The embedded Web-based Configurator enables straightforward management and maintenance. Just
insert the SIM card (with an active data plan) and make the hardware connections. See the Quick Start
Guide for how to do the hardware installation, wall/pole mounting, and Internet setup.
1.2 Application for the Zyxel Device
Wireless WAN
TheZyxel Device can connect to the Internet through a 2G/3G/4G LTE SIM card to access a wireless
WAN connection. Just insert a SIM card into the SIM card slot at the bottom of the Zyxel Device.
Note: You must insert the SIM card into the card slot before turning on the Zyxel Device.
You can install two external antennas to improve your wireless WAN signal strength. See Table 1 on page
13 for the feature differences.
Wireless LAN (WiFi)
Wireless clients can connect to the LTE Device to access network resources and the Internet. Your LTE
Device supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with
strong security.
Internet Access
Your Zyxel Device provides shared Internet access by connecting to an LTE network. A computer can
connect to the Zyxel Device’s PoE injector or a LAN port for configuration via the Web Configurator. See
Table 1 on page 13 for the feature differences.

Figure 1 Zyxel Device’s Internet Access Application
Carrier Aggregation (LTE7480-M804 & LTE7490-M904)
Carrier Aggregation (CA) is a technology to deliver high downlink data rates by combining more than
one carrier in the same or different bands together.
Figure 2 Zyxel Device’s CA Application
Ethernet WAN (LTE3301-PLUS)
If you have another broadband modem or router available, you can use the Ethernet WAN port and
then connect it to the broadband modem or router. This way, you can access the Internet via an
Ethernet connection and still use the Firewall function on the Zyxel Device.
Note: Convert LAN port number four as a WAN port first. See Section 5.3 on page 54 for more
information about the Network Setting > Broadband > Ethernet WAN screen.

1.3 Manage the Zyxel Device
Use the Web Configurator for management of the Zyxel Device using a (supported) web browser.
1.4 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). Refer to Section 28.2 on page
196. Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the Zyxel Device becomes unstable or

6.1 Overview
This chapter describes the Zyxel Device’s Network Setting > Wireless screens. Use these screens to set up
your Zyxel Device’s WiFi network and security settings.
6.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
This section describes the Zyxel Device’s Wireless screens. Use these screens to set up your Zyxel Device’s
WiFi connection.
• Use the General screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the WiFi security mode
(Section 6.2 on page 63).
• Use the MAC Authentication screen to allow or deny wireless clients based on their MAC addresses
from connecting to the Zyxel Device (Section 6.3 on page 66).
• Use the WPS screen to enable or disable WPS, view or generate a security PIN (Personal Identification
Number) (Section 6.4 on page 68).
• Use the WMM screen to enable WiFi MultiMedia (WMM) to ensure quality of service in WiFi networks for
multimedia applications (Section 6.5 on page 70).
• Use the Others screen to configure WiFi advanced features, such as the RTS/CTS Threshold (Section 6.6
on page 71).
• Use the WLAN Scheduler screen to create rules to schedule the times to permit Internet traffic from
each wireless network interfaces (Section 6.7 on page 73).
6.1.2 What You Need to Know
Wireless Basics
“Wireless” is essentially radio communication. In the same way that walkie-talkie radios send and
receive information over the airwaves, wireless networking devices exchange information with one
another. A wireless networking device is just like a radio that lets your computer exchange information
with radios attached to other computers. Like walkie-talkies, most wireless networking devices operate
at radio frequency bands that are open to the public and do not require a license to use. However,
wireless networking is different from that of most traditional radio communications in that there are a
number of wireless networking standards available with different methods of data encryption.

6.2 General Settings
A WiFi network name (also known as SSID) and a security level are basic elements of a WiFi network. Set
a Security Level to protect your data from unauthorized access or damage via WiFi. Use this screen to
enable WiFi, enter the SSID and select the WiFi security mode. It’s recommended that you select More
Secure to enable WPA2-PSK data encryption.
Note: If you are configuring the Zyxel Device from a computer connected to WiFi and you
change the Zyxel Device’s SSID, channel or security settings, you will lose your WiFi
connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the WiFi settings of
your computer to match the Zyxel Device’s new settings.

Channel Use Auto to have the Zyxel Device automatically determine a channel to use.
Bandwidth Select whether the Zyxel Device uses a WiFi channel width of 20MHz, 40MHz or 20/40MHz.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz channel
uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps.
40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. The WiFi clients must also support 40MHz. It is often better to use the 20MHz setting in
a location where the environment hinders the WiFi signal.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other WiFi devices in your
neighborhood or the WiFi clients do not support channel bonding.

This section discusses wireless LANs in depth.
6.8.1 WiFi Network Overview
WiFi networks consist of WiFi clients, access points and bridges.
• A WiFi client is a radio connected to a user’s computer.
• An access point is a radio with a wired connection to a network, which can connect with numerous
WiFi clients and let them access the network.
• A bridge is a radio that relays communications between access points and WiFi clients, extending a
network’s range.
Normally, a WiFi network operates in an “infrastructure” type of network. An “infrastructure” type of
network has one or more access points and one or more WiFi clients. The WiFi clients connect to the
access points.

Figure 54 Example of a WiFi Network
The WiFi network is the part in the blue circle. In this WiFi 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 WiFi network must follow these basic guidelines.
• Every device in the same WiFi network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the WiFi network. It stands for Service Set IDentifier.
• If two WiFi networks overlap, they should use a different channel.
Like radio stations or television channels, each WiFi network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to
send and receive information.
• Every device in the same WiFi network must use security compatible with the AP.
Security stops unauthorized devices from using the WiFi network. It can also protect the information
that is sent in the WiFi network.
Radio Channels
In the radio spectrum, there are certain frequency bands allocated for unlicensed, civilian use. For the
purposes of WiFi networking, these bands are divided into numerous channels. This allows a variety of
networks to exist in the same place without interfering with one another. When you create a network,
you must select a channel to use.
Since the available unlicensed spectrum varies from one country to another, the number of available
channels also varies.

