of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service
may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly. The customer should be aware that the
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated

Preface

Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 791R 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, as well as transparent bridging for other protocols.

The Prestige supports symmetrical multi-rate data transmission speeds 72 Kbps up to 2312 Kbps. The
actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wires, distance from the central office and the
type of DSL 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 DSL.

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 and configure. All functions are configurable via the SMT (System
Management Terminal) and web configurator. Advanced users may configure the Prestige using CLI
(Command Line Interface) commands.

xx Preface

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

What is 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 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).

Chapter 1

Getting to Know Your G.SHDSL Router

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

The Prestige 791R 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.

Scalability

One of the best features of G.SHDSL service is its scalability. 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 792H can support symmetrical transmission speeds of up to 2.3 Mbps. For NSP’s (Network
Service Provider) convenience, the Prestige also supports rate management depending on distance and
service charges.

The table below lists the transmission speeds available on the Prestige.

SUPPORTED TRANSMISSION SPEEDS

Min (Kbps) Max (Kbps)

SDSL

G.HDSL (G.991.2)

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol – versions 1 and 2)

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.

Getting to Know Your G.SHDSL Router 1-1

72 136

200 2312

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

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

IP Multicast

Deliver IP packets to a specific group of hosts using IP multicast. IGMP (Internet Group Management
Protocol) is the protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC 2236);
the Prestige supports both versions 1 and 2.

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 provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter packet
forwarding based on the policies 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).

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.

1-2 Getting to Know Your G.SHDSL Router

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

Encapsulation

The Prestige supports PPPoE, 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.

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.

Full Network Management

• Menu driven SMT (System Management Terminal) management

• SNMP manageable

• Web Configurator

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.

Packet Filtering

Packet filtering blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.

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.

Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support

Your Prestige supports up to 12 PVC’s.

All-in-one Console and Auxiliary Port

Set the CON/AUX switch to the “CON” side when using the CON/AUX port as a regular console port for
local device configuration and management. Set this switch to the “AUX” side when using the CON/AUX
port as an auxiliary dial-up WAN connection.

If you forget your password, use the reset button to restore the default password

of 1234. This will allow you to enter the SMT. Then use the above instructions to

set a new password.

3.5 General Setup

Menu 1 — General Setup contains administrative and system-related information (shown next). The

System Name field is for identification purposes. However, because some ISPs check this name you should

enter your computer's "Computer Name".

• In Windows 95/98 click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network. Click the Identification tab,

note the entry for the Computer name field and enter it as the Prestige System Name.

• In Windows 2000 click Start, Settings, Control Panel and then double-click System. Click the

Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the entry for the Computer

name field and enter it as the Prestige System Name.

• In Windows XP, click start, My Computer, View system information and then click the

Computer Name tab. Note the entry in the Full computer name field and enter it as the Prestige

System Name.

The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank,

the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (System

Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the Prestige via DHCP.

3.5.1 Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) 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 or other services).

You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a DNS-like address (for

example, myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) which 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.

3-8 Initial Setup

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

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 DNS name.

To use this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS service provider. The Dynamic DNS service

provider will give you a password or key. The Prestige supports www.dyndns.org. You can apply to this

service provider for Dynamic DNS service.

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.

WAN

This chapter shows you how to configure the WAN settings of your Prestige.

4.1 LAN and WAN Overview

This section provides information on LANs, WANs, TCP/IP parameters and configuring your prestige for

Internet access.

4.1.1 LANs and WANs

A LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same

building or floor of a building. A WAN (Wide Area Network), on the other hand, is an outside connection

to another network or the Internet.

4.1.2 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 is shown

next.

WAN 4-1

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

Figure 4-1 LAN & WAN IPs

4.2 WAN Setup

Use Menu 2 – WAN Setup to configure G.SHDSL settings for your WAN line. Different telephone

companies deploy different types of G.SHDSL service. If you are unsure of any of this information, please

check with your telephone company.

4.2.1 Service Type

Is your Prestige acting as a Server or Client?

1. The Prestige is a server if it is acting as a COE (Central Office Equipment). It will determine transfer

rate and mode.

2. The Prestige is a client if it is acting as a CPE (Customer Premise Equipment).

4.2.2 Rate Adaption

Both the Prestige and the peer must have the same transmission rate. Rate Adaption allows the Prestige to

auto-detect the peer transfer rate.

