Information for Canadian Users

The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets
certain telecommunications network protective, operation, and safety requirements. The Industry Canada
does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to a user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of
the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method
of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service
may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly. The customer should be aware that the
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated
by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions,
may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

For their own protection, users should ensure that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution
may be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate
electrical inspection authority or electrician, as appropriate.

Note

This digital apparatus does not exceed the class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set
out in the radio interference regulations of Industry Canada.

Chapter 1

Getting to Know Your Prestige

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Prestige.

1.1 The Prestige 314 Broadband Sharing Gateway With 4-Port Switch

The Prestige 314 is a dual Ethernet Broadband Sharing Gateway with an integrated 4-port switch and
advanced network management features. It is designed for home offices and small businesses to easily and
quickly access the Internet via Cable/ADSL modem or broadband router. ZyXEL’s Prestige 314 provides not
only ease of installation and Internet access, but also a complete solution to efficiently manage data traffic on
your network. The embedded web configurator is a breeze to operate and totally independent of the operating
system platform you use.

1.2 Features of the Prestige 314

The following are the essential features of the Prestige 314.

Broadband WAN Connection with Integrated Four-Port Switch

The P314 sports a 10 Mbps Ethernet port for a cable or DSL modem connection as well as an integrated 4­Port Switch allowing up to 4 computers on your network to enjoy super-fast Internet access without the need
for an additional hub.

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 with a Dynamic
DNS client to use this service.

IP Multicast

Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in two ways - unicast or broadcast. Multicast is a third way to
deliver IP packets to a group of hosts. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol used to
support multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC 2236). Both versions 1 and 2 are
supported by the Prestige.

Packet Filtering

The Packet Filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.

PPPoE

PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed data
networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.

Getting to Know Your Prestige 1-1

P314 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

Full Network Management

Your Prestige offers you a variety of options for network management. It supports password protected local
and remote network management via the console port or a telnet connection using SMT (System
Management Interface) or the Embedded Web Configurator. It also supports FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
server for remote management, TFTP (Trivial FTP), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and CI
(Command Interpreter) mode.

Auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps Ethernet

The 4 LAN ports automatically detect if it’s on a 10 or a 100 Mbps Ethernet.

Single User Account (SUA)

SUA is ZyXEL’s version of NAT (Network Address Translation) which enables multiple users to share a
single ISP account, thereby accessing the Internet for the cost of a single IP address.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

The Prestige supports DHCP Server and Client (RFC 2131 and RFC 2132). The Prestige's DHCP server
capability allows you to automatically assign TCP/IP settings to a workstation on your LAN. The Prestige's
DHCP client capability allows it to get automatically its IP address from the ISP on the WAN.

RoadRunner Support

In addition to standard cable modem services, the Prestige supports Time Warner’s RoadRunner Service.

Logging and Tracing

The Prestige has the following features:

Built-in message logging and packet tracing.

♦

UNIX syslog facility support.

♦

Upgrade Prestige Firmware via LAN

The firmware of the Prestige 314 can be upgraded via the LAN.

Embedded FTP and TFTP Servers

The Prestige’s embedded FTP and TFTP servers enable fast firmware upgrade as well as configuration file
backup and restoration.

1.3 Broadband Internet Access via Cable or DSL Modem

A cable modem or DSL modem can be connected to the Prestige 10M WAN Ethernet port and up to four
computers can be connected to the four Prestige 10/100M LAN Ethernet ports for super-fast broadband
Internet access. The Prestige provides not only the high speed Internet access but also a complete solution to
efficiently manage data traffic on your network.

This section outlines how to connect your Prestige 314 to the LAN and the WAN. In the case of connecting a
cable modem you must connect the coaxial cable from your cable service to the threaded coaxial cable
connector on the back of the cable modem. Connect a DSL Modem to the DSL Wall Jack. Please also

Step 1: Connecting the Console Port

For the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use terminal emulator software on a workstation
and connect it to the Prestige through the console port. Connect the 9-pin end of the console cable to the
console port of the Prestige and the other end (choice of 9-pin or 25-pin, depending on your computer) end
to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your workstation. You can use an extension RS-232

Step 2b.

Step 3: Connecting the Prestige to your LAN

You can connect up to four computers directly to the Prestige. For each computer, connect the 10/100M LAN
port on the Prestige to the Network Adapter on the PC using a straight through Ethernet cable (white tag). If
you have more than four computers, you must use an external hub. Connect LAN port 4 (next to the
button) on the Prestige to a port on the external hub using a straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) and
press the
chain the Prestige to an external hub, then you must use a crossover cable (red tag).
