Novell IPX Ethernet Setup Refer to the chapter on Novell IPX configuration. Bridge Ethernet Setup Refer to the chapter on Bridging configuration.
Configuring for Internet Access Menu 4 of the SMT allows you to configure Internet access on one screen. Before you configure the Prestige for Internet access, you need to collect the following information from your ISP (Internet Service Provider). • IP address of the ISP’s gateway (optional). • Telephone number(s) of your ISP. • Login name.
IP Addresses and the Internet Conventionally, the Internet (with a capital I) refers the large-scale interconnected networks across the world that was originally developed by the US Department of Defense. The Internet uses exclusively the TCP/IP suite of protocols. The term “internet” (lower case i), however, refers to any interconnected networks using any protocol. An internet can be as simple as two hosts on a LAN, or it can be as complex as the Internet itself.
Once you have determined the IP address range for your local network, you may want to use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to assign addresses to individual hosts on the network, as an alternative to manually configuring each host’s IP settings. See the TCP/IP Ethernet Setup and DHCP section on page 36 for more information about DHCP. Internet Access Configuration The following steps describe the set-up procedure to configure your Prestige for Internet access.
4. Pri(mary) Phone # and Sec(ondary) Phone Number - Both the Primary and the Secondary Phone number refer to the number that the Prestige will dial to connect to the ISP. The Prestige will always call your ISP using the Primary Phone number first. If the Primary Phone number is busy or does not answer, the Prestige will call the Secondary Phone number if available.
call. Some phone companies in North America charge less if calls are made using DOVBS. 9. Press ENTER at the message: Press ENTER to Confirm ... to confirm your selections, or press ESC at any time to cancel your selections. 10. At this point, the SMT will ask if you wish to test the Internet connection. If you select Yes, the Prestige will call the ISP to test the Internet connection. If the test fails, note the error message that you receive and take the appropriate troubleshooting steps.
defined, all incoming inquiries will be filtered out by the Prestige even if you do have a server on your network. This can prevent intruders from probing your system. The Prestige accomplishes this address sharing by translating the internal LAN IP addresses to a single address that is globally unique on the Internet. For more information on IP address translation, refer to RFC 1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT). In summary: 1.
Figure 4-3 A Single User Account Using the Prestige Configuration for Single User Account The steps for configuring your Prestige for Single User Internet Access are identical to conventional Internet Access with the exception that you need to fill in three extra fields. Follow steps 1-8 from the previous section, Internet Access Configuration. 1. Single User Account - Enter Yes to enable the Single User Account feature. Use the space bar to toggle between Yes and No. 2.
At this point, the Prestige will ask if you wish to test the Internet connection. If you select Yes, the Prestige will call the ISP to test the Internet connection. If the test fails, note the error message that you receive and take the appropriate troubleshooting steps. Configuring Backup ISP Accounts Sometimes it may be desirable to configure more than one ISP account for backup purposes.
You will now be able to access the Internet through the backup ISP Remote Node.
Configuring for Internet Access 49
Remote Node Configuration A Remote Node represents both a remote gateway and the internet behind it, across an ISDN connection. A Remote Node is required for placing calls to or answering calls from a remote network. Note that when you use Menu 4 to configure the Internet, the Prestige will automatically add a Remote Node for you. Once a Remote Node is configured properly, traffic to the remote LAN will trigger the Prestige to make a call automatically (i.e., Dial On Demand).

Enter the login name for the Prestige when it calls this Remote Node. 9. Outgoing: My Password - This is a required field if Call Direction is either Both or Out. Enter the password for the Prestige when it calls this Remote Node. 10. Outgoing: Authen - This field sets the authentication protocol used for outgoing calls.
Remote Node using the Primary Phone number first. If the Primary Phone number is busy or does not answer, the Prestige will call the Secondary Phone number if available. Once connected, the Prestige will use the BACP (Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol) to establish the second B-channel if Multilink PPP is enabled, and the Remote Node supports MP and BACP. Some areas require dialing # before the phone number for local calls.