6.8.2 Additional Wireless Terms
The following table describes some WiFi network terms and acronyms used in the Zyxel Device’s Web
Configurator.
6.8.3 WiFi Security Overview
By their nature, radio communications are simple to intercept. For WiFi data networks, this means that
anyone within range of a WiFi network without security can not only read the data passing over the
airwaves, but also join the network. Once an unauthorized person has access to the network, he or she
can steal information or introduce malware (malicious software) intended to compromise the network.
For these reasons, a variety of security systems have been developed to ensure that only authorized
people can use a WiFi data network, or understand the data carried on it.
These security standards do two things. First, they authenticate. This means that only people presenting
the right credentials (often a username and password, or a “key” phrase) can access the network.
Second, they encrypt. This means that the information sent over the air is encoded. Only people with
the code key can understand the information, and only people who have been authenticated are
given the code key.
These security standards vary in effectiveness. Some can be broken, such as the old Wired Equivalent
Protocol (WEP). Using WEP is better than using no security at all, but it will not keep a determined
attacker out. Other security standards are secure in themselves but can be broken if a user does not use
them properly. For example, the WPA-PSK security standard is very secure if you use a long key which is
difficult for an attacker’s software to guess - for example, a twenty-letter long string of apparently
random numbers and letters - but it is not very secure if you use a short key which is very easy to guess -
for example, a three-letter word from the dictionary.
Because of the damage that can be done by a malicious attacker, it’s not just people who have
sensitive information on their network who should use security. Everybody who uses any WiFi network
should ensure that effective security is in place.
A good way to come up with effective security keys, passwords and so on is to use obscure information
that you personally will easily remember, and to enter it in a way that appears random and does not
include real words. For example, if your mother owns a 1970 Dodge Challenger and her favorite movie is
Table 31 Additional WiFi Terms
TERM DESCRIPTION
RTS/CTS Threshold In a WiFi network which covers a large area, WiFi 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 WiFi 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 WiFi
devices never have to get permission to send information to the Zyxel Device.
Preamble A preamble affects the timing in your WiFi network. There are two preamble modes: long
and short. If a device uses a different preamble mode than the Zyxel Device does, it
cannot communicate with the Zyxel Device.
Authentication The process of verifying whether a WiFi device is allowed to use the WiFi network.
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.
Chapter 6 Wireless
LTE Series User’s Guide
78
Vanishing Point (which you know was made in 1971) you could use “70dodchal71vanpoi” as your
security key.
The following sections introduce different types of WiFi security you can set up in the WiFi network.
6.8.3.1 SSID
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 WiFi devices to get
the SSID. In addition, unauthorized WiFi devices can still see the information that is sent in the WiFi
network.
6.8.3.2 MAC Address Filter
Every device that can use a WiFi network has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A
MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or
00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each device in the WiFi 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 WiFi network. If a device is allowed to use the WiFi network, it still has to have the correct
information (SSID, channel, and security). If a device is not allowed to use the WiFi 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 WiFi network. Furthermore, there
are ways for unauthorized WiFi devices to get the MAC address of an authorized device. Then, they can
use that MAC address to use the WiFi network.
6.8.3.3 User Authentication
Authentication is the process of verifying whether a WiFi device is allowed to use the WiFi network. You
can make every user log in to the WiFi network before using it. However, every device in the WiFi
network has to support IEEE 802.1x to do this.
For WiFi networks, you can store the user names and passwords for each user in a RADIUS server. This is a
server used in businesses more than in homes. If you do not have a RADIUS server, you cannot set up user
names and passwords for your users.
Unauthorized WiFi devices can still see the information that is sent in the WiFi network, even if they
cannot use the WiFi network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized WiFi users to get a valid user
name and password. Then, they can use that user name and password to use the WiFi network.
6.8.3.4 Encryption
WiFi networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the WiFi network. Encryption is
like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the message.
1. Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect WiFi networks but cannot use WiFi networks. These kinds
of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses.
2. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Chapter 6 Wireless
LTE Series User’s Guide
79
The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of authentication. (See Section 6.8.3.3 on
page 78 for information about this.)
For example, if the WiFi network has a RADIUS server, you can choose WPA or WPA2. If users do not log in
to the WiFi network, you can choose no encryption, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK.
Note: It is recommended that WiFi networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger encryption. The
other types of encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for
unauthorized WiFi devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly.
Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the WiFi network. The longer the key,
the stronger the encryption. Every device in the WiFi network must have the same key.
6.8.4 Signal Problems
Because WiFi networks are radio networks, their signals are subject to limitations of distance, interference
and absorption.
Problems with distance occur when the two radios are too far apart. Problems with interference occur
when other radio waves interrupt the data signal. Interference may come from other radio
transmissions, such as military or air traffic control communications, or from machines that are
coincidental emitters such as electric motors or microwaves. Problems with absorption occur when
physical objects (such as thick walls) are between the two radios, muffling the signal.
6.8.5 BSS
A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless stations go through one
access point (AP).
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the BSS. When Intra-BSS traffic blocking is disabled,
wireless station A and B can access the wired network and communicate with each other. When Intra-
BSS traffic blocking is enabled, wireless station A and B can still access the wired network but cannot
communicate with each other.

