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.
