Prestige 650M-17 ADSL Modem

Preface

Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 650M-17 ADSL Internet Access modem.

The Prestige 650M-17 is an ADSL modem used for Internet/LAN access via an ISDN line. The Prestige 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 ISDN 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 Prestige’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) using Telnet. Advanced users may configure the Prestige using CLI (Command Line Interface) commands.

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 modem using SMT menus. It is designed to guide you through the correct configuration of your Prestige for various applications.

What is DSL?

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) 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. What are the advantages of ADSL from the point of view of the Network Service Provider (NSP) and the end user?

1.3 Applications for the Prestige

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 (Digital Subscriber

Line Access Multiplexer) providers. A DSLAM is a rack of ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into a

backbone network interface/connection (for example, 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 below.

Figure 1-1 Internet Access Application

1.3.2 LAN to LAN Application

You can use the Prestige to connect two geographically dispersed networks over the ADSL line. A typical

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

Refer to section 2.7 for information on the RESET button.

2.3 Additional Installation Requirements

 A computer with an Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T NIC (Network Interface Card).

After the Prestige has been successfully connected to your network, you can make future changes to the configuration via Telnet.

2.4 Connecting an ISDN Splitter

This device keeps the ISDN and ADSL signals separated, giving them the capability to provide simultaneous Internet access and ISDN service on the same line. Splitters also eliminate the destructive interference conditions caused by telephone sets. The purchase of an ISDN splitter is optional.

Noise generated from a telephone in the same frequency range as the ADSL signal, can disrupt the ADSL signal. In addition the impedance of a telephone when off-hook may be so low that it shunts the strength of the ADSL signal. When an ISDN splitter is installed at the entry point, where the line comes into the home, it will filter the ISDN signals before combining the ADSL and ISDN signals transmitted and received. The issues of noise and impedance are eliminated with a single ISDN splitter installation.

An ISDN splitter is easy to install as shown in the following figure.

2.6.2 Entering Password

When you turn on your Prestige, it performs several internal tests as well as line initialization. After the initialization, the Prestige asks you for the password, as shown next.

For your first login, enter the default password “1234”. As you type the password, the screen displays an “*” for each character you type.

Please note that if there is no activity for longer than five minutes after you log in, your Prestige will automatically log you out.

2.7 Resetting the Prestige

If you forget your password or cannot access the Prestige, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file. Uploading this configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factorydefault configuration file. This means that you will lose all previous configurations; the password will be reset to “1234” and the LAN IP address to 192.168.1.1.

To obtain the default configuration file, download it from the ZyXEL FTP site, unzip it and save it in a folder.

To upload the configuration file, follow the instructions in menu 24.6. For more information, refer to the Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance chapter.

All custom settings will be lost once you reset to the default settings.

2.7.1 Methods of Restoring Factory–Defaults

You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:

1. Upload the default configuration file via Telnet as described above. Refer to Chapter 7 in this User’s Guide for more information on how to transfer a configuration file to your Prestige using the SMT menus.

2. Use the RESET button on the rear panel of the Prestige (see the next section).
