Preface xvii
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
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.

GETTING STARTED
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.

Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
Chapter 1
Getting To Know Your Prestige
This chapter describes the key features and applications of your Prestige.
1.1 Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
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
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 can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream transmission rates
of 832 Kbps. Prestige with ADSL over POTS also supports rate management.
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.
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
Getting To Know Your Prestige 1-1
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
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.
Traffic Redirect
Traffic Redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway on the LAN when the Prestige cannot connect
to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary backup when your regular WAN connection fails.
• Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the Prestige and other UPnP enabled devices can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.
Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address, allowing the
host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must register for this service
with a Dynamic DNS client.
Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support
Your Prestige supports up to 8 PVC’s.
ADSL Transmission Rate Standards
♦ Full-Rate (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1) with line rate support of up to 8 Mbps
downstream and 832 Kbps upstream.
♦ G.lite (G.992.2) with line rate support of up to 1.5Mbps downstream and 512Kbps upstream.
♦ Supports Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.994.1 and G.996.1 (for
ISDN only); G.991.1; G.lite (G992.2)).
♦ TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network layer protocol.
1-2 Getting To Know Your Prestige
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
♦ ATM Forum UNI 3.1/4.0 PVC.
♦ Supports up to 8 PVCs (UBR, CBR).
♦ Multiple Protocols over AAL5 (RFC 1483).
♦ PPP over Ethernet over AAL5 (RFC 2516).
♦ PPP over PAP (RFC 1334).
♦ PPP over CHAP (RFC 1994).
• Protocol Support
♦ DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) to obtain
the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in
DHCP server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and
DNS servers to DHCP clients. The Prestige can now also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP
Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.
♦ IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet
interface. The Prestige supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet
interface with the Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
♦ IP Policy Routing (IPPR)
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router takes the shortest path
to forward a packet. 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.
♦ PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) link layer protocol.
♦ Transparent bridging (IEEE 802.1D) with bridge filters for unsupported network layer protocols.
♦ RIP I/RIP II

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
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 IP address.
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.