Figure 55 Basic Service Set
6.8.6 Preamble Type
Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver. Short and long refer to the length of the
synchronization field in a packet.
Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means more time for sending
data. All IEEE 802.11 compliant wireless adapters support long preamble, but not all support short
preamble.
Use long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode other WiFi devices on the network support,
and to provide more reliable communications in busy WiFi networks.
Use short preamble if you are sure all WiFi devices on the network support it, and to provide more
efficient communications.
Use the dynamic setting to automatically use short preamble when all WiFi devices on the network
support it, otherwise the Zyxel Device uses long preamble.
Note: The WiFi devices MUST use the same preamble mode in order to communicate.
6.8.7 WiFi Protected Setup (WPS)
Your Zyxel Device supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure WiFi
network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance.
LTE
Chapter 6 Wireless
LTE Series User’s Guide
81
WPS allows you to quickly set up a WiFi network with strong security, without having to configure security
settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS
(check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its
configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to
authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two
minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up
a secure network by themselves.
6.8.7.1 Push Button Configuration
WPS Push Button Configuration (PBC) is initiated by pressing a button on each WPS-enabled device, and
allowing them to connect automatically. You do not need to enter any information.
Not every WPS-enabled device has a physical WPS button. Some may have a WPS PBC button in their
configuration utilities instead of or in addition to the physical button.
Take the following steps to set up WPS using the button.
1Ensure that the two devices you want to set up are within wireless range of one another.
2Look for a WPS button on each device. If the device does not have one, log into its configuration utility
and locate the button (see the device’s User’s Guide for how to do this - for the Zyxel Device, see
Section 6.4 on page 68).
3Press the button on one of the devices (it doesn’t matter which). For the Zyxel Device you must press the
WiFi button for more than five seconds.
4Within two minutes, press the button on the other device. The registrar sends the network name (SSID)
and security key through a secure connection to the enrollee.
If you need to make sure that WPS worked, check the list of associated WiFi clients in the AP’s
configuration utility. If you see the WiFi client in the list, WPS was successful.
6.8.7.2 PIN Configuration
Each WPS-enabled device has its own PIN (Personal Identification Number). This may either be static (it
cannot be changed) or dynamic (in some devices you can generate a new PIN by clicking on a button
in the configuration interface).
Use the PIN method instead of the push-button configuration (PBC) method if you want to ensure that
the connection is established between the devices you specify, not just the first two devices to activate
WPS in range of each other. However, you need to log into the configuration interfaces of both devices
to use the PIN method.
When you use the PIN method, you must enter the PIN from one device (usually the WiFi client) into the
second device (usually the Access Point or wireless router). Then, when WPS is activated on the first
device, it presents its PIN to the second device. If the PIN matches, one device sends the network and
security information to the other, allowing it to join the network.
Take the following steps to set up a WPS connection between an access point or wireless router
(referred to here as the AP) and a client device using the PIN method.
Chapter 6 Wireless
LTE Series User’s Guide
82
1Ensure WPS is enabled on both devices.
2Access the WPS section of the AP’s configuration interface. See the device’s User’s Guide on how to do
this.
3Look for the client’s WPS PIN; it will be displayed either on the device, or in the WPS section of the client’s
configuration interface (see the device’s User’s Guide on how to find the WPS PIN - for the Zyxel Device,
see Section 6.4 on page 68).
4Enter the client’s PIN in the AP’s configuration interface.
5If the client device’s configuration interface has an area for entering another device’s PIN, you can
either enter the client’s PIN in the AP, or enter the AP’s PIN in the client - it does not matter which.
6Start WPS on both devices within two minutes.
7Use the configuration utility to activate WPS, not the push-button on the device itself.
8On a computer connected to the WiFi client, try to connect to the Internet. If you can connect, WPS
was successful.
If you cannot connect, check the list of associated WiFi clients in the AP’s configuration utility. If you see
the WiFi client in the list, WPS was successful.
The following figure shows a WPS-enabled WiFi client (installed in a notebook computer) connecting to
the WPS-enabled AP via the PIN method.
Chapter 6 Wireless
LTE Series User’s Guide
83
Figure 56 Example WPS Process: PIN Method
6.8.7.3 How WPS Works
When two WPS-enabled devices connect, each device must assume a specific role. One device acts
as the registrar (the device that supplies network and security settings) and the other device acts as the
enrollee (the device that receives network and security settings. The registrar creates a secure EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) tunnel and sends the network name (SSID) and the WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK pre-shared key to the enrollee. Whether WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is used depends on the
standards supported by the devices. If the registrar is already part of a network, it sends the existing
information. If not, it generates the SSID and WPA(2)-PSK randomly.
The following figure shows a WPS-enabled client (installed in a notebook computer) connecting to a
WPS-enabled access point.
Chapter 6 Wireless
LTE Series User’s Guide
84
Figure 57 How WPS works
The roles of registrar and enrollee last only as long as the WPS setup process is active (two minutes). The
next time you use WPS, a different device can be the registrar if necessary.
The WPS connection process is like a handshake; only two devices participate in each WPS transaction.
If you want to add more devices you should repeat the process with one of the existing networked
devices and the new device.
Note that the access point (AP) is not always the registrar, and the WiFi client is not always the enrollee.
All WPS-certified APs can be a registrar, and so can some WPS-enabled WiFi clients.
By default, a WPS device is ‘unconfigured’. This means that it is not part of an existing network and can
act as either enrollee or registrar (if it supports both functions). If the registrar is unconfigured, the security
settings it transmits to the enrollee are randomly-generated. Once a WPS-enabled device has
connected to another device using WPS, it becomes ‘configured’. A configured WiFi client can still act
as enrollee or registrar in subsequent WPS connections, but a configured access point can no longer act
as enrollee. It will be the registrar in all subsequent WPS connections in which it is involved. If you want a
configured AP to act as an enrollee, you must reset it to its factory defaults.
6.8.7.4 Example WPS Network Setup
This section shows how security settings are distributed in a sample WPS setup.
The following figure shows a sample network. In step 1, both AP1 and Client 1 are unconfigured. When
WPS is activated on both, they perform the handshake. In this example, AP1 is the registrar, and Client 1
Chapter 6 Wireless
LTE Series User’s Guide
85
is the enrollee. The registrar randomly generates the security information to set up the network, since it is
unconfigured and has no existing information.
Figure 58 WPS: Example Network Step 1
In step 2, you add another WiFi client to the network. You know that Client 1 supports registrar mode, but
it is better to use AP1 for the WPS handshake with the new client since you must connect to the access
point anyway in order to use the network. In this case, AP1 must be the registrar, since it is configured (it
already has security information for the network). AP1 supplies the existing security information to Client
2.
Figure 59 WPS: Example Network Step 2
In step 3, you add another access point (AP2) to your network. AP2 is out of range of AP1, so you cannot
use AP1 for the WPS handshake with the new access point. However, you know that Client 2 supports
the registrar function, so you use it to perform the WPS handshake instead.
Chapter 6 Wireless
LTE Series User’s Guide
86
Figure 60 WPS: Example Network Step 3
6.8.7.5 Limitations of WPS
WPS has some limitations of which you should be aware.
• When you use WPS, it works between two devices only. You cannot enroll multiple devices
simultaneously, you must enroll one after the other.
For instance, if you have two enrollees and one registrar you must set up the first enrollee (by pressing
the WPS button on the registrar and the first enrollee, for example), then check that it was successfully
enrolled, then set up the second device in the same way.
• WPS works only with other WPS-enabled devices. However, you can still add non-WPS devices to a
network you already set up using WPS.
WPS works by automatically issuing a randomly-generated WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK pre-shared key
from the registrar device to the enrollee devices. Whether the network uses WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK
depends on the device. You can check the configuration interface of the registrar device to discover
the key the network is using (if the device supports this feature). Then, you can enter the key into the
non-WPS device and join the network as normal (the non-WPS device must also support WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK).
• When you use the PBC method, there is a short period (from the moment you press the button on one
device to the moment you press the button on the other device) when any WPS-enabled device
could join the network. This is because the registrar has no way of identifying the ‘correct’ enrollee,
and cannot differentiate between your enrollee and a rogue device. This is a possible way for a
hacker to gain access to a network.
You can easily check to see if this has happened. WPS only works simultaneously between two
devices, so if another device has enrolled your device will be unable to enroll, and will not have
access to the network. If this happens, open the access point’s configuration interface and look at
the list of associated clients (usually displayed by MAC address). It does not matter if the access point
Chapter 6 Wireless
LTE Series User’s Guide
87
is the WPS registrar, the enrollee, or was not involved in the WPS handshake; a rogue device must still
associate with the access point to gain access to the network. Check the MAC addresses of your WiFi
clients (usually printed on a label on the bottom of the device). If there is an unknown MAC address
you can remove it or reset the AP.

