Front Panel Ports 
Label
Description
RESET
Press the button in for about 5 seconds (or until the SYS LED starts to blink), then release it to return the Zyxel Device to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1 etc.)
CONSOLE
You can use the console port to manage the Zyxel Device using CLI commands. You will be prompted to enter your user name and password. See the Command Reference Guide for more information about the CLI.
When configuring using the console port, you need a computer equipped with communications software configured to the following parameters:
• Speed 115200 bps
• Data Bits 8
• Parity None
• Stop Bit 1
• Flow Control Off
USB
Connect a storage device for system logs (see Maintenance > Diagnostics > System Log) and storage (see Configuration > System > USB Storage).
P1 ~ P6
These are 1G RJ-45 Ethernet ports.

BUZZER RESET
The buzzer alarms when a power module fails. Use this to mute the buzzer alarm.
CONSOLE
You can use the console port to manage the Zyxel Device using CLI commands. You will be prompted to enter your user name and password. See the Command Reference Guide for more information about the CLI.
When configuring using the console port, you need a computer equipped with communications software configured to the following parameters:
• Speed 115200 bps
• Data Bits 8
• Parity None
• Stop Bit 1
• Flow Control Off
USB
Connect a storage device for system logs (see Maintenance > Diagnostics > System Log) and storage (see Configuration > System > USB Storage).
P1 ~ P4
These are SFP (1G) ports. These are compatible 1G transceiver modules (at the time of writing):
• SFP-1000T
• SFP-SX-D
• SFP-LX-10-D
• SFP-BX1310-10-D
• SFP-BX1490-10-D
• SFP-LHX1310-40-D
• SFP-ZX-80-D

Console
You can use the console port to manage the Zyxel Device using CLI commands. You will be prompted to enter your user name and password. See the Command Reference Guide for more information about the CLI.
When configuring using the console port, you need a computer equipped with communications software configured to the following parameters:
• Speed 115200 bps
• Data Bits 8
• Parity None
• Stop Bit 1
• Flow Control Off
Power
Use the included power cord to connect the power socket to a power outlet. Turn the power switch on if your Zyxel Device has a power switch.
Lock
Attach a lock-and-cable from the Kensington lock (the small, metal-reinforced, oval hole) to a permanent object, such as a pole, to secure the Zyxel Device in place.
Fan
The fans are for cooling the Zyxel Device. Make sure they are not obstructed to allow maximum ventilation.
Note: Use an 8-wire Ethernet cable to run your Gigabit Ethernet connection at 1000 Mbps. Using a 4-wire Ethernet cable limits your connection to 100 Mbps. Note that the connection speed also depends on what the Ethernet device at the other end can support.
Default Zones, Interfaces, and Ports
The default configurations for zones, interfaces, and ports are as follows. References to interfaces may be generic rather than the specific name used in your model. For example, this guide may use “the WAN interface” rather than “wan1” or “wan2”, “ge2” or” ge3” (USG2200-VPN/USG2200 is “ge5” or “ge6”).
An OPT (optional) Ethernet port can be configured as an additional WAN port, LAN, WLAN, or DMZ port.
The following table shows the default physical port and interface mapping for each model at the time of writing.

Stopping the Zyxel Device
Always use Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown or the shutdown command before you turn off the Zyxel Device or remove the power. Not doing so can cause the firmware to become corrupt.