Hardware Installation and Initial Setup 2-3
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
2.2.1 DSL Port
Connect the Prestige directly to the wall jack using the included DSL cable. Connect a microfilter(s)
between the wall jack and your telephone(s). A microfilter acts as a low-pass filter (voice transmission
takes place in the 0 to 4KHz bandwidth) and is an optional purchase.
2.2.2 Console Port
Use terminal emulator software on a computer for configuring your Prestige via console port. Connect the
7-pin end of a console cable to the console port of the Prestige and the 9-pin female end to a serial port
(COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer.
2.2.3 LAN 10/100M Port
Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T networks use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable with RJ-11 connectors
(POTS) that look like a bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. Use the crossover cable to connect your Prestige
to a computer directly or use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to an external hub, then connect
one end of the straight-through cable from the hub to the NIC on the computer.
When the Prestige is on and properly connected to a computer or a hub, the LAN
LED on the front panel turns on.
2.2.4 Power Port
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWERon the rear panel of your Prestige.
To avoid damage to the Prestige, make sure you use the correct power adapter.
Refer to the Power Adapter Specification Appendix for this information.
2.2.5 Reset Button
Refer to section 2.8 for information on the RESET button.
2.3 Additional Installation Requirements
A computer with an Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T NIC (Network Interface Card).
A computer equipped with communications software (for example, Hyper Terminal in Windows 95)
configured to the following parameters:
VT100 terminal emulation.
9600 baud rate.
2-4 Hardware Installation and Initial Setup
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
Parity set to none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.
Flow control set to none.
After the Prestige has been successfully connected to your network, you can make future changes to the
configuration via Telnet or the embedded web configurator.
2.4 Prestige with POTS
Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 relate to people who use their Prestige with ADSL over POTS (analog telephone
service) only.
2.4.1 Connecting a POTS Splitter
This is for the Prestige that follows the Full Rate (G.dmt) standard only. One major difference between
ADSL and dial-up modems is the optional telephone splitter. This device keeps the telephone and ADSL
signals separated, giving them the capability to provide simultaneous Internet access and telephone service
on the same line. Splitters also eliminate the destructive interference conditions caused by telephone sets.
The purchase of a POTS splitter is optional.
Noise generated from a telephone in the same frequency range, as the ADSL signal can be disruptive to 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 a POTS splitter is installed at the entry point, where the line comes into
the home, it will filter the telephone signals before combining the ADSL and telephone signals transmitted
and received. The issues of noise and impedance are eliminated with a single POTS splitter installation.
A telephone splitter is easy to install as shown in the following figure.
Figure 2-3 Connecting a POTS Splitter
Step 1. Connect the side labeled “Phone” to your telephone.
Hardware Installation and Initial Setup 2-5
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
Step 2. Connect the side labeled “Modem” to your Prestige.
Step 3. Connect the side labeled “Line” to the telephone wall jack.
2.4.2 Telephone Microfilters
Telephone voice transmissions take place in the lower frequency range, 0 - 4KHz, while ADSL
transmissions take place in the higher bandwidth range, above 4KHz. A microfilter acts as a low-pass filter,
for your telephone, to ensure that ADSL transmissions do not interfere with your telephone voice
transmissions. The purchase of a telephone microfilter is optional.
Step 1. Connect a phone cable from the wall jack to the single jack end of the Y- Connector.
Step 2. Connect a cable from the double jack end of the Y-Connector to the “wall side” of the
microfilter.
Step 3. Connect another cable from the double jack end of the Y-Connector to the Prestige.
Step 4. Connect the “phone side” of the microfilter to your telephone as shown in the following figure.
Figure 2-4 Connecting a Microfilter
2.5 Prestige With ISDN
This section relates to people who use their Prestige with ADSL over ISDN (digital telephone service) only.
The following is an example installation for the Prestige with ISDN.
2-6 Hardware Installation and Initial Setup
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
Figure 2-5 Prestige with ADSL over ISDN
2.6 Turning On Your Prestige
At this point, you should have connected the DSL, LAN 10/100M, console and power ports to the
appropriate devices. Make sure the power adapter is plugged into an appropriate power source and the
power switch (located on the back of your Prestige) is “on” (or pressed).
2.7 Configuring Your Prestige For Internet Access
Configure your Prestige for Internet access using:
Web configurator (refer to the Read Me First)
SMT (System Management Terminal). Access the SMT via:
o LAN or WAN using Telnet
o Console port using terminal emulation software
The remainder of this user’s guide shows you how to configure the Prestige for Internet access using SMT
screens through the console port. There are also some sections in this guide that also focus on using Telnet
to configure the Prestige.

Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
2.7.1 Initial Screen
When you turn on your Prestige, it performs several internal tests as well as line initialization. After the
initialization, the Prestige asks you to press [ENTER] to continue.
The login screen appears after you press [ENTER], prompting you to enter the password, as shown next.
For your first login, enter the default password “1234”. As you type the password, the screen displays an
“X” 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 and will display a blank screen. If you see a blank screen, press [ENTER] to
display the login screen again.
Enter Password : XXXX
Figure 2-7 Login Screen
2.8 Resetting the Prestige
If you forget your password or cannot access the Prestige, you will need to reload the factory-default
configuration file. Uploading the configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factorydefault configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the
speed of the console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and
flow control set to none. The password will be reset to “1234” and the LAN IP address to 192.168.1.1 also.
Refer to the chapter on Firmware Maintenance for detailed, step-by-step instructions.

The DomainName entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank,
the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (System
Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the Prestige via DHCP.
2.11.1 Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or
many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe or other services).
You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a DNS-like address (for
example, myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) which will never change instead of using
an IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will always be able to call you
even if they don't know your IP address.
First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is for people
with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a DNS name.
To use this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS service provider. The Dynamic DNS service
provider will give you a password or key. The Prestige supports www.dyndns.org. You can apply to this
service provider for Dynamic DNS service.
DYNDNS Wildcard
Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP
address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use, for example,
www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.

Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
Chapter 3
Internet Access
This chapter shows you how to configure the LAN and WAN of your Prestige for Internet access.
3.1 Factory Ethernet Defaults
The Ethernet parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
1. IP address of 192.168.1.1 with a fixed subnet mask of 255.255.255.248.
2. DHCP server enabled with four client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.5.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If the parameters are satisfactory, you can
skip to TCP/IP Ethernet Setup and DHCP to enter the DNS server address(es) if your ISP gives you explicit
DNS server address(es). If you wish to change the factory defaults or to learn more about TCP/IP, please
read on.
3.2 LANs and WANs
A LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same
building or floor of a building. A WAN (Wide Area Network), on the other hand, is an outside connection
to another network or the Internet.
3.2.1 LANs, WANs and the Prestige
The actual physical connection determines whether the Prestige ports are LAN or WAN ports. There are
two separate IP networks, one inside, the LAN network; the other outside: the WAN network as shown
next:
Internet Access 3-1
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
Figure 3-1 LAN & WAN IPs
3.3 TCP/IP Parameters
3.3.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Like houses on a street that share a common street name, the computers on a LAN share one common
network number.
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network
administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP
addresses and the subnet mask.
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account
and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is
recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 (ignoring the trailing
zero) and you must enable the Single User Account feature of the Prestige. The Internet Assigned Number
Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other
number unless you are told otherwise. Let’s say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which
covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other
words, the first three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual
computer on that network.
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your Prestige will compute the
subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don’t need to change the subnet
mask computed by the Prestige unless you are instructed to do otherwise.
3-2 Internet Access
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
3.3.2 Private IP Addresses
Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from the Internet,
for example, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts without
problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three
blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks:
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or it can be assigned from a private network.
If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you
with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger
organization, you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.
Note: Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP
address; always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address
assignment, please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets
and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.
3.3.3 RIP Setup
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers.
The RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. When set to:
1. Both - the Prestige will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP information
that it receives.
2. In Only - the Prestige will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets received.
3. Out Only - the Prestige will send out RIP packets but will not accept any RIP packets received.
4. None - the Prestige will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.
The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the Prestige
sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported; but RIP-2 carries more
information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network topology.
Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses
subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.
Internet Access 3-3
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
3.3.4 DHCP Configuration
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) to obtain the
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP server
capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS
servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client. The Prestige can
also act as a surrogate DHCP server where it relays IP address assignment from the actual DHCP server to
the clients.
IP Pool Setup
The Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of four IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.5 for
the client machines. This leaves other IP addresses, 192.168.1.6 to 192.168.1.254 (excluding the Prestige
itself which has a default IP of 192.168.1.1) for other server machines, for example, server for mail, FTP,
telnet, web, etc., that you may have.
DNS Server Address
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa,
for example, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important
because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. The DNS server
addresses that you enter in the DHCP setup are passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP
address and subnet mask.
There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses. The first is for an ISP to tell a
customer the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when s/he signs up. If your
ISP does give you the DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup,
otherwise, leave them blank.
Some ISP’s choose to pass the DNS servers using the DNS server extensions of PPP IPCP (IP Control
Protocol) after the connection is up. If your ISP did not give you explicit DNS servers, chances are the DNS
servers are conveyed through IPCP negotiation. The Prestige supports the IPCP DNS server extensions
through the DNS proxy feature.
If the Primary and Secondary DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup are not specified, for instance, left as
0.0.0.0, the Prestige tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a computer sends a DNS
query to the Prestige, the Prestige forwards the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP and
relays the response back to the computer.
Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server extensions. It does not
mean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP setup under all circumstances. If your ISP gives you
explicit DNS servers, make sure that you enter their IP addresses in the DHCP Setup menu. This way, the
Prestige can pass the DNS servers to the computers and the computers can query the DNS server directly
without the Prestige’s intervention.
3-4 Internet Access
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
3.4 IP Multicast
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender – 1 recipient) or
Broadcast (1 sender – everybody on the network). Multicast is a third way to deliver IP packets to a group
of hosts on the network - not everybody.
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a
multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236) is an improvement over
version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. If you would like to read more detailed
information about interoperability between IGMP version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of
RFC 2236. The class D IP address is used to identify host groups and can be in the range 224.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255. The address 224.0.0.0 is not assigned to any group and is used by IP multicast computers.
The address 224.0.0.1 is used for query messages and is assigned to the permanent group of all IP hosts
(including gateways). All hosts must join the 224.0.0.1 group in order to participate in IGMP. The address
224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group.
The Prestige supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up, the Prestige
queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the Prestige periodically
updates this information. IP Multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the Prestige LAN and/or WAN
interfaces using menus 3.2 (LAN) and 11.3 (WAN). Select None to disable IP Multicasting on these
interfaces.
3.5 IP Policies
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router takes the shortest path to
forward a packet. 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. Policy-based
routing is applied to incoming packets on a per interface basis, prior to the normal routing. Create policies
using SMT menu 25 (see IP Policy Routing) and apply them on the Prestige LAN and/or WAN interfaces
using menus 3.2 (LAN) and 11.3 (WAN).
3.6 IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into different logical networks over the same Ethernet
interface. The Prestige supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface with
the Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
Use menu 3.2.1 to configure IP Alias on your Prestige.

