Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

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 623ME-T User’s Guide

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 a high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface and a high-speed DSL
port into a single package. The Prestige is ideal for high-speed Internet browsing and making LAN-to-LAN
connections to remote networks. Provided with both USB and Ethernet ports, computers can share local
resources (such as printers and files) and access to the Internet – simultaneously.

The web browser-based Graphical User Interface provides easy management.

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.

Ease of Installation

Your Prestige is designed for quick, intuitive and easy installation. Physically, its compact size and lightness
make it easy to position anywhere in your busy office.

USB Port

The USB port is useful if you have an USB-enabled computer that does not have a network interface card for
attaching to your Ethernet network. Refer to Quick Start Guide for USB driver installation procedure in
Windows 98 SE/Me/2000/XP.

High Speed Internet Access

The Prestige supports downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream transmission rates of 800
Kbps.

10/100Mbps Auto-negotiating Fast Ethernet LAN Interface

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.

Getting To Know Your Prestige 1-1

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

Protocols Supported

• TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network layer protocol.

• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) link layer protocol.

• Transparent bridging for unsupported network layer protocols.

• DHCP Client, Server and Relay

• RIP I and RIP II

IP Policy Routing

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.

Call Scheduling

Configure call time periods to allow and restrict access to remote nodes.

Networking Compatibility

Your Prestige is compatible with the major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer)
providers, making configuration as simple as possible for you.

Multiplexing

Your Prestige supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Encapsulation

The Prestige supports RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM and PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516).

SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information
between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP
agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network.
The Prestige supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2).

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).

Full Network Management

• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support.

• SMT (System Management Terminal) through a telnet connection.

1-2 Getting To Know Your Prestige

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

• Web configurator.

PAP and CHAP Security

The Prestige supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure since the password is scrambled prior to transmission.
However, PAP is readily available on more platforms.

Filters

The Prestige's packet filtering functions allow added network security and management.

Reset Button

The Prestige comes with a reset button built into the rear panel. Use this button to restore the factory default
password to 1234, IP address to 192.168.1.1, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and DHCP server enabled with a
pool of 32 IP addressed starting at 192.168.1.33.

1.3 Applications for the Prestige

Here are some example uses for which the Prestige is well suited.

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 providers. A DSLAM is
a rack of ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into a backbone network interface/connection (e.g., 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 next.

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

2.5 Resetting the Prestige

If you forget your password or cannot access the Prestige, you will need to reload the factory-default
configuration file or use the RESET button the back of the Prestige. Uploading this configuration file
replaces the current configuration file with the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will
lose all configurations that you had previously. The password will be reset to “1234”, also.

2.5.1 Using The Reset Button

Make sure the PWR LED is on (not blinking) when you begin this procedure.

1. Press the RESET button for more than five seconds, then release it. If the PWR LED begins to blink,
the defaults have been restored and the Prestige restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.

2. Turn the Prestige off.

3. While pressing the RESET button, turn the Prestige on.

Continue to hold the RESET button. The PWR LED will begin to blink and flicker very quickly after about
10 or 15 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and the Prestige is now restarting.

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 Quick Start Guide. 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 PPPoE Encapsulation

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) that connects to an ADSL Access Concentrator where the PPP
session terminates. One PVC can support any number of PPP sessions from your LAN. The PPPoE option
is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE.

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

Wizard Setup 3-1

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

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.

3.2.2 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.

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

Wizard Setup 3-3

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

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.

3.7.1 IP Assignment with 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 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

3-4 Wizard Setup

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

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.

3.8 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.

3.10 DHCP Setup

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Prestige as a DHCP server or disable
it. When configured as a server, the Prestige provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If you turn
DHCP service off, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be
manually configured.

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

3.10.1 IP Pool Setup

The Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of IP addresses. This leaves a plurality of IP addresses, (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.

LAN Setup

This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.

4.1 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.

4.1.1 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; the other outside: the WAN network as shown next:

Figure 4-1 LAN and WAN IP Addresses

4.2 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.