Options. For more information on filling out this screen, refer to the chapter pertaining to your specific protocol. 17. Telco Options: Transfer Rate - This field (which only applies to outgoing calls) controls the rate at which the data is transferred between your Prestige and the Remote Node. The options for this field are: • 64K - The Prestige will place 64Kbps (bits per second) digital data calls. • 56K - (For North America only) The Prestige will place 56Kbps digital data calls.
where no data is passed between the Remote Node and your Prestige. Administrative packets such as RIP are not counted as data. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes). Once you have completed filling in Menu 11.1 - Remote Node Profile, press ENTER at the message: Press ENTER to Confirm ... to confirm your selections, or press ESC at any time to cancel your selections. Bandwidth on Demand The Bandwidth on Demand (BOD) feature allows you to bundle both B channels in one connection.
64 kbps (kilobits per second). The parameters are separated by a -. For example, 30-60 means the add threshold is 60 kbps and subtract threshold is 30 kbps. The Prestige will perform bandwidth on demand only if it initiates the call. Addition and subtraction are based on the value set in the BOD Calculation field. If this field is set to Transmit or Receive, then traffic in either direction will be calculated to determine if a link should be added or dropped.
• CISCO PPP - Cisco PPP options will be used. 2. Compression - Turn on the Stac Compression. The default for this field is Off. 3. Multiple Link Options: BOD Calculation - Select the direction of the traffic you wish to calculate in order to determine when to add or subtract a link. The default for this field is Transmit or Receive. 4. Multiple Link Options: Base Trans Rate - Select the base data transfer rate for this Remote Node. This parameter is in kilobits per second (Kbps).
Once you have completed Menu 11.2 - Remote Node PPP Options, press ENTER at the message: Press ENTER to Confirm ... to confirm your selections, or press ESC to cancel your selections.
Dial-In Configuration You can configure the Prestige to receive calls from Remote Dialin Users (e.g. telecommuters) and Remote Nodes. There are several differences between Remote Dial-in Users and Remote Nodes: 1. The Prestige can make calls to or answer calls from the Remote Node. However, the Prestige will only answer calls from Remote Dial-in Users. 2. Each Remote Node can have its own set of parameters such as Bandwidth On Demand, Protocol, Security, etc.
Telecommuting Telecommuting enables people to work at remote sites and yet still have access to the resources in the business office. Typically, a telecommuter will uses a client workstation with TCP/IP or IPX and dial-out capabilities, e.g., a Windows 95 PC or a Macintosh and an ISDN Terminal Adapter (TA). For telecommuters to call in to your LAN, you need to configure a Dial-In User Profile for each telecommuter.
router on the remote network (see Chapter 5). An example of the Prestige being used as a dial-in server is shown below: Figure 6-2 Example of a Dial-In Server Application Default Dial-In Setup This section covers the default dial-in parameters. The parameters in Menu 13 affect incoming calls from all Remote Dial-in Users and Remote Nodes before authentication is completed. Once authentication is completed, and if it matches a Remote Node, the Prestige will use parameters from that particular Remote Node.
Figure 6-3 Menu 13 - Default Dial-in Setup From the Main Menu, enter 13 to go to Menu 13 - Default Dial-in Setup. This section will describe how to configure the protocolindependent fields in this menu. For the protocol-dependent fields, refer to the appropriate chapters. 1. Telco Options: CLID Authen. - This field sets the CLID authentication parameter for all incoming calls. There are three options for this field: • • • None - No CLID is required. Required - Must provide CLID, or call is disconnected.
• None - No authentication required. 3. PPP Options: Mutual Authen. - Some vendors, e.g. Cisco, implement a type of mutual authentication. That is, the node that initiates the call will request a user name and password from the far end that they are dialing to. If the Remote Node that is dialing in implements this type of authentication, set this field to Yes. 4. PAP Login - This field will only be enabled if the Mutual Authen. field is set to Yes.
address. This is to prevent the remote host from using an invalid IP address and potentially disrupting the whole network. If set to No, the remote host must use the IP address assigned by the Prestige from the IP pool, configured below. The default is Yes. 10. Dial-In IP Address Supplied By: IP Pool - This field tells the Prestige to provide the remote host with an IP address from the pool. This field is required if Dial-In IP Address Supplied By: Dial-in User is set to No.
