Preface

About Your ADSL Internet Access Router

Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 645R ADSL Internet Access Router.

The Prestige 645R is an ADSL router used for Internet/LAN access via an ADSL line. We will refer to the

Prestige 645R router as the P645R or simply the Prestige from now on.

The P645R can run upstream maximum transmission rates of 800 Kbps and downstream maximum

transmission rates of 8Mbps. The actual rate depends on the type of ADSL service subscribed to, the copper

category of your telephone wire and the distance from the central office. See the following sections for

more background information on DSL and ADSL.

The P645R's 10/100M LAN interface enables fast data transfer of 10Mbps or 100Mbps in either half-

duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.

Your Prestige is easy to install and to configure. All functions of the Prestige are software configurable via

the SMT (System Management Terminal) interface.

About This User's Guide

This user's guide covers all aspects of the Prestige 645R’s operations and shows you how to get the best out

of the multiple advanced features of your ADSL Internet Access Router using the SMT. It is designed to

guide you through the correct configuration of your Prestige 645R for various applications.

What Is ADSL?

About ADSL

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology provides high-speed data access across regular
phone lines (copper wires) by making use of previously unused frequency bandwidth above the voice band.
By placing the ADSL signal above the frequency of voice signals, ADSL service is able to coexist on the
same line with your telephone service. ADSL is asymmetric in the sense that it provides a higher downstream
data rate transfer (up to 8Mbps), than in the upstream transfer (up to 832 Kbps). Asymmetric operation is
ideal for typical home and small office use where files and information are downloaded more frequently than
uploaded.

Advantages of ADSL

1. ADSL provides a private (unlike cable telephone and modem services where the line is shared),

dedicated and secure channel of communications between you and your service provider.

2. Because your line is dedicated (not shared), transmission speeds are not affected by other users. With

cable modems, transmission speeds drop significantly as more users go on-line because the line is
shared.

3. ADSL is "always on" (connected). This means that there is no time wasted dialing up the service several

times a day and waiting to be connected; ADSL is on standby, ready for use whenever you need it.

Prestige 645 ADSL Internet Access Router

Chapter 1

Getting to Know Your Prestige

This chapter describes the key features and applications of

1.1 Prestige 645R ADSL Internet Access Router

Your Prestige integrates a high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface and a high-speed ADSL

port into a single package. The Prestige is ideal for high-speed Internet browsing and making LAN-to-LAN

connections to remote networks.

1.2 Features of the Prestige 645R

Your Prestige is packed with a number of features that give it the flexibility to provide a complete

networking solution for almost any user.

Ease of Installation

Your Prestige is designed for quick, intuitive and easy installation. Physically, its compact size and

lightness make it easy to position anywhere in your busy office.

your ADSL Internet Access Router.

High Speed Internet Access

The P645R ADSL router can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream

transmission rates of 800 Kbps.

10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet LAN Interface

The P645R's 10/100M LAN interface enables fast data transfers of 10Mbps or 100Mbps in either half-

duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network. Auto-sensing enables you to use either a

crossover Ethernet cable or a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect your device to either a computer or

Getting to Know Your Prestige 1-1

external hub. In other words these ports automatically adjust according to the type of cable so that either

straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet cable may be used.

Protocols Supported

 TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network layer protocol.

 PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) link layer protocol.

♦ Novel IPX (Internetwork Packet eXchange) network layer protocol.
♦ Transparent bridging for unsupported network layer protocols.
♦ DHCP Client, Server and Relay
♦ RIP I and RIP II

IP Policy Routing

IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter the

packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the network administrator.

Call Scheduling

Configure call time periods to allow and restrict access to remote nodes.

Networking Compatibility

Your Prestige is compatible with the major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer)

providers, making configuration as simple as possible for you.

Multiplexing

The Prestige 645R supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

1-2 Getting to Know Your Prestige

Prestige 645 ADSL Internet Access Router

Encapsulation

The Prestige 645R supports PPP (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483

encapsulation over ATM and MAC encapsulated routing (ENET ENCAP) as well as PPP over Ethernet

(RFC 2516).

NAT/SUA for single-IP-address Internet Access

The Prestige's SUA (Single User Account) feature allows multiple user Internet access for the cost of a

single IP account. SUA supports popular Internet applications, such as MS traceroute, CuSeeMe, IRC,

RealAudio, VDOLive, Quake, and PPTP. No configuration is needed to support these applications.

Full Network Management

♦ SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support.
♦ SMT (System Management Terminal) through a telnet connection.

PAP and CHAP Security

The Prestige supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake

Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure since the password is scrambled prior to transmission.

However, PAP is readily available on more platforms.

Filters

The Prestige's packet filtering functions allow added network security and management.

Reset Button

The Prestige comes with a reset button built into the rear panel. Use this button to restore the factory default

password to 1234, IP address to 192.168.1.1, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and DHCP server enabled with

a pool of 32 IP addressed starting at 192.168.1.33.

1.3 Applications for the Prestige 645R

1.3.1 Internet Access

The Prestige is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. Your Prestige supports the TCP/IP protocol,

which the Internet uses exclusively. It is compatible with all major ADSL DSLAM providers. A DSLAM

is a rack of ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into a backbone network interface/connection (e.g., T1,

OC3, DS3, ATM or Frame Relay). Think of it as the equivalent of a modem rack for ADSL. A typical

Internet Access application is shown next.

Internet Single User Account

For a SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) environment, your Prestige offers the Single User Account (SUA)

feature that allows multiple users on the LAN (Local Area Network) to access the Internet concurrently for

the cost of a single user.

1.3.2 LAN to LAN Application

You can use the Prestige to connect two geographically dispersed networks through an ADSL line. A

typical LAN-to-LAN application for your Prestige is shown as follows.