4-2 WAN

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

4.2.3 Transfer Rates

The Prestige supports the following symmetrical multi-rate data transmission speeds:

72, 136, 200, 264, 392, 520, 776, 1032, 1160, 1544, 1736, 2056 and 2312Kbps.

You can increase the capacity of the Internet connection (within certain limitations) without changing your

ISP or buying new equipment.

For back-to-back applications make sure that your Prestige and its peer have the same Transfer Max Rate

and the same Transfer Min Rate. Two (maximum and minimum) transfer rates are used to accommodate

fluctuations in line speed. This is known as Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation.

4.2.4 Standard Mode

If your Prestige is a server, then select the mode that applies to your region: ANSI (American National

Standards Institute) and ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). If your Prestige is a

client, select the same Standard Mode that the server side selects. ANSI and ETSI create recommendations

and standards for the telecommunications industry.

5.2.3 Remote Node Script Overview

For some remote gateways, text login is required before PPP negotiation is started. The Prestige provides a

script facility for this purpose. The script has six programmable sets; each set is composed of an ‘Expect’

string and a ‘Send’ string. After matching a message from the server to the ‘Expect’ field, the Prestige

returns the set’s ‘Send’ string to the server.

For instance, a typical login sequence starts with the server printing a banner, a login prompt for you to

enter the user name and a password prompt to enter the password:

Welcome to Acme, Inc.

Login: myLogin

Password:

To handle the first prompt, you specify “ogin: ” as the ‘Expect’ string and “myLogin” as the ‘Send’

string in set 1. The reason for leaving out the leading “L” is to avoid having to know exactly whether it is

Dial Backup 5-9

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

upper or lower case. Similarly, you specify “word: ” as the ‘Expect’ string and your password as the

‘Send’ string for the second prompt in set 2.

You can use two variables, $USERNAME and $PASSWORD (all UPPER case), to represent the actual user

name and password in the script, so they will not show in the clear. They are replaced with the outgoing

login name and password in the remote node when the Prestige sees them in a ‘Send’ string. Please note

that both variables must been entered exactly as shown. No other characters may appear before or after,

either, i.e., they must be used alone in response to login and password prompts.

Please note that the ordering of the sets is significant, i.e., starting from set 1, the Prestige will wait until the

‘Expect’ string is matched before it proceeds to set 2, and so on for the rest of the script. When both the

‘Expect’ and the ‘Send’ fields of the current set are empty, the Prestige will terminate the script processing

and start PPP negotiation. This implies two things: first, the sets must be contiguous; the sets after an empty

one are ignored. Second, the last set should match the final message sent by the server. For instance, if the

server prints:

login successful.

Starting PPP...

after you enter the password, then you should create a third set to match the final “PPP...” but without a

“Send” string. Otherwise, the Prestige will start PPP prematurely right after sending your password to the

server.

If there are errors in the script and it gets stuck at a set for longer than the “Dial Timeout” in menu 2

(default 60 seconds), the Prestige will timeout and drop the line. To debug a script, go to Menu 24.4 to

initiate a manual call and watch the trace display to see if the sequence of messages and prompts from the

server differs from what you expect.

Chapter 6

LAN

This chapter shows you how to configure the LAN settings for your Prestige.

6.1 LAN Overview

This section describes how to configure the Prestige for LAN connections.

6.1.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask

Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, the machines on a LAN also 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 (ignoring the trailing

zero). The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) has reserved this block of addresses specifically

for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise. Let’s say you select

192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to

192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first 3 numbers specify the network number

while the last number identifies an individual computer on that network.

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.

LAN 6-1

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

6.1.2 Private IP Addresses

Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from the Internet,

e.g., 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 have it assigned by 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.

6.1.3 Factory Ethernet Defaults

The Ethernet 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).

6.1.4 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.

6-2 LAN

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

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.

6.1.5 DHCP Configuration

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 Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client. The Prestige can

also act as a surrogate DHCP server where it relays IP address assignment from the actual DHCP server to

the clients.

IP Pool Setup

The Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64 for

the client machines. This leaves 31 IP addresses, 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.32 (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.

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.

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

LAN 6-3

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

your ISP does give 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.

6.1.6 IP 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 is a third way to deliver IP packets to a group

of hosts on the network - not everybody.

