Information for Canadian Users
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets
certain telecommunications network protective, operation, and safety requirements. The Industry Canada
does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to a user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of
the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method 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 by
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may
give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
For their own protection, users should ensure that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution
may be particularly important in rural areas.
Caution
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

1.3 Detailed Features of the Prestige 310
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
1-2 Getting to Know Your Prestige
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (workstations) to obtain the
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP server
capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS
servers to Windows 9X, Windows NT and 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.
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.
If you want to utilize this service, you must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS client.
PPPoE Support
PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed data
networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.
PPTP Support
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.
IP Alias
The ability to partition physical network into logical network over the same Ethernet interface is referred to
as IP Alias functionality.
Call Scheduling
The Call Scheduling feature allows you to manage a remote node. You can dictate when a remote node
should be called and for how long.
Call Control
The Prestige provides budget management for outgoing calls and chronicles incoming and outgoing calls.
Full Network Management
Your Prestige offers you a variety of options for network management. It supports password protected local
and remote network management via the console port or a telnet connection using SMT (System
Management Interface). It also supports FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server for remote management, TFTP
(Trivial FTP), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and CI (Command Interpreter) mode.
Time and Date Setting
This new feature (Menu 24.10) allows you to get the current time and date from an external server when you
power up your Prestige. The real time is then displayed in the Prestige Menu 24.1- System Status and error
logs. If you do not choose a time service protocol that your timeserver will send when the Prestige powers up
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
Getting to Know Your Prestige 1-3
you can enter the time manually but each time the system is booted, the time & date will be reset to 1/1/1970
0:0:0.
1.4 Applications for Prestige 310
1.4.1 Broadband Internet Access via Cable or xDSL Modem
The Prestige is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution for small offices and home offices. Your Prestige
supports the TCP/IP protocol, which is used by the Internet exclusively. A cable modem or xDSL modem
can connect to the Prestige 310 for broadband Internet access via Ethernet port on the modem. A typical
Internet access application is shown next.

Turn off the Prestige and begin a terminal emulation software session with the default console port settings.
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. You should already have downloaded the correct file from
your nearest ZyXEL FTP site. See section 10-3 for more information on how to transfer the configuration file
to your Prestige.
2.7 General Setup
Menu 1 - General Setup contains administrative and system-related information. The fields for General
Setup are as shown next. System Name is for identification purposes. However, because some ISPs check
this name you should enter your PC’s “Computer Name” (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network.
Click the Identification tab, note the entry for the Computer name” field). It is the domain name that will be
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 machine, the
domain name can be assigned from the Prestige via DHCP.
2.7.1 Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or many dynamic DNS
services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.) or access your FTP server or Web
site on your own computer using a DNS-like address (e.g. myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your
choice) which will never change instead of using your IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your
friends or relatives will always be able to call you even if they don’t know your IP address.
First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is for people
with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a DNS name.
To use this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS client. The Dynamic DNS Client service
provider will give you a password or key. The Prestige at the time of writing supports www.ddns.org and
www.dyndns.org clients. You can apply to either of these clients 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.
To enter Menu 1 and fill in the required information, follow these steps:
Step 1. Enter 1 in the Main Menu to open Menu 1 – General Setup.
Step 2. The Menu 1 - General Setup screen appears, as shown below. Fill in the required fields.

Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
Internet Access 3-1
Chapter 3:
Internet Access
This chapter shows you how to configure the LAN as well as the WAN of your Prestige for Internet
access.
3.1 TCP/IP and DHCP for LAN
The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that
support DHCP client capability.
3.1.1 Factory LAN Defaults
The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
1. IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
2. DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If the parameters are satisfactory, you can
skip to section 3.2 to enter the DNS server address(es) if your ISP gives you explicit DNS server address(es).
If you wish to change the factory defaults or to learn more about TCP/IP, please read on.
3.1.2 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the houses on a street that share a common street name, the machines on a LAN share one
common network number, also.
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network
administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP
addresses and the subnet mask.
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account
and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is
recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 (ignoring the trailing
zero) and you must enable the Network Address Translation feature of the Prestige. The Internet Assigned
Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any
other number unless you are told otherwise. Let’s say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which
covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other
words, the first 3 numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual
workstation on that network.
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, e.g.,
192.168.1.1, for your Prestige.
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
Internet Access
3-2
192.168.1.1 is the default Ethernet IP for the Prestige. If you select this IP address,
the Prestige will automatically enable various default settings such as, enable DHCP
Server, set this IP as the default gateway etc.
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.
3.1.3 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
For this reason, it is recommended that you choose your network number from the above list.
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP, or assigned from a private network. If you
belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the
Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization,
you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.
Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address; always
follow the guidelines above. For more information on address assignment, please refer
to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466, Guidelines for
Management of IP Address Space.
3.1.4 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 Both or Out Only, the
Prestige will broadcast its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the
RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP
packets received.
The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the Prestige
sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported; but RIP-2 carries more
information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have 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. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router
machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIP
packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting,
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
Internet Access 3-3
also. By default, RIP direction is set to Both for the LAN and None for the WAN and the Version set to
RIP-1.
3.1.5 DHCP Configuration
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows the individual clients
(workstations) to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Prestige as
a DHCP Server, Relay or None. When configured as a Server, the Prestige provides the TCP/IP
configuration for the clients. If set to None, DHCP service will be disabled and you must have another
DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the workstation must be manually configured. The Prestige can now also
act as a surrogate DHCP server (Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real 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.
This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the Prestige itself) in the lower range for other server
machines, e.g., server for mail, FTP, telnet, web, etc., that you may have.
DNS Server Address
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa,
e.g., the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because
without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it.
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 you sign up. If your
ISP does give you the DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup. The
second is to leave this field blank, i.e., 0.0.0.0 – in this case the Prestige acts as a DNS proxy.
Example of network properties for LAN servers with fixed IP#:
Choose an IP: 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.32; 192.168.1.65 - 192.168.1.254.
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway (or default route): 192.168.1.1 (Prestige LAN IP)
DNS server: 192.168.1.1
Domain: (optional)
3.1.6 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.
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
Internet Access
3-4
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-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 using menus 3.2 (LAN) and 11.3 (WAN). Select None to disable IP Multicasting on these
interfaces.
3.1.7 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.

Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires no
configuration of the modem at the customer site.
PPPoE uses industry-standard, low-cost Ethernet NICs to connect your PCs to the broadband modem. In
addition, PPPoE allows multiple PCs to share a single broadband connection, making it the best solution for
small offices and homes that have more than one PC needing high-speed network access. For the service
provider, one of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access multiple network services, a
function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new
IP services.
If you choose PPPoE in Menu 4, you will see the next screen. For extra information on PPPoE, please see

Part II:
Advanced Applications
Advanced Applications (Chapters 4-6) describe the advanced applications of your Prestige, such
as Remote Node Setup, IP Static routes Setup and configuring SUA servers.
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
SUA and Multiple SUA Servers 4-1
Chapter 4:
SUA and Multiple SUA Servers
This chapter helps you in configuring SUA and setting up multiple inside servers in SUA case.
4.1 Single User Account (SUA)
If you wish to know more about SUA please read on. Or you can skip to the section Single User Account
Configuration for configuring SUA and the section Multiple Servers behind SUA for information about
setting up multiple servers when SUA is enabled.
4.1.1 Basics
Typically, if there are multiple users on the LAN wanting to concurrently access the Internet, you will have
to lease a block of legal, or globally unique, IP addresses from the ISP.
Your Prestige accomplishes address sharing by translating the internal LAN IP addresses to a single address
that is globally unique on the Internet. The SUA feature allows you to have the same benefits as having
multiple legal addresses, but allows you to have one legal IP address and many local LAN IP addresses that
can be used in other domains also, thus conserving the number of global IP addresses.
The Single User Account feature may also be used on connections to remote networks other than the ISP.
For example, this feature can be used to simplify the allocation of IP addresses when connecting branch
offices to the corporate network.
The IP address for the SUA can be either fixed or dynamically assigned. In addition, you can designate
servers, e.g., a web server, on your local network in the client side and make them accessible to outside
world.
Figure 4-1 An Example of Single User Account Topology
SUA offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. All incoming inquiries will be filtered out by your
Prestige and thus preventing intruders from probing your network.
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
4-2 SUA and Multiple SUA Servers
For more information on IP address translation as a solution for IP address depletion problem, refer to RFC
1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT).
In summary:
• SUA helps in more efficient IP address management.
• SUA can provide firewall protection. All incoming inquiries will be filtered out by your Prestige.
• UDP and TCP datagrams can be routed. In addition, partial ICMP, including echo (ping) and trace
route, is supported.
• SUA is also a cost-effective solution for offices to access the Internet or other remote TCP/IP networks
as they have to pay for single globally unique IP address only.
4.1.2 Single User Account Configuration
The steps for configuring your Prestige for Single User Account are identical to conventional Internet access
(See configuration instructions in the previous chapter) with the exception that you need to fill in two extra
fields in Menu 4 - Internet Access Setup, as shown in the following figure. SUA here is applied solely to
the output interface and is valid only for LAN to WAN connections and not for connections between LANs.
Figure 4-2 Menu 4 - Internet Access Setup for Single User Account
To enable the SUA feature in Menu 4, move the cursor to the Single User Account field and select Yes (or
No to disable SUA).
Follow the instructions on how to configure the SUA fields in the following table.

SUA
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
SUA and Multiple SUA Servers 4-3
When SUA is disabled, the Prestige will send the packets from workstations to the remote host with
workstation's IP and port to the destination's IP and port. If the workstation uses private IP (Private Networks
IPs: 10.0.0.0 ~ 10.255.255.255; 172.16.0.0. ~ 172.31.255.255; 192.168.0.0. ~ 192.168.255.255) in SUA
mode, the packet will be routed by the Prestige but will be dropped somewhere and never returned. This is
because only a legal IP is valid on the Internet. Hence, in non-SUA mode, the workstation must use non-
private/legal IP.
4.2 Multiple Servers behind SUA
If you wish, you can make inside servers for different services, e.g., web or FTP, visible to the outside users,
even though SUA makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world. A
service is identified by the port number, e.g., web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21.
As an example, if you have a web server at 192.168.1.2 and an FTP server 192.168.1.3, then you need to
specify for port 80 (web) the server at IP address 192.168.1.2 and for port 21 (FTP) another at IP address
192.168.1.3.
Please note that a server can support more than one service, e.g., a server can provide both FTP and DNS
service, while another provides only web service. Also, since you need to specify the IP address of a server
in the Prestige, a server must have a fixed IP address and not be a DHCP client whose IP address potentially
changes each time it is powered on.
In addition to the servers for specific services, SUA supports a default server. A service request that does not
have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the default server is not
defined, the service request is simply discarded.
To make a server visible to the outside world, specify the port number of the service and the inside IP address
of the server in Menu 15, Multiple Server Configuration.
For more information on configuring supporting applications behind SUA refer to the
ZyNOS Support Note documentation in your Support CD.
4.2.1 Configuring a Server behind SUA
Follow the steps below to configure a server behind SUA:
Step 1 Enter 15 in the main menu to go to Menu 15 - Multiple Server Configuration.
Step 2 Enter the service port number in the Port # field and the inside IP address of the server in the IP
Address field.
Step 3 Press [Enter] at the “Press ENTER to confirm …” prompt to save your configuration after you
define all the servers or press ESC at any time to cancel.

