Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
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.

Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
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. The Prestige is an ADSL router compatible with the
ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards. Maximum data rates attainable by the Prestige for each standard are
shown in the next table.
DATA RATE
STANDARD
ADSL
ADSL2
ADSL2+
The standard your ISP supports determines the maximum upstream and
downstream speeds attainable. Actual speeds attained also depend on the
distance from your ISP, noise, line quality, etc.
UPSTREAM DOWNSTREAM
832 kbps 8Mbps
3.5Mbps 12Mbps
3.5Mbps 24Mbps
By integrating DSL and NAT, the Prestige provides ease of installation and Internet access.
Models ending in “1”, for example P660R-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.
The web browser-based Graphical User Interface provides easy management.
Getting To Know Your Prestige 1-1
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
1.2 Features of the Prestige
The following sections describe the features of the Prestige.
High Speed Internet Access
Your Prestige ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ router can support downstream transmission rates of up to 24Mbps
and upstream transmission rates of up to 3.5Mbps. Actual speeds attained depend on ISP DSLAM
environment.
Traffic Redirect
Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the Prestige cannot connect to the Internet,
thus acting as an auxiliary if 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.
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.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within one
network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP address known
within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).
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.
These interfaces automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.
1-2 Getting To Know Your Prestige
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
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 service provider.
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.
♦ TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network layer protocol.
♦ ATM Forum UNI 3.1/4.0 PVC.
♦ Supports up to 8 PVCs (UBR, CBR, VBR).
♦ Multiple Protocol over AAL5 (RFC 1483).
♦ PPP over AAL5 (RFC 2364).
♦ PPP over Ethernet over AAL5 (RFC 2516).
♦ RFC 1661.
♦ 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
Getting To Know Your Prestige 1-3
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
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 for unsupported network layer protocols.
♦ RIP I/RIP II
♦ IGMP Proxy
♦ ICMP support
♦ ATM QoS support
♦ MIB II support (RFC 1213)

Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
Chapter 3
Wizard Setup
This chapter provides information on the Wizard Setup screens in the web configurator.
3.1 Wizard Setup Introduction
Use the Wizard Setup screens to configure your system for Internet access settings and fill in the fields with
the information in the Internet Account Information table of the Read Me First. Your ISP may have already
configured some of the fields in the wizard screens for you.
3.2 Encapsulation
Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The Prestige supports the following methods.
3.2.1 ENET ENCAP
The MAC Encapsulated Routing Link Protocol (ENET ENCAP) is only implemented with the IP network
protocol. IP packets are routed between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and then formatted so
that they can be understood in a bridged environment. For instance, it encapsulates routed Ethernet frames
into bridged ATM cells. ENET ENCAP requires that you specify a gateway IP address in the ENET ENCAP Gateway field in the second wizard screen. You can get this information from your ISP.
3.2.2 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 ADSL 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 appendix.
3.2.3 PPPoA
PPPoA stands for Point to Point Protocol over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). A PPPoA connection
functions like a dial-up Internet connection. The Prestige encapsulates the PPP session based on RFC1483
and sends it through an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) to the Internet Service Provider’s (ISP)
DSLAM (digital access multiplexer). Please refer to RFC 2364 for more information on PPPoA. Refer to
RFC 1661 for more information on PPP.
Wizard Setup 3-1
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
3.2.4 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.
3.3 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.
3.3.1 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.
3.3.2 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.
3.4 VPI and VCI
Be sure to use the correct Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) numbers
assigned to you. The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255 and for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (0 to 31 is reserved
for local management of ATM traffic). Please see the appendix for more information.

3.6 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do 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 and you must enable the
Network Address Translation (NAT) 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.
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance,
192.168.1.1, for your Prestige, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.
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.
3.7 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.
3-4 Wizard Setup
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
3.7.1 IP Assignment with PPPoA or 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.
3.7.2 IP Assignment with 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.
3.7.3 IP Assignment with ENET ENCAP Encapsulation
In this case you can have either a static or dynamic IP. For a static IP you must fill in all the IP Address and
ENET ENCAP Gateway fields as supplied by your ISP. However for a dynamic IP, the Prestige acts as a
DHCP client on the WAN port and so the IP Address and ENET ENCAP Gateway fields are not applicable
(N/A) as the DHCP server assigns them to the Prestige.
3.7.4 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.
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.

Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
3.8 Nailed-Up Connection (PPP)
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.
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
3.9 NAT
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a
packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network to a different IP
address known within another network.

LAN Setup
This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
5.1 LAN Overview
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached. A
LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building.
The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP addresses.
5.1.1 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 and the other outside the WAN network as shown next:
Figure 5-1 LAN and WAN IP Addresses
5.2 DNS Server Address
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa.
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.
LAN Setup 5-1
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
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 gives you the DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in the LAN Setup screen,
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 the LAN Setup screen 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 LAN Setup screen. 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.
5.3 DNS Server Address Assignment
Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The
DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before
you can access it.
There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses.
1. The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign
up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup.
2. The Prestige acts as a DNS proxy when the Primary and Secondary DNS Server fields are left blank in
the LAN Setup screen.
5.4 LAN TCP/IP
The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that
support DHCP client capability.
5.4.1 Factory LAN Defaults
The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
5-2 LAN Setup
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server
address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need to be configured.
5.4.2 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Refer to the IP Address and Subnet Mask section in the Wizard Setup chapter for this information.
5.4.3 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.
5.4.4 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 delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the
network - not everybody and not just 1.
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-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 IGMP 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 in the web configurator (LAN; WAN). Select None to disable IP multicasting on these
interfaces.

Chapter 6
WAN Setup
This chapter describes how to configure WAN settings.
6.1 WAN Overview
A WAN (Wide Area Network) is an outside connection to another network or the Internet.
See the Wizard Setup chapter for more information on the fields in the WAN screens.
6.2 Metric
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best route for transmission by
choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a
minimum of "1" for directly connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number
greater than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the "cost".
The metric sets the priority for the Prestige’s routes to the Internet. If any two of the default routes have the
same metric, the Prestige uses the following pre-defined priorities:
1. Normal route: designated by the ISP (see section 6.5)
2. Traffic-redirect route (see section 6.6)
3. WAN-backup route, also called dial-backup (see section 6.6)
For example, if the normal route has a metric of "1" and the traffic-redirect route has a metric of "2" and dialbackup route has a metric of "3", then the normal route acts as the primary default route. If the normal route
fails to connect to the Internet, the Prestige tries the traffic-redirect route next. In the same manner, the
Prestige uses the dial-backup route if the traffic-redirect route also fails.
If you want the dial-backup route to take first priority over the traffic-redirect route or even the normal route,
all you need to do is set the dial-backup route’s metric to "1" and the others to "2" (or greater).
IP Policy Routing overrides the default routing behavior and takes priority over all
of the routes mentioned above (see the IP Policy Routing chapter).
6.3 PPPoE Encapsulation
The Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard (RFC
2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless,
etc.) connection. The PPPoE option is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE.
WAN Setup 6-1
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access
control systems (for example Radius). PPPoE provides a login and authentication method that the existing
Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate, and therefore requires no new learning or procedures
for Windows users.
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, a function
known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP
services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no specific
configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the Prestige (rather than individual computers), the computers on the
LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the Prestige does that part of the task. Furthermore, with
NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have access.
6.4 Traffic Shaping
Traffic Shaping is an agreement between the carrier and the subscriber to regulate the average rate and
fluctuations 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
832Kbps 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 each bursty traffic source. It specifies the maximum
average rate at which cells can be sent over the virtual connection. SCR may not be greater than the PCR.
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.

Figure 6-3 Traffic Redirect Example
The following network topology allows you to avoid triangle route security issues when the backup gateway
is connected to the LAN. Use IP alias to configure the LAN into two or three logical networks with the
Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network. Put the protected LAN in one subnet (Subnet 1 in the
following figure) and the backup gateway in another subnet (Subnet 2). Configure filters that allow packets
from the protected LAN (Subnet 1) to the backup gateway (Subnet 2).

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Metric This field sets this route's priority among the routes the Prestige uses.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best
route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses
hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly
connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number
greater than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the
"cost".

