Preface

About Your Prestige

Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 782R G.SHDSL Router.

The Prestige is a high-performance router for Internet/LAN access via a telephone line. Your Prestige
supports multi-protocol routing for TCP/IP and Novell IPX, as well as transparent bridging for other
protocols.

The Prestige supports symmetrical multi-rate data transmission speeds from 144Kbps up to 2320Kbps. The
actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wires, distance from the central office and the
type of xDSL service you subscribe to. Its 10/100M auto-negotiating LAN interface enables fast data
transfer of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your
Ethernet network. See the following section for more background information on xDSL.

The Prestige uses TC-PAM line code with echo cancellation for high data rate transmissions over a single­twisted telephone wire pair without being affected by bridge taps or mixed cable links. It also provides high
immunity from background noise.

Your Prestige is easy to install. You do not need to set any switches to configure it. Manage the Prestige via
the SMT (System Management Terminal), a menu-driven interface, that you can access from either a
terminal emulator or telnet. Or, use the CI commands that allow users to diagnose and test the Prestige
using a specified set of commands.

Please visit our web site at www.zyxel.com for the latest release notes and product information.

Prestige 782R G.SHDSL Router

What is xDSL?

A DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) enhances the data capacity of the existing telephone line running 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 4,000Hz to filter
noise from the voice line. Several DSL services offer speeds of up to 52 Mbits/sec. DSL services are either
symmetrical (traffic flows at the same speed in both directions) or asymmetrical (the downstream capacity
is higher than the upstream capacity).

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 for DSL
maximum transmission distances. A G.SHDSL connection is a point-to-point dedicated circuit, meaning
that the link is always up and there is no dialing required.

G.SHDSL

G.SHDSL (Single-pair High-speed Digital Subscriber Line) is a symmetrical, bi-directional DSL service
that operates on one twisted-pair wire and provides data rates up to 2.3 Mbits/sec. (The “G.” in “G.SHDSL”
is defined by the G.991.2 ITU (International Telecommunication Union) state-of-the-art industry standard).

The Benefits of G.SHDSL:

• Continuous Connection

• Dedicated Bandwidth

• Investment Protection

• Low Maintenance

• Distance Capabilities

What is xDSL? xxi

You are always online.

Line speed is “symmetric,” i.e., the same bandwidth in both directions.

Scalability. Offers a flexible upgrade path. You can choose a higher
access speed yourself - no site visit is necessary.

Connectivity requires no complex manual configuration; G.SHDSL
equipment is Plug and Play.

G.SHDSL achieves 20% better loop-reach than older versions of
symmetric DSL. (Loop reach defines speed that can be attained at
various distances).

Prestige 782R G.SHDSL Router

Chapter 1

Getting to Know Your G.SHDSL Router

This chapter covers the key features and main applications of your Prestige.

The Prestige 782R Router can be used for high-speed LAN-to-LAN connections or Internet access through
a G.SHDSL connection over the telephone line. You can use your Prestige for either IP routing or bridging
depending on your ISP (Internet Service Provider) configuration.

1.1 Features of the Prestige

The following features make the Prestige a complete and the flexible networking solution for most users.

High Speed Scalability

One of the best features of G.SHDSL service is its scalability. Your Prestige G.SHDSL router supports
symmetrical multi-rate data transmission speeds from 144 Kbps up to 2320 Kbps. You can increase the
capacity of the Internet connection (within certain distance limitations) without changing your ISP or
purchasing new equipment. G.SHDSL’s high symmetrical speeds are ideal for applications like web hosting
and videoconferencing as well as the two-way data traffic needs of businesses.

Symmetrical High Speed Internet Access

The Prestige 782R supports symmetrical transmission up to 2.3 Mbps. For NSP’s (Network Service
Provider) convenience, the Prestige also supports rate management depending on distances and service
charges.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol – version 1)

SNMP, a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite, allows you to exchange management information between
network devices. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent functionality that allows a manager station to manage
and monitor the Prestige through the network.

SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured on your Prestige.

IP Multicast

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

Prestige 782R G.SHDSL Router

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

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.

10/100MB Auto-negotiation Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface

This auto-negotiation feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust
appropriately, providing a faster data transfer on the Ethernet network as required. It enables fast data
transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your
Ethernet network.

Protocols Supported

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

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

• SUA™ (Single User Account) and NAT (Network Address Translation).

Multiple Protocol Support

• Novell IPX (Internetwork Packet eXchange) network layer protocol.

• Transparent bridging for unsupported network layer protocols.

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 available on more platforms.

DHCP Support

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) 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 other systems that support the DHCP client. 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.

Data Compression

Your Prestige incorporates Stac LZS data compression ratios of up to 4:1 to speed up data transfer. Stac is
the de facto standard of data compression over PPP links.

1-2 Getting to Know Your Router

Prestige 782R G.SHDSL Router

Encapsulation

The Prestige supports PPP over ATM (RFC-2364), Multiple Protocol over ATM (RFC-1483) and ENET
ENCAP.

SUA for Single-IP Address Internet Access

The Prestige’s SUA (Single User Account, equivalent to NAT) feature allows multiple user Internet access
for the cost of a single ISP account and allows multiple users on the LAN (Local Area Network) to access
the Internet concurrently. SUA supports popular Internet applications such as MS traceroute, CuSeeMe,
IRC, ICQ, RealAudio, VDOLive, Quake and PPTP. No extra configuration is needed to support these
applications. SUA address mapping can also be used for other LAN-to-LAN connections.

Full Network Management

• Menu driven SMT (System Management Terminal) management

• SNMP manageable

• Local SMT session via console port

• Remote SMT session via Telnet

Upgrade Firmware via LAN

In addition to the direct console port connection, the Prestige supports the up/downloading of firmware and
configuration file over the LAN.

Filters

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

Ease of Installation

Your Prestige is designed for quick, easy and intuitive installation. Its compact size and light weight make it
easy to position anywhere in your busy office.

Auxiliary Port

The Prestige has another WAN port as backup in case the xDSL line degrades or is down. For small
business and home users, data applications can be more robust and flexible by connecting to an external
modem or ISDN TA.

Wall-Mounting

On the underside of the housing are two slots that can be used to wall-mount your Prestige.
