION | LIMITS |
| 3 Way Conference | A call between two DECT phones registered with the ZyXEL Device base station and an external connection. | One call. |
| The ZyXEL Device allows up to four DECT phones to be active at one time. | ||
The ZyXEL Device does not control how your DECT phone distinguishes between internal and external calls. Typically, a DECT phone has a button labeled int to indicate an internal call. Consult your DECT phone documentation for differences in making internal and external calls.
10.3.2.1 DECT Phones - Internal Calls
To make internal calls, you need to know the phone numbers of the other DECT phones registered with the ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device assigns numbers based on the order that the DECT phones registered with the ZyXEL Device's DECT base station. The first DECT phone that registered with the ZyXEL Device's DECT base station receives the number 1, the second the number 2, and so on up to the last registered DECT phone.
Refer to your DECT phone documentation for specific details regarding your phone's calling functions.
10.3.2.2 DECT Phones - External Calls
To make external calls, follow the same procedure as with the analog phone connected to the ZyXEL Device. You must also:
- Specify the SIP accounts for incoming and outgoing VoIP calls.
- Specify whether the DECT phones should receive calls on the PSTN line. (P-2302HWUDL-P1 model only)
When you assign a specific SIP account to be used with the DECT phone for outgoing or incoming calls, all of the DECT phones registered with the ZyXEL Device use this SIP account for making or receiving calls.
10.3.2.3 DECT Phones - Supplementary Services
There are two ways to perform supplementary phone services like call waiting, conference calling and so on.
- Via the handset - refer to your DECT phone documentation.

11.1.2 Speed Dial Screen
Speed dial provides shortcuts for dialing frequently used (VoIP) phone numbers. You also have to create speed-dial entries if you want to make peer-to-peer calls or call SIP numbers that use letters. Use this screen to add, edit, or remove speed-dial entries. To access this screen, click VoIP > Phone Book > Speed Dial.
In peer-to-peer calls, you call another VoIP device directly without going through a SIP server. In the ZyXEL Device, you must set up a speed dial entry in the phone book in order to do this. Select Non-Proxy (Use IP or URL) in the Type column and enter the callee's IP address or domain name. The ZyXEL Device sends SIP INVITE requests to the peer VoIP device when you use the speed dial entry.
You do not need to configure a SIP account in order to make a peer-to-peer VoIP call.
You can also create speed-dial entries for frequently-used SIP phone numbers.

PSTN Line
This chapter applies to "L" models only. Use this screen to set up the PSTN line used to make regular phone calls. These phone calls do not use the Internet.
12.1 PSTN Line Overview
With the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line, you can make and receive regular phone calls. Use a prefix number to make a regular call. When the ZyXEL Device does not have power, you can make regular calls without dialing a prefix number.
You can also specify phone numbers that should always use the regular phone service (without having to dial a prefix number). Do this for emergency numbers (like those for contacting police, fire or emergency medical services).

When the ZyXEL Device does not have power, only the phone connected to the PHONE 1 port can be used for making calls. Ensure you know which phone this is, so that in case of emergency you can make outgoing calls.

VoIP Trunking
Use these screens to configure VoIP trunking on your ZyXEL Device.
13.1 VoIP Trunking Overview
VoIP trunking connects an IP network (like the Internet) and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). PSTN includes the world's circuit-switched telephone network which is composed of fixed and mobile telephones. VoIP trunking allows you to create VoIP links which PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) callers can use to:
- Make phone calls via the Internet - Make a PSTN call to the ZyXEL Device and it forwards the call to any SIP based VoIP phone.
- Save on long distance calls - The ZyXEL Device creates a VoIP link which can be used to connect to a PSTN phone in another country, province, region and so on.
Similarly, VoIP callers can:
- Make calls to PSTN subscribers at reduced cost - Connect to the ZyXEL Device via VoIP and the ZyXEL Device forwards the call to a PSTN phone.
Creating a link over the IP network requires two VoIP devices. VoIP trunking scenarios vary depending on how the VoIP devices work together and how they receive or forward PSTN calls. The following sections describe the details of VoIP trunking.
13.2 VoIP Trunking and Security
Your ZyXEL Device provides two types of authentication to prevent unauthorized callers from using it for VoIP trunking.
13.2.1 Auto Attendant and Authentication
Auto attendant is the ZyXEL Device's name for a service which controls settings specific to VoIP trunking. Most importantly it controls authentication for VoIP trunking. Auto attendant authentication is similar to using a calling card with a PIN (Personal Identification Number). Your ZyXEL Device can be configured so that it prompts callers to enter a PIN (via the phone pad) in order to process any call forwarding requests.
Other settings controlled by the auto attendant include a time limit to decide whether you want to forward a call from the ZyXEL Device or call the phone directly connected to the ZyXEL Device. When you call into your ZyXEL Device you can request to forward a call to another phone number simply by dialing that number. If you don't dial any number within a specified time limit (for example 5 seconds) then the phone directly connected to the ZyXEL Device rings. It also controls the time limit you have between dialing digits of a phone number.
13.2.2 Peer Call Authentication
VoIP devices can make peer calls to each other by using the IP address instead of a SIP number to establish a call. The advantage of this is that you do not need to pay a VoIP service provider. VoIP devices that connect using an IP address are referred to here as peer devices. A local peer device is where the VoIP call originates and a remote peer device is where the VoIP call ends. In the following figure, local peer device (A) connects to a remote peer device (B) via the IP address of B.

Figure 95 Peer Devices Connecting
A peer-to-peer call doesn't require any authentication, however, authentication is required when you request the remote peer device to forward a call. The remote peer device has a list of accounts, each consisting of a username and password, which are allowed to use the remote peer device to forward calls. These accounts make up an incoming authentication list.
The local peer device has a corresponding list of outgoing authentication accounts. These accounts consist of the IP address of a remote peer device, the port number to communicate over as well as a username and password to use for authentication. An outgoing authentication account must match an incoming authentication account's username and password in order for the remote device to forward calls. The following table shows example entries for incoming and outgoing authentication. The bolded entries must match in order for authentication between two peer devices to occur.
Table 79 Matching Incoming and Outgoing Authentication
| ACCOUNT DETAILS | LOCAL PEER DEVICE | REMOTE PEER DEVICE |
| Outgoing Authentication | ||
| Username | localDeviceA | localDeviceB |
Table 79 Matching Incoming and Outgoing Authentication
| ACCOUNT DETAILS | LOCAL PEER DEVICE | REMOTE PEER DEVICE |
| Password | passwordA | passwordB |
| Incoming Authentication | ||
| Username | userone | localDeviceA |
| Password | userpassword | passwordA |
13.3 Call Rules
Call rules automate the forwarding of calls, first to a remote peer device and then to PSTN phones. This is used when you make frequent calls to several PSTN numbers in the same geographic area that start with the same numbers (for example an area code). If there is a remote peer device in that area, you can set up a VoIP link to it and have it forward the calls to PSTN phones. This works by configuring a pattern that the ZyXEL Device can recognize. A pattern is just the initial string of digits shared by the phone numbers. The following table shows the relationship between the phone numbers you want to call, the pattern you want to configure and the rule you want to set up.
Table 80 Call Rules
| FREQUENTLY CALLED PSTN NUMBERS | PATTERN | CALL RULE |
| 1-555-555-4321 | 1555 | Set up a peer call to a remote peer device to forward calls starting with the numbers 1555. |
| 1-555-544-5678 | ||
| 1-555-432-8888 | ||
| 1-111-555-4321 | 1111 | Set up a peer call to a remote peer device to forward calls starting with the numbers 1111. |
| 1-111-544-5678 | ||
| 1-111-432-8888 |
13.4 VolP Trunking Scenarios
There are several different VoIP trunking scenarios.
13.4.1 VoIP Phone To PSTN Phone
A VoIP phone A makes a call to the ZyXEL Device B via VoIP. B forwards the call to a PSTN phone C. A can be an analog phone connected to the ZyXEL Device or any other phone capable of making calls over the IP network.