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.

6-4 LAN

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

The Prestige supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and 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 using menus 3.2 (LAN) and 11.3 (WAN). Select None to disable IP Multicasting on these

interfaces.

6.1.7 IP Policies

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. Policy-based

routing is applied to incoming packets on a per interface basis, prior to the normal routing. Create policies

using SMT menu 25 (see IP Policy Routing) and apply them on the Prestige LAN and/or WAN interfaces

using menus 3.2 (LAN) and 11.3 (WAN).

6.1.8 IP Alias

IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into different 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. See Section 6.2.2 to configure IP Alias on your

Prestige.

Chapter 7

Internet Access

This chapter shows you how to configure your Prestige for Internet Access.

7.1 Internet Access Overview

This section provides information on configuring your Prestige for Internet access. It includes information

on encapsulation types, IP address assignment and ATM networks.

7.2 Encapsulation

Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The Prestige supports the following

methods.

7.2.1 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 menu 4 and in the Rem IP Addr field in menu 11.1. You can get this

information from your ISP.

7.2.2 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 a DSL 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 Appendices.

Internet Access 7-1

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

7.2.3 PPPoA

Please refer to RFC 2364 for more information on PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). Refer to

RFC 1661 for more information on PPP.

7.2.4 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.

7.3 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.

7.3.1 Using 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.

7.3.2 Using 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.

7.3.3 Using 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

7-2 Internet Access

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

as a DHCP client on the WAN port and so the IP Address and ENET ENCAP Gateway fields are not

applicable (N/A) as they are assigned to the Prestige by the DHCP server.

7.4 VPI and VCI

Be sure to use the correct Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) numbers

supplied by your telephone company. 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 Appendices for more

information.

7.5 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.

7.5.1 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.

7.5.2 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.

7.6 Traffic Shaping

Traffic Shaping is an agreement between the carrier and the subscriber to regulate the average rate and

“burstiness” or fluctuation 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.

Internet Access 7-3

Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router

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

832 Kbps 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 a bursty, on-off traffic source that can be sent at the peak

rate, and a parameter for burst-type traffic. SCR may not be greater than the PCR; the system default is 0

cells/sec.

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.

Figure 7-1 Example of Traffic Shaping

7.7 Internet Access Configuration

Menu 4 allows you to enter the Internet Access information in one screen. Menu 4 is actually a simplified

setup for one of the remote nodes that you can access in Menu 11. Before you configure your Prestige for

Internet access, you need to collect your Internet account information from your ISP and telephone

company.

Use the following table to record your Internet Account Information. Note that if you are using PPPoA or

PPPoE encapsulation, then the only ISP information you need is a login name and password. You only need

to know the Ethernet Encapsulation Gateway IP address if you are using ENET ENCAP encapsulation.

Remote Node Configuration

This chapter covers remote node configuration.

8.1 Remote Node Overview

This section describes the protocol-independent parameters for a remote node. A remote node is required

for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both the remote gateway and the network

behind it across a WAN connection. When you use Menu 4 to set up Internet access, you are configuring

one of the remote nodes.

You first choose a remote node in Menu 11- Remote Node Setup. You can then edit that node’s profile in

menu 11.1, as well as configure specific settings in three submenus: edit IP and bridge options in menu

11.3; edit ATM options in menu 11.6; and edit filter sets in menu 11.5.

8.2 Remote Node Setup

To configure a remote node, follow these steps:

Step 1. From the Main Menu, select menu option 11 Remote Node Setup.

Step 2. When Menu 11 appears as shown in the following figure, type the number of the remote node

that you want to configure.

8.2.1 Encapsulation and Multiplexing Scenarios

For Internet access you should use the encapsulation and multiplexing methods used by your ISP. For

LAN-to-LAN applications, for example, between a branch office and corporate headquarters, prior

agreement on methods is necessary because encapsulation and multiplexing cannot be automatically

determined. What method(s) you use depends on how many VCs you have and how many different network

protocols you need. The extra overhead that ENET ENCAP encapsulation entails makes it a poor choice in

a LAN-to-LAN application. Here are some examples of more suitable combinations in such an application.

Scenario 1. One VC, Multiple Protocols

PPPoA (RFC-2364) encapsulation with VC-based multiplexing is the best combination because no extra

protocol identifying headers are needed. The PPP protocol already contains this information.

