P-2802HW(L)-Ix Series Quick Start Guide
1
Overview
The P-2802HW(L)-Ix is a router which combines high-speed VDSL Internet access, a built-
in switch, a firewall and high-speed wireless networking capability. You can set the first
Ethernet port as a WAN port. See the WAN chapter in the User’s Guide for more
information.
It has phone ports for making calls over the Internet (Voice over IP or VoIP). The P-
2802HWL can use regular phone services through regular (PSTN) phone lines.
When you make a phone call over the Internet, you use a telephone (A) to dial the number.
The telephone is connected to your P-2802HW(L)-Ix (C), which provides Internet access.
When you want to use the Internet, you use your computer (B) which is connected to your
P-2802HW(L)-Ix.
When you want to configure the ZyXEL Device, you also use your computer.
This guide includes the following sections:
•Hardware Connections - shows you how to connect the P-2802HW(L)-Ix to your network,
your computer and telephone(s).
•Initial Configuration - shows you how to configure your P-2802HW(L)-Ix to access the Inter-
net, set up a wireless network and register a SIP account on the P-2802HW(L)-Ix.
•Regular Phone Line Setup (P-2802HWL only) - explains how to set up regular phone ser-
vices that do not use the Internet.
•Making Phone Calls - shows you how to make Voice over Internet (VoIP) or regular phone-
calls through the P-2802HW(L)-Ix.

or receiving data through the corresponding ETHERNET port.
•TheDSL light stays on if a physical DSL connection exists and blinks
when transmitting data. The INTERNET light stays on when Internet
access is available.
•ThePHONE lights stay on when your SIP account is registered and they
blink if the receiver is off the hook or there is an incoming call.

adapter.
• If you have a laptop, use either a wireless USB adapter or a wireless CardBus card. These
are built into many laptops.
To add a computer to your network you need to configure your wireless-enabled computer
with the same SSID, channel and security settings as the P-2802HW(L)-Ix.

Alternatively, use OTIST, ZyXEL’s One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology (OTIST)
feature. It allows you to automatically configure the SSID and WPA-PSK on all OTIST-
equipped wireless clients within range of the P-2802HW(L)-Ix. See the wireless LAN
chapter in the User’s Guide for more information on OTIST.
3.3 Configure VoIP
Click VOICE OVER INTERNET
SETUP.
"You should have the
information provided
by your VoIP service
provider.
Enter the information provided by your VoIP service provider. Keep the default settings if
your VoIP service provider did not provide some information. If you have a SIP account like
[e-mail], the SIP Number is 1234567, and the SIP Service Domain is
VoIP-provider.com. When you are done, the PHONE light should be on. Close the wizard
and the main screen opens.
4 Regular Phone Line Setup (P-2802HWL-Ix only)
When one of your VoIP accounts is registered, the P-2802HWL-Ix normally uses the
Internet (not the regular phone line) to make phone calls. Follow the directions in this
section to make sure you can also use the regular phone line while one of your VoIP
accounts is registered.
"When the P-2802HWL-Ix does not have power, the phone(s) connected to
the PHONE port(s) can still be used for making calls. Only one phone can
be in use at a time.

In the main screen, click VoIP >
PSTN Line.
PSTN Line Pre-fix Number: Enter a
prefix (up to seven numbers) you dial
before you dial the phone number, if
you want to make a regular phone
call while one of your SIP accounts is
registered. These numbers tell the P-
2802HWL-Ix that you want to make a
regular phone call.
Relay to PSTN Line: Enter phone
numbers for regular phone calls (that do not use the Internet) that you always want to dial
without the prefix number. For example, enter emergency phone numbers here.
Click Apply.
5 Making Phone Calls
Follow these directions to make calls over the Internet.
• If you want to dial a SIP number that only uses numbers (for example, “12345”), dial the
number on your phone’s keypad. You can also set up a speed-dial entry, if you want. See
the User’s Guide for instructions.
• If you want to dial a SIP number that uses letters or if you want to make a peer-to-peer call,
set up a speed-dial entry first. See the User’s Guide for instructions. Then, dial the speed-
dial number to make the call.
• If you want to call regular telephone numbers, use your VoIP service provider’s dialing plan.
Follow these directions to make phone calls that do not use the Internet.
• If you set up the phone number in Section 4, just dial the phone number.
• If the PHONE light is off, just dial the phone number.
• Otherwise, first dial the prefix you set in Section 4, and then dial the phone number.
Follow these directions to call the phone that is connected to the P-2802HW(L)-Ix.
• Use your VoIP service provider’s dialing plan, or just dial the phone number.