CHAPTER 7
Home Networking
7.1 Overview
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. A LAN is usually located in one immediate area such as a building or floor of a building.
The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP addresses.
7.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the LAN Setup screen to set the LAN IP address, subnet mask, and DHCP settings (Section 7.2 on
page 89).
• Use the Static DHCP screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based
on their MAC addresses (Section 7.3 on page 93).
• Use the UPnP screen to enable UPnP (Section 7.4 on page 95).
7.1.2 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
7.1.2.1 About LAN
IP Address
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. This is known as an Internet Protocol address.
Subnet Mask
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.
Chapter 7 Home Networking
LTE Series User’s Guide
89
DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up
from a server. This Zyxel Device has a built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS
servers to systems that support DHCP client capability.
DNS
DNS (Domain Name System) maps 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 computer
before you can access it. The DNS server addresses you enter when you set up DHCP are passed to the
client machines along with the assigned IP address and subnet mask.
7.1.2.2 About UPnP
How do I know if I'm using UPnP?
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows 7). 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.
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.
UPnP and Zyxel
Zyxel has achieved UPnP certification from the Universal Plug and Play Forum UPnP™ Implementers
Corp. (UIC). Zyxel's UPnP implementation supports Internet Gateway Device (IGD) 1.0.
See Section 7.6 on page 97 for examples on installing and using UPnP.
7.2 LAN Setup
A LAN IP address is the IP address of a networking device in the LAN. You can use the Zyxel Device's LAN
IP address to access its Web Configurator from the LAN. The DHCP server settings define the rules on
assigning IP addresses to LAN clients on your network. Set the Local Area Network IP address and subnet
mask of your Zyxel Device and configure the DNS server information that the Zyxel Device sends to the
DHCP clients on the LAN in this screen. Click Network Setting > Home Networking to open the LAN Setup
screen.

DHCP Server Lease Time
Days/Hours/Minutes DHCP server leases an address to a new device for a period of time, called the DHCP lease
time. When the lease expires, the DHCP server might assign the IP address to a different
device.
DNS Values
DNS The Zyxel Device supports DNS proxy by default. The Zyxel Device sends out its own LAN IP
address to the DHCP clients as the first DNS server address. DHCP clients use this first DNS
server to send domain-name queries to the Zyxel Device. The Zyxel Device sends a response
directly if it has a record of the domain-name to IP address mapping. If it does not, the Zyxel
Device queries an outside DNS server and relays the response to the DHCP client.
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the Zyxel Device's
WAN IP address).
Select Static if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server's IP address in
the field to the right.

7.3 Static DHCP
When any of the LAN clients in your network want an assigned fixed IP address, add a static lease for
each LAN client. Knowing the LAN client’s MAC addresses is necessary. Assign IP addresses on the LAN
to specific individual computers based on their MAC addresses.
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.

7.4 UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple
peer-to-peer network connectivity between networking devices and software that also have UPnP
enabled. A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities
and learn about other devices on the network. A device can leave a network smoothly and
automatically when it is no longer in use.
See Section 7.6 on page 97 for more information on UPnP.

7.5 Technical Reference
This section provides some technical background information about the topics covered in this chapter.
LANs, WANs and the Zyxel Device
The actual physical connection determines whether the Zyxel Device ports are LAN or WAN ports. There
are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network as
shown next.
Figure 65 LAN and WAN IP Addresses
Private IP Addresses
Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from the
Internet, for example, 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:
• 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.
Note: 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

CHAPTER 8
Routing
8.1 Overview
The Zyxel Device usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the LAN
to the Internet. To have the Zyxel Device send data to devices not reachable through the default
gateway, use static routes.
For example, the next figure shows a computer (A) connected to the Zyxel Device’s LAN interface. The
Zyxel Device routes most traffic from A to the Internet through the Zyxel Device’s default gateway (R1).
You create one static route to connect to services offered by your ISP behind router R2. You create
another static route to communicate with a separate network behind a router R3 connected to the
LAN.
Figure 84 Example of Static Routing Topology
8.2 Configure Static Route
View and configure static route rules on the Zyxel Device. The purpose of a static route is to save time
and bandwidth usage when LAN devices within an Intranet are transferring files or packets, especially
when there are more than two Internet connections in your home or office network. Click Network

8.4 Policy Route
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the Zyxel Device takes the shortest
path to forward a packet. Policy routes allow you to override the default routing behavior. Policy-based
routing is applied to outgoing packets, and is especially useful when there are more than two Internet
connections available in your home or office network.
You can use source-based policy forwarding to direct traffic from different users through different
connections or distribute traffic among multiple paths for load sharing.

CHAPTER 9
Network Address Translation
(NAT)
9.1 Overview
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a
packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network to a different
IP address known within another network.
9.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the Port Forwarding screen to configure forward incoming service requests to the servers on your
local network (Section 9.2 on page 119).
• Use the Port Triggering screen to add and configure the Zyxel Device’s trigger port settings (Section
9.3 on page 122).
• Use the DMZ screen to configure a default server (Section 9.4 on page 125).
• Use the ALG screen to enable or disable the SIP ALG (Section 9.5 on page 126).
9.1.2 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
Inside/Outside and Global/Local
Inside/outside denotes where a host is located relative to the Zyxel Device, for example, the computers
of your subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside hosts.
Global/local denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a router, for example,
the local address refers to the IP address of a host when the packet is in the local network, while the
global address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is traveling in the WAN side.
NAT
In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber (the
inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the WAN
side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination address (the inside global address)
back to the inside local address before forwarding it to the original inside host.
Chapter 9 Network Address Translation (NAT)
LTE Series User’s Guide
119
Port Forwarding
A port forwarding set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you
can make visible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a
single computer to the outside world.
Find Out More
See Section on page 127 for advanced technical information on NAT.
9.2 Port Forwarding Overview
Use Port Forwarding to forward incoming service requests from the Internet to the server(s) on your local
network. Port forwarding is commonly used when you want to host online gaming, P2P file sharing, or
other servers on your 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. You can allocate a server IP address that corresponds to a port or a range of ports. Please
refer to RFC 1700 for further information about port numbers.
Note: Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes
(such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for
servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your
location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP.
Configure Servers Behind Port Forwarding (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), a default server IP address of 192.168.1.35 to a third (C in the example), and
a default server IP address of 192.168.1.36 to a fourth (D 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.

