PK5000Z Quick Start Guide 3 1 Hardware Connections 1 DSL: Use the gray telephone wire to connect your PK5000Z’s DSL port to a telephone jack (or to the modem port on a splitter if you are using one). 2 ETHERNET: Use the yellow Ethernet cable to connect a computer to an ETHERNET port for initial configuration and/or Internet access. 3 POWER: Use the included power adaptor to connect an appropriate power source to the POWER socket. Make sure the power source is on. 4 Push in the POWER button. 5 Look at the lights on the front panel. • The POWER light blinks while your PK5000Z starts up and stays on once it is ready. • Each ETHERNET light stays on if the corresponding ETHERNET port is properly connected and blinks when there is traffic. • The DSL light is on when the PK5000Z has a DSL connection. • The INTERNET light is on when you are able to access the Internet and blinks when the PK5000Z is sending or receiving data. Wait a couple of minutes while your device checks the connection. If any of these lights are not on, check your connections and inspect your cables for damage. If the lights are still off, contact your local vendor. 2 Internet Connection Setup: Automatic Use this section to have your PK5000Z automatically detect and set up your Internet connection. 1 Open your web browser to a website. Wait while your PK5000Z tries to detect your DSL connection to your ISP. This may take a few minutes. 2 After it detects the connection, the DSL light shows green on your device and the Internet light comes on when the Internet is ready for you to use. If you have a PPPoE connection, you will have to enter your user name and password. 3 Go to section 3 if you wish to configure your wireless settings. 4 If you do not see the connection test screen, or the connection test is not successful, follow the instructions in the screen below, or check your connections and restart the PK5000Z. If you still cannot access the Internet, follow the steps in section 3. 3 Configuring your Wireless Settings To create a wireless network, the PK5000Z and your wireless computer must all use the same SSID (network name), channel and security settings. If you do not set wireless security then anyone within range could use your PK5000Z to access your network and the Internet. Choose WPA-PSK wireless security if your wireless device supports it as it is stronger than WEP. Otherwise choose WEP.

PK5000Z Quick Start Guide 5 Troubleshooting 1 If you cannot access the web configurator, • Your computer may be set to use a static IP address in a different subnet from the ZyXEL device. See the appendix in the User’s Guide for information on setting up your IP address. • If you are using Internet Explorer in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, make sure you allow pop-up windows, JavaScripts and Java permissions or set the Internet security level lower than High in Internet Explorer (in Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level...).

A) Check the lights on the front panel. If they are different from what is described in section 1, make sure the PK5000Z is correctly connected. (See section 1.) If the lights are still different, turn off the device, wait a few seconds, and turn it on again. B) Check you have correctly entered the informatinon your ISP gave you.

If your ISP did not give you Internet connection information, follow the steps in section 2. C) If you are using a new Internet account, contact your ISP to make sure it is active. D) If you still have problems, see Troubleshooting in the User’s Guide. If you cannot access the Internet after you take the steps above, either try the following or contact your ISP: E) Turn your PK5000Z off and on. Open your Internet browser if it is not already open. Let the PK5000Z complete the DSL connection test (this may take several minutes). See section 2 for details. If the test is successful, check whether you can access the Internet. F) If the test is unsuccessful or if you cannot access the Internet, log in to the PK5000Z’s web configurator (see section 3). • Click Network > WAN > Internet Connection.