Figure 96 VoIP Phone To PSTN Phone
13.4.2 PSTN Phone To VoIP Phone
A PSTN phone A makes a call to the ZyXEL Device B. B connects A to a VoIP phone C over the IP network.

13.8 VoIP Trunking Example: VoIP to PSTN
This example shows how to configure VoIP to PSTN trunking to save on long distance calls.
13.8.1 Background Information
A company has its headquarters in city A and a branch office in city B. The headquarters often needs to call salespeople employed at the branch office. The sales employees often work away from the office and have PSTN phones (mobile or land based). The two offices have VoIP trunking devices and want to use VoIP trunking to save on calls from the headquarters to their sales team. The head office has a public IP address a.b.c.d and the branch office has a public IP address w.x.y.z.

Figure 102 VoIP to PSTN Example
The proposed solution is to establish a peer-to-peer call between the two ZyXEL Devices and have the branch office ZyXEL Device forward calls to the sales team members via PSTN.
13.8.2 Configuration Details: Outgoing
The ZyXEL Device (at headquarters) from which the call originates needs to have the following configuration settings:
1 Speed dial entries need to be set up for the numbers headquarters wants to call. The destination field of these entries is the IP address of the branch office ZyXEL Device. This must be a non-proxy IP address. The numbers are the phone numbers of the sales team members. This can be configured in the VoIP > Phone Book > Speed Dial screen.

Figure 103 VoIP to PSTN Example - Speed Dial Screen
2 An outgoing authentication account needs to be configured. This account consists of the IP address and port number of the branch office ZyXEL Device as well as the username and password for authentication. This username and password must match the incoming authentication account username and password on the branch office ZyXEL Device. The name of this rule is "CityB" referring to the branch office ZyXEL Device. In this example the username is "headquarters" and the password is "password". This can be configured in the VoIP > Trunking > Peer Call screen.

Figure 104 VoIP to PSTN Example - Outgoing Authentication
13.8.3 Configuration Details: Incoming
The branch office ZyXEL Device needs to have an incoming authentication account configured. This consists of a username and password. This account must match the username and password of the outgoing authentication account of the headquarters' ZyXEL Device. This can be configured in the VoIP > Trunking > Peer Call screen.

Figure 105 VoIP to PSTN Example - Incoming Authentication
13.8.4 Call Progression
The advantage of this kind of VoIP trunking is that once all the configuration is completed, the caller just has to dial a speed dial entry from a phone connected to their ZyXEL Device and the peer devices take care of the rest. This is what happens when headquarters wants to call their Sales1 employee, which is the first entry in the speed dial screen.
Table 84 VoIP Trunking Call Progression
| HEADQUARTERS | BRANCH OFFICE | SALES1 |
| A person at A dials #01 from the phone connected to the ZyXEL Device. | ||
| The ZyXEL Device at A inspects the number and connects to the remote peer device at B. | ||
| The remote peer device inspects the number and requests authentication in order to forward the call. | ||
| The ZyXEL Device at A sends outgoing authentication to the remote peer device. | ||
| The remote peer device confirms that the username and password match an account in its incoming authentication list. | ||
| The remote peer device forwards the call to Sales1. | ||
| Sales1 picks up and the call commences. | ||
13.9 VoIP Trunking Example: PSTN to PSTN via VoIP
This example shows how to configure a PSTN to PSTN call with a VoIP link. It also shows how call rules can be used to automate VoIP trunking.
13.9.1 Background Information
A company has its headquarters in two different cities. The sales manager (A) from headquarters often needs to call salespeople (D) employed at the branch office. The sales manager often works away from the headquarters office and the sales employees often work away from the branch office. The sales manager and the sales employees have PSTN phones (mobile or land based). The two offices have VoIP trunking devices. The sales manager wants to use VoIP trunking to save on calls to his sales team. The head office has a ZyXEL Device (B) with a PSTN line (tel: 222-222-2222) connected to it. The branch office has a ZyXEL Device (C) with a public IP address w.x.y.z. The sales employee (D) has a PSTN phone with the number 555-555-4321.

Figure 106 PSTN to PSTN Example
The proposed solution is to configure a call rule which will allow the sales manager to call into the headquarters via PSTN, establish a VoIP link between the two ZyXEL Devices and have the remote peer device forward calls to the sales employees via PSTN.
13.9.2 Configuration Details: Outgoing
The ZyXEL Device (at headquarters) from which the VoIP link originates needs to have the following configuration settings:
1 Auto attendant authentication needs to be enabled for PSTN calls coming into the headquarters' ZyXEL Device. This ensures that no unauthorized callers use VoIP trunking. In this example the PIN (Personal Identification Number) is set to "12345". The settings dealing with dialing interval and a timeout period are left at default. The ZyXEL Device waits 10 seconds (after initial connection between PSTN caller and the ZyXEL Device) for the PSTN caller to initiate VoIP trunking by dialing another number. It waits 3 seconds between dialing digits before it determines that the entire phone number is entered. These settings can be configured in the VoIP > Trunking > General screen.

Figure 107 PSTN to PSTN Example: General Configuration
2 An outgoing authentication account needs to be configured. This account consists of the IP address and port number of the branch office ZyXEL Device as well as the username and password for authentication. This username and password must match the incoming authentication account username and password on the branch office ZyXEL Device. The name of this account is "CityB" referring to the branch office ZyXEL Device. In this example the username is "headquarters" and the password is "password". This can be configured in the VoIP > Trunking > Peer Call screen.

Figure 108 PSTN to PSTN Example - Outgoing Authentication
3 A call rule needs to be created. This rule tells the ZyXEL Device which remote peer device it should connect to in order to complete the call. This rule is composed of a pattern and an account name. This pattern is simply the first several digits of the number you want the remote device to connect to. In this example this is the first 4 digits ("5555") of "Sales1" telephone number. The account name is the name of the outgoing authentication account created in the Speed Dial screen ("CityB"). This setting can be configured in the VoIP > Trunking > Call Rule screen.

Figure 109 PSTN to PSTN Example - Call Rule
13.9.3 Configuration Details: Incoming
The branch office ZyXEL Device needs to have an incoming authentication account configured. This consists of a username and password. This account must match the username and password of the outgoing authentication account of the headquarters' ZyXEL Device. This can be configured in the VoIP > Trunking > Peer Call screen.

