DESCRIPTION
IP Address Assignment 
Get automatically from 
DHCP 
Select this option if your ZyXEL Device is using a dynamically assigned IP 
address from a DHCP server each time. 
Note: You must know the IP address assigned to the 
ZyXEL Device (by the DHCP server) to access the 
ZyXEL Device again. 
Use fixed IP address
Select this option if your ZyXEL Device is using a static IP address. When 
you select this option, fill in the fields below.
IP Address
Enter the IP address of your ZyXEL Device in dotted decimal notation. 
Note: If you change the ZyXEL Device's IP address, you 
must use the new IP address if you want to access 
the web configurator again.
IP Subnet Mask
Type the subnet mask.
Gateway IP Address 
Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor 
of your ZyXEL Device that will forward the packet to the destination. On the 
LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your ZyXEL 
Device; over the WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the 
remote nodes.
