Zyxel Prestige 600 series

Hi!

I have a Zyxel Prestige 600 series ADSL which connect me to the internet
over the ordinary telephone line with a speed of 20Mibi. There are four 
free RJ45 connectors on the backside and on the bottom label one can 
read the following info:

ADSL 2+ 4-port gateway
Prestige 660H triple play modem   Model no 401315

There are four RJ45 connectors that's not used currently on the back of 
the modem.

Can this modem be put to other uses than it is used now, i.e. as a 
simple ADSL modem? For example, can I connect my Xerox Phaser 6120N 
laser printer with a network connector to one of the unused ports and 
control the printer from a web interface or PrintScout (which is on the 
printer's driver CD)? Or can I redefine the printer as a network 
printer? Are there other possible uses for this modem?

This 4 ports are normal Ethernet switch. So You can attach here another 
computer or printer.

Looks like you have a combined modem/router with 4(or 5?) port ethernet 
switch.

Presuming the "N" in Xerox Phaser 6120N idicates that the printer has

network connectivity you should be able to hook up the printer to an 
rj45 port and set it up to use the SLPR printer port.

If the printer has a builtin browser interface for admin/configuration 
purposes you should be able to use Firefox/Seamonkey with it.

I suggest a read of the printer documentation before experimentation  :-)
