Preface xxvii

Prestige 650 Series 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.

What is 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 650 Series User’s Guide

 Four-Port Switch

A combination of switch and router makes your Prestige a cost-effective and viable network solution. You
can connect up to four computers to the LAN ports on you Prestige without the cost of a hub.

 High Speed Internet Access

Your Prestige ADSL router can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream
transmission rates of 832 Kbps. Prestige with ADSL over POTS also supports rate management.

 IEEE 802.11b 11Mbps Wireless LAN

The 11 Mbps wireless LAN provides mobility and a fast network environment for small and home offices.
Computers with wireless LAN Ethernet adapters can connect to the local area network without any wiring
efforts and enjoy reliable high-speed connectivity. This feature is not available on all models.

 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.

 IEEE 802.1x Network Security

The Prestige supports the IEEE 802.1x standard to enhance user authentication. Use the built-in user profile
database to authenticate up to 32 users using MD5 encryption. Use an EAP-compatible RADIUS (RFC2138,
2139 - Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server to authenticate a limitless number of users using
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). EAP is an authentication protocol that supports multiple types of
authentication.

 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).

 Traffic Redirect

Traffic Redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway on the LAN when the Prestige cannot connect to
the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary backup when your regular WAN connection fails.

 Firewall

The Prestige is a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service) protection. By default, when the
firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is blocked unless it is initiated from the

Getting To Know Your Prestige 1-3

Prestige 650 Series User’s Guide

LAN. The Prestige firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real time alerts,
reports and logs.

 IPSec VPN Capability

Establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect with business partners and branch offices using data
encryption and the Internet to provide secure communications without the expense of leased site-to-site lines.
The Prestige VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is fully interoperable with other IPSec-based VPN
products.

 Bandwidth Management

Bandwidth management allows you to allocate network resources according to defined policies. This policy­based bandwidth allocation helps your network to better handle real-time applications such as Voice-over-IP
(VoIP).

 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.

 10/100M Auto-negotiation Ethernet/Fast Ethernet 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.

 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 client.

 Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support

Your Prestige supports up to 8 PVC’s.

 ADSL 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.

♦ Supports Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.994.1 and G.996.1 (for

ISDN only); G.991.1;G.lite (G992.2)).

1-4 Getting To Know Your Prestige

Prestige 650 Series User’s Guide

♦ Supports OAM F4/F5 loop-back, AIS and RDI OAM cells.

♦ ATM Forum UNI 3.1/4.0 PVC.

♦ Multiple Protocols over AAL5 (RFC 1483).

♦ PPP over AAL5 (RFC 2364).

♦ PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516).

 DHCP Support

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows individual clients (computers) to obtain 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

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.

 Protocol Support

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

♦

o PPP over PAP (RFC 1334).

o PPP over CHAP (RFC 1994).

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

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 (Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexer) providers. A DSLAM is a rack of ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into a
backbone network interface/connection (for example, T1, OC3, DS3, ATM or Frame Relay). Think of it as
the equivalent of a modem rack for ADSL. In addition, for Prestige 650H/HW, you can insert an optional
wireless PCMICA card into the Prestige and allow wireless stations access to your network resources. A
typical Internet access application is shown below.

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 on 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 and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default of
9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set to none. The password will be reset to
“1234”, also.

2.5.1 Using The Reset Button

Step 1. Make sure the SYS LED is on (not blinking).

Step 2. Press the RESET button for five seconds, and then release it. When the SYS LED begins to

blink, the defaults have been restored and the Prestige restarts.

2.5.2 Uploading a Configuration File Via Console Port

This method is only applicable to Prestige models with a console port.

Step 1. Download the default configuration file from the ZyXEL FTP site, unzip it and save it in a folder.

Step 2. Turn off the Prestige, begin a terminal emulation software session and turn on the Prestige again.

When you see the message "Press Any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds", press any
key to enter debug mode.

Step 3. Enter "atlc" after "Enter Debug Mode" message.

Step 4. Wait for "Starting XMODEM upload" message before activating Xmodem upload on your

terminal. This is an example Xmodem configuration upload using HyperTerminal.

Step 5. Click Transfer, then Send File to display the following screen.

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 Compact Guide or 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 Ethernet
Encapsulation 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). It provides access control
and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP. 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 650 Series User’s Guide

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.

what protocol you chose above. Click on the protocol link to see the next wizard screen for
that protocol.

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 650 Series User’s Guide

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 650 Series User’s Guide

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.

different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on
the Internet).

Choose SUA Only if you have a single public IP address. SUA (Single User Account) is a
subset of NAT that maps one public IP address to many private IP addresses.

Choose Full Feature if you have multiple public IP addresses. When you select Full Feature,
you must use the NAT address mapping rules screen to configure at least one address
mapping set. Full Feature mapping types include: One-to-One, Many-to-One (SUA), Many-

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.
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 650 Series 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 650 Series 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 and/or
WAN interfaces in the web configurator (LAN; WAN). Select None to disable IP multicasting on these
interfaces.