9.3 Port Triggering
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.

Unlike port forwarding that only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address, trigger port forwarding
allows computers on the LAN to dynamically take turns using a service. Doing away the need to
configure a new IP address each time you want a different LAN computer to use a 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 ("open" port), the Zyxel Device forwards
the traffic to the LAN IP address of the computer that sent the request. After the computer’s connection
for that service closes, another computer on the LAN can use the service in the same manner.
For example:
Figure 95 Trigger Port Forwarding Process: Example
1Jane requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070).
2Port 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 "open" port range of 6970-7170.
3The Real Audio server responds using a port number ranging between 6970-7170.
4The Zyxel Device forwards the traffic to Jane’s computer IP address.
5Only 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).

CHAPTER 10
Dynamic DNS Setup
10.1 DNS Overview
DNS
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.
In addition to the system DNS server(s), each WAN interface (service) is set to have its own static or
dynamic DNS server list. You can configure a DNS static route to forward DNS queries for certain domain
names through a specific WAN interface to its DNS server(s). The Zyxel Device uses a system DNS server
(in the order you specify in the Broadband screen) to resolve domain names that do not match any DNS
routing entry. After the Zyxel Device receives a DNS reply from a DNS server, it creates a new entry for
the resolved IP address in the routing table.
Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS allows you to use a 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.
You first 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.
10.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the DNS Entry screen to view, configure, or remove DNS routes (Section 10.2 on page 129).
• Use the Dynamic DNS screen to enable DDNS and configure the DDNS settings on the Zyxel Device
(Section 10.3 on page 130).
10.1.2 What You Need To Know
DYNDNS Wildcard
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.
Chapter 10 Dynamic DNS Setup

If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use Dynamic DNS.
10.2 DNS Entry
DNS (Domain Name System) is used for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and
vice versa. Use this screen to view and configure DNS routes on the Zyxel Device. Click Network Setting >
DNS to open the DNS Entry screen.
Note: The host name should consist of the host’s local name and the domain name. For
example, Mycomputer.home is a host name where Mycomputer is the host’s local
name, and .home is the domain name.

Shares
When settings are set to default, each USB device connected to the Zyxel Device is given a folder,
called a “share”. If a USB hard drive connected to the Zyxel Device has more than one partition, then
each partition will be allocated a share. You can also configure a “share” to be a sub-folder or file on
the USB device.
File Systems
A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often
different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file sharing feature
on your Zyxel Device supports File Allocation Table (FAT) and FAT32.
Common Internet File System
The Zyxel Device uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions. CIFS
compatible computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the Zyxel Device. CIFS
protocol is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to your
systems specifications for CIFS compatibility).
11.1.2 Before You Begin

CHAPTER 12
Firewall
12.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to enable the Zyxel Device firewall. Use the firewall to protect your Zyxel
Device and network from attacks by hackers on the Internet and control access to it. The firewall:
• allows traffic that originates from your LAN computers to go to all other networks.
• blocks traffic that originates on other networks from going to the LAN.
By default, the Zyxel Device blocks DoS attacks whether the firewall is enabled or disabled.
The following figure illustrates the firewall action. User A can initiate an IM (Instant Messaging) session
from the LAN to the WAN (1). Return traffic for this session is also allowed (2). However other traffic
initiated from the WAN is blocked (3 and 4).
Figure 106 Default Firewall Action
12.1.1 What You Need to Know About Firewall
DoS
Denials of Service (DoS) attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a connection to the Internet.
Their goal is not to steal information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have access
to network resources. The Zyxel Device is pre-configured to automatically detect and thwart all known
DoS attacks.
ICMP
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a message control and error-reporting protocol between a
host server and a gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams, but the messages
are processed by the TCP/IP software and directly apparent to the application user.
Chapter 12 Firewall
LTE Series User’s Guide
138
DoS Thresholds
For DoS attacks, the Zyxel Device uses thresholds to determine when to drop sessions that do not
become fully established. These thresholds apply globally to all sessions. You can use the default
threshold values, or you can change them to values more suitable to your security requirements.
12.2 Firewall
12.2.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the General screen to configure the security level of the firewall on the Zyxel Device (Section 12.3

12.7.1 Firewall Rules Overview
Your customized rules take precedence and override the Zyxel Device’s default settings. The Zyxel
Device checks the source IP address, destination IP address and IP protocol type of network traffic
against the firewall rules (in the order you list them). When the traffic matches a rule, the Zyxel Device
takes the action specified in the rule.
Firewall rules are grouped based on the direction of travel of packets to which they apply:
By default, the Zyxel Device’s stateful packet inspection allows packets traveling in the following
directions:
• LAN to Router
These rules specify which computers on the LAN can manage the Zyxel Device (remote
management).
Note: You can also configure the remote management settings to allow only a specific
computer to manage the Zyxel Device.
• LAN to WAN
These rules specify which computers on the LAN can access which computers or services on the
WAN.
By default, the Zyxel Device’s stateful packet inspection drops packets traveling in the following
directions:
•WAN to LAN
These rules specify which computers on the WAN can access which computers or services on the
LAN.
Note: You also need to configure NAT port forwarding (or full featured NAT address mapping
rules) to allow computers on the WAN to access devices on the LAN.
•WAN to Router
By default the Zyxel Device stops computers on the WAN from managing the Zyxel Device. You could
configure one of these rules to allow a WAN computer to manage the Zyxel Device.
Note: You also need to configure the remote management settings to allow a WAN
computer to manage the Zyxel Device.
You may define additional rules and sets or modify existing ones but please exercise extreme caution in
doing so.
For example, you may create rules to:
• Block certain types of traffic, such as IRC (Internet Relay Chat), from the LAN to the Internet.
• Allow certain types of traffic, such as Lotus Notes database synchronization, from specific hosts on the
Internet to specific hosts on the LAN.
• Allow everyone except your competitors to access a web server.
• LAN to Router • WAN to LAN
• LAN to WAN • WAN to Router
Chapter 12 Firewall
LTE Series User’s Guide
146
• Restrict use of certain protocols, such as Telnet, to authorized users on the LAN.
These custom rules work by comparing the source IP address, destination IP address and IP protocol
type of network traffic to rules set by the administrator. Your customized rules take precedence and
override the Zyxel Device’s default rules.
12.7.2 Guidelines For Security Enhancement With Your Firewall
1Change the default password via the Web Configurator.
2Think about access control before you connect to the network in any way.
3Limit who can access your router.
4Don'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.
5For 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.
6Protect against IP spoofing by making sure the firewall is active.
7Keep the firewall in a secured (locked) room.
12.7.3 Security Considerations
Note: Incorrectly configuring the firewall may block valid access or introduce security risks to
the Zyxel Device and your protected network. Use caution when creating or deleting
firewall rules and test your rules after you configure them.
Consider these security ramifications before creating a rule:
1Does this rule stop LAN users from accessing critical resources on the Internet? For example, if IRC
(Internet Relay Chat) is blocked, are there users that require this service?
2Is it possible to modify the rule to be more specific? For example, if IRC is blocked for all users, will a rule
that blocks just certain users be more effective?
3Does a rule that allows Internet users access to resources on the LAN create a security vulnerability? For
example, if FTP ports (TCP 20, 21) are allowed from the Internet to the LAN, Internet users may be able to
connect to computers with running FTP servers.
4Does this rule conflict with any existing rules?
Once these questions have been answered, adding rules is simply a matter of entering the information
into the correct fields in the Web Configurator screens.

