You may use this method if your ZyWALL supports SSH connections.

1 Connect your computer to one of the Ethernet ports.
2 Use a SSH client program to access the ZyWALL. If this is your first login, use the 

default values in 

. Make sure your computer 

IP address is in the same subnet, unless you are accessing the ZyWALL through one or 
more routers.

Use the administrator username and password. If this is your first login, use the default values. 
in some ZyWALLs you may not need to enter the user name. 

The ZyWALL automatically logs you out of the management interface after five minutes of 
inactivity. If this happens to you, simply log back in again. Use the sys stdio command to 
extend the idle timeout. For example, the ZyWALL automatically logs you out of the 
management interface after 60 minutes of inactivity after you use the sys stdio 60 
command.
