You need to create an account before you can register your device and 
activate the services at myZyXEL.com.

You can directly create a myZyXEL.com account, register your ZyWALL and activate a 
service using the Registration screen. Alternatively, go to 

http://www.myZyXEL.com

 with

To activate a service on a ZyWALL, you need to access myZyXEL.com via 
that ZyWALL. 

The ZyWALL can use anti-virus, IDP/AppPatrol (Intrusion Detection and Prevention and 
application patrol), SSL VPN, and content filtering subscription services. 

• The ZyWALL’s anti-virus packet scanner uses the signature files on the ZyWALL to 

detect virus files. After the service is activated, the ZyWALL can download the up-to-date 
signature files from the update server (

http://myupdate.zywall.zyxel.com

).

• The IDP and application patrol features use the IDP/AppPatrol signature files on the 

ZyWALL. IDP detects malicious or suspicious packets and responds immediately. 
Application patrol conveniently manages the use of various applications on the network. 
After the service is activated, the ZyWALL can download the up-to-date signature files 
from the update server (

http://myupdate.zywall.zyxel.com

).