Network Address Translation (NAT)
Screens
This chapter discusses how to configure NAT on the Prestige.
7.1 NAT Overview
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a
packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network to a different IP
address known within another network.
7.1.1 NAT Definitions
Inside/outside denotes where a host is located relative to the Prestige, for example, the computers of your
subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside hosts.
Global/local denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a router, for example, the
local address refers to the IP address of a host when the packet is in the local network, while the global
address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is traveling in the WAN side.
Note that inside/outside refers to the location of a host, while global/local refers to the IP address of a host
used in a packet. Thus, an inside local address (ILA) is the IP address of an inside host in a packet when the
packet is still in the local network, while an inside global address (IGA) is the IP address of the same inside
host when the packet is on the WAN side. The following table summarizes this information.
Table 7-1 NAT Definitions
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Inside This refers to the host on the LAN.
Outside This refers to the host on the WAN.
Local This refers to the packet address (source or destination) as the packet travels on the LAN.
Global This refers to the packet address (source or destination) as the packet travels on the WAN.
NAT 7-1
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
NAT never changes the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host.
7.1.2 What NAT Does
In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber (the inside
local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the WAN side. When
the response comes back, NAT translates the destination address (the inside global address) back to the inside
local address before forwarding it to the original inside host. Note that the IP address (either local or global)
of an outside host is never changed.
The global IP addresses for the inside hosts can be either static or dynamically assigned by the ISP. In
addition, you can designate servers, for example, a web server and a telnet server, on your local network and
make them accessible to the outside world. If you do not define any servers (for Many-to-One and Many-toMany Overload mapping – see Table 7-2), NAT offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. With no
servers defined, your Prestige filters out all incoming inquiries, thus preventing intruders from probing your
network. For more information on IP address translation, refer to RFC 1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT).
7.1.3 How NAT Works
Each packet has two addresses – a source address and a destination address. For outgoing packets, the ILA
(Inside Local Address) is the source address on the LAN, and the IGA (Inside Global Address) is the source
address on the WAN. For incoming packets, the ILA is the destination address on the LAN, and the IGA is
the destination address on the WAN. NAT maps private (local) IP addresses to globally unique ones required
for communication with hosts on other networks. It replaces the original IP source address (and TCP or UDP
source port numbers for Many-to-One and Many-to-Many Overload NAT mapping) in each packet and then
forwards it to the Internet. The Prestige keeps track of the original addresses and port numbers so incoming
reply packets can have their original values restored. The following figure illustrates this.
Figure 7-1 How NAT Works
7-2 NAT
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
7.1.4 NAT Application
The following figure illustrates a possible NAT application, where three inside LANs (logical LANs using IP
Alias) behind the Prestige can communicate with three distinct WAN networks. More examples follow at the
end of this chapter.
Figure 7-2 NAT Application With IP Alias
7.1.5 NAT Mapping Types
NAT supports five types of IP/port mapping. They are:
1. One to One: In One-to-One mode, the Prestige maps one local IP address to one global IP address.
2. Many to One: In Many-to-One mode, the Prestige maps multiple local IP addresses to one global IP
address. This is equivalent to SUA (for instance, PAT, port address translation), ZyXEL’s Single User
Account feature that previous ZyXEL routers supported (the SUA Only option in today’s routers).
NAT 7-3
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
3. Many to Many Overload: In Many-to-Many Overload mode, the Prestige maps the multiple local IP
addresses to shared global IP addresses.
4. Many-to-Many No Overload:
In Many-to-Many No Overload mode, the Prestige maps each local IP
address to a unique global IP address.
5. Server: This type allows you to specify inside servers of different services behind the NAT to be
accessible to the outside world.
Port numbers do not change for One-to-One and Many-to-Many No Overload NAT
mapping types.
The following table summarizes these types.

7.2 SUA (Single User Account) Versus NAT
SUA (Single User Account) is a ZyNOS implementation of a subset of NAT that supports two types of
mapping, Many-to-One and Server. The Prestige also supports Full Feature NAT to map multiple global
IP addresses to multiple private LAN IP addresses of clients or servers using mapping types as outlined in
Table 7-2.
7-4 NAT
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
1. Choose SUA Only if you have just one public WAN IP address for your Prestige.
2. Choose Full Feature if you have multiple public WAN IP addresses for your Prestige.
7.3 SUA Server
A SUA server set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can
make visible to the outside world even though SUA makes your whole inside network appear as a single
computer to the outside world.
You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of
the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on
port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service
(for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers. You can
allocate a server IP address that corresponds to a port or a range of ports.
Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such as a Web or
FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and may suspend your account
if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP.
Default Server IP Address
In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server IP address. A default server
receives packets from ports that are not specified in this screen.
If you do not assign an IP address in Server Set 1 (default server), the Prestige
discards all packets received for ports that are not specified here or in the remote
management setup.