3.9 Multiplexing
There are two conventions to identify what protocols the virtual circuit (VC) is carrying. Be sure to use the
multiplexing method required by your ISP.
3.9.1 VC-based Multiplexing
In this case, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a specific virtual circuit, for example,
VC1 carries IP, etc. VC-based multiplexing may be dominant in environments where dynamic creation of
large numbers of ATM VCs is fast and economical.
3.9.2 LLC-based Multiplexing
In this case one VC carries multiple protocols with protocol identifying information being contained in each
packet header. Despite the extra bandwidth and processing overhead, this method may be advantageous if it
is not practical to have a separate VC for each carried protocol, for example, if charging heavily depends on
the number of simultaneous VCs.
3.10 Encapsulation
Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The Prestige supports the following
methods.
3.10.1 PPP over Ethernet
PPPoE provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP.
The Prestige bridges a PPP session over Ethernet (PPP over Ethernet, RFC 2516) from your computer to an
ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) which connects to a xDSL Access Concentrator where the PPP
session terminates. One PVC can support any number of PPP sessions from your LAN. For more
information on PPPoE, see the Appendices.
3.10.2 RFC 1483
RFC 1483 describes two methods for Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5).
The first method allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit (LLC-based
multiplexing) and the second method assumes that each protocol is carried over a separate ATM virtual
circuit (VC-based multiplexing). Please refer to the RFC for more detailed information.
Internet Access 3-11
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
3.11 IP Address Assignment
A static IP is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different
one each time. The Single User Account feature can be enabled or disabled if you have either a dynamic or
static IP. However the encapsulation method assigned influences your choices for IP Address and ENET
ENCAP Gateway.
3.11.1 Using PPPoE Encapsulation
If you have a dynamic IP, then the IP Address and ENET ENCAP Gateway fields are not applicable (N/A).
If you have a static IP, then you only need to fill in the IP Address field and not the ENET ENCAP
Gateway field.
3.11.2 Using RFC 1483 Encapsulation
In this case the IP Address Assignment must be static with the same requirements for the IP Address and
ENET ENCAP Gateway fields as stated above.
3.12 Internet Access Configuration
Menu 4 allows you to enter the Internet Access information in one screen. Menu 4 is actually a simplified
setup for one of the remote nodes that you can access in menu 11. Before you configure your Prestige for
Internet access, you need to collect your Internet account information from your ISP and telephone
company.
Use the following table to record your Internet Account Information. Note that if you are using PPPoA or
PPPoE encapsulation, then the only ISP information you need is a login name and password. You only need
to know the Ethernet Encapsulation Gateway IP address if you are using ENET ENCAP encapsulation.

