VLAN

VLAN

Select the check box to assign a VLAN ID to the WAN interface.

VLAN ID

Enter a number as the WAN interface VLAN ID (1 to 4094).

A WAN interface VLAN ID is a tag that adds to incoming untagged frames received on a port so that the frames are forwarded to the VLAN group that the tag defines.

WAN Type

Select DHCP if the WAN interface gets its IP address from a DHCP server.

Select Static IP if you want to assign a static IP address to the WAN interface.

Select PPPoE if your WAN interface is getting Internet connection from a PPPoE server.

Select PPPoE with Static IP if you want to assign a static IP address to the WAN interface and your WAN interface is getting Internet connection from a PPPoE server.

IP Address (This field appears when you select DHCP as the WAN Type.)

IP Address

This field shows the IP address assigned by a DHCP server to the WAN interface.

PPP Information (These fields appear when you select PPPoE or PPPoE with Static IP as the WAN Type.)

User Name

Enter the user name given to you by your ISP. You can use alphanumeric and -_@$./ characters. It can be up to 31 characters long.

Password

Enter the password associated with the user name above. Use up to 64 ASCII characters except the [] and ?. This field can be blank.

PPP Connection Trigger

Select when to have the Zyxel Device establish the PPP connection.

Auto Connect – select this to not let the connection time out.

On Demand – select this to automatically bring up the connection when the Zyxel Device receives packets destined for the Internet.

Enter the Idle Timeout (up to 300 minutes) that elapses before the Zyxel Device automatically disconnects from the PPPoE server.

PPPoE Passthrough

In addition to the Zyxel Device’s built-in PPPoE client, you can enable PPPoE pass through to allow up to ten hosts on the LAN to use PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to the ISP through the Zyxel Device. Each host can have a separate account and a public WAN IP address.

PPPoE pass through is an alternative to NAT for applications where NAT is not appropriate.

Disable PPPoE pass through if you do not need to allow hosts on the LAN to use PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to the ISP.

IP Address (These fields appear when you select Static IP or PPPoE with Static IP as the WAN Type.)

IP Address

Enter the static public IP address for your Zyxel Device.

DNS Server

Primary/Secondary DNS Server

The Domain Name System (DNS) maps a domain name to an IP address and vice versa. Enter a DNS server’s IP address. 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 uses these (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for VPN, DDNS and the time server. Leave the field as 0.0.0.0 if you do not want to configure DNS servers.

(These fields appear when you select Static IP as the WAN Type.)

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask for this WAN connection’s IP address.

Gateway IP Address

Enter the IP address of the router through which this WAN connection will send traffic.

Cancel

Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the Zyxel Device.

Host Name

This is the Zyxel Device system name. It is used for identification.

Model Name

This is the model number of your Zyxel Device.

Serial Number

This is the serial number of the Zyxel Device.

Firmware Version

This is the current version of the firmware inside the Zyxel Device.

System Uptime

This displays how long the Zyxel Device has been running since it last started up. The Zyxel Device starts up when you plug it in, when you restart it, or when you reset it.

Interface Uptime

This displays how long the WAN interface is up since it last started up.

WAN Information

Name

This is the Ethernet WAN interface name.

Encapsulation

This is the current encapsulation method.

IP Address

This is the current IP address of the Zyxel Device in the WAN.

IP Subnet Mask

This is the current subnet mask in the WAN.

Primary DNS Server

This is the first DNS server address assigned by the ISP.

Secondary DNS Server

This is the second DNS server address assigned by the ISP.

LAN Information

IP Address

This is the current IP address of the Zyxel Device in the LAN.

Subnet Mask

This is the current subnet mask in the LAN.

DHCP

This displays what DHCP services the Zyxel Device is providing to the LAN. The possible values are:

Server – The Zyxel Device is a DHCP server in the LAN. It assigns IP addresses to other computers in the LAN.

Relay – The Zyxel Device acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients.

Disable – The Zyxel Device is not providing any DHCP services to the LAN.

MAC Address

This is the WAN Ethernet adapter MAC (Media Access Control) address of your Zyxel Device.

WLAN Information

MAC Address

This is the WiFi adapter MAC (Media Access Control) address of the WiFi interface.

Status

This displays whether WiFi is activated.

SSID

This is the descriptive name used to identify the Zyxel Device in a WiFi network.

Channel

This is the channel number currently used by the WiFi interface.

Security

This displays the type of security mode the WiFi interface is using in the WiFi network.

802.11 Mode

This displays the type of 802.11 mode the WiFi interface is using in the WiFi network.