Figure 110 PSTN to PSTN Example - Incoming Authentication
13.9.4 Call Progression
The call is initiated by the manager dialing into the headquarter's ZyXEL Device via PSTN. In this scenario a VoIP link is established between headquarters and the branch office and then the call is forwarded to Sales1 using PSTN.
Table 85 PSTN to PSTN: VoIP Trunking Call Progression
| MANAGER | HEADQUARTERS | BRANCH OFFICE | SALES1 |
| The manager dials the PSTN number of the headquarters' ZyXEL Device. (222-222-2222) | |||
| The ZyXEL Device receives the call and sends a ringback alert tone to indicate to the caller that VoIP trunking is enabled. | |||
| The manager dials the PSTN number of Sales1 (555-555-1234). | |||
| The ZyXEL Device prompts the manager to enter the PIN in order to allow VoIP trunking. | |||
| The manager dials the PIN (12345). | |||
| The ZyXEL Device confirms the password and allows for VoIP trunking. The ZyXEL Device inspects the phone number against call rules. Since the number starts with the pattern (5555), it uses the account (CityB) associated with this pattern to connect the call to the remote peer device at the branch office. | |||
| The remote peer device inspects the number and requests authentication in order to forward the call. | |||
| The ZyXEL Device at A sends outgoing authentication to the remote peer device. | |||
| The remote peer device confirms that the username and password match an account in its incoming authentication list. | |||
| The remote peer device forwards the call to Sales1. | |||
| Sales1 picks up and the call commences. | |||

Firewall
Use these screens to enable, configure and disable the firewall that protects your ZyXEL Device and your LAN from unwanted or malicious traffic.
14.1 Firewall Overview
Originally, the term firewall referred to a construction technique designed to prevent the spread of fire from one room to another. The networking term "firewall" is a system or group of systems that enforces an access-control policy between two networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism used to protect a trusted network from an untrusted network. Of course, firewalls cannot solve every security problem. A firewall is one of the mechanisms used to establish a network security perimeter in support of a network security policy. It should never be the only mechanism or method employed. For a firewall to guard effectively, you must design and deploy it appropriately. This requires integrating the firewall into a broad information-security policy. In addition, specific policies must be implemented within the firewall itself.
14.1.1 Stateful Inspection Firewall
Stateful inspection firewalls restrict access by screening data packets against defined access rules. They make access control decisions based on IP address and protocol. They also "inspect" the session data to assure the integrity of the connection and to adapt to dynamic protocols. These firewalls generally provide the best speed and transparency; however, they may lack the granular application level access control or caching that some proxies support. Firewalls, of one type or another, have become an integral part of standard security solutions for enterprises.
14.1.2 About the ZyXEL Device Firewall
The ZyXEL Device firewall is a stateful inspection firewall and is designed to protect against Denial of Service attacks when activated. The ZyXEL Device's purpose is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be securely connected to the Internet. The ZyXEL Device can be used to prevent theft, destruction and modification of data, as well as log events, which may be important to the security of your network.
The ZyXEL Device is installed between the LAN and a broadband modem connecting to the Internet. This allows it to act as a secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the LAN.
The ZyXEL Device has one Ethernet WAN port and four Ethernet LAN ports, which are used to physically separate the network into two areas. The WAN (Wide Area Network) port attaches to the broadband (cable or DSL) modem to the Internet.
The LAN (Local Area Network) port attaches to a network of computers, which needs security from the outside world. These computers will have access to Internet services such as e-mail, FTP and the World Wide Web. However, "inbound access" is not allowed (by default) unless the remote host is authorized to use a specific service.
14.1.3 Guidelines For Enhancing Security With Your Firewall
1 Change the default password via web configurator.
2 Think about access control before you connect to the network in any way, including attaching a modem to the port.
3 Limit who can access your router.
4 Don't enable any local service (such as telnet or FTP) that you don't use. Any enabled service could present a potential security risk. A determined hacker might be able to find creative ways to misuse the enabled services to access the firewall or the network.
5 For local services that are enabled, protect against misuse. Protect by configuring the services to communicate only with specific peers, and protect by configuring rules to block packets for the services at specific interfaces.
6 Protect against IP spoofing by making sure the firewall is active.
7 Keep the firewall in a secured (locked) room.
14.1.4 The Firewall, NAT and Remote Management

Figure 111 Firewall Rule Directions
14.1.4.1 LAN-to-WAN rules
LAN-to-WAN rules are local network to Internet firewall rules. The default is to forward all traffic from your local network to the Internet.
You can block certain LAN-to-WAN traffic in the Services screen (click the Services tab). All services displayed in the Blocked Services list box are LAN-to-WAN firewall rules that block those services originating from the LAN.
Blocked LAN-to-WAN packets are considered alerts. Alerts are "higher priority logs" that include system errors, attacks and attempted access to blocked web sites. Alerts appear in red in the View Log screen. You may choose to have alerts e-mailed immediately in the Log Settings screen.
LAN-to-LAN/ZyXEL Device means the LAN to the ZyXEL Device LAN interface. This is always allowed, as this is how you manage the ZyXEL Device from your local computer.
14.1.4.2 WAN-to-LAN rules
WAN-to-LAN rules are Internet to your local network firewall rules. The default is to block all traffic from the Internet to your local network.
How can you forward certain WAN to LAN traffic? You may allow traffic originating from the WAN to be forwarded to the LAN by:
- Configuring NAT port forwarding rules.
- Configuring WAN or LAN & WAN access for services in the Remote Management screens. When you allow remote management from the WAN, you are actually configuring WAN-to-WAN/ZyXEL Device firewall rules. WAN-to-WAN/ZyXEL Device firewall rules are Internet to the ZyXEL Device WAN interface firewall rules. The default is to block all such traffic. When you decide what WAN-to-LAN packets to log, you are in fact deciding what WAN-to-LAN and WAN-to-WAN/ZyXEL Device packets to log.
Forwarded WAN-to-LAN packets are not considered alerts.
14.2 Triangle Route
When the firewall is on, your ZyXEL Device acts as a secure gateway between your LAN and the Internet. In an ideal network topology, all incoming and outgoing network traffic passes through the ZyXEL Device to protect your LAN against attacks.

Figure 112 Ideal Firewall Setup
14.2.1 The "Triangle Route" Problem
A traffic route is a path for sending or receiving data packets between two Ethernet devices. You may have more than one connection to the Internet (through one or more ISPs). If an alternate gateway is on the LAN (and its IP address is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device's LAN IP address), the "triangle route" (also called asymmetrical route) problem may occur. The steps below describe the "triangle route" problem.
1 A computer on the LAN initiates a connection by sending out a SYN packet to a receiving server on the WAN.
2 The ZyXEL Device reroutes the SYN packet through Gateway A on the LAN to the WAN.
3 The reply from the WAN goes directly to the computer on the LAN without going through the ZyXEL Device.
As a result, the ZyXEL Device resets the connection, as the connection has not been acknowledged.

Figure 113 "Triangle Route" Problem
14.2.2 Solving the "Triangle Route" Problem
If you have the ZyXEL Device allow triangle route sessions, traffic from the WAN can go directly to a LAN computer without passing through the ZyXEL Device and its firewall protection.
Another solution is to use IP alias. IP alias allows you to partition your network into logical sections over the same Ethernet interface. Your ZyXEL Device supports up to three logical LAN interfaces with the ZyXEL Device being the gateway for each logical network.
It's like having multiple LAN networks that actually use the same physical cables and ports. By putting your LAN and Gateway A in different subnets, all returning network traffic must pass through the ZyXEL Device to your LAN. The following steps describe such a scenario.
1 A computer on the LAN initiates a connection by sending a SYN packet to a receiving server on the WAN
2 The ZyXEL Device reroutes the packet to Gateway A, which is in Subnet 2.
3 The reply from the WAN goes to the ZyXEL Device.
4 The ZyXEL Device then sends it to the computer on the LAN in Subnet 1.