Chapter 5

Wireless LAN Setup

This chapter discusses how to configure Wireless LAN on the Prestige. This chapter is only

applicable to the Prestige 650H and Prestige 650HW.

5.1 Wireless LAN Overview

This section introduces the wireless LAN and some basic configurations. Wireless LANs can be as simple as
two computers with wireless LAN cards communicating in a peer-to-peer network or as complex as a
number of computers with wireless LAN cards communicating through access points which bridge network
traffic to the wired LAN.

The WLAN screens are only available when a WLAN card is installed.

5.1.1 Additional Installation Requirements for Using 802.1x

 A computer with an IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN card and equipped with a web browser (with

JavaScript enabled) and/or Telnet.

 A wireless station computer must be running IEEE 802.1x-compliant software. Currently, this is

offered in Windows XP.

 An optional network RADIUS server for remote user authentication and accounting.

5.1.2 Channel

A channel is the radio frequency(ies) used by IEEE 802.11b wireless devices. Channels available depend on
your geographical area. You may have a choice of channels (for your region) so you should use a different
channel than an adjacent AP (access point) to reduce interference. Interference occurs when radio signals
from different access points overlap causing interference and degrading performance.

Adjacent channels partially overlap however. To avoid interference due to overlap, your AP should be on a
channel at least five channels away from a channel that an adjacent AP is using. For example, if your region
has 11 channels and an adjacent AP is using channel 1, then you need to select a channel between 6 or 11.

5.1.3 ESS ID

An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a group of access points or wireless gateways connected to a wired LAN
on the same subnet. An ESS ID uniquely identifies each set. All access points or wireless gateways and their
associated wireless stations in the same set must have the same ESSID.

Wireless LAN Setup 5-1

Prestige 650 Series User’s Guide

5.1.4 RTS/CTS

A hidden node occurs when two stations are within range of the same access point, but are not within range
of each other. The following figure illustrates a hidden node. Both stations (STA) are within range of the
access point (AP) or wireless gateway, but out-of-range of each other, so they cannot “hear” each other, that
is they do not know if the channel is currently being used. Therefore, they are considered hidden from each
other.

Figure 5-1 RTS/CTS

When station A sends data to the Prestige, it might not know that the station B is already using the channel. If
these two stations send data at the same time, collisions may occur when both sets of data arrive at the AP at
the same time, resulting in a loss of messages for both stations.

RTS/CTS is designed to prevent collisions due to hidden nodes. An RTS/CTS defines the biggest size data
frame you can send before an RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake is invoked.

When a data frame exceeds the RTS/CTS value you set (between 0 to 2432 bytes), the station that wants to
transmit this frame must first send an RTS (Request To Send) message to the AP for permission to send it.
The AP then responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) message to all other stations within its range to notify
them to defer their transmission. It also reserves and confirms with the requesting station the time frame for
the requested transmission.

Stations can send frames smaller than the specified RTS/CTS directly to the AP without the RTS (Request
To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake.

You should only configure RTS/CTS if the possibility of hidden nodes exists on your network and the “cost”
of resending large frames is more than the extra network overhead involved in the RTS (Request To
Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake.

If the RTS/CTS value is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold value (see next), then the RTS (Request
To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before they
reach RTS/CTS size.

5-2 Wireless LAN Setup

Prestige 650 Series User’s Guide

Enabling the RTS Threshold causes redundant network overhead that could

negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.

5.1.5 Fragmentation Threshold

A Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fragment size (between 256 and 2432 bytes) that can be
sent in the wireless network before the Prestige will fragment the packet into smaller data frames.

A large Fragmentation Threshold is recommended for networks not prone to interference while you should
set a smaller threshold for busy networks or networks that are prone to interference.

If the Fragmentation Threshold value is smaller than the RTS/CTS value (see previously) you set then the
RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented
before they reach RTS/CTS size.

5.2 Levels of Security

Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless stations,
access points and the wired network.

The figure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your Prestige. The highest security level
relies on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) for authentication and utilizes dynamic WEP key
exchange. It requires interaction with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server either
on the WAN or your LAN to provide authentication service for wireless stations.

Figure 5-2 Prestige Wireless Security Levels

If you do not enable any wireless security on your Prestige, your network is accessible to any wireless
networking device that is within range.

Use the Prestige web configurator to configurator to set up your wireless LAN security settings. Refer to the
chapter on using the Prestige web configurator to see how to access the web configurator.

Wireless LAN Setup 5-3

Prestige 650 Series User’s Guide

5.3 Data Encryption with WEP

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access points to keep
network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a network. Both the
wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key for data encryption and decryption.

Your Prestige allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key can be enabled
at any one time.

5.4 Inserting a PCMCIA Wireless LAN Card

Use a ZyAIR series wireless LAN PCMCIA card to add wireless LAN capabilities.

Step 1. Turn off the Prestige.