Chapter 5
Remote Node Setup
This chapter shows you how to configure 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. Note that when you use Menu 4 to set up
Internet access, you are actually configuring a remote node. We will show you how to configure Menu 11.1
Remote Node Profile, Menu 11.3 - Remote Node Network Layer Options and Menu 11.5 - Remote Node
Filter.
5.1 Remote Node Profile
From the Main Menu, select menu option 11 to open Menu 11.1 - Remote Node Profile. There are three
variations of this menu depending on whether you choose Ethernet Encapsulation, PPTP or PPPoE
Encapsulation.
5.1.1 Ethernet Encapsulation
You must choose the Ethernet option when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet. The first Menu 11.1
screen you see is for Ethernet Encapsulation shown next.

Nailed-Up
Connection This field specifies if you want to make the connection
to this remote node a nailed-up connection. For more
details please refer to the section on Nailed-Up
Connection.
Nailed-Up Connection
A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic demand. The
Prestige does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The first is that idle timeout is disabled.
The second is that the Prestige will try to bring up the connection at power-on and whenever the connection
is down. A nailed-up connection can be very expensive for obvious reasons.
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.
5.1.3 PPPoE Encapsulation
The Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). You can use PPPoE encapsulation only
when you’re using the Prestige with an xDSL modem as the WAN device. If you change the Encapsulation
to PPPoE, then you will see the next screen. Please see section 3.3.2 for more information on PPPoE.

IP Static Route Setup 6-1
Chapter 6:
IP Static Route Setup
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes with your Prestige.
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.
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
diagram through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to network N3
because it doesn’t know that there is a route through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2).
The static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

Route # This is the index number of the static route that you chose in Menu 12.
Route Name Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purposes 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 Enter the IP subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP
Address Enter 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 the 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. Enter 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

Filters 7-1
Chapter 7:
Filter Configuration
This chapter shows you how to create and apply filter(s).
7.1 About Filtering
Your Prestige uses filters to decide whether to allow passage of a data packet and/or to make a call. There are
two types of filter applications: data filtering and call filtering. Filters are subdivided into device and protocol
filters, which are discussed later.
Data filtering screens the data to determine if the packet should be allowed to pass. Data filters are divided
into incoming and outgoing filters, depending on the direction of the packet relative to a port. Data filtering
can be applied on either the WAN side or the Ethernet side. Call filtering is used to determine if a packet
should be allowed to trigger a call. Remote node call filtering is only applicable when using PPTP or PPPoE
encapsulation (see Figure 5-8). Outgoing packets must undergo data filtering before they encounter call
filtering as shown in the following figure.
Figure 7-1 Outgoing Packet Filtering Process
For incoming packets, your Prestige applies data filters only. Packets are processed depending upon whether
a match is found. The following sections describe how to configure filter sets

7-2 Filters
7.1.1 The Filter Structure of the Prestige
A filter set consists of one or more filter rules. Usually, you would group related rules, e.g., all the rules for
NetBIOS, into a single set and give it a descriptive name. The Prestige allows you to configure up to twelve
filter sets with six rules in each set, for a total of 72 filter rules in the system. You cannot mix device filter
rules and protocol filter rules within the same set. You can apply up to four filter sets to a particular port to
block multiple types of packets. With each filter set having up to six rules, you can have a maximum of 24
rules active for a single port.
Three sets of factory default filter rules have been configured in Menu 21 to prevent NetBIOS traffic from
triggering calls and to prevent incoming telnetting and FTP connections from the WAN side. A summary of
their filter rules is shown in the figures that follow.
The following diagram illustrates the logic flow when executing a filter rule.

To configure a filter rule, type its number in Menu 21.1 - Filter Rules Summary and press [Enter] to open
Menu 21.1.1 for the rule.
To speed up filtering, all rules in a filter set must be of the same class, i.e., protocol filters or generic filters.
The class of a filter set is determined by the first rule that you create. When applying the filter sets to a port,
separate menu fields are provided for protocol and device filter sets. If you include a protocol filter set in a
device filter field or vice versa, the Prestige will warn you and will not allow you to save.
7.2.3 TCP/IP Filter Rule
This section shows you how to configure a TCP/IP filter rule. TCP/IP rules allow you to base the rule on the

7.2.4 Generic Filter Rule
This section shows you how to configure a generic filter rule. The purpose of generic rules is to allow you to
filter non-IP packets. For IP, it is generally easier to use the IP rules directly.
For generic rules, the Prestige treats a packet as a byte stream as opposed to an IP or IPX packet. You specify
the portion of the packet to check with the Offset (from 0) and the Length fields, both in bytes. The Prestige
applies the Mask (bit-wise ANDing) to the data portion before comparing the result against the Value to
determine a match. The Mask and Value are specified in hexadecimal numbers. Note that it takes two
hexadecimal digits to represent a byte, so if the length is 4, the value in either field will take 8 digits, e.g.,
FFFFFFFF.
To configure a generic rule, select Generic Filter Rule in the Filter Type field in the Menu 21.4.1 and press
[Enter] to open Generic Filter Rule, as shown below.

