OS FAQ
1. How do I access the P-660R-Tx v3 Command Line Interface (CLI)?
The Command Line Interface is for the Administrator use only, and it could be
accessed via telnet session.
Begin telnet session:
(1) Choose “start” on your computer →”run”
(2) Input “cmd” and enter
(3) Input “telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” ( note that there is a space between the two),
(4) Enter to login in the CLI.
Note: It is protected by super password, „1234‟ by factory default.
2. How do I update the firmware and configuration file?
You can do this if you access the P-660R-Tx v3 as Administrator. You can
upload the firmware and configuration file to P-660R-Tx v3 from Web
Condigurator, or using FTP software. You CAN NOT upload the firmware and
configuration file via Telnet because the Telnet connection will be dropped
during uploading the firmware. Please do not power off the router right after the
FTP uploading is finished, the router will upload the firmware to its flash at this
moment.
(1) Update on web configuration page, Advanced Setup，
Maintenance -> Firmware
You can check your current firmware version and upgrade the firmware of
the Router in this page. Make sure the firmware you want to use is on the
local hard drive of the computer. Click on Browse to browse the local hard
drive and locate the firmware to be used for upgrade.
(2) Update firmware with FTP
a) Use the FTP client program in your PC to login to your P-660R-Tx v3.
Note that it is protected by user name and password, “admin” and
“1234” by default.
b) To update firmware, you need to use the command: put xx.bin ras for
firmware or put xx.rom rom-0 for rom file.
xx.bin means the firmware on your local hard drive and xx.rom means
rom file on your local hard drive. You can simply draw them into the
window.
Note: There may be firmware that could not be upgraded from Web
Configurator. In this case, ZyXEL will prepare special Upload Software

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

for you. Please read the firmware release note carefully when you want to
upload a new firmware.
3. How do I restore P-660R-Tx v3 configurations by using TFTP client
program via LAN?
a. Use the TELNET client program in your PC to login to your P-660R-Tx
v3.
b. Enter CI command 'sys stdio 0' disable Stdio idle timeout
c. To backup the P-660R-Tx v3 configurations, use TFTP client program
to get file 'rom-0' from the P-660R-Tx v3.
d. To restore the P-660R-Tx v3 configurations, use the TFTP client
program to put your configuration in file rom-0 in the P-660R-Tx v3.
4. What should I do if I forget the system password?
In case you forget the system password, you can erase the current
configuration and restore factory defaults this way:
Use the RESET button on the rear panel of P-660R-Tx v3 to reset the router.
After the router is reset, the LAN IP address will be reset to '192.168.1.1', the
password will be reset to „1234‟.
5. How to use the Reset button?
a. Turn your P-660R-Tx v3 on. Make sure the POWER led is on (not
blinking)
b. Press the RESET button for ten seconds and then release it. If the
POWER LED begins to blink, the default configuration has been
restored and the P-660R-Tx v3 restarts.
6. What is SUA? When should I use SUA?
SUA (Single User Account) is a unique feature supported by P-660R-Tx v3
router which allows multiple people to access Internet concurrently for the cost
of a single user account.
When P-660R-Tx v3 acting as SUA receives a packet from a local client
destined for the outside Internet, it replaces the source address in the IP
packet header with its own address and the source port in the TCP or UDP
header with another value chosen out of a local pool. It then recomputed the
appropriate header checksums and forwards the packet to the Internet as if it
is originated from P-660R-Tx v3 using the IP address assigned by ISP. When
reply packets from the external Internet are received by P-660R-Tx v3, the
original IP source address and TCP/UDP source port numbers are written into

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes
8
All contents copyright © 2008 ZyXEL Communications Corporation.
the destination fields of the packet (since it is now moving in the opposite
direction), the checksums are recomputed, and the packet is delivered to its
true destination. This is because SUA keeps a table of the IP addresses and
port numbers of the local systems currently using it.
7. What is the difference between SUA and Full Feature NAT?
When you edit a remote node in Web Configurator, Advanced Setup,
Advanced Setup -> NAT -> Number of IPs, there will be two options for you:
Single
Multiple
Single here means SUA (Single User Account). In previous versions is a NAT
set with 2 rules: Many-to-One and Server. With SUA, 'visible' servers had to
be mapped to different ports, since the servers share only one global IP.
The P-660R-Tx v3 now has Multiple, stands for Full Feature NAT, which
supports five types of IP/Port mapping: One to One, Many to One, Many to
Many Overload, Many to Many No Overload and Server. You can make special
application when you select Multiple. For example: With multiple global IP
addresses, multiple severs using the same port (e.g., FTP servers using port
21/20) are allowed on the LAN for outside access.
The P-660R-Tx v3 supports NAT sets on a remote node basis. They are
reusable, but only one set is allowed for each remote node. The P-660R-Tx v3
supports 8 sets since there are 8 remote nodes.
8. Is it possible to access a server running behind SUA from the outside
Internet? How can I do it?
Yes, it is possible because P-660R-Tx v3 delivers the packet to the local server
by looking up to a SUA server table. Therefore, to make a local server
accessible to the outside users, the port number and the inside IP address of
the server must be configured. (You can configure it in Web Configurator,
Advanced Setup, Advanced Setup -> NAT -> DMZ.
9. When do I need select Multiple IP in NAT (Full Feature NAT)?
Make multiple local servers on the LAN accessible from outside with
multiple global IP addresses
With Single IP (SUA), 'visible' servers had to be mapped to different ports,
since the servers share only one global IP. But when you select Multiple IPs