Never insert or remove a wireless LAN card when the Prestige is turned on.

Step 2. Locate the slot labeled Wireless LAN on the Prestige.
Step 3. With its pin connector facing the slot and the LED side facing upwards, slide the ZyAIR wireless

LAN card into the slot.

Never force, bend or twist the wireless LAN card into the slot.

Step 4. Turn on the Prestige. The WLAN LED should turn on.

5.5 Configuring Wireless LAN

If you are configuring the Prestige from a computer connected to the wireless LAN

and you change the Prestige’s ESSID or WEP settings, you will lose your wireless

connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless

settings of your computer to match the Prestige’s new settings.

5.7 802.1x Overview

The IEEE 802.1x standard outlines enhanced security methods for both the authentication of wireless stations
and encryption key management. Authentication can be done using the local user database internal to the
Prestige (authenticate up to 32 users) or an external RADIUS server for an unlimited number of users.

5.8 Introduction to RADIUS

RADIUS is based on a client-sever model that supports authentication and accounting, where access point is
the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server handles the following tasks among
others:

• Authentication

Determines the identity of the users.

• Accounting

Keeps track of the client’s network activity.

RADIUS user is a simple package exchange in which your Prestige acts as a message relay between the
wireless station and the network RADIUS server.

Types of RADIUS Messages

The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the access point and the RADIUS server
for user authentication:

Wireless LAN Setup 5-9

Prestige 650 Series User’s Guide

• Access-Request

Sent by an access point requesting authentication.

• Access-Reject

Sent by a RADIUS server rejecting access.

• Access-Accept

Sent by a RADIUS server allowing access.

• Access-Challenge

Sent by a RADIUS server requesting more information in order to allow access. The access point
sends a proper response from the user and then sends another Access-Request message.

The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the access point and the RADIUS server
for user accounting:

• Accounting-Request

Sent by the access point requesting accounting.

• Accounting-Response

Sent by the RADIUS server to indicate that it has started or stopped accounting.

In order to ensure network security, the access point and the RADIUS server use a shared secret key, which
is a password, they both know. The key is not sent over the network. In addition to the shared key, password
information exchanged is also encrypted to protect the wired network from unauthorized access.

5.8.1 EAP Authentication Overview

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol that runs on top of the IEEE802.1x
transport mechanism in order to support multiple types of user authentication. By using EAP to interact with
an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, the access point helps a wireless station and a RADIUS server perform
authentication.

The type of authentication you use depends on the RADIUS server or the AP. The Prestige supports EAP­TLS, EAP-TTLS and DEAP with RADIUS. Refer to the Types of EAP Authentication appendix for
descriptions on the four common types.

Your Prestige supports EAP-MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) with the local user database and RADIUS.

The following figure shows an overview of authentication when you specify a RADIUS server on your
access point.

5-10 Wireless LAN Setup

Prestige 650 Series User’s Guide

Figure 5-5 EAP Authentication

The details below provide a general description of how IEEE 802.1x EAP authentication works. For an
example list of EAP-MD5 authentication steps, see the IEEE 802.1x appendix.

Step 1. The wireless station sends a “start” message to the Prestige.
Step 2. The Prestige sends a “request identity” message to the wireless station for identity information.
Step 3. The wireless station replies with identity information, including username and password.
Step 4. The RADIUS server checks the user information against its user profile database and determines

whether or not to authenticate the wireless station.

Required and No Access Allowed.

No Authentication Required allows all wireless stations access to the wired network

without entering user names and passwords. This is the default setting.

Authentication Required means that all wireless stations have to enter user names
and passwords before access to the wired network is allowed.

No Access Allowed blocks all wireless stations access to the wired network.

Specify how often wireless stations have to re-enter user names and passwords in
order to stay connected. This field is activated only when you select Authentication
Required in the Wireless Port Control field.

Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The default time interval is 1800
seconds (30 minutes).

If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS

server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has

priority.

Idle Timeout The Prestige automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired network after

a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the user name and password
again before access to the wired network is allowed.

This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless
Port Control field. The default time interval is 3600 seconds (1 hour).

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 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.

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.

6.3 PPTP Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data from a
remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks.

PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the
Internet.

WAN Setup 6-1

Prestige 650 Series User’s Guide

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.

Select Connect on Demand when you don't want the connection up all the time and
specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout field.

Specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout field when you select Connect on
Demand. The default setting is 0, which means the Internet session will not timeout.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

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 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

NAT 7-1

Prestige 650 Series User’s Guide

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. 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

7.1.4 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.

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).

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:
address to a unique global IP address.

NAT 7-3

In Many-to-Many No Overload mode, the Prestige maps each local IP

Prestige 650 Series User’s Guide

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 650 Series User’s Guide

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.

7.3.1 Port Forwarding: Services and Port Numbers

A NAT server set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can
make accessible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single
machine to the outside world.

Use the SUA Server page to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network. 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.

In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT 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 is not defined,
the service request is simply discarded.