7.3 Example Filter
Let’s design a filter to block outside users from telnetting and using FTP connections into the Prestige. Please
see our Supporting CD for more example filters.
Figure 7-10 Filter Example
7.3.1 Before you begin
Before configuring a filter, you must know the following information:
1. The inbound packet type (protocol & port number): In this case, it is TCP (06) protocol with
port 21 (FTP) and port 23 (Telnet).
2. The source IP address: In this case, as all connections from outside are blocked, the source IP is
0.0.0.0.
3. The destination IP address: It is the Prestige's IP address if SUA is disabled and you have a static
IP; otherwise enter 0.0.0.0 as the destination IP. Once 0.0.0.0 is set as the destination IP, Telnet and
FTP connections are not allowed to reach the Prestige. For the LAN-to-LAN connection, you enter
the Prestige's LAN IP as the destination IP in the filter rule. After the Telnet_WAN filter is applied
to the remote node, it blocks the Telnet and FTP connections to the Prestige, but continues to permit
FTP connection to the local FTP server.

7.4 Filter Types and SUA
There are two classes of filter rules, Generic Filter (Device) rules and Protocol Filter (TCP/IP and IPX)
rules. Generic Filter rules act on the raw data from/to LAN and WAN. Protocol Filter rules act on the IP and
IPX packets. Generic and TCP/IP filter rules are discussed in more detail in the next section. When SUA is
enabled, the inside IP address and port number are replaced on a connection-by-connection basis, which
makes it impossible to know the exact address and port on the wire. Therefore, the Prestige applies the
protocol filters to the “native” IP address and port number before SUA for outgoing packets and after SUA
for incoming packets. On the other hand, the generic, or device filters are applied to the raw packets that
appear on the wire. They are applied at the point when the Prestige is receiving and sending the packets; i.e.
the interface. The interface can be an Ethernet port or any other hardware port. The following diagram
illustrates this.

7.5 Applying a Filter and Factory Defaults
This section shows you where to apply the filter(s) after you design it (them). Three sets of factory default
filter rules have been configured in Menu 21 to prevent NetBIOS traffic from triggering calls and to prevent
incoming telnetting.
7.5.1 LAN traffic
You seldom need to filter LAN traffic; however, the filter sets may be useful to block certain packets, reduce
traffic and prevent security breaches. Go to Menu 3.1 (shown below) and enter the number(s) of the filter
set(s) that you want to apply as appropriate. You can choose up to four filter sets (from twelve) by entering
their numbers separated by commas, e.g., 3, 4, 6, 11. Input filter sets filter incoming traffic to the Prestige
and Output filter sets filter outgoing traffic from the Prestige. The factory default set, NetBIOS_LAN, is
inserted in protocol filters –field under Input Filter Sets in Menu 3.1 to block NetBIOS traffic to the
Prestige from the LAN.
Figure 7-15 Filtering LAN Traffic
7.5.2 Remote Node Filters
Go to Menu 11.5 (shown below) and enter the number(s) of the filter set(s) as appropriate. You can cascade
up to four filter sets by entering their numbers separated by commas. The factory default filter set,
NetBIOS_WAN, is inserted in the protocol filters field under Call Filter Sets in Menu 11.5 to block local
NetBIOS traffic from triggering calls to the ISP (when you are using PPTP/PPPoE encapsulation only).
Filter set three, Telnet_FTP_WAN, blocks telnet and FTP connections from the WAN Port to help prevent
security breaches.

SNMP Configuration 8-1
Chapter 8:
SNMP Configuration
8.1 SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information
between network devices. SNMP is a member of TCP/IP protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent
functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network. The
Prestige supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1).
Note: Keep in mind that SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured on your Prestige.
The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.
Figure 8-1 SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and manager.
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
8-2 SNMP Configuration
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device . An agent translates the local
management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the
console through which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes
applications that control and monitor managed devices.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be
collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of packets received, node port status
etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows manager and
agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a
request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:
Get
Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
GetNext
Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPv1,
when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed
by a series of GetNext operations.
Set
Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
Trap
Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
8.1.1 SNMP Configuration
To configure SNMP, select option 22. SNMP Configuration from the Main Menu to open Menu 22 - SNMP
Configuration, as shown in the figure. The “community” for Get, Set and Trap fields is simply SNMP’s
terminology for password.

Transferring Files 10-1
Chapter 10:
Transferring Files
This chapter tells you how to back up and restore your configuration file as well as upload new
firmware and a new configuration file.
10.1 Filename conventions
The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory default settings in the menus
such as password, DHCP Setup, TCP/IP Setup etc. It arrives from ZyXEL with a name of prestige.ROM or
similar. Once you have customized the Prestige's setting, they can be saved back to PC/workstation under a
filename of your choosing. Choose something meaningful, e.g., “prestige.cfg”.
The ZyNOS firmware file (sometimes referred to as the ras file) is the file that contains the ZyXEL Network
Operating System firmware and usually is the Prestige model name with a *.bin extension, e.g., prestige.bin.
With serial (XMODEM) transfer, the filenames on the PC are your choice. With many ftp and tftp clients,
they are as well as seen next.
ftp> put prestige.bin ras
This is a sample ftp session showing the transfer of the file "prestige.bin" on your computer to the Prestige
and renaming it “ras”.
ftp> get rom-0 prestige.cfg
This is a sample ftp session saving the current Prestige configuration to the file prestige.cfg on your
computer.
If your [t]ftp client does not allow you have a destination filename different than the source, you will need to
rename them as the Prestige only recognizes "rom-0" and "ras". Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both
files for later use.
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename on the Prestige
and the external filename refers to the filename not on the Prestige, i.e., on your workstation, local network
or ftp site and so the name (but not the extension) will vary. The AT command is the command you enter
after you press “Y” when prompted in the SMT menu to go into debug mode. After uploading new firmware
see the ZyNOS F/W Version field in Menu 24.2.1 (Figure 9-4 Menu 24.2.1 System Maintenance -
Information) to check you have uploaded the correct firmware version.

