1.2 How It Works
The following figure shows how the ZyXEL Device works:
• When you make a phone call over the Internet, you use a telephone (A) to dial
the number. The P-2701RL supports one telephone connection, and the P-2702R
supports two telephone connections.
The telephone is connected to your ZyXEL Device (C), which is connected to the
broadband modem or router that provides Internet access (D).
• When you want to use the Internet, you use your computer (B). Your computer
is connected to your ZyXEL Device (C), which is connected to the broadband
modem or router that provides Internet access (D).
You also use your computer to configure the ZyXEL Device.
•P-2701RL Only (E): Use your telephone (A) to make calls over the regular
telephone network (PSTN or Public Switched Telephone Network).

3In the Time Zone Setting screen, select Enable NTP Client Update if you want to
maintain the ZyXEL Device’s internal clock by synchronizing it with a time server.
If you do this, choose a Time Zone and an NTP Server closest to your location
from their respective menus, then click Next to save your settings and go to the
next screen.
4The WAN Interface Setting screen has different fields, depending on the type of
Internet access your ISP uses.
You can choose either Static IP,Dynamic IP, or PPPoE:
•Static IP means the ISP has assigned your Internet access account a single
IP address that will never change, regardless of whether you are online or
not. See Section 2.2.1 on page 10 for details.
•Dynamic IP allows the ISP to randomly assign your ZyXEL Device an IP
address each time it requests a WAN (or Internet) session. The IP address is
released as soon as the ZyXEL Device disconnects from the ISP. See Section
2.2.2 on page 10 for details.
•PPPoE emulates a standard dial-up connection over the Internet and requires
that each time the ZyXEL Device requests a WAN session you log in with your
ISP-assigned user name and password. See Section 2.2.3 on page 10 for
details.
Choose the setting required by your ISP then follow the instructions in the
appropriate section below. If you are not sure which setting to use then contact
your ISP.