P-660R-Tx v3 Series Support Notes

(Full Feature), you can make multiple local servers (mapping the same port or
not) on the LAN accessible from outside with multiple global IP addresses.
Support Non-NAT Friendly Applications
Some servers providing Internet applications such as some MIRC servers do
not allow users to login using the same IP address. Thus, users on the same
network can not login to the same server simultaneously. In this case it is
better to use Many-to-Many No Overload or One-to-One NAT mapping types,
thus each user login to the server using a unique global IP address.
10. What IP/Port mapping does Multi-NAT support?
There is a Virtual Server column in Advanced Setup-> NAT. We can
configure a IP/Port mapping table there.
Multi-NAT supports five types of IP/port mapping: One to One, Many to One,
Many to Many Overload, Many to Many No Overload and Server. The details
of the mapping between ILAand IGA are described as below. Here we define
the local IP addresses as the Internal Local Addresses (ILA) and the global IP
addresses as the Inside Global Address (IGA),
One to One: In One-to-One mode, the P-660R-Tx v3 maps one ILA to
one IGA.
Many to One: In Many-to-One mode, the P-660R-Tx v3 maps multiple
ILA to one IGA. This is equivalent to SUA (i.e., PAT, port address
translation).
Many to Many Overload: In Many-to-Many Overload mode, the
P-660R-Tx v3 maps the multiple ILA to shared IGA.
Many One-to-One: In Many One-to-One mode, the P-660R-Tx v3
maps each ILA to unique IGA.
Server: In Server mode, the P-660R-Tx v3 maps multiple inside servers
to one global IP address. This allows us to specify multiple servers of
different types behind the NAT for outside access. Note that if you want
to map each server to one unique IGA please use the One-to-One
mode.

11. How many network users can the SUA/NAT support?
The P-660R-Tx v3 does not limit the number of the users but the number of
the NAT sessions. The P-660R-Tx v3 supports 1024 sessions that you can use
the 'ip nat session' command in CLI to see. You can also use
„ip nat hashTable wanif0‟ to view the current active NAT sessions.
12. How can I protect against IP spoofing attacks?
The P-660R-Tx v3's filter sets provide a means to protect against IP spoofing
attacks. The basic scheme is according to your need to set different filter
type.There are three types of filter: IP/MAC Filter, Application Filter, and URL
Filter. You can use IP/MAC filter to decide the input data or output one to be
filtered or you may simply set filter conditions depend on your application or
URL.

Product FAQ
1. How can I manage P-660R-Tx v3?
English Web GUI for Local and Remote management
CLI (Command-line interface)
Telnet support (Administrator Password Protected ) for remote
configuration change and status monitoring
FTP sever, firmware upgrade and configuration backup and restore are
supported(Administrator Password Protected)
2. What is the default password for Web Configurator?
By factory default the password for P-660R-Tx v3 Web Configurator is 1234.
You can login in as an administrator. You can change the password after you
logging in the Web Configurator.
Please record your new password whenever you change it. The system
will lock you out if you have forgotten your password.
3. How do I know the P-660R-Tx v3's WAN IP address assigned by the
ISP?
You can view " IP Address<from ISP>: x.x.x.x" shown in Web Configurator
„Status->Device Info ->WAN‟ to check this IP address.
4. What is Traffic Shaping？
Traffic Shaping allocates the bandwidth to WAN dynamically and aims at
boosting the efficiency of the bandwidth. If there are several VCs in the
P-660R-Tx v3 but only one VC activated at one time, the P-660R-Tx v3
allocates all the Bandwidth to the VC and the VC gets full bandwidth. If another
VCs are activated later, the bandwidth is yield to other VCs after ward.
5. Why do we perform traffic shaping in the P-660R-Tx v3?
The P-660R-Tx v3 must manage traffic fairly and provide bandwidth allocation
for different sorts of applications, such as voice, video, and data. All
applications have their own natural bit rate. Large data transactions have a
fluctuating natural bit rate. The P-660R-Tx v3 is able to support variable traffic
among different virtual connections. Certain traffic may be discarded if the
virtual connection experiences congestion. Traffic shaping defines a set of
actions taken by the P-660R-Tx v3 to avoid congestion; traffic shaping takes
measures to adapt to unpredictable fluctuations in traffic flows and other
problems among virtual connections.

