zNID Administration and Configuation Guide 9
GETTINGSTARTED
Connecting your computer or home network to the gateway is a simple
procedure, varying slightly depending on your operating system.
The setup is designed to seamlessly integrate the zNID with your computer or
home network. Moreover, zero-configuration is attained when taking
advantage of Universal Plug-and-Play support in Windows XP. The Windows
default network settings dictate that in most cases the setup procedure
described below will be unnecessary. For example, the default DHCP setting
in Windows 2000 is client, requiring no further modification.However, it is advised to follow the setup procedure described below to verify
that all communication parameters are valid and that the physical cable
connections are correct.
zNID Setup
The basic setup procedure consists of three consecutive configuration stages:
1. Setting up LAN and WAN connections
2. PC network configuration
3. zNID configuration
Stage 1 - Setting up LAN and WAN Connections
LAN Connection
Your connection to the Internet is determined by the type of gateway that you
have. Please consult the zNID Installation Guide for details on how to connect
copper wires or fiber to the zNIDs WAN interface.
WAN ConnectionYour connection to the Internet is determined by the type of gateway that you
have. If your gateway has a built-in DSL modem, connect its DSL socket to
the wall socket using a telephone cable. Consult your modem documentation
regarding specific cables necessary for connection. Mention GPON and AE.

Getting Started
10 zNID Administration and Configuation Guide
Stage 2 - PC Network Configuration
Each network interface on the PC should either be configured with a statically
defined IP address and DNS address, or should be instructed to automatically
obtain an IP address using the Network DHCP server. The zNID provides a
DHCP server on its LAN and it is recommended to configure your LAN to
obtain its IP and DNS server IPs automatically.
This configuration principle is identical but performed differently on each
operating system.
The figure below displays the TCP/IP Properties dialog box as it appears in
Windows XP. Following are TCP/IP

WEB-BASEDMANAGEMENT
Accessing the Web-based Management
This chapter describes the zNID Web-based management (WBM) which
allows you to control various zNID system parameters, using a user-friendly
graphical interface. The Web-based management includes a connection
wizard, a graphic network map, multiple sessions, authentication data kept on
gateway, multiple user support, multilingual support, a connection diagnostics
screen and more.
To access the Web-based management:
If your computer is runn ing an operating sys tem that supports
UPnP, such Windows XP, you can easily add the computer to your
home network and access the Web-based management directly
from within.
1. Launch a Web-browser on a PC in the LAN.
2. Type the gateways IP address or name as provided with your gateway in
the address bar (Internet Explorer) or location bar (Netscape Navigator). The
default IP address is 192.168.1.1, and default name is http://zNID.home.
3. Enter your username and password to log on to the WBM. For securityreasons, you should change these settings after the initial login. The default
user name is admin, and the default password is zhone for administration
rights, and the default user name is user and the default password is
password for limited user rights. A read only user is also pre-configured
with a user name of user read and a password of password.
Your session will automatically t ime-out after a few minutes of
inactiv ity. If you try to operate the Web- based management after
the session has expired the Login screen will appear and you will
have to re- enter your user name and password before
proceeding. This feature helps to prevent unauthorized users

Network Types
Every network connection in the zNID can be configured as one of three
types: WAN, LAN or DMZ. This provides high flexibility and increased
functionality.
For example, you may define that a LAN Ethernet connection on the zNID
will operate as a WAN network. This means that all hosts in this LAN will be
referred to as WAN computers, both by computers outside the zNID and by
the zNID itself. WAN and firewall rules may be applied, such as on any other
WAN network.
Another example, is that a network connection can be defined as a DMZ
(Demilitarized) network. Although the network is physically inside the zNID,
it will function as an unsecured, independent network, for which the zNID
merely acts as a router.
8/10/2019 Zhone Router ZNID Admin
22/266
Network Connections
22 zNID Administration and Configuation Guide
One of these three network types is defined in each connections
configuration screen, in the Network combo-box, as depicted in the
following sections.
DMZ Network
When defining a network connection as a DMZ network, you must also:
Remove the connection from under a bridge, if that is the case.
Change the connections routing mode to Route, in the Routing section
of the configuration screen.
Add a routing rule on your external gateway (which may be with your ISP)
informing of the DMZ network behind the zNID.
LAN Bridge
The LAN bridge connection is used to combine several LAN devices under
one virtual network.Please note, that when a bridge is removed, its formerly underlying devices
inherit the bridges DHCP settings. For example, the removal of a bridge that
is configured as DHCP client, automatically configures the LAN devices
formerly constituting the bridge as DHCP clients, with the exact DHCP client
configuration.
Creation with the Connection Wizard
To configure an existing bridge or create a new one, perform the following
steps:
1. Click the New Connection link in the Network Connections screen. TheConnection Wizard screen will appear.
2. Select the Advanced Connection radio button and click Next. The
Advanced Connection screen will appear.
3. Select the Network Bridging radio button and click Next. The Bridge

