Printed Quick Start Guide

2 Rack-mounted Installation

Mount the ZyWALL in a 19-inch rack or place it on a sturdy, flat surface.

Note: Leave 10 cm of clearance at the sides and 20 cm in the rear.

1 Align one bracket with the holes on one side of the ZyWALL and secure it with the included bracket screws. Similarly, attach the other bracket.

2 After attaching both mounting brackets, position the ZyWALL in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the ZyWALL to the rack with the rack-mounting screws.

3 Connecting the Hardware

Make sure that the power switch on the rear panel is turned off before you make the hardware connections.

1 It is recommended that you configure the ZyWALL before using it to protect your network. Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to port 1.
2 Use another Ethernet cable(s) to connect port 2 and/or port 3 to an Ethernet jack with Internet access.

3 Use the included power cord to connect the power socket on the rear panel to a power outlet.
4 Push the power switch to the on position and look at the front panel. The PWR light turns on. The SYS light blinks during system testing and initialization and then stays on when the system is ready.

4 Web Login

1 Launch your web browser and go to http://192.168.1.1 (the ZyWALL automatically redirects you to https:// 192.168.1.1).

2 Click Yes to proceed if you get a security alert or certificate screen.

3 Enter admin as the user name and 1234 as the password. Click Login.

4 It is strongly recommended that you change the password. Type and retype a new password, and click Apply.

opens. Click the

Wizard icon in the

upper right corner.

7 Troubleshooting

Problem	Corrective Action
None of the LEDs turn on.	Make sure that you have the power cord connected to the ZyWALL and plugged in to an appropriate power source. Make sure you have the ZyWALL turned on. Check all cable connections.
	If the LEDs still do not turn on, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact your local vendor.
Cannot access the ZyWALL from the LAN.	Check the cable connection between the ZyWALL and your computer or switch. Refer to section 3 for details.
	Ping the ZyWALL from a LAN computer. Make sure your computer's Ethernet card is installed and functioning properly. Also make sure that its IP address is in the same subnet as the ZyWALL's.In the computer, click Start, (All) Programs, Accessories and then Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt window, type "ping" followed by the ZyWALL's LAN IP address (192.168.1.1 is the default) and then press [ENTER]. The ZyWALL should reply.
	If you've forgotten the ZyWALL's password, use the RESET button. Press the button in for about 5 seconds (or until the PWR LED starts to blink), then release it. It returns the ZyWALL to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1 etc.; see your User's Guide for details).
	If you've forgotten the ZyWALL's IP address, you can use the commands through the console port to check it. Connect your computer to the CONSOLE port using a console cable. Your computer should have a terminal emulation communications program (such as HyperTerminal) set to VT100 terminal emulation, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control and 115200 bps port speed.
Cannot access the Internet.	Check the ZyWALL's connection to the Ethernet jack with Internet access. Make sure the Internet gateway device (such as a DSL modem) is working properly.
	Check ge2's status in the Status screen. Use the installation setup wizard again and make sure that you enter the correct settings.