10.1.1 Firmware Development
It is important to upgrade your firmware regularly, especially if there are problems. If you discover an
unexpected behavior, or bug, see if your problem is mentioned in the release notes. Load it according to
instructions (e.g., see if the default configuration file is needed also). If the problem still exists, e-mail or call
tech support.
10.2 Backup Configuration
The Prestige displays DIFFERENT messages explaining different ways to backup,
restore and upload files in Menu 24.5, 24.6, 24. 7.1 and 24.7.2 when you use the
serial/console port and when you telnet in.
Option 5 from Menu 24 - System Maintenance allows you to backup the current Prestige configuration to
your workstation. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly. FTP and TFTP
are the preferred methods for backing up your current workstation configuration to your computer since FTP
and TFTP are faster. You can also perform backup and restore using menu 24 through the console port. Any
serial communications program should work fine; however, you must use the XMODEM protocol to perform
the download/upload and you don’t have to rename the files (see section 10.1).
Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the workstation. Download means to transfer
from another machine to the workstation, while upload means from your workstation to another machine.

1.1.1 Upload Router Firmware using TFTP
Even though TFTP should work over WAN as well, it is not recommended.
To use TFTP, your workstation must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To update your firmware, follow the
procedure below.
Step 1. Use telnet from your workstation to connect to the Prestige and log in. Because TFTP does not
have any security checks, the Prestige records the IP address of the telnet client and accepts TFTP
requests only from this address.
Step 2. Put the SMT in Command Interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 – System
Maintenance.
Step 3. Enter command “sys stdio 0” to disable the SMT timeout, so the TFTP transfer will not be
interrupted. Enter command “sys stdio 5” to restore the five-minute SMT timeout (default)
when the file transfer is complete.
Step 4. Launch the TFTP client on your workstation and connect to the Prestige.
Step 5. Go to SMT menu 24.7.1. Note that you must remain in this menu until file transfer is complete.
Step 6. Use the TFTP client to transfer files between the Prestige and the workstation.
Step 7. Specify “ras” as the remote filename if you want to upload firmware from your workstation into
the Prestige.
Step 8. The system reboots automatically after a successful firmware upload.
Note that the telnet connection must be active and the SMT in CI mode before and
during the TFTP transfer. TFTP and FTP over WAN will not work if you have applied a
filter in Menu 11.5 to block Telnet service from the WAN.
For details on TFTP commands, please consult the documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX,
use “put” to transfer from the workstation to the Prestige, and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.

1.1.2 Example Using TFTP To Upload Prestige Firmware
The following is an example tftp command:
TFTP [-i] host put prestige.bin ras
where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), “host” is the
Prestige IP address, “put” transfers the file source on the workstation (prestige.bin – name of the firmware on
your computer) to the file destination on the remote host (ras - name of the firmware on the Prestige).
The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in third party TFTP clients.
Table 10-3 Third Party TFTP Clients –General fields
Host Enter the IP address of the Prestige. 192.168.1.1 is the Prestige
default IP address when shipped.
Send/Fetch Press “Send” to upload the file to the Prestige and “Fetch” to back
up the file on your computer.
Local File Enter the path and name of the firmware file (*.bin extension) or
configuration file (*.rom extension) on your computer.
Remote File This is the filename on the Prestige. The filename for the firmware
is “ras” and for the configuration file, is “rom-0”.
Binary Transfer the file in binary mode.
Abort Stop transfer of the file.
1.2 Upload Router Configuration File
The configuration data, system-related data, the error log and the trace log are all stored in the configuration
file. Please be aware that uploading the configuration file replaces all previous configurations. You can
upgrade the configuration file either through an FTP or TFTP client program (preferred method) or through
the RS-232 console port (in the event of the network being down). Updating the configuration file via the
console port under normal conditions is not recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster. Please note that you
need to reboot the system after the configuration file update process is complete. Note that if you replace the
current configuration with the default configuration file, i.e.. prestige.rom, you will lose all configurations
that you had before and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default of 9600 bps with 8 data bit,
no parity and 1 stop bit(8n1). You will need to change your serial communication software to the default
before you can connect to the Prestige again. The password will be reset to the default of 1234, as well.

11.3 Time and Date Setting
There is no Real Time Chip (RTC) chip in the Prestige, so we have a software mechanism to get the current
time and date from an external server when you power up your Prestige. Menu 24.10 does just that – it
allows you to update the time and date settings of your Prestige. The real time is then displayed in the
Prestige error logs. If you do not choose a time service protocol that your timeserver will send when the
Prestige powers up you can enter the time manually but each time the system is booted, the time & date will
be reset to 2000/01/01 0:0:0.
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway

Field Description
Use Time Server when
Bootup= Enter the time service protocol that your timeserver will send when the
Prestige powers up. Choices are Daytime (RFC 867), Time (RFC-868),
NTP (RFC-1305) and None. The main differences between them are the
format, e.g., the Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/date/year/time
zone of the server while the Time (RFC-868) format gives a 4-byte
integer giving the total number of seconds since 1/1/1970 at 0:0:0. The
NTP (RFC-1305) format is similar. Not all timeservers support all
protocols, so you may have to check with your ISP/network administrator
or use trial and error to find a protocol that works. If you select None
(this is the default value), you can enter the time manually but each time
the system is booted, the time & date will be reset to 2000/01/01 0:0:0.