16. Session Options: Input Filter Sets and Session Options: Output Filter Sets - In these fields, you need to select the filter set(s) to filter the incoming and outgoing traffic between your Prestige and the Remote Dial-in User. Keep in mind that these filter set(s) will only apply to all Remote Dial-in Users but not the Remote Nodes. You can choose from 12 different filter sets. In addition, you can link up to 4 filter sets together for further customization (e.g., 1, 5, 9, 12).

are displayed with a - (minus sign) at the beginning of the name in Menu 14. 3. Password - Enter the password for the Remote Dial-in User. 4. Callback - This field determines if the Prestige will allow call back to the Remote Dial-in User upon dial-in. If this option is enabled, the Prestige will be able to call back to the Remote Dial-in User if they request it. In such a case, the Prestige will disconnect the initial call from this user and dial back to the specified call back number (see below).
Once you have completed filling in Menu 14.1 - Edit Dial-in User , press ENTER at the message: Press ENTER to Confirm ... to save your selections, or press ESC at any time to cancel your selections. More on CLID CLID allows the Prestige to authenticate the caller before a call is answered, thus saving the cost of a connection. The Prestige uses the caller ID in the ISDN call setup message to match against the CLID in the database. However, CLID may not be available due to your switch configuration.
TCP/IP Configuration This chapter shows you how to configure the Prestige for TCP/IP. Depending on your particular applications, you will need to configure different menus. For instance, Internet access is the most common application of TCP/IP. For this application, you should configure Menu 4. We will illustrate the configuration for other applications in the following sections. IP Subnet Mask A subnet mask is a 32-bit quantity that, when logically ANDed with an IP address, yields the network number.
204.247.203.0 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 into 16 subnets (4 bits), the new subnet mask becomes 255.255.255.240. Number of Bits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Dot Decimal 128 192 224 240 248 252 254 255 LAN-to-LAN Application A typical LAN-to-LAN application is to use the Prestige to call from a branch office to the headquarters, as depicted in the following diagram. Figure 7-1 LAN-to-LAN Application For the branch office, you need to configure a Remote Node in order to dial out to the headquarters.
Remote Node Setup Follow the procedure in Chapter 5 to fill the protocolindependent parameters in Menu 11, Remote Node Profile. For the protocol-dependent parameters, follow the instructions below. If you are configuring the Prestige to receive an incoming call, you also need to set the default dial-in parameters in menu 13 (see Chapter 6). 1. Route - Make sure IP is among the protocols in the Route field. 2. IP Address - Enter the IP address of the gateway at the remote site (in this case, headquarters).
6. My WAN Addr - Some implementations, especially the UNIX derivatives, require hosts on both ends of the ISDN link to have separate addresses from the LAN, and that the addresses must have the same network number. If this is the case, enter the IP address assigned to the WAN port of the Prestige. Note that this is the address assigned to the local Prestige, not the remote router. Figure 7-3 Sample IP Addresses 7.
10. 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 not included in RIP broadcast. If no, the route to this Remote Node will be propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts. 11. RIP - This parameter determines how the Prestige handles RIP (Routing Information Protocol), and the default is Both.
destination of 204.5.1.64/26 with the gateway address being that of the Remote Node (204.5.1.150). Figure 7-4 Static Routing Example Note that in normal circumstances, the Prestige will have adequate routing information after you configure the Internet access and Remote Nodes; you do not need to configure additional static routes. You will need to configure static routes only for unusual cases, e.g., subnetting.
Figure 7-6 IP Static Route Setup 1. Route Name - Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only. 2. Active - This fields allows you to activate/deactivate this static route. 3. 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.
6. The Metric and the Private parameters have the same meaning as those in the Remote Node Setup. Once you have completed filling in the menu, press ENTER at the message: Press ENTER to Confirm ... to save your selections, or press ESC at any time to cancel your selections.
Novell IPX Configuration This chapter shows you how to configure the Prestige for IPX. Depending on your particular applications, you will need to configure different menus. We will illustrate the configuration for some applications in the following sections. IPX Network Environment Frame Type The stations on an IPX network (both clients and servers) can run on four different frame types existing on one physical Ethernet cable. These frame types include 802.2, 802.3, Ethernet II (DIX), and SNAP.
There are two different scenarios in which you would connect your Prestige to a LAN: one with a server (server side), and one without a server (client side). Figure 8-1 Prestige Operating in IPX Environment Prestige on LAN with Server When the Prestige is being connected to a LAN with an existing NetWare server station, you will not need to configure the Prestige as a seed router, and hence the network number parameter in the Ethernet Setup Menu for the Prestige.
