P-660HWP-Dx User’s Guide

Firmware Upgrade

Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web site and 

use the web configurator, an FTP or a TFTP tool to put it on the P-

660HWP-Dx.

Configuration Backup & 

Restoration

Make a copy of the P-660HWP-Dx’s configuration. You can put it back 

on the P-660HWP-Dx later if you decide to revert back to an earl

i

er 

configuration.

Network Address 

Translation (NAT)

Each computer on your network must have its own unique IP address. 

Use NAT to convert your public IP address(es) to multiple private IP 

addresses for

 

the computers on your network.

Port Forwarding

If you have a server (mail or web server for example) on your network, 

you can use this feature to let people access it from the Internet.

DHCP (Dynamic Host 

Configuration Protocol)

Use this feature to have the P-660HWP-Dx assign IP addresses, an IP 

default gateway and DNS servers to computers on your network.

Dynamic DNS Support

With Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) support, you can use a 

fixed URL, www.zyxel.com for example, with a dynamic IP address. You 

must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.

HomePlugAV

The HomePlug AV standard specifies how network devices 

communicate using standard electrical wiring. 
It supports a data transfer rate of up to 200Mbps. 
Data is encrypted using 128-bit AES Link Encryption. 
HomePlug AV compatible devices co-exist with HomePlug 1.0 devices 

but do not detect each other.
The range of a HomePlug AV network is 300 meters/984 feet.
HomePlug AV is compatible with all OSs

IP Multicast

IP multicast is used to send traffic to a specific group of computers. The 

P-660HWP-Dx supports versions 1 and 2 of IGMP (Internet Group 

Management Protocol) used to join multicast groups (see RFC 2236).

IP Alias

IP alias allows you to subdivide a physical network into logical networks 

over the same Ethernet interface with the P-660HWP-Dx itself as the 

gateway for each subnet.

Time and Date

Get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on 

your P-660HWP-Dx. You can also set the time manually. These dates 

and times are then used in logs.

Logging and Tracing

Use packet tracing and logs for troubleshooting. You can send logs from 

the P-660HWP-Dx to an external syslog server.

PPPoE

PPPoE mimics a dial-up Internet access connection.

PPTP Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) enables secure transfer of 

data through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The P-660HWP-Dx 

supports one PPTP connection at a time.

Universal Plug and Play 

(UPnP)

A UPnP-enabled device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP 

address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.

Firewall

You can configure firewall on the P-660HWP-Dx for secure Internet 

access. When the firewall is on, by default, 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 

for example.