Use these screens to configure static routes in the ZyXEL Device.
16.1 Static Route Overview
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the ZyXEL Device has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the ZyXEL Device knows about network N2 in the following figure through remote node Router 1. However, the ZyXEL Device is unable to route a packet to network N3 because it doesn't know that there is a route through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2). The static routes are for you to tell the ZyXEL Device about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

Bandwidth MGMT
Use these screens to manage the amount of traffic the ZyXEL Device routes through each interface.
17.1 Bandwidth Management Overview
Bandwidth management allows you to allocate an interface's outgoing capacity to specific types of traffic. It can also help you make sure that the ZyXEL Device forwards certain types of traffic (especially real-time applications) with minimum delay. With the use of real-time applications such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP) increasing, the requirement for bandwidth allocation is also increasing.
Bandwidth management addresses questions such as:
- Who gets how much access to specific applications?
- What priority level should you give to each type of traffic?
- Which traffic must have guaranteed delivery?
- How much bandwidth should be allotted to guarantee delivery?
Bandwidth management also allows you to configure the allowed output for an interface to match what the network can handle. This helps reduce delays and dropped packets at the next routing device. For example, you can set the WAN interface speed to 1024 kbps (or less) if the broadband device connected to the WAN port has an upstream speed of 1024 kbps.
17.1.1 Bandwidth Classes and Filters
Use bandwidth classes and sub-classes to allocate specific amounts of bandwidth capacity (bandwidth budgets). Configure a bandwidth filter to define a bandwidth class (or sub-class) based on a specific application and/or subnet. Use the Bandwidth Class Setup Screen to set up a bandwidth class's name, bandwidth allotment, and bandwidth filter. You can configure up to one bandwidth filter per bandwidth class. You can also configure bandwidth classes without bandwidth filters. However, it is recommended that you configure sub-classes with filters for any classes that you configure without filters. The ZyXEL Device leaves the bandwidth budget allocated and unused for a class that does not have a filter or sub-classes with filters. View your configured bandwidth classes and sub-classes in the Bandwidth Class Setup Screen.
The total of the configured bandwidth budgets for sub-classes cannot exceed the configured bandwidth budget speed of the parent class.
17.1.2 Proportional Bandwidth Allocation
Bandwidth management allows you to define how much bandwidth each class gets; however, the actual bandwidth allotted to each class decreases or increases in proportion to actual available bandwidth.
17.1.3 Application-based Bandwidth Management
You can create bandwidth classes based on individual applications (like VoIP, Web, FTP, E-mail and Video for example).
17.1.4 Subnet-based Bandwidth Management
You can create bandwidth classes based on subnets. The following figure shows LAN subnets. You could configure one bandwidth class for subnet A and another for subnet B.

Figure 122 Subnet-based Bandwidth Management Example
17.1.5 Application- and Subnet-based Bandwidth Management
You could also create bandwidth classes based on a combination of a subnet and an application. The following example table shows bandwidth allocations for application specific traffic from separate LAN subnets.
Table 92 Application and Subnet-based Bandwidth Management Example
| TRAFFIC TYPE | FROM SUBNET A | FROM SUBNET B |
| VoIP | 64 Kbps | 64 Kbps |
| Web | 64 Kbps | 64 Kbps |
| FTP | 64 Kbps | 64 Kbps |
| 64 Kbps | 64 Kbps | |
| Video | 64 Kbps | 64 Kbps |
17.1.6 Scheduler
The scheduler divides up an interface's bandwidth among the bandwidth classes. The ZyXEL Device has two types of schedulers: fairness-based and priority-based.
With the priority-based scheduler, the ZyXEL Device forwards traffic from bandwidth classes according to the priorities that you assign to the bandwidth classes. The larger a bandwidth class's priority number is, the higher the priority. Assign real-time applications (like those using audio or video) a higher priority number to provide smoother operation.
The ZyXEL Device divides bandwidth equally among bandwidth classes when using the fairness-based scheduler; thus preventing one bandwidth class from using all of the interface's bandwidth.
17.1.7 Maximize Bandwidth Usage
This option allows the ZyXEL Device to divide up any available bandwidth on the interface (including unallocated bandwidth and any allocated bandwidth that a class is not using) among the bandwidth classes that require more bandwidth.
When you enable maximize bandwidth usage, the ZyXEL Device first makes sure that each bandwidth class gets up to its bandwidth allotment. Next, the ZyXEL Device divides up an interface's available bandwidth (bandwidth that is unbudgeted or unused by the classes) depending on how many bandwidth classes require more bandwidth and on their priority levels. When only one class requires more bandwidth, the ZyXEL Device gives extra bandwidth to that class.
When multiple classes require more bandwidth, the ZyXEL Device gives the highest priority classes the available bandwidth first (as much as they require, if there is enough available bandwidth), and then to lower priority classes if there is still bandwidth available. The ZyXEL Device distributes the available bandwidth equally among classes with the same priority level.
17.1.7.1 Reserving Bandwidth for Non-Bandwidth Class Traffic
Do the following three steps to configure the ZyXEL Device to allow bandwidth for traffic that is not defined in a bandwidth filter.
1 Leave some of the interface's bandwidth unbudgeted.
2 Do not enable the interface's Maximize Bandwidth Usage option.
3 Do not enable bandwidth borrowing on the sub-classes (see Section 17.1.8 on page 209).
17.1.7.2 Maximize Bandwidth Usage Example
Here is an example of a ZyXEL Device that has maximize bandwidth usage enabled on an interface. The following table shows each bandwidth class's bandwidth budget. The classes are set up based on subnets. The interface is set to 10240 kbps. Each subnet is allocated 2048 kbps. The unbudgeted 2048 kbps allows traffic not defined in any of the bandwidth filters to go out when you do not select the maximize bandwidth option.
Table 93 Maximize Bandwidth Usage Example
| BANDWIDTH CLASSES AND ALLOTMENTS | |
| Root Class: 10240 kbps | Administration: 2048 kbps |
| Sales: 2048 kbps | |
| Marketing: 2048 kbps | |
| Research: 2048 kbps | |
The ZyXEL Device divides up the unbudgeted 2048 kbps among the classes that require more bandwidth. If the administration department only uses 1024 kbps of the budgeted 2048 kbps, the ZyXEL Device also divides the remaining 1024 kbps among the classes that require more bandwidth. Therefore, the ZyXEL Device divides a total of 3072 kbps of unbudgeted and unused bandwidth among the classes that require more bandwidth.
17.1.7.3 Priority-based Allotment of Unused & Unbudgeted Bandwidth
The following table shows the priorities of the bandwidth classes and the amount of bandwidth that each class gets.
Table 94 Priority-based Allotment of Unused & Unbudgeted Bandwidth Example
| BANDWIDTH CLASSES, PRIORITY AND ALLOTMENTS | |
| Root Class: 10240 kbps | Administration: Priority 4, 1024 kbps |
| Sales: Priority 6, 3584 kbps | |
| Marketing: Priority 6, 3584 kbps | |
| Research: Priority 5, 2048 kbps | |
Suppose that all of the classes except for the administration class need more bandwidth.
- Each class gets up to its budgeted bandwidth. The administration class only uses 1024 kbps of its budgeted 2048 kbps.
- The sales and marketing are first to get extra bandwidth because they have the highest priority (6). If they each require 1536 kbps or more of extra bandwidth, the ZyXEL Device divides the total 3072 kbps total of unbudgeted and unused bandwidth equally between the sales and marketing departments (1536 kbps extra to each for a total of 3584 kbps for each) because they both have the highest priority level.
- Research requires more bandwidth but only gets its budgeted 2048 kbps because all of the unbudgeted and unused bandwidth goes to the higher priority sales and marketing classes.
17.1.7.4 Fairness-based Allotment of Unused & Unbudgeted Bandwidth
The following table shows the amount of bandwidth that each class gets.
Table 95 Fairness-based Allotment of Unused & Unbudgeted Bandwidth Example
| BANDWIDTH CLASSES AND ALLOTMENTS | |
| Root Class: 10240 kbps | Administration: 1024 kbps |
| Sales: 3072 kbps | |
| Marketing: 3072 kbps | |
| Research: 3072 kbps | |
Suppose that all of the classes except for the administration class need more bandwidth.
- Each class gets up to its budgeted bandwidth. The administration class only uses 1024 kbps of its budgeted 2048 kbps.
- The ZyXEL Device divides the total 3072 kbps total of unbudgeted and unused bandwidth equally among the other classes. 1024 kbps extra goes to each so the other classes each get a total of 3072 kbps
17.1.8 Bandwidth Borrowing
Bandwidth borrowing allows a sub-class to borrow unused bandwidth from its parent class, whereas maximize bandwidth usage allows any bandwidth class to borrow any unused or unbudgeted bandwidth on the whole interface.
Enable bandwidth borrowing on a sub-class to allow the sub-class to use the parent class's unused bandwidth. The parent class's unused bandwidth is given to the highest priority subclass first (see Section 17.1.8.1 on page 209).
The total of the bandwidth allotments for sub-classes cannot exceed the bandwidth allotment of the parent class. The ZyXEL Device uses the scheduler to divide the parent class's unused bandwidth among the sub-classes that have bandwidth borrowing enabled.
17.1.8.1 Bandwidth Borrowing Example
Here is an example of bandwidth management with classes configured for bandwidth borrowing. The classes are set up based on departments and individuals within certain departments.
Table 96 Bandwidth Borrowing Example
| BANDWIDTH CLASSES AND BANDWIDTH BORROWING SETTINGS | |
| Root Class: | Administration: Borrowing Enabled |
| Sales: Borrowing Disabled | |
| Marketing: Borrowing Enabled | |
| Research: Borrowing Enabled | |
- The Sales class cannot borrow unused bandwidth from the Root class because the Sales class has bandwidth borrowing disabled.
17.1.8.2 Maximize Bandwidth Usage With Bandwidth Borrowing
If you configure both maximize bandwidth usage (on the interface) and bandwidth borrowing (on individual sub-classes), the ZyXEL Device functions as follows.
1 The ZyXEL Device sends traffic according to each bandwidth class's bandwidth budget.
2 The ZyXEL Device assigns a parent class's unused bandwidth to its sub-classes that have more traffic than their budgets and have bandwidth borrowing enabled. The ZyXEL Device gives priority to sub-classes of higher priority and treats classes of the same priority equally.
3 The ZyXEL Device assigns any remaining unused or unbudgeted bandwidth on the interface to any class that requires it. The ZyXEL Device gives priority to classes of higher priority and treats classes of the same level equally.
4 If the bandwidth requirements of all of the traffic classes are met and there is still some unbudgeted bandwidth, the ZyXEL Device assigns it to traffic that does not match any of the classes.
17.1.9 Over Allotment of Bandwidth
You can set the bandwidth management speed for an interface higher than the interface's actual transmission speed. Higher priority traffic gets to use up to its allocated bandwidth, even if it takes up all of the interface's available bandwidth. This could stop lower priority traffic from being sent. The following is an example.
Table 97 Over Allotment of Bandwidth Example
| BANDWIDTH CLASSES, ALLOTMENTS | PRIORITY | |
| Actual outgoing bandwidth available on the interface: 1000 kbps | ||
| Root Class: 1500 kbps (same as Speed setting) | VoIP traffic (Service = SIP): 500 Kbps | High |
| NetMeeting traffic (Service = H.323): 500 kbps | High | |
| FTP (Service = FTP): 500 Kbps | Medium | |
If you use VoIP and NetMeeting at the same time, the device allocates up to 500 Kbps of bandwidth to each of them before it allocates any bandwidth to FTP. As a result, FTP can only use bandwidth when VoIP and NetMeeting do not use all of their allocated bandwidth.
Suppose you try to browse the web too. In this case, VoIP, NetMeeting and FTP all have higher priority, so they get to use the bandwidth first. You can only browse the web when VoIP, NetMeeting, and FTP do not use all 1000 Kbps of available bandwidth.
17.2 Bandwidth Management Screens