IPX Spoofing The Prestige comes with several pre-defined call filters designed to prevent certain IPX packets from triggering a call to a Remote Node. These filters should inform your Prestige which packets should be ignored as traffic. When you are routing IPX packets, the default call filters are defined as follows: • Block periodical SAP and RIP response messages. • Block NetWare serialization packets. • Allow SAP and RIP inquiry packets.
Figure 8-2 Menu 3.3 - Novell IPX Ethernet Setup 1. Seed Router - Determine if the Prestige is to act as a seed router. This value depends on the existing network. If there is a NetWare server providing the network number, select No. If there is no NetWare server providing the network number, select Yes. 2. Frame Type - For every frame type that the Prestige needs to support, you need to set the corresponding field to Yes.
Once you have completed filling in the Menu 3.3, press ENTER the save message to save your selections, or press ESC at any time to cancel your selections.
1. Route - Make sure IPX is among the protocols in the Route field. 2. Edit IP/IPX/Bridge - Press the space bar to change it to Yes and press Enter to go to the network layer options menu. Figure 8-4 Menu 14.1 - Edit Dial-in User 3. Dial-On-Query - This field is necessary for the Prestige on the client side LAN. When set to Yes, any Get Service SAP or RIP broadcasts coming from the LAN will trigger the Prestige to make a call to that Remote Node.
6. Hop Count - This field indicates the number of intermediate networks that must be passed through to reach the Remote Node. The default is one (1). 7. Tick Count - This field indicates the time-ticks required to reach the Remote Node. The default is two (2). 8. W/D Spoofing (min) - This field is used for the Prestige on the server side LAN. The Prestige can spoof a response to a server’s WatchDog request after the connection is dropped.
Figure 8-5 NetWare Servers on Both Sides of the Link This may present a problem if you desire your client station to access a server at a remote site. For example, in the above diagram, suppose that a client station on the network on the left wishes to access the NetWare server on the right (internal network number = 111). However, the SAP broadcasts will receive a response from the server on the left (internal network number = 444).
1. Server Name - In this field, enter in the name that has been configured for the server. This name must be the exact name configured in the NetWare server. 2. Network # - This field contains the internal network number of the remote server which you wish to access. Do not use 00000000 or FFFFFFFF for this field. 3. Node # - This field contains the address of the node on which the server resides. If you are using a Novell IPX implementation, this value is 000000000001. 4.
Novell IPX Configuration 87
Bridging Configuration This chapter shows you how to configure the Bridging options for the Prestige. Depending on your particular applications, you will need to configure different menus. We will illustrate the configuration for some applications in the following sections. IPX Spoofing The Prestige comes with several pre-defined call filters designed to prevent certain IPX packets from triggering a call to a Remote Node.
Bridge Ethernet Setup Bridging is used to forward packets of unsupported protocols whose destination is not on the local Ethernet to the WAN. Basically, all non-local packets are bridged to the WAN, however, the Prestige applies a special handling for certain IPX packets to reduce the number of calls, depending on the setting of the “Handle IPX” field”. • If it is set to None, nothing is done to IPX traffic.
Figure 9-1 Bridge Ethernet Setup • Handle IPX - Set this parameter to None if there is no IPX traffic on the LAN or if you do not want to apply any special handling for IPX. Set it to Client if there are only client workstations on the LAN. Set to Server if there are only IPX servers on the LAN. If there are both clients and servers on the LAN, then the setting depends on if the local clients will access the remote servers. If they do, set to Client and set Dial-On-Broadcast in menu 11.
need to configure a Remote Node in order to dial out to another office. Remote Node Setup Follow the procedure in Chapter 5 to fill the protocol-independent parameters in Menu 11, Remote Node Profile. For the protocoldependent parameters, follow the ensuing instructions: 1. Bridge - Make sure this field is set to Yes. 2. Edit IP/IPX/Bridge - Press the space bar to change it to Yes and press Enter to go to the network layer options menu as seen below: Figure 9-2 Remote Node Bridging Configuration 3.

