You can attach a 3G wireless adapter to the USB port and set the ZyXEL Device to

use this 3G connection as your WAN or a backup when the wired WAN connection

fails.

•

Use the

Broadband

screen to view, remove or add a WAN interface. You can

also configure the WAN settings on the ZyXEL Device for Internet access

(

Section 5.2 on page 98

).

•

Use the

3G Backup

screen to configure 3G WAN connection (

Encapsulation Method

Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower

layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the

same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your

ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), they

should also provide a username and password (and service name) for user

authentication.

WAN IP Address

The WAN IP address is an IP address for the ZyXEL Device, which makes it

accessible from an outside network. It is used by the ZyXEL Device to

communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or

dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the ZyXEL Device tries to access the

Internet.

If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the

subnet mask and DNS server IP address(es).

ATM

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a LAN and WAN networking technology that

provides high-speed data transfer. ATM uses fixed-size packets of information

called cells. With ATM, a high QoS (Quality of Service) can be guaranteed. ATM

uses a connection-oriented model and establishes a virtual circuit (VC) between

two endpoints before the actual data exchange begins.

3G

3G (Third Generation) is a digital, packet-switched wireless technology. Bandwidth

usage is optimized as multiple users share the same channel and bandwidth is

only allocated to users when they send data. It allows fast transfer of voice and

non-voice data and provides broadband Internet access to mobile devices.

Before You Begin

You need to know your Internet access settings such as encapsulation and WAN IP

address. Get this information from your ISP.

The Broadband Screen

The ZyXEL Device must have a WAN interface to allow users to use the Ethernet

WAN port or DSL port to access the Internet. Use the

Broadband

screen to view,

remove or add a WAN interface.

Note: The ATM and Ethernet layer-2 interfaces cannot work at the same time.

Click

Network Setting > Broadband

. The following screen opens.

This is the index number of the connection.

Name

This is the service name of the connection.

Type

This shows the type of interface used by this connection.

Mode

This shows whether the connection is in routing mode or bridge mode.

Encapsulation

This shows the method of encapsulation used by this connection.

VPI

This is the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI).

VCI

This is the Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI).

5.2.1

Add/Edit Internet Connection

Use this screen to configure a WAN connection. The screen varies depending on

the encapsulation and WAN service type you select.

IGMP Proxy

This shows whether IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is

activated or not for this connection. IGMP is not available when the

connection uses the bridging service.

NAT

This shows whether NAT is activated or not for this connection. NAT is

not available when the connection uses the bridging service.

Default Gateway

This shows whether the ZyXEL Device uses the interface of this

connection as the system default gateway.

Modify

Click the

Edit

icon to configure the connection.

Click the

Delete

icon to delete this connection from the ZyXEL Device.

A window displays asking you to confirm that you want to delete the

connection.