Remote MGMT
Use these screens to control which computers can use which services to access the ZyXEL Device on each interface.
18.1 Remote Management Overview
Remote management allows you to determine which services/protocols can access which ZyXEL Device interface (if any) from which computers.
You may manage your ZyXEL Device from a remote location via:
- Internet (WAN only)
ALL (LAN and WAN)
LAN only - Neither (Disable).
To disable remote management of a service, select Disable in the corresponding Server Access field.
You may only have one remote management session running at a time. The ZyXEL Device automatically disconnects a remote management session of lower priority when another remote management session of higher priority starts. The priorities for the different types of remote management sessions are as follows.
1 Telnet
2 HTTP
18.1.1 Remote Management Limitations
Remote management over LAN or WAN will not work when:
1 You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.
2 The IP address in the Secured Client IP field does not match the client IP address. If it does not match, the ZyXEL Device will disconnect the session immediately.
3 There is already another remote management session with an equal or higher priority running. You may only have one remote management session running at one time.
4 There is a firewall rule that blocks it.
18.1.2 Remote Management and NAT
When NAT is enabled:
- Use the ZyXEL Device's WAN IP address when configuring from the WAN.
- Use the ZyXEL Device's LAN IP address when configuring from the LAN.
18.1.3 System Timeout
There is a default system management idle timeout of five minutes (three hundred seconds). The ZyXEL Device automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for longer than this timeout period. The management session does not time out when a statistics screen is polling. You can change the timeout period in the SYSTEM General screen.

18.3 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your ZyXEL Device supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the ZyXEL Device through the network. The ZyXEL Device supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.

SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.

Figure 130 SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the ZyXEL Device). An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed devices.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:
- Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
- GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
- Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
- Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
18.3.1 Supported MIBs
The ZyXEL Device supports MIB II that is defined in RFC-1213 and RFC-1215. The focus of the MIBs is to let administrators collect statistical data and monitor status and performance.
18.3.2 SNMP Traps
The ZyXEL Device will send traps to the SNMP manager when any one of the following events occurs:
Table 105 SNMP Traps
| TRAP # | TRAP NAME | DESCRIPTION |
| 0 | coldStart (defined in RFC-1215) | A trap is sent after booting (power on). |
| 1 | warmStart (defined in RFC-1215) | A trap is sent after booting (software reboot). |
| 4 | authenticationFailure (defined in RFC-1215) | A trap is sent to the manager when receiving any SNMP get or set requirements with the wrong community (password). |
| 6 | whyReboot (defined in ZYXEL-MIB) | A trap is sent with the reason of restart before rebooting when the system is going to restart (warm start). |
| 6a | For intentional reboot: | A trap is sent with the message "System reboot by user!" if reboot is done intentionally, (for example, download new files, Cl command "sys reboot", etc.). |
| 6b | For fatal error: | A trap is sent with the message of the fatal code if the system reboots because of fatal errors. |

Use this screen to set up UPnP.
19.1 Introducing Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.
19.1.1 How do I know if I'm using UPnP?
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows XP). Each UPnP compatible device installed on your network will appear as a separate icon. Selecting the icon of a UPnP device will allow you to access the information and properties of that device.
19.1.2 NAT Traversal
UPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT. UPnP network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their presence in the network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions. NAT traversal allows the following:
- Dynamic port mapping
- Learning public IP addresses
- Assigning lease times to mappings
Windows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP.
See Chapter 8 on page 123 for further information about NAT.
19.1.3 Cautions with UPnP
The automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services and opening firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also be obtained and modified by users in some network environments.
When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For security reasons, the ZyXEL Device allows multicast messages on the LAN only.
All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.
19.1.4 UPnP and ZyXEL
ZyXEL has achieved UPnP certification from the Universal Plug and Play Forum UPnP™ Implementors Corp. (UIC). ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports Internet Gateway Device (IGD) 1.0.
See the following sections for examples of installing and using UPnP.

