Chapter 1 Introduction 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 re-configure the ZyXEL Device. You could simply restore your last configuration. 1.4 Applications for the ZyXEL Device Here are some example uses for which the ZyXEL Device is well suited. 1.4.1 Internet Access Your ZyXEL Device provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. Computers can connect to the ZyXEL Device's LAN ports (or wirelessly). Figure 1 ZyXEL Device's Router Features LAN DSL You can also configure firewall and filtering feature 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 the filtering feature to block access to specific web sites or Internet applications such as MSN or Yahoo Messenger. You can also configure IP/MAC filtering rules for incoming or outgoing traffic. 24 ADSL Router Series User's Guide

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 re-configure the ZyXEL

Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.

Applications for the ZyXEL Device

Here are some example uses for which the ZyXEL Device is well suited.

1.4.1

Internet Access

Your ZyXEL Device provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the

DSL

jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. Computers can connect to the ZyXEL Device’s

LAN ports (or wirelessly).

ZyXEL Device’s Router Features

You can also configure firewall and filtering feature 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 the filtering feature to block access to specific web sites or Internet applications such as MSN or

Yahoo Messenger. You can also configure IP/MAC filtering rules for incoming or outgoing traffic.
