AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries User’s Guide

Here are some example uses for which the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries is well suited.

Your AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to 
the DSL or MODEM jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. Computers can connect to the 
AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries’s Ethernet ports (or wirelessly).

AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries’s Router Features

You can also configure firewall and filtering feature on the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries for secure 
Internet access. When the firewall is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is 
blocked unless it is initiated from your network. This means that probes from the outside to your 
network are not allowed, but you can safely browse the Internet and download files.

Use the filtering feature to block access to specific web sites or Internet applications such as MSN or 
Yahoo Messenger. You can also configure IP/MAC filtering rules for incoming or outgoing traffic.

Use QoS to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving priority to certain types of traffic 
and/or to particular computers. For example, you could make sure that the AMG1302/AMG1202-
TSeries gives voice over Internet calls high priority, and/or limit bandwidth devoted to the boss’s 
excessive file downloading.

The ZyXEL Device is a wireless Access Point (AP) for IEEE 802.11b/g/n compliant clients, such as 
notebook computers or PDAs and iPads. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to 
rely on inconvenient Ethernet cables. You can set up a wireless network with WPS (WiFi Protected 
Setup) or manually add a client to your wireless network.
