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

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

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

(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.