Chapter 12:
Call Schedule Setup
The call scheduling feature allows the Prestige to manage a remote node and dictate when a remote node
should be called and for how long. This feature is just like the scheduler in a video recorder (record the
program you want in a specified time). You can apply up to 4 schedule sets in Menu 11.1 - Remote Node
Profile. You configure each schedule in Menu 26 - Schedule Setup. Enter 26 from the main menu to bring
up the following screen.
Figure 12-1 Schedule Setup
As we can have multiple sets that are applied in turn, lowered numbered sets take precedence over higher
numbered sets in case of conflict. For example, if we apply sets 1,2,3,4 in a remote node, then set 1 will take
precedence over set 2, 3 and 4 as it is applied first. Set 2 will take precedence over set 3 and 4, and so on.
You can design up to 12 schedule sets but you can only apply up to 4 schedule sets for a remote node.
To delete a schedule set, enter the set number and press the [Space Bar] (or delete) in
the Edit Name field to delete the set name.

Telnet 13-1
Chapter 13:
Telnet Configuration and Capabilities
This chapter covers the Telnet Configuration and Capabilities of the Prestige.
13.1 About Telnet Configuration
Before the Prestige is properly setup for TCP/IP, the only option for configuring it is through the console
port. Once your Prestige is configured, you can use telnet to configure it remotely as shown below.
Figure 13-1 Telnet Configuration on a TCP/IP Network
When IP routing is disabled, the Prestige can still function as a host.
13.2 Telnet Under SUA
When SUA is enabled and an inside server is specified, telnet connections from the outside will be
forwarded to the inside server. So to configure the Prestige via telnet from the outside, you must first telnet to
the inside server, and then telnet from the server to the Prestige using its inside LAN IP address. If no insider
server is specified, telnet to the SUA's IP address will connect to the Prestige directly.
13.3 Telnet Capabilities
13.3.1 Single Administrator
To prevent confusion and discrepancy on the configuration, your Prestige only allows one administrator to
log in at any time. Your Prestige also gives priority to the console port over telnet. If you have already
connected to your Prestige via telnet, you will be logged out if another user logs in to the Prestige via the
console port.
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
Telnet
13-2
13.3.2 System Timeout
There is a system timeout of 5 minutes (300 seconds) for either the console port or telnet. Your Prestige will
automatically log you out if you do nothing in this timeout period, except when it is continuously updating
the status in Menu 24.1.

PPTP E
Appendix A: PPTP
What is PPTP?
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) is a Microsoft proprietary protocol (RFC 2637 for PPTP is
informational only) to tunnel PPP frames.
How can we transport PPP frames from a PC to a broadband modem over Ethernet?
A solution is to build PPTP into the ANT (ADSL Network Termination) where PPTP is used only over the
short haul between the PC and the modem over Ethernet. For the rest of the connection, the PPP frames are
transported with PPP over AAL5 (RFC 2364). The PPP connection, however, is still between the PC and the
ISP. The various connections in this setup are depicted in the following diagram. The drawback of this
solution is that it requires one separate ATM VC per destination.
PPTP and the Prestige
When the Prestige is deployed in such a setup, it appears as a PC to the ANT (ADSL Network Termination).
In Windows VPN or PPTP Pass-Through feature, the PPTP tunneling is created from Windows 95, 98 and
NT clients to an NT server in a remote location. The pass-through feature allows users on the network to
access a different remote server using the Prestige's Internet connection. In SUA mode, the Prestige is able to
pass the PPTP packets to the internal PPTP server (i.e. NT server) behind the NAT. Users need to forward
PPTP packets to port 1723 by configuring the server in Menu 15.1. In the case above as the PPTP connection
is initialized by the remote PPTP Client, the user must configure the PPTP clients. For the Prestige the PPTP
connection is initialized by the Prestige and hence, there is no need to configure the remote PPTP clients.
PPTP Protocol Overview
PPTP is very similar to L2TP, since L2TP is based on both PPTP and L2F (Cisco’s Layer 2 Forwarding).
Conceptually, there are three parties in PPTP, namely the PNS (PPTP Network Server), the PAC (PPTP
Access Concentrator) and the PPTP user. The PNS is the box that hosts both the PPP and the PPTP stacks
and forms one end of the PPTP tunnel. The PAC is the box that dials/answers the phone calls and relays the
PPP frames to the PNS. The PPTP user is not necessarily a PPP client (can be a PPP server too). Both the
PNS and the PAC must have IP connectivity; however, the PAC must in addition have dial-up capability.
The phone call is between the user and the PAC and the PAC tunnels the PPP frames to the PNS. The PPTP
user is unaware of the tunnel between the PAC and the PNS.

PPTP
F
Microsoft includes PPTP as a part of the Windows OS. In Microsoft’s implementation, the PC, and hence the
Prestige, is the PNS that requests the PAC (the ANT) to place an outgoing call over AAL5 to an RFC 2364
server.
Control & PPP connections
Each PPTP session has distinct control connection and PPP data connection.
Call Connection
The control connection runs over TCP. Similar to L2TP, a tunnel control connection is first established
before call control messages can be exchanged. Please note that a tunnel control connection supports
multiple call sessions.
The following diagram depicts the message exchange of a successful call setup between a PC and an ANT.
PPP Data Connection
The PPP frames are tunneled between the PNS and PAC over GRE (General Routing Encapsulation, RFC
1701, 1702). The individual calls within a tunnel are distinguished using the Call ID field in the GRE
header.