Press ENTER at the message: Press ENTER to Confirm ... to save your selections, or press ESC at any time to cancel your selections. Default Dial-In Setup for Bridge There is only one parameter you need to fill out for Bridging applications. • PPP Options: Recv. Authen.
Figure 9-3 Menu 12.4 - Bridge Static Route 1. Route Name - For identification purposes enter a name for the bridge static route. 2. Active - Indicates whether the static route is active or not. 3. Ether Address -Enter the MAC address of the destination device that you wish to bridge your packets to. 4. IP Address - If available, enter the IP address of the destination device that you wish to bridge your packets to. 5.
Filter Configuration About Filtering The Prestige uses filters to decide whether or not to allow passage of a data packet and/or to make a call over the ISDN line. There are three types of filters involved: incoming data filters, outgoing data filters, and call filters. Data filters screen the data to determine if the packet should be allowed to pass. Call filters are used to determine if a call should be placed.
For incoming packets, the Prestige applies data filters only. Packets are processed depending upon whether a match is made. The Prestige allows you to customize the filter sets that you wish to use. This following sections describe how to configure the Prestige’s filter sets. Prestige’s Filter Structure You can configure up to twelve filter sets with six rules in each set. Therefore, the Prestige allows you to customize up to 72 filter rules (12 x 6).
The new information will now be displayed in the read-only section of Menu 21 - Filter Set Configuration as shown below: Figure 10-2 Menu 21 - Filter Set Configuration Once you press ENTER, you will be taken to Menu - 21.1 - Filter Rules Summary as seen below. The information displayed in this menu is read-only. From here, you can examine the parameters of each rule that you have configured for that set. The following is a brief description of the abbreviations used in this menu.
• m - Refers to Action Matched. F means to forward the packet, D means to drop the packet, and N means check the next rule. • n - Refers to Action Not Matched. F means to forward the packet, D means to drop the packet, and N means check the next rule. Figure 10-3 Menu 21.1 - Filter Rules Summary If the filter type is IP (TCP/IP), the following abbreviations will be used: • Pr - Protocol. • SA - Source Address. • SP - Source Port number. • DA - Destination Address. • DP - Destination Port number.
If the filter type is IPX (Novell IPX), the following abbreviations will be used: • PT - IPX Packet Type. • SS - Source Socket. • DS - Destination Socket. For more information on configuring the filter rule parameters, refer to the next section. To configure a specific filter rule, simply select the number of the filter rule (1-6) you wish to configure and press ENTER. This will take you to Menu 21.1.1 - TCP/IP Filter Rule (next section).
Figure 10-4 Menu 21.1.1 - TCP/IP Filter Rule 1. Active - In this field, you can make the filter rule active or inactive. There are two options: • Yes. • No. 2. IP Protocol - Protocol refers to the IP specific number of the protocol. The range for this value should be between 0 and 255. For example, 6 refers to the TCP protocol. 3. IP Source Route - Determine, Yes or No, whether to check the source route. 4.
7. Destination: Port # Comp - In this field, you can select what comparison quantifier you wish to enable to compare to the value given in Destination: Port #. There are five options for this field: • None. • Less. • Greater. • Equal. • Not Equal. 8. Source: IP Addr - In this field, enter the source IP Address of the packet you wish to filter. The address is usually written in dotted decimal notation such as a.b.c.d where a, b, c, and d are numbers between 0 and 255. 9.
• • Yes - filter match only established TCP connections. No - filter match both initial and established TCP connections. 13. More - In this field, you can determine if you want to pass the packet through the next filter rule before an action is taken. There are two options for this field: • Yes. • No. If More is Yes, then Action Matched and Action Not Matched will be N/A. 14. Log - In this field, you can determine if you wish to log the results of packets attempting to pass the filter rule.
• Check Next Rule. • Forward. • Drop. Once you have completed filling in Menu 21.1.1 - TCP/IP Filter Rule, press ENTER at the message: Press ENTER to Confirm ... to confirm your selections, or press ESC at any time to cancel your selections. This data will now be displayed on Menu 21.1 - Filter Rules Summary. Generic Filter Rule This section will show you how to configure the protocolindependent parameters for a Generic filter rule for your Prestige.
