Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 650 ADSL Internet Access Router.
There are two Prestige 650 models, one for ADSL over POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) and one for
ADSL over ISDN (Integrated Synchronous Digital System). Both models are discussed together in this
guide.
The P650 ADSL router can run maximum upstream transmission rates of up to 832Kbps and maximum
downstream transmission rates of 8Mbps. The actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone
wire, distance from the central office and the type of ADSL service subscribed to. See the What is DSL
section for more background information on DSL and ADSL.
The P650's 10/100M auto-negotiating LAN interface enables fast data transfer of either 10Mbps or
100Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
Your Prestige is easy to install and configure. All functions of the Prestige are software configurable via the
SMT (System Management Terminal) and web configurator. Advanced users may configure the Prestige
using CLI (Command Line Interface) commands.
Don’t forget to register your Prestige (fast, easy online registration at
www.zyxel.com) for free future product updates and information.
About This User's Guide
This user's guide covers all aspects of Prestige 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 650 for various applications.

Preface xix
Prestige 650 ADSL Router
What is DSL?
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) technology enhances the data capacity of the existing twisted-pair wire that
runs between the local telephone company switching offices and most homes and offices. While the wire
itself can handle higher frequencies, the telephone switching equipment is designed to cut off signals above
4,000 Hz to filter noise off the voice line, but now everybody is searching for ways to get more bandwidth
to improve access to the Web - hence DSL technologies.
There are actually seven types of DSL service, ranging in speeds from 16 Kbits/sec to 52 Mbits/sec. The
services are either symmetrical (traffic flows at the same speed in both directions), or asymmetrical (the
downstream capacity is higher than the upstream capacity). Asymmetrical services (ADSL) are suitable for
Internet users because more information is usually downloaded than uploaded. For example, a simple
button click in a web browser can start an extended download that includes graphics and text.
As data rates increase, the carrying distance decreases. That means that users who are beyond a certain
distance from the telephone company’s central office may not be able to obtain the higher speeds.
A DSL connection is a point-to-point dedicated circuit, meaning that the link is always up and there is no
dialing required.
What is ADSL?
It is an asymmetrical technology, meaning that the downstream data rate is much higher than the upstream
data rate. As mentioned, this works well for a typical Internet session in which more information is
downloaded, for example, from Web servers, than is uploaded. ADSL operates in a frequency range that is
above the frequency range of voice services, so the two systems can operate over the same cable.

This part is structured as a step-by-step guide to help you connect, install and set up your
Prestige to operate on your network and to access the Internet. Described are Key Features and
Applications, Hardware Installation, Initial Setup and Internet Access.

Chapter 1
Getting To Know Your Prestige
This chapter describes the key features and applications of your Prestige.
1.1 Prestige 650 ADSL Internet Access Router
Your Prestige integrates a high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface and one 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 650
Your Prestige is packed with a number of features that give it the flexibility to provide a complete
networking solution for almost any user.
High Speed Internet Access
Your Prestige ADSL router can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream
transmission rates of 832 Kbps. Prestige 650 with ADSL over POTS also supports rate management.
PPPoE Support (RFC2516)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your ISP to use their
existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the
Prestige is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE
thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE clients on individual computers.

NAT 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. NAT supports popular Internet applications such as MS traceroute, CuSeeMe, IRC,
RealPlayer, VDOLive, Quake, and PPTP. No configuration is needed to support these applications.