PPPoE G
Appendix B: PPPoE
PPPoE in Action
An ADSL modem bridges a PPP session over Ethernet (PPP over Ethernet, RFC 2516) from your PC to an
ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) which connects to a xDSL Access Concentrator where the PPP
session terminates (see the next figure). One PVC can support any number of PPP sessions from your LAN.
PPPoE provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP.
Benefits of PPPoE
PPPoE offers the following benefits:
1. It provides you with a familiar dial-up networking (DUN) user interface.
2. It lessens the burden on the carriers of provisioning virtual circuits all the way to the ISP on multiple
switches for thousands of users. For GSTN (PSTN & ISDN), the switching fabric is already in place.
3. It allows the ISP to use the existing dial-up model to authenticate and (optionally) to provide
differentiated services.
Traditional Dial-up Scenario
The following diagram depicts a typical hardware configuration where the PCs use traditional dial-up
networking.
Diagram 1 Single-PC per Modem Hardware Configuration
How PPPoE Works
The PPPoE driver makes the Ethernet appear as a serial link to the PC and the PC runs PPP over it, while the
modem bridges the Ethernet frames to the Access Concentrator (AC). Between the AC and an ISP, the AC is
acting as a L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) LAC (L2TP Access Concentrator) and tunnels the PPP
frames to the ISP. The L2TP tunnel is capable of carrying multiple PPP sessions.
Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
PPPoE
H
With PPPoE, the VC (Virtual Circuit) is equivalent to the dial-up connection and is between the modem and
the AC, as opposed to all the way to the ISP. However, the PPP negotiation is between the PC and the ISP.
Prestige as a PPPoE Client
When using the Prestige as a PPPoE client, the PCs on the LAN see only Ethernet and are not aware of
PPPoE. This alleviates the administrator from having to manage the PPPoE clients on the individual PCs.

Safety Instructions K
Appendix D: Important Safety Instructions
The following safety instructions apply to the Prestige:
1. Be sure to read and follow all warning notices and instructions.
2. The maximum recommended ambient temperature for the Prestige is 40º(104º). Care must be taken to
allow sufficient air circulation or space between units when the Prestige is installed inside a closed rack
assembly. The operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room
temperature.
3. Installation in a rack without sufficient airflow can be unsafe.
4. Racks should safely support the combined weight of all equipment.
5. The connections and equipment that supply power to the Prestige should be capable of operating safely
with the maximum power requirements of the Prestige. In case of a power overload, the supply circuits
and supply wiring should not become hazardous. The input rating of the Prestige is printed on the
nameplate.
6. The AC adapter must plug in to the right supply voltage, i.e. 120VAC adapter for North America and
230VAC adapter for Europe. Make sure that the supplied AC voltage is correct and stable. If the input
AC voltage is over 10% lower than the standard may cause the Prestige to malfunction.
7. Installation in restricted access areas must comply with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord of the AC adapter, and do not locate the product where
anyone can walk on the power cord.
9. Do not service the product by yourself. Opening or removing covers can expose you to dangerous high
voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
10. Generally, when installed after the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable
safety standards and regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If necessary, consult
the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities to ensure compliance.
11. A rare condition can create a voltage potential between the earth grounds of two or more buildings. If
products installed in separate building are interconnected, the voltage potential can cause a hazardous
condition. Consult a qualified electrical consultant to determine whether or not this phenomenon exists
and, if necessary, implement corrective action before interconnecting the products. If the equipment is to
be used with telecommunications circuit, take the following precautions:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet location unless the jack is specially designed for wet location.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines (other than a cordless telephone) during an
electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use a telephone or other equipment connected to telephone lines to report a gas leak near the
leak.

cable connects two similar devices, for example, two data terminal equipment (DTE) or
data communications equipment (DCE) devices.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically assigns IP addresses to clients
when they log on. DHCP centralizes IP address management on central computers
that run the DHCP server program. DHCP leases addresses for a period of time which
means that addresses are made available to assign to other systems.
DNS Domain Name System. A database of domain names and their IP addresses. DNS is
the primary naming system for many distributed networks, including the Internet.

the right is the most general.
DSL/xDSL Digital Subscriber Line technologies enhances the data capacity of the existing twisted-
pair wire that runs between the local telephone company switching offices and most
homes and offices. 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). DSL connections are point-to-point dedicated
circuits, meaning that they are always connected. There is no dial-up. There is also no
switching, which means that the line is a direct connection into the carrier’s frame

DSLAM A Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) is a network device, usually at a
telephone company central office, that receives signals from multiple customer Digital
Subscriber Line connections and puts the signals on a high-speed backbone line using
multiplexing techniques. Depending on the product, DSLAM multiplexers connect DSL
lines with some combination of asynchronous transfer mode ATM, frame relay, or IP

FTP File Transfer Protocol is an Internet file transfer service that operates on the Internet
and over TCP/IP networks. FTP is basically a client/server protocol in which a system
running the FTP server accepts commands from a system running an FTP client. The
service allows users to send commands to the server for uploading and downloading
files. FTP is popular on the Internet because it allows for speedy transfer of large files
between two systems.

is the primary protocol used for web sites and web browsers. It is also prone to certain
kinds of attacks.
IANA Internet Assigned Number Authority acts as the clearinghouse to assign and
coordinate the use of numerous Internet protocol parameters such as Internet
addresses, domain names, protocol numbers, and more. The IANA Web site is at

routing packets on the Internet and other TCP/IP-based networks.
IPCP (PPP) IP Control Protocol allows changes to IP parameters such as the IP address.
IPX Internetwork Packet eXchange The native NetWare internetworking protocol is IPX
(Internetwork Packet Exchange). Like IP (Internet Protocol), IPX is an internetworking
protocol that provides datagram services.
ISP Internet Service Providers provide connections into the Internet for home users and
businesses. There are local, regional, national, and global ISPs. You can think of local
ISPs as the gatekeepers into the Internet.
LAN Local Area Network is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. A LAN, as its name implies, is limited to a local area. This has to do more
with the electrical characteristics of the medium than the fact that many early LANs
were designed for departments, although the latter accurately describes a LAN as well.
LANs have different topologies, the most common being the linear bus and the star
configuration.
MAC On a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC (Media Access Control)
address is your computer's unique hardware number. (On an Ethernet LAN, it's the
same as your Ethernet address.) The MAC layer frames data for transmission over the
network, then passes the frame to the physical layer interface where it is transmitted as
a stream of bits.
NAT Network Address Translation is the translation of an Internet Protocol address used
within one network to a different IP address known within another network - see also
SUA.
NDIS Network Driver Interface Specification is a Windows specification for how
communication protocol programs (such as TCP/IP) and network device drivers should

