How do I set my modem up for PCI Compliance?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. If you need your modem set up to be PCI Compliant, follow these instructions.

First, select which modem you have:

  • Select ADVANCED SETUP

  • Select PROCEED at advanced user challenge screen (IF PROMPTED)

  • Select REMOTE GUI under the REMOTE section on the left-hand menu.

  • In SECTION 1, Set the remote GUI to disable.

  • Section 2 and 3 should grey out.

  • Select Apply in section 4

DISCLAIMER: Once you apply these settings, you will lose remote connection to the VMG4927 Gateway. To regain remote access, the gateway will need to be factory reset!

  • Remotely access the GUI of the ZYXEL Gateway through the WAN IP:50580 and then log in. Click HERE for instructions if needed.

  • Click on the Menu iconon the top right, and then click on Maintenance.

  • Under Maintenance click on Remote Management.

  • On the Remote Management page, you’ll be on the MGMT Services tab and under the Service Control section you will uncheck ALL the boxes under LAN/WLAN and WAN so that it closes all those ports and renders the VMG4927 Gateway as PCI Compliant. This will effectively block Port 50580.

  • Click Apply to save those settings.
