Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

Introduction to 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.

Introduction to 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.

Getting Started

Part I:

GETTING STARTED

This part is structured as a step-by-step guide to help you access your Prestige. It covers key

features and applications.

I

Prestige 650M-6x User’s Guide

Chapter 1

Getting To Know Your Prestige

This chapter describes the key features and applications of your Prestige.

1.1 Introducing the Prestige

Your Prestige integrates high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface(s) 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.

Models ending in “1”, for example P650M-61, denote a device that works over the analog telephone system,
POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). Models ending in “3” denote a device that works over ISDN
(Integrated Synchronous Digital System). Models ending in “7” denote a device that works over T-ISDN
(UR-2).

Only use firmware for your Prestige’s specific model. Refer to the label on the

bottom of your Prestige.

Your Prestige is easy to install and configure using CLI (Command Line Interface) commands.

1.2 Features of the Prestige

The following sections describe the features of the Prestige.

 High Speed Internet Access

Your Prestige ADSL modem can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream
transmission rates of 832 Kbps.

 10/100M Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface(s)

This auto-negotiation feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust
appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either
half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.

 Auto-Crossover (MDI/MDI-X) 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Interface(s)

These interfaces automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.

♦ Supports up to 2 PVCs (UBR, CBR, VBRrt, VBRnrt).

♦ Multiple Protocol over AAL5 (RFC 1483).

♦ RFC 1661.

♦ Extended-Reach ADSL (ER ADSL)

 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 supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

 Encapsulation

The Prestige supports RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM.

 Network Management

♦ Supports OAM F4/F5 loop-back, AIS and RDI OAM cells

 Ease of Installation

Your Prestige is designed for quick, easy and intuitive installation. Its compact size and light weight make it
easy to position anywhere in your busy office.

1.3 Applications for the Prestige

Here is an example use for which the Prestige is well suited.

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. A typical Internet access application is shown below.

2.3 Resetting the Prestige

If you forget your password or cannot access the Prestige, you will need to use the RESET button at the back
of the Prestige to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all
configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to “1234”.

2.3.1 Using The Reset Button

Step 1. Make sure the PWR/SYS LED is on (not blinking).
Step 2. Press the RESET button for more than five seconds or until the PWR/SYS LED begins to blink

and then release it. When the PWR/SYS LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored
and the Prestige restarts.

2.4 Changing the Password

It is highly recommended that you change the password for accessing the Prestige.

Change the Prestige default password by using the command shown next. Make sure you store the password
in a safe place.
