2.4 Ways to Access the Zyxel Device

You can use the following ways to configure the Zyxel Device.

Web Configurator

The Web Configurator allows easy Zyxel Device setup and management using an Internet browser. If

your Zyxel Device is managed by the NCC or an AC, use this only for troubleshooting if you cannot

connect to the Internet. This User’s Guide provides information about the Web Configurator.

NCC

This is the primary means by which you manage the Zyxel Device in cloud (NCC) mode. With the NCC,

you can remotely manage and monitor the Zyxel Device through a cloud-based network management

system. See the NCC User’s Guide for more information.

ZON Utility

Zyxel One Network (ZON) Utility is a utility tool that assists you to set up and maintain network devices in a

simple and efficient way. You can download the ZON Utility at www.zyxel.com and install it on your

computer (Windows operating system). For more information on ZON Utility see Section 2.3 on page 27.

Command-Line Interface (CLI)

The CLI allows you to use text-based commands to configure the Zyxel Device. You can access it using

remote management (for example, SSH or Telnet). See the Command Reference Guide for more

information.
