Getting to Know Your Router
This chapter describes the key features and applications of your Prestige.
1.1 Prestige 480 ISDN Router
The Prestige 480 is a dual-line multi-protocol ISDN router. The Prestige is ideal for everything from Internet browsing or receiving calls from remote dial-in users to making LAN-to-LAN connections to remote networks.
1.2 Features of Prestige 480
The following are the key features of the Prestige 480.
Dual ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) Support
The P480 supports two BRI, with each BRI offering two 64Kbps channels. The channels can be used independently for up to four destinations simultaneously in any incoming/outgoing combination or be bundled in a single connection to speed up data transfer.
Mega Bundle or Multiple ISPs Support
The P480 can call a second, third or fourth ISP when the traffic exceeds a certain threshold and split the traffic between the various connections. The P480 refers to this multiple ISPs support as Mega Bundle.
IP Alias
The P480 allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks. It support three logical networks on the same physical Ethernet segment and allows the users to access the Internet using Prestige's Single
Getting to know your Prestige 1-1
User Account feature. The ability to partition physical network into logical network over the same Ethernet interface is referred to as IP Alias functionality.
Dial-in Server
The four B-channels and the dial -in capability make the Prestige an ideal platform as a dial-in server to provide remote access for up to four telecommuting employees.
Auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
The LAN interface automatically detects if it’s on a 10 or a 100 Mbps Ethernet and adjusts itself for the highest speed.
Single User Account (SUA)
The SUA™ (Single User Account) features allows multiple users on the LAN to share Internet access for the price of a single ISP account.
DNS Proxy
The DNS (Domain Name System) proxy capability eliminates the need of statically configuring the DNS servers.
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server/relay support allows the workstations on your LAN to obtain the configuration from the Prestige.
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.
Multiple Protocol Support
♦ TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network layer protocol. ♦ IPX (Internetwork Packet eXchange) network layer protocol. ♦ Transparent bridging for unsupported network layer protocols.
1-2 Getting to know your Prestige
IP Policy Routing Support
The Prestige can now override the default routing behavior and forward packets based on the policies defined by the network administrator.
PPP Support
The Prestige supports PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) link layer protocol.
PPP Multilink Support
The Prestige can bundle up to four B-channels in a single connection using the PPP Multilink Protocol The number of links can be either statically configured or dynamically managed based on traffic demand.
Bandwidth-On-Demand
The Prestige can dynamically allocate bandwidth by adding and dropping links according to traffic demand. The telephone number of an additional link can be obtained either with BAP (Bandwidth Allocation Protocol) or statically configured.
Full Network Management
♦ Windows based PNC (Prestige Network Commander). ♦ SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support. ♦ SMT (System Management Terminal) access through telnet connection.
PNC
The Prestige Network Commander (PNC) is a C++ based utility designed to allow users to access the Prestige’s management settings via Windows. For configuring your Prestige with PNC, use PNC ISDN Series Version 2.20.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a management protocol for collecting information from devices on the network. When TCP/IP is configured in your Prestige, the SNMP agent functionality allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network.
Getting to know your Prestige 1-3
SMT
The System Management Terminal (SMT) is a menu-driven interface to configure your Prestige using either console port (through RS232 cable) connection or telnet (through LAN) connection. You can access the SMT from either a VT100 compatible terminal or a terminal emulation program on a computer.
Logging and Tracing
♦ CDR (Call Detail Record) for assistance in analyzing and managing the telephone bill. ♦ Built-in message logging and packet tracing. ♦ UNIX syslog facility support.
RADIUS Support
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is the most popular protocol for user authentication on dial -up lines. RADIUS support allows you to use an external server for unlimited number of users and helps in the centralized management of the users database.
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.
CLID Support
CLID (Calling Line Identification) allows the Prestige to authenticate the caller before a call is answered, thus saving the cost of a connection. The Prestige uses the caller ID in call setup message to match against the CLID in database. (Note: The telephone company must support Caller ID for CLID authentication to work on the Prestige.)
Call Back
The Callback feature allows the Prestige to disconnect a call and then call back when an authorized remote user dials into the system. This prevents intruders from accessing your network and makes accounting easier when you use the Prestige as a dial -in server.
1-4 Getting to know your Prestige
Packet Filtering
The Prestige supports packet filtering that stops leakage of private data to the outside world and controls access to undesirable locations.
Call Control
Your Prestige provides budget management for outgoing calls and maintains a blacklist for unreachable phone numbers, thus saving 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 dial-up networking (DUN) capability.
Firmware Upgrade
In addition to the direct console port connection, the Prestige supports the uploading of firmware and the configuration file using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol). TFTP over the WAN is not recommended because of potential data corruption problems.
Backup and Restore Configuration File
You can backup the configuration of the Prestige to your workstation and also restore the configuration from your workstation using direct console port connection, FTP and TFTP.

