CHAPTER 4 Maintenance This chapter shows you how to configure system related settings, such as operating mode and system password, and auto-provision and TR-069 autoconfiguration settings. 4.1 System Mode and Accounts Use this screen to configure your ZyXEL Device as a router or a bridge, and the system passwords. 4.1.1 Operating Mode The ZyXEL Device is in router mode by default and functions as a router. In bridge mode, the DHCP server on the ZyXEL Device is disabled. If you connect your computer directly to the ZyXEL Device, you need to assign your computer a static IP address in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device's IP address in order to access the ZyXEL Device. You can configure the ZyXEL Device's IP address in order to access the ZyXEL Device in bridge mode for management. You can NOT use the firewall, content filtering or NAT in bridge mode. 4.1.2 System Accounts The ZyXEL Device provides two account types (administrator and user) with different privilege levels. The web configurator screens vary depending on which account you use to log in. The administrator account allows you to do all settings on the ZyXEL Device. With the user account, you can view the status page, configure the WAN, LAN, NAT, firewall and content filtering settings, modify the user account password and autoprovision server address, change operating mode and system time, do firmware upgrade and view system logs.