2. Length - This field refers to the length (in bytes) of the data in the packet that the Prestige should use for comparison and masking. The starting point of this data is determined by Offset. The range for this field is 0 to 8. Default = 0 3. Mask - In this field, specify (in Hexadecimal) the value that the Prestige should logically qualify [and] the data in the packet. Since Length is given in bytes, you need to enter in twice the length hexadecimal numbers for this field.
Figure 10-6 Menu 21.1.3 - IPX Filter Rule 1. IPX Packet Type - Enter the IPX packet type value of the packet you wish to filter. This value should be two hex-bytes. 2. Destination/Source Network # - Enter the four hex-byte destination/source network numbers of the packet that you wish to filter. 3. Destination/Source Node # - Enter in the six hex-byte value for the destination/source node number of the packet you wish to filter. 4.

This data will now be displayed on Menu 21.1 - Filter Rules Summary.
SNMP About SNMP The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol governing network management and the monitoring of network devices and their functions. The Prestige supports the utilization of SNMP to regulate the communication that occurs between the manager station and the agent stations in a network. Basically, the Prestige, when connected to the LAN, acts as an agent station.
Figure 11-1 Menu 22 - SNMP Configuration 1. From the Main Menu, select option 22. SNMP Configuration. This will bring you to Figure 12.1 Menu 22 - SNMP Configuration. 2. You will then be prompted to enter the following information. Steps 3 -7 will describe the specific parameters involved in the configuration. The parameters you will have to fill in will be indicated in bold type. 3. Get Community - From this field, you can determine what the Get Community is for your Prestige.
If you leave the field blank (default), then the Prestige will respond to all SNMP messages it receives, regardless of origin. 6. Trap: Community - In this field, enter the community name that is sent with each trap to the SNMP manager. This should be treated like a password and match what the SNMP manager is expecting. The default is public. 7. Trap: Destination - This field contains the IP address of the station that you wish to send your SNMP traps to.
SNMP 109
System Security The Prestige incorporates a number of security measures to prevent unauthorized access to your network. For example, the Prestige supports both PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) in authenticating a Remote Node. More information on CHAP and PAP can be found in Chapter 6. By default, the Prestige can store information about up to eight different users.
obtain a copy of the RADIUS software, along with documentation for the server, at http://www.livingston.com/Tech/FTP/pub-le-radius.shtml or at ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/le/radius/ Follow the included instructions to install the server on your UNIX-based server. Once you have installed the server, you will need to edit the dictionary file in the RADIUS configuration directory (which will usually be /etc/raddb).
This will bring you to Menu 23.2 - System Security - External Server. Figure 12-1 Menu 23.2 - System Security - External Server The fields in the System Security - External Server menu are as follows: 1. Active - Determines whether the external security facility is enabled. If this field contains No, only the built-in dial-up user list will be used. If this field contains Yes, the built-in dial-up user list will be searched first, then the external authentication server. 2.
# Client Name Key #----------------------------- 192.168.0.1 1234 should be added to the client file. The Client Name field in the file gives the IP address of the Prestige router, and the Key field should be the same as the Key field in Menu 23.2. After a RADIUS server has been configured, the Prestige will use it to authenticate all users that it cant find in its internal Dial-Up User List (Menu 14).
User-Name = “joeuser”, Zyxel-Callback-Option = Mandatory, Zyxel-Callback-Phone-Source = Preconfigured Dialback-No = “5551212” Note that if CLID is turned off in the Prestige, you still need to have a separate user record for joeuser so the regular user name/password mechanism still works. Configuring the SMT Password Figure 12-2 Menu 23.1 - System Security - Change Password The following steps describe a simple setup procedure for configuring the SMT password. 1. From the Main Menu, select option 23.
5. Re-type your new system password for confirmation purposes and press ENTER. You will now need to enter in this password when you try to get into the SMT. In addition, this password will also be used when a network administrator attempts to telnet to the Prestige.
Telnet Configuration and Capabilities About Telnet Configuration When you first configure your Prestige, it must be done via a computer connected to the RS-232 port. However, once the Prestige has been initially configured, you can use telnet to configure the device remotely as shown below: Figure 13-1 Telnet Configuration on a TCP/IP Network In order to configure your Prestige in this way, you need to have assigned an IP Address to your device and have connected it to your network.
