different file systems. The file sharing feature on your ZyXEL Device supports File
Allocation Table (FAT), FAT32, and New Technology File System (NTFS).
Common Internet File System
The ZyXEL Device uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file
sharing functions. CIFS compatible computers can access the USB file storage
devices connected to the ZyXEL Device. CIFS protocol is supported on Microsoft
Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to your systems
specifications for CIFS compatibility).

About Printer Server
Print Server
This is a computer or other device which manages one or more printers, and
which sends print jobs to each printer from the computer itself or other devices.
Operating System
An operating system (OS) is the interface which helps you manage a computer.
Common examples are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS or Linux.
TCP/IP
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol) is a set of
communications protocols that most of the Internet runs on.
Port
A port maps a network service such as http to a process running on your
computer, such as a process run by your web browser. When traffic from the
Internet is received on your computer, the port number is used to identify which
process running on your computer it is intended for.
Line Printer Remote Protocol
The Line Printer Remote (LPR) Protocol is software that provides printer spooling
and print-server features using TCP/IP to connect printers and computers on a
network.
Supported OSs
Your operating system must support TCP/IP ports for printing and be compatible
with the LPR protocol.

The LAN Setup Screen
Click
Network Setting > Home Networking
to open the
LAN Setup
screen.
Use this screen to set the Local Area Network IP address and subnet mask of your
ZyXEL Device and configure the DNS server information that the ZyXEL Device
sends to the DHCP client devices on the LAN.
Figure 39
Network Setting > Home Networking > LAN Setup
The following table describes the fields in this screen.
Table 25

LABEL
DESCRIPTION
LAN IP Setup
IP Address
Enter the LAN IP address you want to assign to your ZyXEL Device in
dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.1 (factory default).
IP Subnet Mask
Type the subnet mask of your network in dotted decimal notation, for
example 255.255.255.0 (factory default). Your ZyXEL Device
automatically computes the subnet mask based on the IP address you
enter, so do not change this field unless you are instructed to do so.

7.3
The Static DHCP Screen
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual
computers based on their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC
address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal
characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
7.3.1
Before You Begin
Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to
the
Static DHCP
screen.
DHCP
Select
Enable
to have your ZyXEL Device assign IP addresses, an IP
default gateway and DNS servers to LAN computers and other devices
that are DHCP clients.
If you select
Disable
, you need to manually configure the IP
addresses of the computers and other devices on your LAN.
When DHCP is used, the following fields need to be set.
IP Addressing Values
IP Pool Starting
Address
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP
address pool.
Pool Size
This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool.
DNS Values
DNS Server 1-3
Select
From ISP
if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server
information (and the ZyXEL Device's WAN IP address).
Select
User-Defined
if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter
the DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose
User-Defined
, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0,
User-Defined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
. If you set a second choice to
User-Defined
, and enter the same IP address, the second
User-
Defined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
.
Select
None
if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must
have another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must
have their DNS server addresses manually configured. If you do not
configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer
in order to access it.

DESCRIPTION
Add new static
lease
Click this to add a new static DHCP entry.
#
This is the index number of the entry.
Status
This field displays whether the client is connected to the ZyXEL Device.
Host Name
This field displays the client host name.
MAC Address
The MAC (Media Access Control) or Ethernet address on a LAN (Local
Area Network) is unique to your computer (six pairs of hexadecimal
notation).
A network interface card such as an Ethernet adapter has a hardwired
address that is assigned at the factory. This address follows an industry
standard that ensures no other adapter has a similar address.
IP Address
This field displays the IP address relative to the # field listed above.
Reserve
Select the check box in the heading row to automatically select all
check boxes or select the check box(es) in each entry to have the
ZyXEL Device always assign the selected entry(ies)’s IP address(es) to
the corresponding MAC address(es) (and host name(s)). You can select
up to 128 entries in this table.

The UPnP Screen
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that
uses TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A
UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its
capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can
leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.
See
page 170
for more information on UPnP.
Use the following screen to configure the UPnP settings on your ZyXEL Device.
Click
Network Setting > Home Networking
> Static DHCP > UPnP
to display
the screen shown next.