7.6 Configuring Address Mapping
Ordering your rules is important because the Prestige applies the rules in the order that you specify. When a
rule matches the current packet, the Prestige takes the corresponding action and the remaining rules are
ignored. If there are any empty rules before your new configured rule, your configured rule will be pushed up
by that number of empty rules. For example, if you have already configured rules 1 to 6 in your current set
and now you configure rule number 9. In the set summary screen, the new rule will be rule 7, not 9. Now if
you delete rule 4, rules 5 to 7 will be pushed up by 1 rule, so old rules 5, 6 and 7 become new rules 4, 5 and
6.

Dynamic DNS Setup
This chapter discusses how to configure your Prestige to use Dynamic DNS.
8.1 Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS 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, etc.). You can also access your FTP
server or Web site on your own computer using a domain name (for instance myhost.dhs.org, where myhost
is a name of your choice) that 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 domain name. The Dynamic
DNS service provider will give you a password or key.
8.1.1 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.
If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use Dynamic DNS.

higher priority starts. The priorities for the different types of remote management sessions are as follows.
1. Telnet
2. HTTP
10.1.1 Remote Management Limitations
Remote management over LAN or WAN will not work when:
1. A filter in SMT menu 3.1 (LAN) or in menu 11.5 (WAN) is applied to block a Telnet, FTP or Web
service.
2. You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.
3. The IP address in the Secured Client IP field does not match the client IP address. If it does not
match, the Prestige will disconnect the session immediately.
4. There is already another remote management session with an equal or higher priority running. You
may only have one remote management session running at one time.

10.1.2 Remote Management and NAT
When NAT is enabled:
Use the Prestige’s WAN IP address when configuring from the WAN.
Use the Prestige’s LAN IP address when configuring from the LAN.
10.1.3 System Timeout
There is a default system management idle timeout of five minutes (three hundred seconds). The Prestige
automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for longer than this timeout period. The
management session does not time out when a statistics screen is polling.
10.2 Telnet
You can configure your Prestige for remote Telnet access as shown next.
Figure 10-1 Telnet Configuration on a TCP/IP Network
10.3 FTP
You can upload and download Prestige firmware and configuration files using FTP. To use this feature, your
computer must have an FTP client.
10.4 Web
You can use the Prestige’s embedded web configurator for configuration and file management. See the
online help for details.

Chapter 11
Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)
This chapter introduces the UPnP feature in the web configurator.
11.1 Introducing Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple peerto-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP
address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a
network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.
11.1.1 How do I know if I'm using UPnP?
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows XP). Each UPnP
compatible device installed on your network will appear as a separate icon. Selecting the icon of a UPnP
device will allow you to access the information and properties of that device.
11.1.2 NAT Traversal
UPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT. UPnP
network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their presence in the network to
other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions. NAT traversal allows
the following:
Dynamic port mapping
Learning public IP addresses
Assigning lease times to mappings
Windows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP.
See the Network Address Translation (NAT) chapter for further information about NAT.
11.1.3 Cautions with UPnP
The automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services may present network
security issues. Network information and configuration may also be obtained and modified by users in some
network environments.
UPnP 11-1
Prestige 660R ADSL 2+ Access Gateway
All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. Disable
UPnP if this is not your intention.
11.2 UPnP and ZyXEL
ZyXEL has achieved UPnP certification from the Universal Plug and Play Forum Creates UPnP™
Implementers Corp. (UIC). ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports IGD 1.0 (Internet Gateway Device). At
the time of writing ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports Windows Messenger 4.6 and 4.7 while
Windows Messenger 5.0 and Xbox are still being tested.
UPnP broadcasts are only allowed on the LAN.
See later sections for examples of installing UPnP in Windows XP and Windows Me as well as an example
of using UPnP in Windows.
11.2.1 Configuring UPnP
From the Site Map in the main menu, click UPnP under Advanced Setup to display the screen shown next.
Figure 11-1 Configuring UPnP
The following table describes the fields in this screen.

and Play (UPnP) Service
Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a
UPnP application to open the web configurator's login screen without entering
the Prestige's IP address (although you must still enter the password to
access the web configurator).