Scenario 2. One VC, One Protocol (IP)

Selecting RFC-1483 encapsulation with VC-based multiplexing requires the least amount of overhead (0

octets). However, if there is a potential need for multiple protocol support in the future, it may be safer to

select PPPoA encapsulation instead of RFC-1483, so you do not need to reconfigure either computer later.

Scenario 3. Multiple VCs

If you have an equal number (or more) of VCs than the number of protocols, then select RFC-1483

encapsulation and VC-based multiplexing.

Do not edit filter sets 11 and 12. They are used exclusively by the web

configurator. Any rules you configured in sets 11 and 12 will be erased and

replaced when you apply the web configurator-generated filter rules.

8.5 Editing ATM Layer Options

Follow these steps to edit Menu 11.6 – Remote Node ATM Layer Options.

Step 1. In Menu 11.1, move the cursor to the Edit ATM Options then press [SPACE BAR] to toggle

and set the value to Yes.

Step 2. Press [ENTER] to open Menu 11.6 – Remote Node ATM Layer Options.

There are two versions of Menu 11.6 for the Prestige, depending on whether you chose VC-based or LLC-

based multiplexing and PPP (either PPPoA or PPPoE) encapsulation in menu 11.1.

8.5.1 VC-based Multiplexing (non-PPP Encapsulation)

For VC-based multiplexing, by prior agreement, a protocol is assigned a specific virtual circuit, e.g., VC1

will carry IP, VC2 will carry IPX, etc. Separate VPI and VCI numbers must be specified for each protocol.

Menu 11.6 - Remote Node ATM Layer Options

VC Options for IP: VC Options for Bridge:
VPI #= 0 VPI #= N/A
VCI #= 38 VCI #= N/A
ATM QoS Type= UBR ATM QoS Type= N/A
Peak Cell Rate (PCR)= 0 Peak Cell Rate (PCR)= N/A
Sustain Cell Rate (SCR)= 0 Sustain Cell Rate (SCR)= N/A
Maximum Burst Size (MBS)= 0 Maximum Burst Size (MBS)= N/A

Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:

VPI/VCI (VC-Multiplexing)

Press Space Bar to Toggle.

Separate VPI and

VCI numbers must

be specified.

8.5.2 LLC-based Multiplexing or PPP Encapsulation

For LLC-based multiplexing or PPP encapsulation, one VC carries multiple protocols with protocol

identifying information being contained in each packet header.

VPI #= 0
VCI #= 38
ATM QoS Type= UBR
Peak Cell Rate (PCR)= 0
Sustain Cell Rate (SCR)= 0
Maximum Burst Size (MBS)= 0

VPI/VCI (LLC-Multiplexing or PPP-Encapsulation)

ENTER here to CONFIRM or ESC to CANCEL:

Only one set of VPI

and VCI numbers

needs to be

specified.

Figure 8-12 Menu 11.6 for LLC-based Multiplexing or PPP Encapsulation

In this case, only one set of VPI and VCI numbers need be specified for all protocols. The valid range for

the VPI is 0 to 255 and for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (1 to 31 is reserved for local management of ATM

traffic).

Chapter 9

Static Route Setup

This chapter shows how to setup IP static routes.

9.1 Static Route Overview

Static routes tell the Prestige routing information that it cannot learn automatically through other means.

This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is beyond the one that is

directly connected to a remote node.

Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected and the Prestige

has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the

following figure through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to

network N3 because it does not know that there is a route through remote node Router 1 (via Router 2). The

static routes allow you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

Table 9-1 Edit IP Static Route

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Route # This is the index number of the static route that you chose in menu 12.1.

Route Name Type a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only.

Active This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.

Destination IP Address This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.

Routing is always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to
a single host, use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field
to force the network number to be identical to the host ID.

IP Subnet Mask Type the subnet mask for this destination. Follow the discussion on IP Subnet

Mask in this manual.

Gateway IP Address Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of

your Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the
gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over WAN,
the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.

Metric Metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing

uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly
connected networks. Type a number that approximates the cost for this link.
The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice,
2 or 3 is usually a good number.

Private This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote

node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and is not
included in RIP broadcasts. If No, the route to this remote node will be
propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to confirm or ESC to
cancel” to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.