Sharing a USB Printer
This chapter describes how you can share a USB printer via your ZyXEL Device.
20.1 Overview
The ZyXEL Device allows you to share a USB printer on your LAN. You can do this by connecting a USB printer to one of the USB ports on the ZyXEL Device and then configuring a TCP/IP port on the computers connected to your network.

Figure 149 Sharing a USB Printer
The computers on your network must have the printer software already installed before they can create a TCP/IP port for printing via the network. Follow your printer manufacturers instructions on how to install the printer software on your computer. See Section 20.5 on page 243 for an example of adding a printer.
20.2 Requirements
To configure the print server you need the following:
-
Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Macintosh OS X.
-
Your operating system must support TCP/IP ports for printing and be compatible with the Line Printer Remote (LPR) protocol.
- A USB printer with the driver already installed on your computer.
20.3 Configure a TCP/IP Printer Port
This example shows screens from a Windows 2000 Professional operating system. Some menu items may look different on your system. The TCP/IP port must be configured with the IP address of the ZyXEL Device and must use the LPR (Line Printer Remote) protocol to communicate with the printer. Consult your operating systems documentation for instructions on how to do this or follow the instructions below if you have a Windows 2000/XP operating system.
1 Click Start, Settings, then right click on Printers and select Open.

Use these screens to set up file sharing through your ZyXEL Device.
21.1 File Sharing Implementation Overview
Your ZyXEL Device allows you to connect USB 2.0 (or lower) file storage devices so that they can be accessed by users connected to your network. A file storage device can be a USB memory stick or a hard drive with a USB connector. The following figure is an overview of the ZyXEL Device's file server feature.

File Allocation Table (FAT) and FAT32 file systems are the only file systems compatible with the file sharing feature.

Figure 178 File Sharing Overview
Do the following to set up file sharing via your ZyXEL Device:

Before connecting a USB hard drive that comes with an external power supply, make sure it is connected to an appropriate power source that is on.
1 Connect a USB memory stick (or a USB hard drive) to one of the ZyXEL Device's USB ports.
2 The ZyXEL Device detects the USB device and makes its contents available for browsing. If your USB device cannot be detected by ZyXEL Device, see the troubleshooting suggestions for The ZyXEL Device fails to detect my USB device. If you connect more than one device (or your hard drive has more than one partition), each device (or partition) is given its own folder. These folders are called "shares".
3 Configure a user account. Anyone who wants to access your shared files must enter a user name and password. See Section 21.3 on page 253 for more information.
21.2 Sharing Files via the ZyXEL Device
The ZyXEL Device uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions. CIFS protocol is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to your systems specifications for CIFS compatibility). CIFS compatible computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the ZyXEL Device.
21.2.1 Using the Workgroup Name to Share Files
In order to use this method to share files you need to add the ZyXEL Device to the workgroup on the network to which your computer belongs. In a typical home network this workgroup name is "Workgroup".

The ZyXEL Device will not be accessible via the workgroup name if your local area network has restrictions set up that do not allow devices to join a workgroup. In this case, contact your network administrator.
21.2.1.1 Checking your Workgroup Name
You can check the name of the workgroup to which your computer belongs by viewing the Network Identification information of your Windows 2000 computer. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System. Select the Network Identification tab and note the workgroup name of your computer. This is the value you have to enter in the Workgroup Name field in the File Sharing screen.

Figure 179 Check the Workgroup Name
21.3 User Accounts
The ZyXEL Device requires that a user enter a user name and password in order to access files on the USB storage device. When you browse to the ZyXEL Device you are prompted for a user name and password before you can access files on the USB storage device.

22.2 Dynamic DNS Overview
Use this screen to set up the ZyXEL Device as a dynamic DNS client.
22.2.1 DNS Server Address Assignment
Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.
The ZyXEL Device can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
1 The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in the SYSTEM General screen.
2 If the ISP did not give you DNS server information, leave the DNS Server fields in the SYSTEM General screen set to 0.0.0.0 for the ISP to dynamically assign the DNS server IP addresses.
22.2.2 Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.). You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a domain name (for instance myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) that will never change instead of using an IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will always be able to call you even if they don't know your IP address.
First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is for people with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a domain name. The Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key.
Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use, for example, www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.

If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use Dynamic DNS.

22.3 Time Setting Overview
Use this screen to set the date, time, and time zone in the ZyXEL Device.
22.3.1 Pre-defined NTP Time Servers List
The ZyXEL Device uses the following pre-defined list of NTP time servers if you do not specify a time server or it cannot synchronize with the time server you specified.

The ZyXEL Device can use this pre-defined list of time servers regardless of the Time Protocol you select.
When the ZyXEL Device uses the pre-defined list of NTP time servers, it randomly selects one server and tries to synchronize with it. If the synchronization fails, then the ZyXEL Device goes through the rest of the list in order from the first one tried until either it is successful or all the pre-defined NTP time servers have been tried.

An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. Some categories such as System Errors consist of both logs and alerts.
23.1.2 Syslog Logs
There are two types of syslog: event logs and traffic logs. The device generates an event log when a system event occurs, for example, when a user logs in or the device is under attack. The device generates a traffic log when a "session" is terminated. A traffic log summarizes the session's type, when it started and stopped the amount of traffic that was sent and received and so on. An external log analyzer can reconstruct and analyze the traffic flowing through the device after collecting the traffic logs.

ZyXEL Device Access and Login - Internet Access
Phone Calls and VoIP - Problems With USB Device Connection
25.1 Power, Hardware Connections, and LEDs

The ZyXEL Device does not turn on. None of the LEDs turn on.
1 Make sure you are using the power adaptor or cord included with the ZyXEL Device.
2 Make sure the power adaptor or cord is connected to the ZyXEL Device and plugged in to an appropriate power source. Make sure the power source is turned on.
3 Turn the ZyXEL Device off and on.
4 Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor or cord to the ZyXEL Device.
5 If the problem continues, contact the vendor.

One of the LEDs does not behave as expected.
1 Make sure you understand the normal behavior of the LED. See Section 1.4 on page 36.
2 Check the hardware connections. See the Quick Start Guide.
3 Inspect your cables for damage. Contact the vendor to replace any damaged cables.
4 Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor to the ZyXEL Device.
5 If the problem continues, contact the vendor.
25.2 ZyXEL Device Access and Login

I forgot the IP address for the ZyXEL Device.
1 The default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
2 If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, you might get the IP address of the ZyXEL Device by looking up the IP address of the default gateway for your computer. To do this in most Windows computers, click Start > Run, enter cmd, and then enter ipconfig. The IP address of the Default Gateway might be the IP address of the ZyXEL Device (it depends on the network), so enter this IP address in your Internet browser.
3 If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 2.3 on page 41.

I forgot the password.
1 The default password is 1234.
2 If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 2.3 on page 41.

I cannot see or access the Login screen in the web configurator.
1 Make sure you are using the correct IP address.
- The default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
- If you changed the IP address, use the new IP address.
- If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, see the troubleshooting suggestions for I forgot the IP address for the ZyXEL Device.
2 Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide and Section 1.4 on page 36.
3 Make sure your Internet browser does not block pop-up windows and has JavaScript and Java enabled. See Appendix B on page 301.
4 If you disabled Any IP (Section 7.1.7 on page 114), make sure your computer is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device. (If you know that there are routers between your computer and the ZyXEL Device, skip this step.)
- If there is a DHCP server on your network, make sure your computer is using a dynamic IP address. See Appendix D on page 315. Your ZyXEL Device is a DHCP server by default.
- If there is no DHCP server on your network, make sure your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device. See Appendix D on page 315.
5 Reset the device to its factory defaults, and try to access the ZyXEL Device with the default IP address. See Section 2.3 on page 41.
6 If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced suggestions.
Advanced Suggestions
- If your computer is connected to the WAN port or is connected wirelessly, use a computer that is connected to a LAN/ETHERNET port.

