With the increasing amount of equipment in today's SMB networks, the SMB Management of Information Systems (MIS) needs a simple method of controlling the associated hardware and activities. In addition to built-in Web GUIs or standard SNMP tools, ZyXEL offers Vantage CNM 2.0, a brand new Centralized Network Management tool, for quickly and conveniently installing or managing a distributed network.
Account-based Topology
With the Vantage CNM 2.0 GUI, the MIS can see all account, device, and configuration information in one hierarchical page.
Device Status Monitoring
Vantage CNM can show the status of all managed devices on a network. The displayed information includes ON/OFF status and the device type.
One-to-Many Firmware Upgrade Management
The MIS can simultaneously load the same firmware to multiple selected devices or all devices at one moment. This minimizes the required manpower and eliminates the necessity of having to upgrade device firmware one by one.
One-click VPN establishment
ZyXEL's CNM management tool offers one-click establishment of VPN tunnels. This feature simplifies the process of initiating a VPN tunnel and helps eliminate complicated, detailed VPN settings. Network administrators may simply connect two points with a line as shown on the GUI, and a VPN tunnel is instantly established.
Alerts and Reports
Having detailed information available to network administrators enhances network management. The ZyXEL CNM management tool can generate detailed analysis reports as well as monitoring and management reports. The alert mechanism further improves management by also supplying attack and system error information.
Supporting Security, WLAN and ADSL solutions
The current Vantage CNM 2.0 supports the management of ZyXEL's ZyWALL security appliances, ZyAIR WLAN devices, and Prestige all-in-one ADSL gateway products.

Element Management System

- The telecommunications industry is changing rapidly. Data networking and telecommunications providers have recognized that they must make customer service and responsiveness to customers' needs a top priority. This awareness stems from increased competition to deliver the most advanced, flexible and useful services possible. As network complexity increases, management systems are becoming more and more important to the daily operations of service providers.
- ZyXEL's NetAtlas is an Element Management System (EMS) that supports a full suite of features for managing ZyXEL's IP DSLAM solutions. The EMS supports features for system management, network configuration, performance monitoring, fault detection, and security control. Remotely managing thousands of DSL lines becomes simple, efficient, and cost-effective through the point-and-click feature of the centralized EMS Graphic User Interface (GUI). Not only does this simplify the complexity of network management and provisioning, but it also shortens the time for failure recovery, and thus increases network availability for revenue generation.
Centralized Network Management

- Vantage CNM 2.0(Centralized Network Management), is a browser-based, global management solution that allows an administrator to easily configure, manage, monitor and troubleshoot ZyXEL devices from any location.
- Vantage CNM 2.0 allows you to effectively separate usage and management of ZyXEL's comprehensive range of devices.
- With the remote management feature, system integrators, IT consultants or administrators can remotely manage devices, thus reducing the configuration and administration hassles associated with managing multiple devices. The Vantage administrator will always be able to provide end users with first class support, whether the need is to decipher a log, to upload new firmware, or to create new VPN tunnels. Device owners will be able to efficiently use their devices without worrying about how they work.
- Furthermore, by using Vantage CNM 2.0, an administrator can ensure consistency and compliance with all security policies, constantly monitor all devices and provide immediate support.
- These combined features allow for the rapid deployment of ZyXEL devices, minimizing the cost of management and maximizing device efficiency.
Simply put, Vantage CNM 2.0 is a must for organizations of all sizes that deploy ZyXEL devices. Its power and scalability make managing multiple ZyXEL devices easier than ever before.

Vantage Service Gateway

- Patterns of business and personal communication have changed dramatically over the past few years. For many people, whether in a local restaurant, an international airport, or a hotel across the country, staying in touch is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
- Internet access for travelers previously meant numerous IP reconfiguration processes. With today's increasing demand for High Speed Internet Access (HSIA) in all environments, simple and quick connectivity are becoming key features to any successful multi-user, public access Internet environment.
- ZyXEL's VSG-1200 Vantage Service Gateway is specifically designed to meet multi-user needs while minimizing the overall level of support. In addition to greater bandwidth, ZyXEL offers many more features to facilitate new revenue generation.
- The VSG-1200 is a 1U high, freestanding or rack-mountable access gateway with a built-in server that authenticates subscribers and authorizes them to access the Internet. Its compact design makes it a perfect solution for installation in small, restrictive locations.
- The plug-n-play feature makes Internet access equally simple as accessing the Internet in the office. Whatever network settings a subscriber's workstation may have, the VSG-1200 automatically connects a subscriber to the Internet without having to change any configuration settings.
-
Additionally, the security support allows telecommuters and other personnel to safely access important or confidential information while traveling. Flexible Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) give service providers an easy way to manage and maintain a large group of subscribers over the Internet. It also makes global Internet roaming service a possibility.
- Portal redirection creates a new space for web-based advertisement and e-commerce such as car rental, local tours reservations, and similar services. Easy integration with an existing billing solution conveniently generates bills while simultaneously creating new revenue stream.
- The VSG-1200 offers service providers extensive management capabilities. With the built-in web-based management system, the VSG-1000/1200 offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration tool. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support is another alternative that enables integration with any standard-based management software.
- The advanced designs of the VSG-1200 enable service providers to deploy broadband service to a large amount of customers quickly, at a lower cost than previously possible.
