• Use  the Telnet screen (see 

) to configure through which 

interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use Telnet to manage the ZyXEL 
Device. A Telnet connection is prioritized by the ZyXEL Device over other remote 
management sessions. 

• Use the FTP screen (see 

interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to 
manage the ZyXEL Device. You can use FTP to upload the latest firmware for example.

• Use the WWW screen (see 

) to configure through which 

interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use the Web Browser to manage the 
ZyXEL Device. 

• Use the SNMP screen (see 

) to configure through which 

interface(s) and from which IP address(es) a network systems manager can access the 
ZyXEL Device. 

Telnet is short for Telecommunications Network, which is a client-side protocol that enables 
you to access a device over the network. 

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows you to upload or download a file or several files to and 
from a remote location using a client or the command console. 

The World Wide Web allows you to access files hosted in a remote server. For example, you 
can view text files (usually referred to as ‘pages’) using your web browser via HyperText 
Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite 
used for exchanging management information between network devices. 
Your ZyXEL Device supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to 
manage and monitor the ZyXEL Device through the network. The ZyXEL Device supports 
SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an 
SNMP management operation. .
