Prestige 100 and 100IH ISDN Router and Router/Hub

Preface

About Your Prestige

Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige ISDN Router.
The Prestige 100 and 100IH are high-performance routers that offer complete solutions for your

WAN (Wide Area Network) applications such as Internet access, LAN-to-LAN connections,
telecommuting and remote access over ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network).

The Prestige 100 and 100IH are identical except that the 100IH has a built-in 4-port Ethernet hub.
We will refer to both models as the Prestige from now on and to individual models by their full
name (Prestige 100 or Prestige 100IH).

You do not need to set any switches to configure the Prestige. The user-friendly Prestige Web
Configurator (PWC) is a JAVA based utility that allows you to manage the Prestige via a
Worldwide Web browser. You can also manage the Prestige via the SMT (System Management
Terminal), a menu-driven interface that you can access from either a terminal emulator or telnet.

Setup Information

ISDN Line

1. Contact your local telephone company’s ISDN Ordering Center to find out what type of ISDN

service is available and the switch type.

2. When the telephone company installs your ISDN line, please be sure to obtain and write down the

following information for future use:

• ISDN switch type

• ISDN telephone number(s)

• ISDN Service Profile Identifiers (SPID) number(s) (only for North America).

Supplemental services such as Call Forwarding are supported by the Prestige but must be
subscribed to separately from the telephone company.

Ethernet Setup Information

IP Address - The IP Address is the unique 32-bit number assigned to your Prestige. This address

is written in dotted decimal notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by
periods), e.g., 192.168.1.1.

Management & Maintenance (Chapters 8-10)

Troubleshooting (Chapter 11)

Please note that every machine on a network must have a unique IP address - do not assign an
arbitrary address to any machine. If you are not sure as to which IP address to assign to the
Prestige, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or refer to Chapter 3 of this guide for more
details.

IP Subnet Mask - An IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. The IP
Subnet Mask is used to specify the network ID portion of the address, expressed in dotted decimal
notation. The Prestige automatically calculates this mask based on the IP address that you assign.
Unless you have a special need for subnetting, use the default mask as calculated by the Prestige.

Preface xvii

Prestige 100 and 100IH ISDN Router and Router/Hub

Chapter 1

Getting to Know Your ISDN Router

1.1 Features of the Prestige

ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) Support

The Prestige supports a single BRI. A BRI offers two 64 Kbps channels, which can be used
independently for two destinations or be bundled to speed up data transfer.

Extensive Analog Phone Support

The Prestige is equipped with two standard phone jacks for you to connect analog devices such as
telephones and FAX machines. It also supports supplementary services such as call waiting and
3-way calling.

Single User Account (SUA)

The SUA™ (Single User Account) feature allows multiple users to share a single IP address
(either dynamic or static) assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Incoming Call Support

In addition to making outgoing calls, the Prestige allows you to configure it as a remote access
server for telecommuting employees.

TCP/IP and PPP Support

♦ TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network layer protocol.
♦ PPP/MP (Point-to-Point Protocol/Multilink Protocol) link layer protocol.

Integrated 4-Port Ethernet Hub (P100IH only)

The Prestige 100IH is equipped with a built-in 4-port Ethernet 10Base-T hub. The built-in hub
eliminates the need to purchase a separate hub when building a one to four-port network. For a
larger number of workstations, additional hubs can be daisy-chained to the Prestige.

Getting to know your Prestige 1-1

Prestige 100 and 100IH ISDN Router and Router/Hub

AUI Interface (P100 only)

The Prestige 100 has an additional AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) or 10 Base-5 port in addition
to a 10 Base-T port. The AUI allows you to connect the Prestige to a thicknet cable. If you have
thinnet cable (10 Base-2) you need an external transceiver to connect the Prestige to the cable.

Dial-On-Demand

The Dial-On-Demand feature allows the Prestige to automatically place a call to a remote
gateway based on the triggering packet’s destination without user intervention.

PPP Multilink

The Prestige can bundle multiple links in a single connection using PPP Multilink Protocol (MP).
The number of links can be either statically configured or dynamically managed based on traffic
demand.

Bandwidth-On-Demand

The Prestige dynamically allocates bandwidth by dialing and dropping connections according to
traffic demand.

Full Network Management

♦ Accessing SMT (System Management Terminal) through telnet connection.
♦ Web-based PWC (Prestige Web Configurator).

Logging and Tracing

♦ CDR (Call Detail Record) to help to analyze and manage the telephone bill.
♦ Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
♦ Unix syslog facility support.

PAP and CHAP Security

The Prestige supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP; however, PAP is readily available on
more platforms.

DHCP Support

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the workstations on your LAN to obtain
the configuration from the Prestige.