CHAPTER 13
MAC Filter
13.1 MAC Filter Overview
You can configure the Zyxel Device to permit access to clients based on their MAC addresses in the
MAC Filter screen. This applies to wired and wireless connections. 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. You need to know the MAC addresses
of the LAN client to configure this screen.

Public and Private Keys
When using public-key cryptology for authentication, each host has two keys. One key is public and can
be made openly available; the other key is private and must be kept secure. Public-key encryption in
general works as follows.
1Tim wants to send a private message to Jenny. Tim generates a public-private key pair. What is
encrypted with one key can only be decrypted using the other.
2Tim keeps the private key and makes the public key openly available.
3Tim uses his private key to encrypt the message and sends it to Jenny.
4Jenny receives the message and uses Tim’s public key to decrypt it.
5Additionally, Jenny uses her own private key to encrypt a message and Tim uses Jenny’s public key to
decrypt the message.
The Zyxel Device uses certificates based on public-key cryptology to authenticate users attempting to
establish a connection. The method used to secure the data that you send through an established
connection depends on the type of connection. For example, a VPN tunnel might use the triple DES
encryption algorithm.
The certification authority uses its private key to sign certificates. Anyone can then use the certification
authority’s public key to verify the certificates.
Advantages of Certificates
Certificates offer the following benefits.
• The Zyxel Device only has to store the certificates of the certification authorities that you decide to
trust, no matter how many devices you need to authenticate.
• Key distribution is simple and very secure since you can freely distribute public keys and you never
need to transmit private keys.
Certificate File Format
The certification authority certificate that you want to import has to be in PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509
file format. This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses 64 ASCII characters to convert a binary X.509
certificate into a printable form.
14.6.1 Verify a Certificate
Before you import a trusted CA or trusted remote host certificate into the Zyxel Device, you should verify
that you have the actual certificate. This is especially true of trusted CA certificates since the Zyxel
Device also trusts any valid certificate signed by any of the imported trusted CA certificates.
You can use a certificate’s fingerprint to verify it. A certificate’s fingerprint is a message digest
calculated using the MD5 or SHA1 algorithms. The following procedure describes how to check a
certificate’s fingerprint to verify that you have the actual certificate.
1Browse to where you have the certificate saved on your computer.

Log
15.1 Log Overview
These screens allow you to determine the categories of events and/or alerts that the Zyxel Device logs
and then display these logs or have the Zyxel Device send them to an administrator (through email) or
to a syslog server.
15.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the System Log screen to see the system logs (Section 15.2 on page 159).
• Use the Security Log screen to see the security-related logs for the categories that you select (Section
15.3 on page 159).
15.1.2 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
Alerts and Logs
An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. They include system errors, attacks (access
control) and attempted access to blocked web sites. Some categories such as System Errors consist of
both logs and alerts. You may differentiate them by their color in the View Log screen. Alerts display in
red and logs display in black.
Syslog Overview
The syslog protocol allows devices to send event notification messages across an IP network to syslog
servers that collect the event messages. A syslog-enabled device can generate a syslog message and
send it to a syslog server.
Syslog is defined in RFC 3164. The RFC defines the packet format, content and system log related
information of syslog messages. Each syslog message has a facility and severity level. The syslog facility
identifies a file in the syslog server. Refer to the documentation of your syslog program for details. The
following table describes the syslog severity levels.

CHAPTER 17
ARP Table
17.1 ARP Table Overview
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.
An IP (version 4) address is 32 bits long. In an Ethernet LAN, MAC addresses are 48 bits long. The ARP
table maintains an association between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address.
17.1.1 How ARP Works
When an incoming packet destined for a host device on a local area network arrives at the device, the
device's ARP program looks in the ARP table and, if it finds the address, sends it to the device.
If no entry is found for the IP address, ARP broadcasts the request to all the devices on the LAN. The
device fills in its own MAC and IP address in the sender address fields, and puts the known IP address of
the target in the target IP address field. In addition, the device puts all ones in the target MAC field
(FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF is the Ethernet broadcast address). The replying device (which is either the IP address of
the device being sought or the router that knows the way) replaces the broadcast address with the
target's MAC address, swaps the sender and target pairs, and unicasts the answer directly back to the
requesting machine. ARP updates the ARP table for future reference and then sends the packet to the
MAC address that replied.

Routing Table
18.1 Routing Table Overview
Routing is based on the destination address only and the Zyxel Device takes the shortest path to forward
a packet.
18.2 Routing Table
The table below shows IPv4 and IPv6 routing information. The destination can be a network or host. The
IPv4 subnet mask is ‘255.255.255.255’ for a host destination and ‘0.0.0.0’ for the default route. The
gateway address is written as ‘*’(IPv4)/‘::’(IPv6) if none is set. Flags can be U - up, ! - reject, G - gateway,
C - cache, H - host, R - reinstate, D - dynamic (redirect), or M - modified (redirect). Metric is the distance
to the target (usually counted in hops). Interface is how the packets for this route will be sent.

