Introducing the ZyWALL
The ZyWALL 70 is the ideal secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the LAN. By
integrating NAT, firewall, VPN capability and wireless LAN, ZyXEL’s ZyWALL 70 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.

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 below etc.; see your User’s Guide for details).
LAN Connect a computer to this port with an Ethernet cable. This port is auto-negotiating (can
connect at 10 or 100Mbps) and auto-crossover (automatically adjust to the type of
Ethernet cable you use (straight-through or crossover)).
WAN-1/2 Connect your cable/DSL modem to this port with the cable that came with your modem.
DMZ 10/100M Connect publicly accessible servers (Web, FTP, etc.) to these ports to make them visible
to the outside world. Use Ethernet cables to connect these ports to computers or
switches.
DIAL BACKUP
Only connect this port if you want to set up a backup WAN connection; see your User’s
Guide for details.
Connect the 9-pin female end of your modem or TA cable to this port and the other end
to your modem or TA.
CONSOLE Only connect this port if you want to configure the ZyWALL using the SMT via console
port; see your User’s Guide for details.
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.

2 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.
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 Windows XP) and click Properties.

(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.

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.