3.12.1 Traffic Shaping
Traffic Shaping is an agreement between the carrier and the subscriber to regulate the average rate and
“burstiness” or fluctuation of data transmission over an ATM network. This agreement helps eliminate
congestion, which is important for transmission of real time data such as audio and video connections.
Peak Cell Rate (PCR) is the maximum rate at which the sender can send cells. This parameter may be lower
(but not higher) than the maximum line speed. 1 ATM cell is 53 bytes (424 bits), so a maximum speed of
832 Kbps gives a maximum PCR of 1962 cells/sec. This rate is not guaranteed because it is dependent on
the line speed.
Sustained Cell Rate (SCR) is the mean cell rate of a bursty, on-off traffic source that can be sent at the peak
rate, and a parameter for burst-type traffic. SCR may not be greater than the PCR; the system default is 0
cells/sec.
Maximum Burst Size (MBS) is the maximum number of cells that can be sent at the PCR. After MBS is
reached, cell rates fall below SCR until cell rate averages to the SCR again. At this time, more cells (up to
the MBS) can be sent at the PCR again.
If the PCR, SCR or MBS is set to the default of “0”, the system will assign a
maximum value that correlates to your upstream line rate.
The following figure illustrates the relationship between PCR, SCR and MBS.

Chapter 4
Remote Node Configuration
This chapter covers the parameters that are protocol-independent. Protocol-dependent
configuration (TCP/IP and Bridging) is covered in the following chapters.
A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both the remote
gateway and the network behind it across a WAN connection. When you use menu 4 to set up Internet
access, you are configuring one of the remote nodes.
4.1 Remote Node Setup
This section describes the protocol-independent parameters for a remote node.
4.1.1 Remote Node Profile
To configure a remote node, follow these steps:
Step 1. From the main menu, enter 11todisplayMenu 11 - Remote Node Setup.
Step 2. When menu 11 appears, as shown in the following figure, type the number of the remote node
that you want to configure.

4.1.2 Encapsulation and Multiplexing Scenarios
For Internet access you should use the encapsulation and multiplexing methods used by your ISP. For
LAN-to-LAN applications, for example, between a branch office and corporate headquarters, prior
agreement on methods is necessary because encapsulation and multiplexing cannot be automatically
determined. What method(s) you use depends on how many VCs you have and how many different network
protocols you need. Here are some examples of more suitable combinations in such an application.
Scenario 1. One VC, One Protocol (IP)
Selecting RFC-1483 encapsulation with VC-based multiplexing requires the least amount of overhead (0
octets). However, if there is a potential need for multiple protocol support in the future, you need to
reconfigure either computer later.
Scenario 2. Multiple VCs
If you have an equal number (or more) of VCs than the number of protocols, then select RFC-1483
encapsulation and VC-based multiplexing.
Nailed-Up Connection (PPPoE)
A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic demand.
The Prestige does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection.
The first is that idle timeout is disabled.
4-2 Remote Node Configuration
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
The second is that the Prestige will try to bring up the connection when turned on and whenever the
connection is down.
A nailed-up connection can be very expensive for obvious reasons. Do not specify a nailed-up connection
unless your telephone company offers flat-rate service or you need a constant connection and the cost is of
no concern.

For obvious reasons, you should employ the strongest authentication protocol possible. However, some
vendors’ implementation includes specific authentication protocol in the user profile. It will disconnect if
the negotiated protocol is different from that in the user profile, even when the negotiated protocol is
stronger than specified. If the peer disconnects right after a successful authentication, make sure that you
specify the correct authentication protocol when connecting to such an implementation.

5.1.1 IP Static Route Setup
Static routes tell the Prestige routing information that it cannot learn automatically through other means.
This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is beyond the one that is
directly connected to a remote node.
Remote Node TCP/IP Configuration 5-3
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected and the Prestige
has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the
following figure through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to
network N3 because it does not know that there is a route through remote node Router 1 (via Router 2). The
static routes allow you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

FIELD DESCRIPTION
Route Name Type a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only.
Active This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Destination IP Address This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
Routing is always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to
a single host, use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field
to force the network number to be identical to the host ID.
IP Subnet Mask Type the subnet mask for this destination. Follow the discussion on IP Subnet
Mask in this manual.
Gateway IP Address Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of
your Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the
gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over WAN,
the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.
Metric Metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing
uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly
connected networks. Type a number that approximates the cost for this link.
The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice,
2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Private This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote
node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and is not
included in RIP broadcasts. If No, the route to this remote node will be
propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.

Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
Chapter 6
Bridging Setup
This chapter shows you how to configure the bridging parameters of your Prestige.
6.1 Bridging in General
Bridging bases the forwarding decision on the MAC (Media Access Control), or hardware address, while
routing does it on the network layer (IP) address. Bridging allows the Prestige to transport packets of
network layer protocols that it does not route, for example, SNA, from one network to another. The caveat
is that, compared to routing, bridging generates more traffic for the same network layer protocol, and it also
demands more CPU cycles and memory.
For efficiency reasons, do not turn on bridging unless you need to support protocols other than IP on your
network. For IP, enable the routing if you need it; do not bridge what the Prestige can route.
6.2 Bridge Ethernet Setup
Basically, all non-local packets are bridged to the WAN. Your Prestige does not support IPX.
6.2.1 Remote Node Bridging Setup
Follow the procedure in another section to configure the protocol-independent parameters in Menu 11.1 –
Remote Node Profile. For bridging-related parameters, you need to configure Menu 11.3 – Remote Node

6.2.2 Bridge Static Route Setup
Similar to network layer static routes, a bridging static route tells the Prestige the route to a node before a
connection is established. You configure bridge static routes in menu 12.3.1 (go to menu 12, choose option
3, then choose a static route to edit) as shown next.

Chapter 7
Network Address Translation (NAT)
This chapter discusses how to configure NAT on the Prestige.
7.1 Introduction
Typically, if there are multiple users on the LAN that want concurrent access to the Internet, you must lease
a block of legal or globally unique IP addresses from an ISP. The NAT feature lets you enjoy the same
benefits as having multiple legal addresses, but only pay for one IP address, thus saving significantly on
subscription fees (check with your ISP before you enable this feature). The IP address for the NAT can be
either fixed or dynamically assigned by the ISP. In addition, you can designate servers, e.g., a web server or
a Telnet server, on your local network and make them accessible to the outside world (see below). If you do
not define a server, NAT offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. If no server is defined, all
incoming inquiries will be filtered out by your Prestige, thus preventing intruders from probing your
network. Your Prestige accomplishes address sharing by translating the internal LAN IP addresses to a
single address that is globally unique on the Internet. For more information on IP address translation, refer
to RFC 1631 - The IP Network Address Translator (NAT).
Multiple Servers behind NAT
Even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single computer to the outside world, A
service is identified by the port number; the following table shows the most common services and their
corresponding port numbers.
Table 7-1 Services and Port Numbers
SERVICES PORT NUMBER
ECHO 7
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) 21
Telnet 23
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) 25
NAT 7-1
Prestige 650ME ADSL Bridge
Table 7-1 Services and Port Numbers
SERVICES PORT NUMBER
DNS (Domain Name System) 53
Finger 79
HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer protocol or WWW, Web) 80
POP3 (Post Office Protocol) 110
NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol) 119
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) 161
SNMP trap 162
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) 1723
So, if you have a web server at IP address 192.168.1.6 and a FTP server at IP address 192.168.1.7, then you
need to specify port 80 (web) for the server at IP address 192.168.1.6 and port 21 (FTP) for the FTP server
at IP address 192.168.1.7.
A server can support more than one service, e.g., a server can provide both FTP and DNS service, while
another provides only web service. Furthermore, since you need to specify the IP address of a server in the
Prestige, a server must have a fixed IP address and not be a DHCP client whose IP address potentially
changes each time it is turned on.
In addition to servers for specific services, NAT supports a default server. A service request that does not
have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the default server is not
defined, the service request is simply discarded.
7.1.1 Applying NAT
You apply NAT via menus 4 or 11.3 as displayed next. Follow the steps below to apply NAT for Internet
access in menu 4.
Step 1. Enter 4 from the main menu to go to Menu 4 - Internet Access Setup.
Step 2. Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select SUA Only in the Network Address
Tranlstaion field.