Daylight Saving Time starts in most parts of the United States on the second Sunday of March.
Each time zone in the United States starts using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in
the United States, set the day to Second, Sunday, the month to March and the time to 2 in the
Hour field.
Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday of March. All of the time
zones in the European Union start using Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M.
GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would set the day to Last, Sunday and the month
to March. The time you select in the o'clock field depends on your time zone. In Germany for
instance, you would select 2 in the Hour field because Germany's time zone is one hour
ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
End Rule Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time ends if you enabled Daylight Saving.
You can select a specific date in a particular month or a specific day of a specific week in a
particular month. The Time field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the first Sunday of November. Each time

sure [Caps Lock] is not on.
4For LTE3301-PLUS, make sure you converted LAN port number four as WAN. Click Enable in Network
Setting > Broadband > Ethernet WAN screen. Make sure you have the Ethernet WAN port connected to
a modem or router.
5If 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.
1Check the hardware connections (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2Turn the Zyxel Device off and on.
3If the problem continues, contact your ISP.
The Internet connection is slow or intermittent.
1There might be a lot of traffic on the network. If the Zyxel Device is sending or receiving a lot of
information, try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications.
2Check the signal strength. Look at the LEDs, and check the LED section for more information. If the signal
strength is low, try moving the Zyxel Device closer to the ISP’s base station 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).
3For the LTE3301-PLUS, connect two external antennas to improve the wireless WAN signal strength. Point
the antennas to the base stations directions if you know where they are, or try pointing the antennas in
different directions and check which provides the strongest signal to the Zyxel Device. See the
Introduction chapter for more information.
4Turn the Zyxel Device off and on.
5If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try the advanced suggestion
(refer to I cannot see or access the Login screen in the Web Configurator in this chapter).
Note: Since your Zyxel Device is an outdoor-type, inclement weather like rain and hot weather may
affect LTE signals.

Chapter 30 Troubleshooting
LTE Series User’s Guide
206
30.7 SIM Card
The SIM card cannot be detected.
1Disconnect the Zyxel Device from the power supply.
2Remove the SIM card from its slot.
3Clean the SIM card slot of any loose debris using compressed air.
4Clean the gold connectors on the SIM card with a clean lint-free cloth.
5Insert the SIM card into its slot and connect the Zyxel Device to the power supply to restart it.
I get an Invalid SIM card alert.
1Make sure you have an active plan with your ISP.
2Make sure that the Zyxel Device is in the coverage area of a cellular network.
30.8 Cellular Signal
How should I position the Zyxel Device to get a strong cellular signal?
1Find the location of your nearest cellular base station(s), then install the Zyxel Device towards the
direction of those sites. The nearest site or site with a direct line-of-sight is usually preferred.
Note: It is best to test towards more than one cellular site, as the nearest site / line-of-sight is
not always the best due to the terrain, interference, density of usage, etc. All of these
factors influence the stability, availability and throughput of the link to the Zyxel Device.
2Position the Zyxel Device towards a direction where coverage is expected (example the nearest town).
3Conduct test measurements using the Web Configurator’s System Monitor > Cellular WAN Status screen
to obtain a report of the cellular network signal strength and quality at various test positions.
Note: It is best to reboot the Zyxel Device before each test measurement is taken to ensure
that it is not camping on the previous cellular site. This is because the Zyxel Device can
‘lock’ onto the previous cellular site even when the new cellular site is at a much better
signal level and quality.
Chapter 30 Troubleshooting
LTE Series User’s Guide
207
Although installing the Zyxel Device as high as possible is the usual rule of thumb, it is sometimes possible
that the Zyxel Device is in a weak coverage spot at that specific height. Adjust the height to achieve the
best service possible.
Note: Cellular network signals and quality can fluctuate. A measurement taken now and a
few moments later can differ substantially even if nothing apparent has changed – this
can be due to many aspects, such as fading, reflections, interference, capacity due to
high network traffic, etc.
It is possible that the network topology and usage changes over time, even from one minute to the next
as network utilization increases. If poor performance is experienced at a later stage, re-test different
installation locations again. It is possible that the current serving cellular site has become over utilized or
is out-of-service. As the network design and topology changes, so will the experience change, either for
the better or for the worse.

APPENDIX B
IPv6
Overview
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and features. The increase in
IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 1038 IP addresses.
IPv6 Addressing
The 128-bit IPv6 address is written as eight 16-bit hexadecimal blocks separated by colons (:). This is an
example IPv6 address 2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000.
IPv6 addresses can be abbreviated in two ways:
• Leading zeros in a block can be omitted. So 2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000 can be
written as 2001:db8:1a2b:15:0:0:1a2f:0.
• Any number of consecutive blocks of zeros can be replaced by a double colon. A double colon can
only appear once in an IPv6 address. So 2001:0db8:0000:0000:1a2f:0000:0000:0015 can be
written as 2001:0db8::1a2f:0000:0000:0015, 2001:0db8:0000:0000:1a2f::0015,
2001:db8::1a2f:0:0:15 or 2001:db8:0:0:1a2f::15.
Prefix and Prefix Length
Similar to an IPv4 subnet mask, IPv6 uses an address prefix to represent the network address. An IPv6
prefix length specifies how many most significant bits (start from the left) in the address compose the
network address. The prefix length is written as “/x” where x is a number. For example,
2001:db8:1a2b:15::1a2f:0/32
means that the first 32 bits (2001:db8) is the subnet prefix.
Link-local Address
A link-local address uniquely identifies a device on the local network (the LAN). It is similar to a “private IP
address” in IPv4. You can have the same link-local address on multiple interfaces on a device. A link-
local unicast address has a predefined prefix of fe80::/10. The link-local unicast address format is as
follows.
Table 91 Link-local Unicast Address Format
Global Address
A global address uniquely identifies a device on the Internet. It is similar to a “public IP address” in IPv4. A
global unicast address starts with a 2 or 3.
1111 1110 10 0 Interface ID
10 bits 54 bits 64 bits
Appendix B IPv6
LTE Series User’s Guide
216
Unspecified Address
An unspecified address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 or ::) is used as the source address when a device does not have
its own address. It is similar to “0.0.0.0” in IPv4.
Loopback Address
A loopback address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or ::1) allows a host to send packets to itself. It is similar to “127.0.0.1”
in IPv4.
Multicast Address
In IPv6, multicast addresses provide the same functionality as IPv4 broadcast addresses. Broadcasting is
not supported in IPv6. A multicast address allows a host to send packets to all hosts in a multicast group.
Multicast scope allows you to determine the size of the multicast group. A multicast address has a
predefined prefix of ff00::/8. The following table describes some of the predefined multicast addresses.
The following table describes the multicast addresses which are reserved and cannot be assigned to a
multicast group.

MULTICAST ADDRESS DESCRIPTION
FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 All hosts on a local node.