Packet Filter A filter that scans packets and decides whether to let them through.
PAP Password Authentication Protocol PAP is a security protocol that requires users to
enter a password before accessing a secure system. The user’s name and password
are sent over the wire to a server, where they are compared with a database of user
account names and passwords. This technique is vulnerable to wiretapping
(eavesdropping) because the password can be captured and used by someone to log
onto the system.
POP Post Office Protocol. This is a common protocol used for sending, receiving, and
delivering mail messages.
POTS Plain Old Telephone Service is the analog telephone service that runs over copper
twisted-pair wires and is based on the original Bell telephone system. Twisted-pair
wires connect homes and businesses to a neighborhood central office. This is called
the local loop. The central office is connected to other central offices and long-distance
facilities.
PPP Point to Point Protocol. PPP encapsulates and transmits IP (Internet Protocol)
datagrams over serial point-to-point links. PPP works with other protocols such as IPX
(Internetwork Packet Exchange). The protocol is defined in IETF (Internet Engineering
Task Force) RFC 1661 through 1663. PPP provides router-to-router, host-to-router,
and host-to-host connections.
Protocol A “language” for communicating on a network. Protocols are sets of standards or rules
used to define, format, and transmit data across a network. There are many different
protocols used on networks. For example, most web pages are transmitted using the
HTTP protocol.
Proxy Server A server that performs network operations in lieu of other systems on the network.
Proxy Servers are most often used as part of a firewall to mask the identity of users
inside a corporate network yet still provide access to the Internet. When a user
connects to a proxy server, via a web browser or other networked application, he
submits commands to the proxy server. The server then submits those same
commands to the Internet, yet without revealing any information about the system that
originally requested the information. Proxy servers are an ideal way to also have all
users on a corporate network channel through one point for all external
communications. Proxy servers can be configured to block certain kinds of connections
and stop some hacks.
PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network was put into place many years ago as a voice
telephone call-switching system. The system transmits voice calls as analog signals
across copper twisted cables from homes and businesses to neighborhood COs
(central offices); this is often called the local loop. The PSTN is a circuit-switched
system, meaning that an end-to-end private circuit is established between caller and
callee.

PVC Permanent Virtual Circuit. A PVC is a logical point-to-point circuit between customer
sites. PVCs are low-delay circuits because routing decisions do not need to be made
along the way. Permanent means that the circuit is preprogrammed by the carrier as a
path through the network. It does not need to be set up or torn down for each session.
RFC An RFC (Request for Comments) is an Internet formal document or standard that is the
result of committee drafting and subsequent review by interested parties. Some RFCs
are informational in nature. Of those that are intended to become Internet standards,
the final version of the RFC becomes the standard and no further comments or
changes are permitted. Change can occur, however, through subsequent RFCs.
RIP Routing Information Protocol is an interior or intra-domain routing protocol that uses
the distance-vector routing algorithms. RIP is used on the Internet and is common in
the NetWare environment as a method for exchanging routing information between
routers.
Router A device that connects two networks together. Routers monitor, direct, and filter
information that passes between these networks. Because of their location, routers are
a good place to install traffic or mail filters. Routers are also prone to attacks because
they contain a great deal of information about a network.
Server A computer, or a software package, that provides a specific kind of service to client
software running on other computers.
SNMP System Network Management Protocol is a popular management protocol defined by
the Internet community for TCP/IP networks. It is a communication protocol for
collecting information from devices on the network.
STP Twisted-pair cable consists of copper-core wires surrounded by an insulator. Two wires
are twisted together to form a pair, and the pair form a balanced circuit. The twisting
prevents interference problems. STP (shielded twisted-pair) provides protection
against external crosstalk.
Straight through
Ethernet cable A cable that wires a pin to its equivalent pin. This cable connects two dissimilar
devices, for example, a data terminal equipment (DTE) device and a data
communications equipment (DCE) device. A straight through Ethernet cable is the
most common cable used.

resources to run. TFTP uses the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) rather than TCP
(Transmission Control Protocol).
UDP UDP is a connectionless transport service that dispenses with the reliability services
provided by TCP. UDP gives applications a direct interface with IP and the ability to
address a particular application process running on a host via a port number without
setting up a connection session.
UNIX A widely used operating system in large networks.
URL (Uniform Resource Locator) URL is an object on the Internet or an intranet that resides
on a host system. Objects include directories and an assortment of file types, including
text files, graphics, video, and audio. A URL is the address of an object that is normally
typed in the Address field of a Web browser. The URL is basically a pointer to the
location of an object.
VPN Virtual Private Network. These networks use public connections (such as the Internet)
to transfer information. That information is usually encrypted for security purposes.
WAN Wide Area Network s link geographically dispersed offices in other cities or around the
globe. Just about any long-distance communication medium can serve as a WAN link,
including switched and permanent telephone circuits, terrestrial radio systems, and
satellite systems.
WWW (World Wide Web) -- Frequently used when referring to "The Internet", WWW has two
major meanings - First, loosely used: the whole constellation of resources that can be
accessed using Gopher, FTP, HTTP, telnet, USENET, WAIS and some other tools.
Second, the universe of hypertext servers (HTTP servers).
