1 Introducing the ZyWALL
The ZyWALL 2 is the ideal secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the LAN.
By integrating NAT, firewall and VPN capability, ZyXEL’s ZyWALL 2 is a complete security
solution that protects your Intranet and efficiently manages data traffic on your network. The
embedded web configurator is easy to operate and totally independent of the operating system
platform you use.
You should have an Internet account already set up and have been given most of the following
information.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
1. LAN 10/100M 1-

Connect a computer to one of these ports with an Ethernet cable. These ports are auto-
negotiating (can connect at 10 or 100Mbps) and auto-sensing (automatically adjust to
the type of Ethernet cable you use (straight-through or crossover).
2. WAN 10/100M Connect your cable/DSL modem to this port with the cable that came with your modem.
3. POWER 12
VDC
Connect the included power adaptor (use only this adapter) to this power socket.
After you’ve made the connections, connect the power cable to a power supply and look at the front panel LEDs.
CON/AUX switch
CON/AUX port
Only connect this port if you want to configure the ZyWALL using the SMT via console
port or set up a backup WAN connection; see your User’s Guide for details.
Set this switch to the “CON” side to use the CON/AUX port as a console port for local
device configuration and management. Connect the 9-pin male end of the console
cable to the console port of the ZyWALL and the other end to a serial port (COM1,
COM2 or other COM port) on your computer. 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 9600 bps port speed.
Set this switch to the “AUX” side to use the CON/AUX port as an auxiliary dial-up WAN
connection. Use the included CON/AUX converter, with the console cable to connect
the CON/AUX port to your modem or TA.
RESET You only need to use this button if you’ve forgotten the ZyWALL’s password. It returns
the ZyWALL to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1,
terminal emulation settings as described above etc.; see your User’s Guide for details).
2.2 The Front Panel LEDs
The PWR LED turns on when you connect the power. The SYS LED blinks while performing
system testing and then stays on if the testing is successful. The CON/AUX, LAN, and WAN LEDs
turn on if the ports are properly connected.

3 Setting Up Your Computer’s IP Address
Skip this section if your computer is already set up to accept a dynamic IP
address. This is the default for most new computers.
The ZyWALL is already set up to assign your computer an IP address. Use this section to set up
your computer to receive an IP address or assign it a static IP address in the 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254 range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This is necessary to ensure that your
computer can communicate with your ZyWALL.
Your computer must have an Ethernet card and TCP/IP installed. TCP/IP should already be installed
on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems.
3.1 Windows 2000/NT/XP
1. In Windows XP, click start, Control Panel. In Windows 2000/NT, click Start, Settings, Control Panel.
2. In Windows XP, click Network Connections.
In Windows 2000/NT, click Network and Dial-up Connections.
3. Right-click Local Area Connection and then click Properties.
4. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) (under the General tab in Win XP) and click Properties.
5. The Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties screen opens (the
General tab in Windows XP).
- To have your computer assigned a dynamic IP address,
click Obtain an IP address automatically.
-To configure a static IP address, click Use the following IP
Address and fill in the IP address (choose one
from192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254), Subnet mask
(255.255.255.0), and Default gateway (192.168.1.1) fields.

6. Click Advanced. Remove any previously installed gateways
in the IP Settings tab and click OK to go back to the Internet
Protocol TCP/IP Properties screen.
7. Click Obtain DNS server address automatically if you do
not know your DNS server IP address(es).
If you know your DNS server IP address(es), click Use the
following DNS server addresses, and type them in the
Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server fields.
If you have more than two DNS servers, click Advanced, the
DNS tab and then configure them using Add.
8. Click OK to close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties
window.
9. Click OK to close the Local Area Connection Properties
window.
Checking Your Computer’s IP Address
1. In the computer, click Start, (All) Programs, Accessories and then Command Prompt.
2. In the Command Prompt window, type "ipconfig" and then press ENTER. Your computer’s IP address
must be in the correct range (192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254) with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 in order to
communicate with the ZyWALL.
Refer to your User’s Guide for detailed IP address configuration for other Windows and Macintosh
computer operating systems.

purposes. Enter your computer's
"Computer Name".
The Domain Name entry is what is
propagated to the DHCP clients on
the LAN. If you leave this blank, the
domain name obtained by DHCP
from the ISP is used.
Click Next to continue.
Step 2. The second wizard screen has three variations depending on what encapsulation type you
use. Use the information in Internet Account Information to fill in fields.

Choose Ethernet when the WAN
port is used as a regular Ethernet.
Choose from Standard or a
RoadRunner version. You’ll need
User Name, Password and Login
Server IP Address for some
Roadrunner versions.
Click Next to continue.
Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a
dial-up connection. Therefore you’ll
also need a username and
password and possibly the PPPoE
service name. Your ISP will give
you all needed information.
Select Nailed Up Connection if
you do not want the connection to
the PPPoE server to time out.
Otherwise, enter the number of
seconds to elapse before the
ZyWALL disconnects from the
server in the Idle Timeout field.
The default value is 100 seconds.