6. What do the parameters (PCR, SCR, and MBS) mean?
Traffic shaping parameters (PCR, SCR, MBS) can be set in Web Configurator,
Interface Setup, Interface Setup -> Internet -> QoS:
Peak Cell Rate (PCR): The maximum bandwidth allocated to this connection.
The VC connection throughput is limited by PCR.
Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR): The least guaranteed bandwidth of a VC.
When there are multi-VCs on the same line, the VC throughput is guaranteed
by SCR.
Maximum Burst Size(MBS): The amount of cells transmitted through this
VC at the Peak Cell Rate before yielding to other VCs. Total bandwidth of the
line is dedicated to single VC if there is only one VC on the line. However, as
the other VC asking the bandwidth, the MBS defines the maximum number of
cells transmitted via this VC with Peak Cell rate before yielding to other VCs.
The P-660R-Tx v3 holds the parameters for shaping the traffic among its
virtual channels. If you do not need traffic shaping, please set SCR = 0, MBS =
0 and PCR as the maximum value according to the line rate (for example, 2.3
Mbps line rate will result PCR as 5424 cell/sec.)
7. What do the ATM QoS Types (CBR, UBR, VBR，rtVBR, nrtVBR)
mean?
Constant bit rate (CBR): An ATM bandwidth-allocation service that requires
the user to determine a fixed bandwidth requirement at the time the connection
is set up so that the data can be sent in a steady stream. CBR service is often
used when transmitting fixed-rate uncompressed video.
Unspecified bit rate (UBR):An ATM bandwidth-allocation service that does
not guarantee any throughput levels and uses only available bandwidth. UBR
is often used when transmitting data that can tolerate delays, such as e-mail.
Variable bit rate (VBR): An ATM bandwidth-allocation service that allows
users to specify a throughput capacity (i.e., a peak rate) and a sustained rate
but data is not sent evenly. You can select VBR for burst traffic and bandwidth
sharing with other applications. It contains two subclasses:
Non-real time variable bit rate (nrtVBR) and Real time variable bit rate
(rtVBR).

8. The P-660R-Tx v3 supports Bridge and Router mode, what's the
difference between them?
When the ISP limits some specific computers to access Internet that means
only the traffic to/from these computers will be forwarded and the other will be
filtered. In this case, we use bridge mode which works as an ADSL modem to
connect to the ISP. The ISP will generally give one Internet account and limit
only one computer to access the Internet.
For most Internet users having multiple computers want to share an Internet
account for Internet access, they have to add another Internet sharing device,
like a router. In this case, we use the router mode which works as a general
Router plus an ADSL Modem.
9. How do I know I am using PPPoE?
PPPoE requires a user account to login to the provider's server. If you need to
configure a user name and password on your computer to connect to the ISP
you are probably using PPPoE. If you are simply connected to the Internet
when you turn on your computer, you probably are not. You can also check
your ISP or the information sheet given by the ISP. Please choose PPPoE as
the encapsulation type in the P-660R-Tx v3 if the ISP uses PPPoE.
10. Why does my provider use PPPoE?
PPPoE emulates a familiar Dial-Up connection. It allows your ISP to provide
services using their existing network configuration over the broadband
connections. Besides, PPPoE supports a broad range of existing applications
and service including authentication, accounting, secure access and
configuration management.
11. When do I need to choose dynamic IP?
If your ISP provides you an IP address automatically, typically used for Cable
service. In this case your computer gets an IP dynamically assigned by DHCP.
To use this mode, you need to do some corresponding configurations on the
web page: Interface Setup -> Internet -> Encapsulation:

12. What is DDNS?
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static
hostname, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various
locations on the Internet. To use the service, you must first apply an account
from several free Web servers such as http://www.dyndns.org/.
Without DDNS, we always tell the users to use the WAN IP of the P-660R-Tx
v3 to reach our internal server. It is inconvenient for the users if this IP is
dynamic. With DDNS supported by the P-660R-Tx v3, you apply a DNS name
(e.g., www.zyxel.com.tw) for your server (e.g., Web server) from a DDNS
server. The outside users can always access the web server using the
www.zyxel.com.tw regardless of the WAN IP of the P-660R-Tx v3.
When the ISP assigns the P-660R-Tx v3 a new IP, the P-660R-Tx v3 updates
this IP to DDNS server so that the server can update its IP-to-DNS entry. Once
the IP-to-DNS table in the DDNS server is updated, the DNS name for your
web server (i.e., www.zyxel.com.tw) is still usable.
13. When do I need DDNS service?
When you want your internal server to be accessed by using DNS name rather
than using the dynamic IP address we can use the DDNS service. The DDNS
server allows to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. Whenever
the ISP assigns you a new IP, the P-660R-Tx v3 sends this IP to the DDNS
server for its updates.
14. What is DDNS wildcard? Does the P-660R-Tx v3 support DDNS
wildcard?
Some DDNS servers support the wildcard feature which allows the hostname,
*.yourhost.dyndns.org, to be aliased to the same IP address as
yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful when there are multiple servers
inside and you want users to be able to use things such as
www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.
Yes, the P-660R-Tx v3 supports DDNS wildcard that http://www.dyndns.org/
supports. And you can choose to active or inactive this feature on the web
configuration page. When using wildcard, you simply enter
yourhost.dyndns.org on the web configuration page.