I can see the Login screen, but I cannot log in to the ZyXEL Device.
1 Make sure you have entered the user name and password correctly. The default user name is admin, and the default password is 1234. These fields are case-sensitive, so make sure [Caps Lock] is not on.
2 Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor or cord to the ZyXEL Device.
3 If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 2.3 on page 41.
25.3 Internet Access

I cannot access the Internet.
1 Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide and Section 1.4 on page 36.
2 Make sure you entered your ISP account information correctly in the wizard. These fields are case-sensitive, so make sure [Caps Lock] is not on.
3 If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure the wireless settings in the wireless client are the same as the settings in the AP.
4 Disconnect all the cables from your device, and follow the directions in the Quick Start Guide again.
5 If the problem continues, contact your ISP.

I cannot access the Internet anymore. I had access to the Internet (with the ZyXEL Device), but my Internet connection is not available anymore.
1 Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide and Section 1.4 on page 36.
2 Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor to the ZyXEL Device.
3 Turn the ZyXEL Device off and on.
4 If the problem continues, contact your ISP.

The Internet connection is slow or intermittent.
1 There might be a lot of traffic on the network. Try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications.
2 Check the signal strength. If the signal strength is low, try moving the ZyXEL Device closer to the AP if possible, and look around to see if there are any devices that might be interfering with the wireless network (for example, microwaves, other wireless networks, and so on).
3 Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor to the ZyXEL Device.
4 If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced suggestions.
Advanced Suggestions
- Check the settings for bandwidth management. If it is disabled, you might consider activating it. If it is enabled, you might consider changing the allocations.
- Check the settings for QoS. If it is disabled, you might consider activating it. If it is enabled, you might consider raising or lowering the priority for some applications.
25.4 Phone Calls and VoIP

I cannot make telephone calls using the telephone that is connected to the ZyXEL Device.

IP Addresses and Subnetting
This appendix introduces IP addresses and subnet masks.
IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network. These networking devices are also known as hosts.
Subnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a network. You can also use subnet masks to divide one network into multiple sub-networks.
Introduction to IP Addresses
One part of the IP address is the network number, and the other part is the host ID. In the same way that houses on a street share a common street name, the hosts on a network share a common network number. Similarly, as each house has its own house number, each host on the network has its own unique identifying number - the host ID. Routers use the network number to send packets to the correct network, while the host ID determines to which host on the network the packets are delivered.
Structure
An IP address is made up of four parts, written in dotted decimal notation (for example, 192.168.1.1). Each of these four parts is known as an octet. An octet is an eight-digit binary number (for example 11000000, which is 192 in decimal notation).
Therefore, each octet has a possible range of 00000000 to 11111111 in binary, or 0 to 255 in decimal.
The following figure shows an example IP address in which the first three octets (192.168.1) are the network number, and the fourth octet (16) is the host ID.

Figure 211 Network Number and Host ID
How much of the IP address is the network number and how much is the host ID varies according to the subnet mask.
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). The term "subset" is short for "subnetwork".
A subnet mask has 32 bits. If a bit in the subnet mask is a "1" then the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the network number. If a bit in the subnet mask is "0" then the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the host ID.
The following example shows a subnet mask identifying the network number (in bold text) and host ID of an IP address (192.168.1.2 in decimal).
Table 140
| 1ST OCTET: (192) | 2ND OCTET: (168) | 3RD OCTET: (1) | 4TH OCTET (2) | |
| IP Address (Binary) | 11000000 | 10101000 | 00000001 | 00000010 |
| Subnet Mask (Binary) | 11111111 | 11111111 | 11111111 | 00000000 |
| Network Number | 11000000 | 10101000 | 00000001 | |
| Host ID | 00000010 |
By convention, subnet masks always consist of a continuous sequence of ones beginning from the leftmost bit of the mask, followed by a continuous sequence of zeros, for a total number of 32 bits.
Subnet masks can be referred to by the size of the network number part (the bits with a "1" value). For example, an "8-bit mask" means that the first 8 bits of the mask are ones and the remaining 24 bits are zeroes.
Subnet masks are expressed in dotted decimal notation just like IP addresses. The following examples show the binary and decimal notation for 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 29-bit subnet masks.
Table 141 Subnet Masks
| BINARY | DECIMAL | ||||
| 1ST OCTET | 2ND OCTET | 3RD OCTET | 4TH OCTET | ||
| 8-bit mask | 11111111 | 00000000 | 00000000 | 00000000 | 255.0.0.0 |
| 16-bit mask | 11111111 | 11111111 | 00000000 | 00000000 | 255.255.0.0 |
| 24-bit mask | 11111111 | 11111111 | 11111111 | 00000000 | 255.255.255.0 |
| 29-bit mask | 11111111 | 11111111 | 11111111 | 11111000 | 255.255.255.248 |
Network Size
The size of the network number determines the maximum number of possible hosts you can have on your network. The larger the number of network number bits, the smaller the number of remaining host ID bits.
An IP address with host IDs of all zeros is the IP address of the network (192.168.1.0 with a 24-bit subnet mask, for example). An IP address with host IDs of all ones is the broadcast address for that network (192.168.1.255 with a 24-bit subnet mask, for example).
As these two IP addresses cannot be used for individual hosts, calculate the maximum number of possible hosts in a network as follows:
Table 142 Maximum Host Numbers
| SUBNET MASK | HOST ID SIZE | MAXIMUM NUMBER OF HOSTS | ||
| 8 bits | 255.0.0.0 | 24 bits | \( 2^{24} - 2 \) | 16777214 |
| 16 bits | 255.255.0.0 | 16 bits | \( 2^{16} - 2 \) | 65534 |
| 24 bits | 255.255.255.0 | 8 bits | \( 2^8 - 2 \) | 254 |
| 29 bits | 255.255.255.248 | 3 bits | \( 2^3 - 2 \) | 6 |
Notation
Since the mask is always a continuous number of ones beginning from the left, followed by a continuous number of zeros for the remainder of the 32 bit mask, you can simply specify the number of ones instead of writing the value of each octet. This is usually specified by writing a “/” followed by the number of bits in the mask after the address.
For example, 192.1.1.0 /25 is equivalent to saying 192.1.1.0 with subnet mask 255.255.255.128.
The following table shows some possible subnet masks using both notations.
Table 143 Alternative Subnet Mask Notation
| SUBNET MASK | ALTERNATIVE NOTATION | LAST OCTET (BINARY) | LAST OCTET (DECIMAL) |
| 255.255.255.0 | /24 | 0000 0000 | 0 |
| 255.255.255.128 | /25 | 1000 0000 | 128 |

| 255.255.255.252 | /30 | 1111 1100 | 252 |
Subnetting
You can use subnetting to divide one network into multiple sub-networks. In the following example a network administrator creates two sub-networks to isolate a group of servers from the rest of the company network for security reasons.
In this example, the company network address is 192.168.1.0. The first three octets of the address (192.168.1) are the network number, and the remaining octet is the host ID, allowing a maximum of 2^8 - 2 or 254 possible hosts.
The following figure shows the company network before submitting.

