The following table describes the feature differences of the Zyxel Device by model.
The Zyxel Device is an outdoor LTE (Long Term Evolution) router that supports (but not limited to) the
following:
• Gigabit Ethernet connection
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server
• NAT (Network Address Translation)
• DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
• Port Forwarding/Triggering
• ALG (Application Layer Gateway)
• Embedded Bridge/Router mode
• Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) for the first APN (Access Point Name)
• Static/Dynamic Route setting for RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
• Remote Management under Bridge mode
• LTE7461-M602
• LTE7480-S905

• Uplink: 50 Mbps
TDD-LTE config. #2
• Downlink: 573 Mbps
• Uplink: 15.1 Mbps
Note: These are the theoretical downlink and uplink rates. LTE speed is
affected by strength of signal, network congestion, LTE band(s) or
frequency(-ies) to which your Zyxel Device is connected, and so forth.

• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
• Firewall that uses Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) technology
• Protects against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks
• Filter of LAN MAC address, LAN IP address and URLs
• Local and remote device management
• Firmware upgrade via Web Configurator
The embedded Web-based Configurator enables straightforward management and maintenance. Just
insert the SIM card (with an active data plan) and make the hardware connections. See the Quick Start
Guide for how to do the hardware installation, wall mounting, Internet setup and turning on/off WiFi
(optional).
1.2 Application for the Zyxel Device
Wireless WAN
TheZyxel Device can connect to the Internet through a 2G/3G/4G LTE SIM card to access a wireless
WAN connection. Just insert a SIM card into the SIM card slot at the bottom of the Zyxel Device.
Note: You must insert the SIM card into the card slot before turning on the Zyxel Device.
Internet Access
Your Zyxel Device provides shared Internet access by connecting to an LTE network. A computer can
connect to the Zyxel Device’s PoE injector for configuration via the Web Configurator.
Figure 1 Zyxel Device’s Internet Access Application
1.3 Manage the Zyxel Device
Use the Web Configurator for management of the Zyxel Device using a (supported) web browser.

1.4 Good Habits for Managing the Zyxel Device
Do the following things regularly to make the Zyxel Device more secure and to manage the Zyxel
Device more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Refer to Section 25.2 on page
144. Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the Zyxel Device becomes unstable or
even crashes. If you forget your password to access the Web Configurator, you will have to reset the
Zyxel Device to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would
not have to totally re-configure the Zyxel Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.
Write down any information your ISP provides you.
1.5 Front and Bottom Panels
The LED indicators are located on bottom panel.

The following table describes the items on the bottom panel.
1.6 Using the WiFi Button
The wireless network is turned off by default.
You can use the wireless function for 30 minutes by default after the Zyxel Device finishes rebooting or
when the wireless function is turned on.
Figure 3 WiFi Button
To turn on WiFi:
1Make sure the POWER LED is on and not blinking.
2Press the WiFi button for more than 5 seconds and release it.
Once WiFi is turned on, the LED blinks amber.
To activate WPS (WiFi must be already on):
1Press the WiFi button for more than 1 second but less than 5 seconds and release it (pressing more than
5 seconds will turn off WiFi).
2Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the Zyxel Device.
To turn off the wireless network, press the WiFi button for more than 5 seconds.
The amber LED turns off.

LAN Connect a computer via the PoE injector for configuration.
Connect the PoE injector to a power outlet to start the device.
WiFi Press the WLAN button for more than five seconds to enable the wireless function.
WPS After the wireless function is enabled, press the WLAN button for more than one second but less
than five seconds to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the device and a WPS-
compatible client.
Reset Press the button for more than five seconds to return the Zyxel Device to the factory defaults.
Reboot Press the RESET button for more than 2 seconds but less than 5 seconds, it will cause the system to
reboot.
SIM card Insert a micro-SIM card into the slot with the chip facing down and the beveled corner in the top
left corner.

Note: Use the WiFi function of the Zyxel Device for configuration (for example, connect to the
LTE Ally app of your mobile device to find the optimal LTE signal strength and manage
your Zyxel Device).
1.7 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button of the Zyxel Device as shown in the following figure to reload the factory-default configuration
file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be
reset to the default password shown on the device label and the IP address will be reset to 192.168.1.1.
Figure 4 Reset Button
1Make sure the Zyxel Device is connected to power and POWER LED is on.
2To set the Zyxel Device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for 5 seconds.
Note: If you press the RESET button for more than 2 seconds but less than 5 seconds, it will
cause the system to reboot.

CHAPTER 2
The Web Configurator
2.1 Overview
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy Zyxel Device setup
and management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 and later versions or Mozilla Firefox 3
and later versions or Safari 2.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768
pixels.
In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your Zyxel Device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in
Windows 10.
• JavaScript (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
2.1.1 Access the Web Configurator
1Make sure your Zyxel Device hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2Launch your web browser. If the Zyxel Device does not automatically re-direct you to the login screen,
go to http://192.168.1.1.
3A password screen displays. Select the language you prefer (upper right).
4To access the Web Configurator and manage the Zyxel Device, type the default username admin and
the randomly assigned default password (see the Zyxel Device label) in the Login screen and click Login.
If you have changed the password, enter your password and click Login.
