ZyXEL Prestige P128
1.50 Release Note/Manual Supplement
Date: August 17, 1998
This Release Note/Manual Supplement contains information about the new features, and bug
fixes since the incremental release v1.42(B.03I).
The New Features section lists the new features added to this release. Please read through the
Enhancement Details section for detail information. A new section, Changes not Compatible
to Previous Versions, is added to this release notes. It is important to read it too.
1 New Features
SUA Enhancements
In this release, SUA has been enhanced to support the popular applications: Microsoft’s
tracert under Windows9x and Windows NT, CuSeeMe, IRC, RealAudio, VDOLive,
Quake, and PPTP. Besides above, multiple SUA servers are supported.
Advanced ISDN Features
ISDN Supplementary Services are supported in this release. These services work
properly only if the needed functions subscribed from the Telephone Company or PTT.
B-channel, CLID, and WAN IP Address Shown on Menu 24.1
B-channel, CLID, and WAN IP address are shown on Menu 24.1. Due to the space
limitation in Menu 24.1, Menu 24.1 has been separated into to two screens. The original
static information in Menu 24.1 has been moved to Menu 24.2.1. Now, Menu 24.1 only
displays the dynamic information.
2 Changes not Compatible to Previous Versions
2.1 ISDN EPA Mechanism is Moved to PC
The CI (Command Interpreter, menu 24.8) command, "isdn ana display", is disabled in this
release. A new CI command "sys epalog" is added for displaying the ISDN raw trace data. "isdn
ana display" could not work with Telnet before, but "sys epalog" works fine with Telnet. So you
do not have to rely on terminal emulator via serial port to capture the ISDN trace any more.
A new DOS tool - epapc, will be used to decode the ISDN raw trace data into meaningful Q.921
and Q.931fields. epapc is part of this release. If you have difficulties to run epapc, please send
the raw ISDN trace to ZyXEL support for decoding. The proper steps to take the raw ISDN trace
are:
1. type “isdn analyzer on”
2. try your ISDN call now
3. after failed ISDN connection type “isdn analyzer off”
4. Type “sys epalog”
5. Start to capture the data displayed on the screen
1
6. Type <CR> to show the raw ISDN trace on screen
7. Press <space bar> to keep Prestige displaying the trace until hit end
8. Stop the capturing mechanism
2.2 Busy Tone Generated after Far-end Hanging up
In the previous releases, Prestige kept silent after far-end hanging up the phone. In this release,
Prestige generates busy tone after far-end hanging up. There exists a side effect for those
answering machines based on silent to detect the end of the message. The work around is to
issue a CI command and reboot the Prestige.
• if the answering machine is on POTS port 1, the CI command is:
isdn set initstring s78.0=1
• if the answering machine is on POTS port 2, the CI command is:
isdn set initstring s78.1=1
• if the answering machines are on both POTS ports, the CI command is:
isdn set initstring s78.0=1s78.1=1
If you do not want to reboot your Prestige after issuing the above CI command, you can issue
another CI command to activate it:
isdn send initstring
You can reset the function to default by issuing:
isdn set initstring
3 Supported Platforms
v1.50(B.00) supports Prestige models: P128 and P128L.
4 Enhancement Details
4.1 SUA Enhancements
SUA has been enhanced to support the popular Internet applications: MS tracert, CuSeeMe,
IRC, RealAudio, VDOLive, Quake, and PPTP. There is no configuration needed for supporting
these applications.
For multiple SUA server support, the Server IP Addr field in Menu 4 and 11.2 has been
removed and a new Menu 15 is added.

5. 0 0.0.0.0
6. 0 0.0.0.0
7. 0 0.0.0.0
8. 0 0.0.0.0
There are up to eight SUA servers can be configured in this menu. The first one is reserved for
the default server, and it can not be changed. You only need to assign the IP address to this
default server. For other SUA servers, you need to assign them both of the Port number and the
IP address.
If the default server has been configured, the entire unknown (port number is not configured in
this Menu, nor in SUA table) WAN incoming IP packets will be routed to this IP address.
Otherwise, Prestige will discard them silently if they are neither Telnet (port number 23) nor
Authentication (port number 113) packets. For Telnet packets, Prestige will perform as Telnet
server in this case. For Authentication packets, Prestige will reject them.
The most often used port numbers are:

telnet 23
SMTP 25
DNS (Domain Name Server) 53
www-http (Web) 80

4.2.1 Before You Begin
Advanced ISDN Features refers to Call Waiting, Call Hold, Conference Calling, Call Transfer,
and Reminder Ring on the Prestige POTS ports. There are services on the serving Central
Office switch that works in cooperation with the Prestige software must first be enabled. These
services usually are extra charges in addition to your monthly payment.
Additional Call Offering (ACO) (in Europe the same service is better known as “Call Waiting”) is
required to be subscribed on your ISDN line in order to utilizing the Call Waiting (CW) feature.
Flexible Calling is required on your ISDN line in order to using the Three Way Calling (Call
Conference), or Call Transfer features. You may want to check with your phone company to
confirm if these services are available to you.
In some cases, your telephone company may enable the subscribed services on your first
directory (phone) number only. You have to request your telephone company to enable the
services on your second directory number as well if you do need the features on both of the
POTS ports.
4.2.2 Advanced ISDN Features Supported by Northern American Version
4.2.2.1 Menu 2 – ISDN Setup
If the advanced ISDN features are enabled on both of your PORT ports, please follow the
suggestion in this section in order to making the advanced ISDN features work properly on both
of them. It is important to select Phone 1 in Incoming Analog Call field under 1st Phone field,
and to select Phone 2 in Incoming Analog Call field under 2nd Phone field.
For example, if you have two telephone numbers, 5552000 and 5554000, and you want to assign
5552000 to POTS port 1, then configure it as:
4
Menu 2 - ISDN Setup
Switch Type= xyz
B Channel Usage= Switch/Switch
1st Phone #= 5552000
SPID #= 0555200001
Incoming Analog Call= Phone 1
2nd Phone #= 5554000
SPID #= 0555400001
Incoming Analog Call= Phone 2
Advanced Setup = No
If you want to assign 5554000 to POTS port 1, then configure it as:
Menu 2 - ISDN Setup
Switch Type= xyz
B Channel Usage= Switch/Switch
1st Phone #= 5554000
SPID #= 0555400001
Incoming Analog Call= Phone 1
2nd Phone #= 5552000
SPID #= 0555200001
Incoming Analog Call= Phone 2
Advanced Setup = No
The important point is to select Phone 1 in Incoming Analog Call field under 1st Phone field,
and to select Phone 2 in Incoming Analog Call field under 2nd Phone field.
4.2.2.2 Menu 2.1 – ISDN Advanced Setup
In Menu 2, move cursor to the Advanced Setup field and select Yes, then press the “ENTER”
key. This will pop up the ISDN Advanced Setup menu for configuring supplemental services and
other option as shown below in menu 2.1.

Menu 2.1 -- ISDN Advanced Setup
ISDN Features Access Code:
Conference Call= 60
Call Transfer= 61
Call Drop= 62
Call Forwarding= 57
Phone 1 Call Waiting= Enable/Disable
Phone 2 Call Waiting= Enable/Disable
Preferred Phone # for 1st Out Data Call= None/1st/2nd
Please note that the default values entered in the feature access code fields are the values that
are specified by the NI-1 standard. Please ask your Telephone Company about the right access
code for your ISDN line provision. For certain RBOCs like Pacific Bell, or switches like the
Northern Telecom Custom, the values could be different from above. Take the access code
provided by your telephone company; otherwise, our recommended values are:
Access Code Feature
4 Conference Call
5 Call Transfer
6 Call Drop
57 Call Forwarding
By toggling the Phone 1 Call Waiting and Phone 2 Call Waiting fields, you can enable and
disable the Call Waiting feature on the POTS port phones. Default is to disable the Call Waiting
feature on both phones.
The purpose for adding the Preferred Phone # for 1st Out Data Call field is to allow user to
reserve a Directory (Phone) number for incoming calls. When there is no active data or voice
call, the first Directory (Phone) number (DN-1) will be used to place the out data call if None or
1st is selected, and DN-2 will be used if 2nd is selected. The difference between None and 1st
is the B-channel requested in Setup message from Prestige to switch. There is no B-channel
preference set in the Setup message if None is selected. The B-channel preference is B1 if 1st
is selected, and the B-channel preference is B2 if 2nd is selected. Here is a brief description
about the choices of this field:
None: DN-1 is used to place the out data call.
1st: DN-1 is used to place the out data call, and the preferred B-channel is B1.
2nd: DN-2 is used to place the out data call, and the preferred B-channel is B2.
We have to emphasize that the above selection is only a preference. Switch may reject the Bchannel request; and different DN is used because the desired Directory (Phone) number used
by other call.
4.2.2.3 Call Waiting
ISDN Call Waiting allows you to place a call on hold while you answer another incoming call on
the same phone (directory) number.