Figure 212 Subnetting Example: Before Subnetting
You can "borrow" one of the host ID bits to divide the network 192.168.1.0 into two separate sub-networks. The subnet mask is now 25 bits (255.255.255.128 or /25).
The "borrowed" host ID bit can have a value of either 0 or 1, allowing two subnets; 192.168.1.0 /25 and 192.168.1.128 /25.
The following figure shows the company network after subnetting. There are now two subnetworks, A and B.

Figure 213 Subnetting Example: After Subnetting
In a 25-bit subnet the host ID has 7 bits, so each sub-network has a maximum of 2^7 - 2 or 126 possible hosts (a host ID of all zeroes is the subnet's address itself, all ones is the subnet's broadcast address).
192.168.1.0 with mask 255.255.255.128 is subnet A itself, and 192.168.1.127 with mask 255.255.255.128 is its broadcast address. Therefore, the lowest IP address that can be assigned to an actual host for subnet A is 192.168.1.1 and the highest is 192.168.1.126.
Similarly, the host ID range for subnet B is 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.254.
Example: Four Subnets
The previous example illustrated using a 25-bit subnet mask to divide a 24-bit address into two subnets. Similarly, to divide a 24-bit address into four subnets, you need to "borrow" two host ID bits to give four possible combinations (00, 01, 10 and 11). The subnet mask is 26 bits (11111111.11111111.11111111.1000000) or 255.255.255.192.
Each subnet contains 6 host ID bits, giving 2^6 - 2 or 62 hosts for each subnet (a host ID of all zeroes is the subnet itself, all ones is the subnet's broadcast address).

Configuring IP Addresses
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise. You must also enable Network Address Translation (NAT) on the ZyXEL Device.
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address for your ZyXEL Device that is easy to remember (for instance, 192.168.1.1) but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your ZyXEL Device will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don't need to change the subnet mask computed by the ZyXEL Device unless you are instructed to do otherwise.
Private IP Addresses
Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from the Internet (running only between two branch offices, for example) you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks:
10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 — 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0—192.168.255.255
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP, or it can be assigned from a private network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.
Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address; always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address assignment, please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.
Setting up Your Computer's IP Address
All computers must have a 10M or 100M Ethernet adapter card and TCP/IP installed.
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems and all versions of UNIX/LINUX include the software components you need to install and use TCP/IP on your computer. Windows 3.1 requires the purchase of a third-party TCP/IP application package.
TCP/IP should already be installed on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems.
After the appropriate TCP/IP components are installed, configure the TCP/IP settings in order to "communicate" with your network.

Using Configuration Files
Follow the steps below to edit the network configuration files and set your computer IP address.
1 Assuming that you have only one network card on the computer, locate the ifconfig-eth0 configuration file (where eth0 is the name of the Ethernet card). Open the configuration file with any plain text editor.
- If you have a dynamic IP address, enter dhcpp in the BOOTPROTO= field. The following figure shows an example.
Figure 230 Red Hat 9.0: Dynamic IP Address Setting in ifconfig-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
- If you have a static IP address, enter static in the BOOT proto = field. Type IPADDR = followed by the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) and type NETMASK = followed by the subnet mask. The following example shows an example where the static IP address is 192.168.1.10 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
2 If you know your DNS server IP address(es), enter the DNS server information in the resolv.conf file in the /etc directory. The following figure shows an example where two DNS server IP addresses are specified.
Figure 232 Red Hat 9.0: DNS Settings in resolv.conf
nameserver 172.23.5.1
nameserver 172.23.5.2
3 After you edit and save the configuration files, you must restart the network card. Enter./network restart in the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory. The following figure shows an example.

SIP Passthrough
Enabling/Disabling the SIP ALG
You can turn off the ZyXEL Device SIP ALG to avoid retranslating the IP address of an existing SIP device that is using STUN. If you want to use STUN with a SIP client device (a SIP phone or IP phone for example) behind the ZyXEL Device, use the ip alg disable ALG_SIP command to turn off the SIP ALG.
Signaling Session Timeout
Most SIP clients have an "expire" mechanism indicating the lifetime of signaling sessions. The SIP UA sends registration packets to the SIP server periodically and keeps the session alive in the ZyXEL Device.
If the SIP client does not have this mechanism and makes no call during the ZyXEL Device SIP timeout default (60 minutes), the ZyXEL Device SIP ALG drops any incoming calls after the timeout period. You can use the ip alg siptimeout command to change the timeout value.
Audio Session Timeout
If no voice packets go through the SIP ALG before the timeout period default (5 minutes) expires, the SIP ALG does not drop the call but blocks all voice traffic and deletes the audio session. You cannot hear anything and you will need to make a new call to continue your conversation.
Internal SPTGEN
This appendix introduces Internal SPTGEN. All menus shown in this appendix are example menus meant to show SPTGEN usage. Actual menus for your product may differ.
Internal SPTGEN Overview
Internal SPTGEN (System Parameter Table Generator) is a configuration text file useful for efficient configuration of multiple ZyXEL Devices. Internal SPTGEN lets you configure, save and upload multiple menus at the same time using just one configuration text file - eliminating the need to navigate and configure individual screens for each ZyXEL Device. You can use FTP to get the Internal SPTGEN file. Then edit the file in a text editor and use FTP to upload it again to the same device or another one. See the following sections for details.
The Configuration Text File Format
All Internal SPTGEN text files conform to the following format:
<field identification number = field name = parameter values allowed = input>,
where (<\mathrm{input}>) is your input conforming to (<\mathrm{parameter}> values allowed>.
The figure shown next is an example of an Internal SPTGEN text file.
Figure 235 Configuration Text File Format: Column Descriptions
/Menu1General Setup
10000000 = Configured <0 (No) | 1 (Yes)> = 1
10000001 = System Name
10000002 = Location
10000005 = Route IPX <0 (No) | 1 (Yes)> = 0
10000006 = Bridge

DO NOT alter or delete any field except parameters in the Input column.
This appendix introduces Internal SPTGEN. All menus shown in this appendix are example menus meant to show SPTGEN usage. Actual menus for your product may differ.
Internal SPTGEN File Modification - Important Points to Remember
Each parameter you enter must be preceded by one “=” sign and one space.
Some parameters are dependent on others. For example, if you disable the Configured field in menu 1 (see Figure 235 on page 331), then you disable every field in this menu.
If you enter a parameter that is invalid in the Input column, the ZyXEL Device will not save the configuration and the command line will display the Field Identification Number. Figure 236 on page 332, shown next, is an example of what the ZyXEL Device displays if you enter a value other than "0" or "1" in the Input column of Field Identification Number 1000000 (refer to Figure 235 on page 331).

Internal SPTGEN FTP Download Example
1 Launch your FTP application.
2 Enter "bin". The command "bin" sets the transfer mode to binary.
3 Get "rom-t" file. The command "get" transfers files from the ZyXEL Device to your computer. The name "rom-t" is the configuration filename on the ZyXEL Device.
4 Edit the "rom-t" file using a text editor (do not use a word processor). You must leave this FTP screen to edit.

Services
The following table lists some commonly-used services and their associated protocols and port numbers.
- Name: This is a short, descriptive name for the service. You can use this one or create a different one, if you like.
- Protocol: This is the type of IP protocol used by the service. If this is TCP/UDP, then the service uses the same port number with TCP and UDP. If this is User-Defined, the Port(s) is the IP protocol number, not the port number.
-
Port(s): This value depends on the Protocol.
-
If the Protocol is TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP, this is the IP port number.
-
If the Protocol is User-Defined, this is the IP protocol number.
-
Description: This is a brief explanation of the applications that use this service or the situations in which this service is used.