1-2 Getting to know your Prestige

Prestige 100 and 100IH ISDN Router and Router/Hub

Call Control

Your Prestige provides budget management for outgoing calls and maintains a blacklist for
unreachable phone numbers in order to save you the expense of unnecessary charges.

Data Compression

Your Prestige incorporates Stac data compression to speed up data transfer. Stac is the de facto
standard of data compression over PPP links.

Networking Compatibility

Your Prestige is compatible with remote access products from other manufacturers such as
Ascend, Cisco, and 3Com. Furthermore, it supports Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT
remote access capability.

Prestige Web Configurator

The Prestige Web Configurator is a JAVA based utility designed to allow users to access the
Prestige’s management settings via a Worldwide Web browser.

Backup and Restore Configuration File via LAN or WAN

The PCT (Prestige Configuration Transfer), a stand-alone Java-based utility, allows backup and
restoration of the configuration file via LAN or WAN.

Upgrade P100IH Firmware via LAN

The PCT allows upgrading of the Prestige 100IH firmware over the local LAN.

Supplementary Voice Features

The Prestige supports the following Supplementary Voice Features on both of its analog, or POTS
(Plain Old Telephone Service), phone ports:

♦ Call Waiting
♦ Three Way Calling (conference)
♦ Call Transfer
♦ Call Forwarding

protocol, which the Internet uses exclusively. It is also compatible with access servers
manufactured by major vendors such as Cisco and Ascend. 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 user. Single User Account address mapping can also
be used for other LAN to LAN connections.

1.2.2 LAN-to-LAN Connection

You can use the Prestige to connect two geographically dispersed networks over the ISDN line.
A typical LAN-to-LAN application for your Prestige is shown below.

1.2.3 Remote Access Server

Your Prestige allows remote users to dial-in and gain access to your LAN. This feature enables
users that have workstations with remote access capabilities, e.g., Windows 95, to dial in to
access the network resources without physically being in the office. Either PAP (Password
Authentication Protocol) or CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) authentication
can be used to control the access from the remote users. You can also use callback for security
and/or accounting purposes.

This section outlines how to connect your Prestige 100 and 100IH to the LAN and to the ISDN
network.

2-4 Hardware Installation and Setup

Prestige 100 and 100IH ISDN Router and Router/Hub

Step 1. Connecting the ISDN Line

Connect the Prestige to the ISDN network using the included ISDN (black) cable. Plug one end
of the cable into the port labeled ISDN BRI and the other to the ISDN wall jack.

Step 2. Connecting a Workstation to the Prestige

UTP Interface

Ethernet 10Base-T networks use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors that
look like a bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. Connect a workstation to the built-in hub on the
Prestige 100IH to create an Ethernet network. Connect one end of a straight through Ethernet
cable (white tag) to the NIC on the workstation and the other end to one of the built-in 4 Ethernet
ports on the Prestige 100IH (Figure 2-3). Use the crossover cable (red tag) to connect your
Prestige 100 to a computer directly or use straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) to connect to
an external hub (as shown in Figure 2-4) and then connect one end of a straight through Ethernet
cable (white tag) from the hub to the NIC on the workstation.

AUI (P100 only)

The AUI (Attachment Unit Interface), or 10 Base-5, port allows you to connect the Prestige 100
to a thicknet cable. If you have thinnet cable (10 Base-2) you need an external transceiver to
connect the Prestige 100 to the cable. Connect one end of a straight through Ethernet cable to the
NIC on the workstation and the other end to one of the AUI ports.

Connecting a Telephone/Fax to the Prestige

If you wish, you can connect regular telephones, fax machines or other analog devices to the
Prestige. To connect an analog device, plug the end of the telephone cord from the device to
either port PHONE1 or PHONE2 on the rear panel of the Prestige.

Step 3. Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige

Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.

Step 4. 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 (smaller)
end of the console cable to the console port of the Prestige and the 25-pin (bigger) end to a serial
port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your workstation. You can use an extension RS-232
cable if the enclosed one is too short.

Hardware Installation and Setup 2-5

Chapter 9 - Telnet Configuration and Capabilities for detailed instructions on using telnet to
configure your Prestige.

2.3 Additional Installation Requirements

In addition to the contents of your package, there are other hardware and software requirements
you need before you can install and use your Prestige. These requirements include:

1. A computer with Ethernet 10Base-T NIC (Network Interface Card).

2. A computer equipped with communications software configured to the following parameters:

♦ VT100 terminal emulation.
♦ 9600 bps (bits per second).
♦ No parity, 8 Data bits, 1 Stop bit.

After the Prestige is properly set up, you can make future changes to the configuration through
telnet connections.