IP Address Distribution
The IP Address Distribution section allows you to configure the gateways
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server parameters. The DHCP
automatically assigns IP addresses to network PCs. If you enable this feature,
make sure that you also configure your network PCs as DHCP clients.
Select one of the following options from the IP Address Distribution
combo-box:
DHCP Server
Start IP AddressThe first IP address that may be assigned to a LAN host.
Since the gateways default IP address is 192.168.1.1, this address must be
192.168.1.2 or greater.
End IP AddressThe last IP address in the range that can be used to
automatically assign IP addresses to LAN hosts.
Subnet MaskA mask used to determine to what subnet an IP address
belongs. An example of a subnet mask value is 255.255.0.0.Lease Time In MinutesEach device will be assigned an IP address by the
DHCP server for a this amount of time, when it connects to the network.
When the lease expires the server will determine if the computer has
disconnected from the network. If it has, the server may reassign this IP
address to a newly-connected computer. This feature ensures that IP addresses
that are not in use will become available for other computers on the network.
Provide Host Name If Not Specified by ClientIf the DHCP client does not
have a host name, the gateway will automatically assign one.

Routing
You can choose to setup your gateway to use static or dynamic routing.
Dynamic routing automatically adjusts how packets travel on the network,
whereas static routing specifies a fixed routing path to neighboring
destinations.
Routing Select Advanced or Basic routing.
Routing Mode Select one of the following routing modes:
Route Use route mode if you want your gateway to function as a routerbetween two networks.
NAPT Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) refers to networkaddress translation involving the mapping of port numbers, allowingmultiple machines to share a single IP address. Use NAPT if your LANencompasses multiple devices, a topology that necessitates porttranslation in addition to address translation.
Device Metric The device metric is a value used by the gateway to
determine whether one route is superior to another, considering parameterssuch as bandwidth, delay, and more.
Default Route Select this check box to define this device as a the default
route.
Multicast - IGMP Proxy Internal IGMP proxy enables the system to issue
IGMP host messages on behalf of hosts that the system discovered through
standard IGMP interfaces. IGMP proxy enables the routing of multicast
packets according to the IGMP requests of LAN devices asking to join
multicast groups. Select the Multicast IGMP Proxy Internal check-box to
enable this feature.
Routing Table Allows you to add or modify routes when this device is
active. Use the New Route button to add a route or edit existing routes.

General
The top part of the configuration window displays general communication
parameters. It is recommended not to change the default values in this screen
unless you are familiar with the networking concepts they represent. Since
your gateway is configured to operate with the default values, no parameter
modification is necessary. You can configure the following generalconnection settings:
Schedule By default, the connection will always be active. However, you
can configure scheduler rules in order to define time segments during which
the connection may be active. Once a scheduler rule(s) is defined, this field
changes to a combo box, allowing you to choose between the available rules.
Network Select whether the parameters you are configuring relate to a
WAN, LAN or DMZ connection, by selecting the connection type from the
combo-box.
Physical Address The physical address of the network card used for your
network. Some cards allow you to change this address.Clone MAC Allows you to copy the current MAC address of your PC tothe MAC address of this device.
MTU MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largestpacket size permitted for Internet transmission. In the default setting,Automatic, the gateway selects the best MTU for your Internetconnection. In case you change to manual, you can enter the largestpacket size, you should leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range.
Underlying Connection The Ethernet device that the connection is
implemented over.
Internet ProtocolSelect one of the following Internet Protocol options from the Internet
Protocol drop down menu:
No IP Address
Obtain an IP Address Automatically
Use the Following IP Address
Please note that according to the selection you make in the Internet Protocol
drop down menu, the screen will refresh and display relevant configuration
settings.
No IP Address Select No IP Address if you require that your gateway haveno IP address. This can be useful if you are working in an environment where
you are not connected to other networks, such as the Internet.

Obtain an IP Address Automatically Your WAN connection is configured
by default to act as a DHCP client. You should keep this configuration in case
your service provider supports DHCP, or if you are connecting using a
dynamic IP address.
The server that assigns the gateway with an IP address, also assigns a subnet
mask. You can override the dynamically assigned subnet mask by selecting
the Override Subnet Mask and specifying your own mask instead.
You can press the Release button to release the current leased IP address.
Once the address has been released, the button text changes to Renew. Use
the Renew button to renew the leased IP address.
Figure 71: Internet Protocol Settings Automatic IP
Use the Following IP Address Your WAN connection can be configured
using a permanent (static) IP address. Your service provider should provide
you with this IP address, subnet mask and the default gateway IP address.

IP Address Distribution
The IP Address Distribution section allows you to configure the gateways
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server parameters. The DHCP
automatically assigns IP addresses to network PCs. If you enable this feature,
make sure that you also configure your network PCs as DHCP clients.

Start IP Address The first IP address that may be assigned to a LAN host.
Since the gateways default IP address is 192.168.1.1, this address must be
192.168.1.2 or greater.
End IP Address The last IP address in the range that can be used to
automatically assign IP addresses to LAN hosts.
Subnet Mask A mask used to determine to what subnet an IP addressbelongs. An example of a subnet mask value is 255.255.0.0.
Lease Time In Minutes Each device will be assigned an IP address by the
DHCP server for a this amount of time, when it connects to the network.
When the lease expires the server will determine if the computer has
disconnected from the network. If it has, the server may reassign this IP
address to a newly-connected computer. This feature ensures that IP addresses
that are not in use will become available for other computers on the network.
Provide Host Name If Not Specified by Client If the DHCP client does not
have a host name, the gateway will automatically assign one for him.