LAN Setup 4-1

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

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 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.

4.3 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. Leave the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup blank (for example 0.0.0.0). The Prestige acts as a DNS
proxy when this field is blank.

4.4 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.

4.4.1 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.

4-2 LAN Setup

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

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.

4.4.2 IP Address and Subnet Mask

Refer to the IP Address and Subnet Mask section in the Wizard Setup chapter for this information.

4.4.3 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.

4.4.4 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 interface
in the web configurator. Select None to disable IP multicasting.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

This chapter discusses how to configure NAT on the Prestige.

5.1 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.

5.2 Single User Account Server (SUA Server)

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 multiple 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).

Figure 5-1 Single User Account Topology

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.

NAT 5-1

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

The IP address for the SUA can be either fixed or dynamically assigned when a call is connected. In addition,
you can designate servers, e.g., 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 server, SUA offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. If no server is
defined, all incoming inquiries are filtered by your Prestige, 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).

5.2.1 Advantages of SUA

In summary:
 SUA is a cost-effective solution for small offices with less than 20 hosts to access the Internet or other

remote TCP/IP networks.

 SUA supports servers to be accessible to the outside world.
 SUA can provide firewall protection if you do not specify a server. All incoming inquiries will be

filtered out by your Prestige.

 UDP and TCP packets can be routed. In addition, partial ICMP, including echo and trace route, is

supported.

5.2.2 Configuring Inside Servers

The Prestige enables you to make inside servers for different services, e.g., web or FTP, visible to the outside
users, even though SUA makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world.
The port number identifies a service, e.g., web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21.

Let's say you want to assign ports 22-25 to one server, port 80 to another and assign a default server IP
address of 192.168.1.35 as shown in the next figure.

5-2 NAT

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

Figure 5-2 Multiple Servers Behind NAT Example

Please note that 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. Also, 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 powered on.

In addition to the servers for specific services, SUA 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.

The most often used port numbers are described in the following table:

Dynamic DNS Setup

This chapter discusses how to configure your Prestige to use Dynamic DNS.

6.1 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.

6.1.1 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.

Remote Management Configuration

This chapter provides information on configuring remote management. Remote management is not

available on all models

7.1 Remote Management Overview

Remote management allows you to determine which services/protocols can access which Prestige interface
(if any) from which computers.

You may manage your Prestige from a remote location via:

 Internet (WAN only)  ALL (LAN and WAN)

 LAN only  Neither (Disable)

To disable remote management of a service, select Disable in the corresponding Server Access field.

7.1.1 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 an SMT console session running.

5. There is already another remote management session of the same type (web, FTP or Telnet)
running. You may only have one remote management session of the same type running at one time.

6. There is a web remote management session running with a Telnet session. A web session will be
disconnected if you begin a Telnet session; it will not begin if there already is a Telnet session.

Remote Management Configuration 7-1

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

7.1.2 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.

7.1.3 System Timeout

There is a system timeout of five minutes (three hundred seconds) for either the console port or
telnet/web/FTP connections. Your Prestige automatically logs you out if you do nothing in this timeout
period, except when it is continuously updating the status in menu 24.1 or when sys stdio has been
changed on the command line.

Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)

This chapter introduces the UPnP feature in the web configurator.

8.1 Universal Plug and Play Overview

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.

8.1.1 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.

8.1.2 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.

8.1.3 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 8-1

Prestige 623ME-T User’s Guide

All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. Disable
UPnP if this is not your intention.

8.2 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.

8.2.1 Configuring UPnP

Cancel

Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically
configure the Prestige so that they can communicate through the Prestige, for
example by using NAT traversal, UPnP applications automatically reserve a
NAT forwarding port in order to communicate with another UPnP enabled
device; this eliminates the need to manually configure port forwarding for the
UPnP enabled application.

Click Apply to save the setting to the Prestige.

Click Cancel to return to the previously saved settings.