Subnet Masking
Both an IPv6 address and IPv6 subnet mask compose of 128-bit binary digits, which are divided into
eight 16-bit blocks and written in hexadecimal notation. Hexadecimal uses four bits for each character
(1 ~ 10, A ~ F). Each block’s 16 bits are then represented by four hexadecimal characters. For example,
FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FC00:0000:0000:0000.
Interface ID
In IPv6, an interface ID is a 64-bit identifier. It identifies a physical interface (for example, an Ethernet
port) or a virtual interface (for example, the management IP address for a VLAN). One interface should
have a unique interface ID.
EUI-64
The EUI-64 (Extended Unique Identifier) defined by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers) is an interface ID format designed to adapt with IPv6. It is derived from the 48-bit (6-byte)
Ethernet MAC address as shown next. EUI-64 inserts the hex digits fffe between the third and fourth bytes
of the MAC address and complements the seventh bit of the first byte of the MAC address. See the
following example.
Identity Association
An Identity Association (IA) is a collection of addresses assigned to a DHCP client, through which the
server and client can manage a set of related IP addresses. Each IA must be associated with exactly
one interface. The DHCP client uses the IA assigned to an interface to obtain configuration from a DHCP
server for that interface. Each IA consists of a unique IAID and associated IP information.
The IA type is the type of address in the IA. Each IA holds one type of address. IA_NA means an identity
association for non-temporary addresses and IA_TA is an identity association for temporary addresses.
An IA_NA option contains the T1 and T2 fields, but an IA_TA option does not. The DHCPv6 server uses T1
and T2 to control the time at which the client contacts with the server to extend the lifetimes on any
addresses in the IA_NA before the lifetimes expire. After T1, the client sends the server (S1) (from which
the addresses in the IA_NA were obtained) a Renew message. If the time T2 is reached and the server

218
does not respond, the client sends a Rebind message to any available server (S2). For an IA_TA, the
client may send a Renew or Rebind message at the client's discretion.
DHCP Relay Agent
A DHCP relay agent is on the same network as the DHCP clients and helps forward messages between
the DHCP server and clients. When a client cannot use its link-local address and a well-known multicast
address to locate a DHCP server on its network, it then needs a DHCP relay agent to send a message to
a DHCP server that is not attached to the same network.
The DHCP relay agent can add the remote identification (remote-ID) option and the interface-ID option
to the Relay-Forward DHCPv6 messages. The remote-ID option carries a user-defined string, such as the
system name. The interface-ID option provides slot number, port information and the VLAN ID to the
DHCPv6 server. The remote-ID option (if any) is stripped from the Relay-Reply messages before the relay
agent sends the packets to the clients. The DHCP server copies the interface-ID option from the Relay-
Forward message into the Relay-Reply message and sends it to the relay agent. The interface-ID should
not change even after the relay agent restarts.
Prefix Delegation
Prefix delegation enables an IPv6 router to use the IPv6 prefix (network address) received from the ISP (or
a connected uplink router) for its LAN. The Zyxel Device uses the received IPv6 prefix (for example,
2001:db2::/48) to generate its LAN IP address. Through sending Router Advertisements (RAs) regularly by
multicast, the Zyxel Device passes the IPv6 prefix information to its LAN hosts. The hosts then can use the
prefix to generate their IPv6 addresses.
ICMPv6
Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6 (ICMPv6 or ICMP for IPv6) is defined in RFC 4443. ICMPv6 has
a preceding Next Header value of 58, which is different from the value used to identify ICMP for IPv4.
ICMPv6 is an integral part of IPv6. IPv6 nodes use ICMPv6 to report errors encountered in packet
processing and perform other diagnostic functions, such as "ping".
Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)
The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) is a protocol used to discover other IPv6 devices and track
neighbor’s reachability in a network. An IPv6 device uses the following ICMPv6 messages types:
• Neighbor solicitation: A request from a host to determine a neighbor’s link-layer address (MAC
address) and detect if the neighbor is still reachable. A neighbor being “reachable” means it
responds to a neighbor solicitation message (from the host) with a neighbor advertisement message.
• Neighbor advertisement: A response from a node to announce its link-layer address.

• Router solicitation: A request from a host to locate a router that can act as the default router and
forward packets.
• Router advertisement: A response to a router solicitation or a periodical multicast advertisement from
a router to advertise its presence and other parameters.
IPv6 Cache
An IPv6 host is required to have a neighbor cache, destination cache, prefix list and default router list.
The Zyxel Device maintains and updates its IPv6 caches constantly using the information from response
messages. In IPv6, the Zyxel Device configures a link-local address automatically, and then sends a
neighbor solicitation message to check if the address is unique. If there is an address to be resolved or
verified, the Zyxel Device also sends out a neighbor solicitation message. When the Zyxel Device
receives a neighbor advertisement in response, it stores the neighbor’s link-layer address in the neighbor
cache. When the Zyxel Device uses a router solicitation message to query for a router and receives a
router advertisement message, it adds the router’s information to the neighbor cache, prefix list and
destination cache. The Zyxel Device creates an entry in the default router list cache if the router can be
used as a default router.
When the Zyxel Device needs to send a packet, it first consults the destination cache to determine the
next hop. If there is no matching entry in the destination cache, the Zyxel Device uses the prefix list to
determine whether the destination address is on-link and can be reached directly without passing
through a router. If the address is unlink, the address is considered as the next hop. Otherwise, the Zyxel
Device determines the next-hop from the default router list or routing table. Once the next hop IP
address is known, the Zyxel Device looks into the neighbor cache to get the link-layer address and sends
the packet when the neighbor is reachable. If the Zyxel Device cannot find an entry in the neighbor
cache or the state for the neighbor is not reachable, it starts the address resolution process. This helps
reduce the number of IPv6 solicitation and advertisement messages.
Multicast Listener Discovery
The Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol (defined in RFC 2710) is derived from IPv4's Internet
Group Management Protocol version 2 (IGMPv2). MLD uses ICMPv6 message types, rather than IGMP
message types. MLDv1 is equivalent to IGMPv2 and MLDv2 is equivalent to IGMPv3.
MLD allows an IPv6 switch or router to discover the presence of MLD listeners who wish to receive
multicast packets and the IP addresses of multicast groups the hosts want to join on its network.
MLD snooping and MLD proxy are analogous to IGMP snooping and IGMP proxy in IPv4.
MLD filtering controls which multicast groups a port can join.
MLD Messages
A multicast router or switch periodically sends general queries to MLD hosts to update the multicast
forwarding table. When an MLD host wants to join a multicast group, it sends an MLD Report message
for that address.
An MLD Done message is equivalent to an IGMP Leave message. When an MLD host wants to leave a
multicast group, it can send a Done message to the router or switch. The router or switch then sends a
group-specific query to the port on which the Done message is received to determine if other devices
connected to this port should remain in the group.