2.12 NetCAPI Setup
2.12.1 Basics
NetCAPI is ZyXEL's implementation of CAPI (Common ISDN Application Program Interface) capabilities over a network. It runs over DCP (Device Control Protocol) developed by RVS-COM.
NetCAPI can be used for applications such as Eurofile transfer, file transfer, G3/G4 Fax, Autoanswer host mode, telephony, etc. on Windows 95/98/NT platforms.
2.12.2 CAPI
CAPI is an interface standard that allows applications to access ISDN services. Several applications can share one or more ISDN lines. When an application wants to communicate with an ISDN terminal it sends a series of standard commands to the terminal. The CAPI standard defines the commands and allows you to use a well-defined mechanism for communications using ISDN lines.
CAPI also simplifies the development of ISDN applications through many default values that do not need to be programmed. It provides a unified interface for applications to access the different ISDN services such as data, voice, fax, telephony, etc.
2.12.3 ISDN-DCP
ISDN-DCP allows a workstation on the LAN to use services such as transmitting and receiving faxes as well as placing and receiving phone calls.
Hardware Installation and Setup 2-17
NetCAPI
CAPI Driver
RVS-COM Lite
Using ISDN-DCP, the Prestige acts as a DCP server. By default, the Prestige listens for DCP messages on TCP port number 2578 (the Internet-assigned number for RVS-COM DCP). When the Prestige receives a DCP message from a DCP client i.e., a workstation, the Prestige processes the message and acts on it. Your Prestige supports all the DCP messages specified in the ISDN -DCP specification.
2.12.4 RVS-COM
RVS-COM includes an ISDN CAPI driver with its communication program. RVS-CE (Core Engine) is an ISDN -CAPI 2.0 driver for Windows 95/98/NT that can be used by different ISDN communication programs (such as AVM Fritz or RVS-COM) to access the ISDN on the Prestige.
NetCAPI can carry out CAPI applications only if the CAPI driver is installed on your workstation. In addition to the CAPI driver, you will need a communication software program such as RVS-COM Lite, Fritz etc., for users to access CAPI.
The ISDN router is a shared device and can be used by several different client workstations at the same time: e.g. one workstation sending a fax, another workstation doing a file transfer. RVS-COM has to be installed on each client workstation in order to share the ISDN lines.
2.13 Configuring the P480 as a NetCAPI Server
This section describes how to configure your Prestige to be a NetCAPI server using the SMT (System Management Terminal).
[Note: For configuring your Prestige with the PNC, use PNC ISDN Series version 2.20 or above.] By default, NetCAPI is enabled on your Prestige. When NetCAPI is enabled, the Prestige listens for
incoming DCP messages from the workstations. By default, the Prestige listens for DCP messages on TCP port 2578.
The following figure illustrates the configuration.
2-18 Hardware Installation and Setup
Prestige
Figure 2-14 Configuration Example
Before entering any configurations, you must install the CAPI driver (RVS-CE) and communication program such as RVS-COM Lite on your workstation.
2.13.1 Installing the CAPI driver and Communication Software
[Note: Please uninstall previous versions of "RVS-CAPI" and "RVS-COM lite" before you install the new versions. You may use the Windows "START | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs" to uninstall RVS-CAPI and RVS-COM.]
To install the CAPI driver and the communication software, enter one of the license keys of your RVS-COM Lite CD -ROM and follow the instructions on the configuration wizard. When you install RVS-Lite, RVS­COM AUTOMATICALLY instal ls CAPI driver before installing RVS-Lite.
Note: If you did not install RVS-Lite and want to use other programs such as AVM Fritz to access the ISDN router, you must first install the CAPI driver - RVS -CE using the English version installation wizard (in \DISKs\CEPE\ DISK1\) and start the SETUP.EXE.

The Ethernet parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
1. IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits).
2. DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33. These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If the parameters are satisfactory, you can
skip to section 3.4 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.

