Getting to Know Your Router
This chapter describes the key features and applications of your Prestige.
1.1 Prestige 480 ISDN Router
The Prestige 480 is a dual-line ISDN router. The Prestige is ideal for everything from Internet browsing or receiving calls from remote dial-in users to making LAN-to-LAN connections to remote networks.
1.2 Features of Prestige 480
The following are the key features of the Prestige 480.
Dual ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) Support
The P480 supports two BRI, with each BRI offering two 64Kbps channels. The channels can be used independently for up to four destinations simultaneously in any incoming/outgoing combination or be bundled in a single connection to speed up data transfer.
Dial-in Server
The four B-channels and the dial-in capability make the Prestige an ideal platform as a dial-in server to provide remote access for up to four telecommuting employees.
Auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
The LAN interface automatically detects if it’s on a 10 or a 100 Mbps Ethernet and adjusts itself for the highest speed.
Single User Account (SUA)
The SUA™ (Single User Account) features allows multiple users on the LAN to share Internet access for the price of a single ISP account.

DNS Proxy
The DNS ( Domain Name System) proxy capability eliminates the need of statically configuring the DNS servers.
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server/relay support allows the workstations on your LAN to obtain the configuration from the Prestige.
Dial-On-Demand
The Dial-On-Demand feature allows the Prestige to automatically place a call to a remote gateway based on the triggering packet’s destination without user intervention.
TCP/IP and PPP Support
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network layer protocol.PPP/MP (Point-to-Point Protocol/Multilink Protocol) link layer protocol.
PPP Multilink
The Prestige can bundle up to four B-channels in a single connection using the PPP Multilink Protocol The number of links can be either statically configured or dynamically managed based on traffic demand.
Bandwidth-On-Demand
The Prestige can dynamically allocate bandwidth by adding and dropping links according to traffic demand. The telephone number of an additional link can be obtained either with BAP (Bandwidth Allocation Protocol) or statically configured.
Full Network Management
Windows based PNC (Prestige Network Commander).SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support. SMT (System Management Terminal) access through telnet connection.
PNC
The Prestige Network Commander (PNC) is a C++ based utility designed to allow users to access the Prestige’s management settings via Windows.

Prestige 480 ISDN Router
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a management protocol for collecting information from devices on the network. When TCP/IP is configured in your Prestige, the SNMP agent functionality allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network.
SMT
The System Management Terminal (SMT) is a menu-driven interface to configure your Prestige using either console port (through RS232 cable) connection or telnet (through LAN) connection. You can access the SMT from either a VT100 compatible terminal or a terminal emulation program on a PC.
Logging and Tracing
CDR (Call Detail Record) for assistance in analyzing and managing the telephone bill.Built-in message logging and packet tracing.UNIX syslog facility support.
RADIUS Support
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is the most popular protocol for user authentication on dial-up lines. RADIUS support allows you to use an external server for unlimited number of users and helps in the centralized management of the users database.
PAP and CHAP Security
The Prestige supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP; however, PAP is readily available on more platforms.
CLID Support
CLID (Calling Line Identification) allows the Prestige to authenticate the caller before a call is answered, thus saving the cost of a connection. The Prestige uses the caller ID in call setup message to match against the CLID in database. (Note: The telephone company must support Caller ID for CLID authentication to work on the Prestige.)

Prestige 480 ISDN Router
Call Back
The Callback feature allows the Prestige to disconnect a call and then call back when an authorized remote user dials into the system. This prevents intruders from accessing your network and makes accounting easier when you use the Prestige as a dial-in server.
Packet Filtering
The Prestige supports packet filtering that stops leakage of private data to the outside world and controls access to undesirable locations.
Call Control
Your Prestige provides budget management for outgoing calls and maintains a blacklist for unreachable phone numbers, thus saving you the expense of unnecessary charges.
Data Compression
Your Prestige incorporates Stac data compression to speed up data transfer. Stac is the de facto standard of data compression over PPP links.
Networking Compatibility
Your Prestige is compatible with remote access products from other manufacturers such as Ascend, Cisco, and 3Com. Furthermore, it supports Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT dial-up networking (DUN) capability.
Upgrade Firmware via LAN
In addition to the direct console port connection, the Prestige supports the up/downloading of firmware and the configuration file using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over the LAN. Even though TFTP should work over the WAN as well, it is not recommended because of potential data corruption problems.
Backup and Restore Configuration File
You can backup the configuration of the Prestige to your workstation and also restore the configuration from your workstation.