15. Can the P-660R-Tx v3's SUA (Simple IP) handle IPSec packets sent by
the IPSec gateway?
Yes, the P-660R-Tx v3's SUA can handle IPSec ESP Tunneling mode. We
know when packets go through SUA; SUA will change the source IP address
and source port for the host. To pass IPSec packets, SUAmust understand the
ESP packet with protocol number 50; replace the source IP address of the
IPSec gateway to the router's WAN IP address. However, SUA should not
change the source port of the UDP packets which are used for key
managements. Because the remote gateway checks this source port during
connections, the port thus is not allowed to be changed.
16. How do I setup my P-660R-Tx v3 for routing IPSec packets over SUA?
For outgoing IPSec tunnels, no extra setting is required.
For forwarding the inbound IPSec ESP tunnel,A 'Default' server set is required.
You could configure it in Web Configurator, Advanced Setup, Advanced Setup
-> NAT -> DMZ:
Note: First we should set Number of IPs as Single for SUA use.
It is because SUAmakes your LAN appear as a single machine to the outside
world. LAN users are invisible to outside users. So, to make an internal server
for outside access, we must specify the service port and the LAN IP of this
server in Web configuration page. Thus SUAis able to forward the incoming
packets to the requested service behind SUAand the outside users access the
server using the P-660R-Tx v3's WAN IP address. So, we have to configure
the internal IPSec client as a default server (unspecified service port) when it
acts a server gateway.

17. What is IP Policy Routing (IPPR)?
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router
takes the shortest path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides
a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter the packet
forwarding based on the policy defined by the network administrator.
Policy-based routing is applied to incoming packets on a per interface basis,
prior to the normal routing. Network administrators can use IPPR to distribute
traffic among multiple paths. For example, if a network has both the Internet
and remote node connections, we can route the Web packets to the Internet
using one policy and route the FTP packets to the remote LAN using another
policy. See the figure below.
Use IPPR to distribute traffic among multiple paths
Benefits
Source-Based Routing -Network administrators can use policy-based
routing to direct traffic from different users through different connections.
Quality of Service (QoS)- Organizations can differentiate traffic by setting the
precedence or TOS (Type of Service) values in the IP header at the periphery
of the network to enable the backbone to prioritize traffic.
Cost Savings- IPPR allows organizations to distribute interactive traffic on
high-bandwidth, high-cost path while using low-path for batch traffic.
Load Sharing- Network administrators can use IPPR to distribute traffic
among multiple paths.

18. How does the IPPR work?
A policy defines the matching criteria and the action to take when a packet
meets the criteria. The action is taken only when all the criteria are met. The
criteria include the source address and port, IP protocol (ICMP, UDP, TCP,
etc), destination address and port, TOS and precedence (fields in the IP
header) and length. The inclusion of length criterion is to differentiate between
interactive and bulk traffic. Interactive applications, e.g., Telnet, tend to have
short packets, while bulk traffic, e.g., file transfer, tends to have large packets.
The actions that can be taken include routing the packet to a different gateway
(and hence the outgoing interface) and the TOS and precedence fields in the
IP header. IPPR follows the existing packet filtering facility of ZyNOS in style
and in implementation. The policies are divided into sets, where related
policies are grouped together. A use defines the policies before applying them
to an interface or a remote node, in the same fashion as the filters. There are
12 policy sets with 6 policies in each set.
19. What is CWMP?
P660R Tx V3 supports TR-069 Amendment 1 (CPE WAN Management
Protocol Release 2.0) and TR-069 Amendment 2 (CPE WAN Management
Protocol v1.1, Release 3.0).
TR-069 is a protocol that defines how your ZyXEL Device (ZD) can be
managed via a management server (MS) such as ZyXEL‟s Vantage Access.
An administrator can use a management server to remotely set up the ZyXEL
device, modify settings, perform firmware upgrades as well as monitor and
diagnose the ZyXEL device. All you have to do is enable the device to be
managed by a management server and specify the management server IP
address or domain name and username and password.