3.3 TCP/IP Parameters
3.3.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the houses on a street that share a common street name, the machines on a LAN share one common network number, also.
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 3 numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual workstation on that network.
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, e.g.,
192.168.1.1, for your Prestige. 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 other wise.
3-2 Internet Access
3.3.2 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 Both, the Prestige will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it 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 a 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. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting, also.
By default, RIP direction is set to Both and the Version set to RIP-1.
3.3.3 DHCP Configuration
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (workstations) 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. Your Prestige can also be configured as a Relay. When configured as a relay, the Prestige relays the requests and responses between the clients and the real DHCP server.
IP Pool Setup
The Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64. This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the Prestige itself) in the lower range for other server machines, e.g., server for mail, FTP, telnet, web, etc., that you may have.
Internet Access 3-3
DNS Server Address
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, e.g., the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, a user must know the IP address of a machine before s/he 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 .
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, i.e., left as 0.0.0.0, the Prestige tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a workstation 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 workstation.
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 workstations and the workstations can query the DNS server directly without the Prestige’s intervention.
Relay Server Address
When the DHCP is set to Relay, the Prestige will request IP addresses from a real DHCP server and relay the address to the workstation making the request.

Typically, if there are multiple users on the LAN wanting to concurrently access the Internet, you will have to lease a block of legal, or globally unique, IP addresses from the ISP.
The Single User Account (SUA) feature allows you to have the same benefits as having m ultiple legal addresses, but only pay for one IP address, thus saving significantly on the subscription fees. (Check with your ISP before you enable this feature).

The Single User Account feature may also be used on connections to remote networks other than the ISP. For example, this feature can be used to simplify the allocation of IP addresses when connecting branch offices to the corporate network.

INTERNET
The IP address for the SUA can be either fixed or dynamically assigned when a call is connected. In addition, you can designate servers using Menu 15, e.g., a web server and a telnet server, on your local network and make them accessible to the outside world. For more information on setting up servers see the section Multiple Servers behind SUA in the chapter Dial-in Server Configuration .
If you do not define any server, SUA offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. If no server is defined, all incoming inquiries will be filtered out by your Prestige and thus preventing intruders from probing your network.
Your Prestige accomplishes this 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).
3.7.1 Advantages of SUA
In summary: l SUA is a cost-effective solution for small offices with less than 64 hosts to access the Internet or other
remote TCP/I P networks.
l SUA supports servers to be accessible to the outside world. l SUA can provide firewall protection if you do not specify a server. All incoming inquiries will be
filtered out by your Prestige.
l UDP and TCP packets can be routed. In addition, parti al ICMP, including echo and trace route, is
supported.

3.8 Mega Bundle or Multiple ISPs Support
3.8.1 Basics
If ISPs do not support multilink bundle of more than 2 links, it would be impossible for a user to dedicate all 4 channels available in a P 480 to Internet access. To differentiate P 480 from other similarly equipped products, it is desirable to be able to support bundle of 4 links where P 480 calls a second ISP when the traffic exceeds a certain threshold and split the traffic between the two connections. The Prestige refers to this multiple ISPs support as Mega Bundle.
Mega Bundle design is as listed below.
1. One remote node is designated as the main ISP and another the supplementary ISP. The Prestige dials the first and second link on the main ISP using the existing mechanism.
2. If a supplementary remote node is specified, BOD behalves as if the maximum number of channels is 4 and the adding and dropping of channels are governed by the main remote node’s multilink parameters alone.
3. When the traffic triggers the third link (as determined by BOD), the Prestige calls the supplementary ISP. Since the new connection is a separate PPP session, it will have a different IP address and thus a new interface.
4. Because of NAT, if an IP connection is already assigned to a particular interface, then it must remain on that interface. For new connections, the round-robin method is used to assign a connection to either the main or the supplementary ISP. Non-IP traffic is simply distributed evenly on a packet-by-packet basis.
5. Once the Prestige determines which interface a connection uses, the MP channel assignment within each bundle remains the same as the existing method.
Internet Access 3-17
3.8.2 ISP Remote Node and Supplementary Remote Node
The previous ZyNOS versions supported only one ISP account. That remote node is called as the “ISP remote node”. Now in ZyNOS v2.42, you can setup other ISP accounts and this is called as “supplementary remote node”.
You can have several “Supplementary remote node”, but only one “ISP remote node”. These remote nodes can work at the same time. “Supplementary remote” is almost the same as “ISP remote node” except that “supplementary remote node” will not appear in the routing table as default route.

3.10 Configuring Backup ISP Accounts
If you have more than one ISP account, you can configure the secondary ISP as a backup. You can switch to the backup ISP in the event that the primary ISP is out of service. The SUA feature can be enabled for all these accounts.
3.10.1 Configure a Backup ISP
To configure a backup ISP Account, follow these steps:
Step 1. Configure your primary ISP using Menu 4, as described earlier in this chapter. Step 2. Enter Menu 11, then select an unused remote node. Step 3. In Menu 11.1, choose a name for your backup ISP account, then set the Active field to No, and
enter your outgoing login name, password, and phone number(s). The Remote IP Address field should be set to 1.1.1.1.
Step 4. In Menu 11.3, set the remote node's subnet mask to 0.0.0.0, and set RIP to None. Step 5. Save the new configuration.
Please note that the remote IP addr ess of 1.1.1.1 is only a placeholder to avoid conflicting with that of the primary ISP, which is implicitly set at 0.0.0.0. When the backup ISP is activated, the remote IP address of
1.1.1.1 combined with the subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 creates a default route that is equivalent to the one derived form the primary ISP.
3.10.2 To Switch ISP
Follow these steps when you need to switch from your primary ISP to a backup ISP:
Step 1. Enter Menu 11 and select your Primary ISP. Step 2. In Menu 11.1, set the Active field to No. Step 3. Enter Menu 11 again and select your Backup ISP. Step 4. In Menu 11.1, set the Active field to Yes.
3-20 Internet Access
You will now be able to access the Internet through the backup ISP Remote Node.

Chapter 4
Remote Node Configuration
This chapter covers the parameters that are protocol independent. The protocol-
dependent configuration (TCP/IP) is covered in the next chapter.
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. Note that when you use Menu 4 to set up Internet access, you are actually configuring one of the remote nodes. Once a remote node is configured correctly, traffic to the remote network will trigger your Prestige to make a call automatically, i.e., Dial On Demand.
4.1 Remote Node Setup
This section describes the protocol -independent parameters for a remote node.

4.1.2 Nailed-up Connection
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 at power -on and whenever the connection is down.
A nailed-up connection can be very expensive for obvious reasons. Please 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.
4.1.3 Outgoing Authentication Protocol
Generally speaking, you should employ the strongest authentication protocol possible, for obvious reasons. However, some vendor’s 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 you encounter the case where the peer disconnects right after a
Remote Node Configuration 4-5
successful authentication, please make sure that you specify the correct authentication protocol when connecting to such an implementation.
4.1.4 PPP Multilink
The Prestige uses the PPP Multilink Protocol (PPP/MP ) to bundle multiple links in a single connection to boost the effective throughput between two nodes. The bundle works best when the member links are of the same type of call and at approximately the same speed.
Due to the fragmentation/reconstruction overhead associated with MP, you may not get a linear increase in throughput when a link is added.
The number of links in an MP bundle can be statically configured, or dynamically determined at runtime, as explained in the following section.
4.1.5 Bandwidth on Demand
The Bandwidth on Demand (BOD ) feature adds or subtracts links dynamically according to traffic demand. After the initial call, the Prestige uses BAP (Bandwidth Allocation Protocol) to ask the peer for an additional telephone number if BACP (Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol) is negotiated. Otherwise, the Prestige uses the statically configured (primary and secondary) telephone numbers of the remote node.
The configuration of bandwidth on demand focuses on the Base Transmission Rate (BTR) and the Maximum Transmission Rate (MTR). The relationship between BTR and MTR are shown next:
4-6 Remote Node Configuration
Table 4-2 BTR v MTR for BOD
BTR & MTR Setting No. of channel(s) used Max No. of channel(s) used Bandwidth
on demand
BTR = 64, MTR = 64 1 1 Off BTR = 64, MTR = 128 1 2 On BTR = 128, MTR = 128 2 2 Off BTR = 256, MTR = 256 4 4 On
The Min. Channels and Max. Channels allows you to force the Prestige to use a minimum and maximum number of channels.
When bandwidth on demand is enabled, a second channel will be brought up if traffic on the initial channel is higher than the high Target Utility for second channel number for longer than the specified Add Persist value. Similarly, the second channel will be dropped if the traffic level falls below the low Target Utility number for longer than the Subtract Persist value.
When the Max. Channels is set to 3 or 4 and the threshold set in the Target Utility is reached for the second channel a third and fourth channel is opened. The Bandwidth increment for
Additional Channels specifies the line utilization range at which you want the Prestige to add or subtract the third and fourth channel.
The Target Utility specifies the line utilization range at which you want the Prestige to add or subtract bandwidth. The range is 30 to 64 kbps (kilobits per second). The parameters are separated by a ‘-’. For example, ‘30 -60’ means the add threshold is 30 kbps and subtract threshold is 60 kbps. The Prestige performs bandwidth on demand only if it initiates the call. Addition and subtraction are based on the values set in the BOD Calculation field. If this field is set to Transmit or Receive, then traffic in either direction will be included to determine if a link should be added or dropped. Transmit will only use outgoing traffic to make this determination and Receive will only use incoming traffic to make this determination.
After making the call to bring up a second channel, if the second channel does not succeed in joining the Multilink Protocol bundle (because the remote device does not recognize the second call as coming from the same device), the Prestige will hang up the second call and continue with the first channel alone.