IP in menu 1, telnet will still be available provided you assign the Prestige an IP address. Telnet Capabilities Single Administrator To prevent confusion and discrepancy on the configuration, Prestige will only allow one terminal connection at any time. Prestige also gives priority to the RS-232 connection over telnet. If you have already connected to the Prestige via telnet, you will be logged out if another user is connecting to the Prestige via the RS-232 cable.
System Maintenance The Prestige provides diagnostic tools that you can use to maintain your device. Some of these tools include updates on system status, ISDN B channel status, log and trace capabilities and upgrades to the system software. This chapter will describe how to use these tools in greater detail. System Status System Status is a tool that can be used to monitor your Prestige.
Figure 14-2 Example of Menu 24.1 - System Maintenance - Status 1. To get to the System Status, select option 24. System Maintenance. This will bring you to Menu 24 - System Maintenance. 2. From this menu, select option 1. System Status. 3. There are four (4) possible commands in Menu 24.1 - System Maintenance - Status. Entering 1 will disconnect the current B1 channel call; 2 will disconnect the current B2 channel call, 3 will reset the counters; and ESC will exit this screen. 4.
8. TXPkt - the number of transmitted packets on this channel. 9. RXPkt - the number of received packets on this channel. 10. Error - the number of error packets on this channel. 11. CLU - (Current Line Utilization) - percentage of current bandwidth used on this channel. 12. ALU - (Average Line Utilization) - average CLU for this channel. 13. Up Time - time this channel has been connected to the current Remote Node. 14.
24. Country Code - refers to the one byte country code value (in decimal notation), e.g., 225 indicates North America. 25. LAN Packet Which Triggered Last Call - shows the first 48 octets of the LAN packet that triggered the last outgoing call. There are three different types of packets: IP, IPX, and RAW. By viewing the packet information, you can determine which station has sent a packet to cause the Prestige to make an outgoing call. Two example figures are shown below.
Figure 14-4 Menu 24.2 -System Maintenance - Change Terminal Baud Rate Log and Trace Log and trace tools allow users of the Prestige to view the error logs and trace records to troubleshoot any errors that may occur. The Prestige is also able to generate syslogs to send to other machines. 1. To get to the Log and Trace, select option 24. System Maintenance. This will bring you to Menu 24 - System Maintenance. 2. From this menu, select option 3. Log and Trace. This will bring you to Menu 24.
View Error Log Selecting the first option from Menu 24.3 - System Maintenance Log and Trace will display the Error Log in the system. The Error Log does not only provide the error messages but it is also a source of information about your Prestige. You can also clear the Error Log on your Prestige. After each display, you are prompted with an option to do so. Enter the appropriate choice and press ENTER. Syslog And Accounting Syslog and Accounting can be configured in Menu 24.3.
decimal notation such as a.b.c.d where a, b, c, and d are numbers between 0 and 255. 3. Log Facility - Use the space bar to toggle between the 7 different Local options. This feature is used for UNIX application. The Prestige will send three different types of syslog messages: Call information messages (i.e. CDR), Error information messages, and Session information messages.

Items 4 - 12 will describes the nine (9) options to test your Prestige and its connections. 4. Hang Up B1 Call - This tool hangs up the B1 line.
note the error message that you receive and consult your network administrator. 8. Manual Call - This provides a way for the users of the Prestige to place a manual call to a Remote Node. This tests the connectivity to that Remote Node. When you use this command, you will see traces displayed on the screen showing what is happening during the call setup and protocol negotiation. Below is an example of a successful connection.
Figure 14-8 Trace Display for a Failed IPCP Connection via Manual Call 1. Internet Setup Test - This test checks to see if your Internet access configuration has been done correctly. When this option is chosen, the Prestige will PING the Internet IP Address. If everything is working properly, you will receive an appropriate response. Otherwise, note the error message and consult your network administrator. 2.
highly recommended once your Prestige configuration is functioning. You need to download the configuration onto disk. Procedure for downloading varies depending on the type of software used to access the Prestige but you must use the XMODEM protocol to perform the download. Restore Configuration Selecting option 6 from Menu 24 - Maintenance will restore backup configuration from disk to the Prestige. You need to upload a backup file to the Prestige.
Figure 14-9 Example of uploading RAS using PCPLUS Command Interpreter Mode This option allows the user to enter the command interpreter mode. This mode allows you to diagnose, test, and configure your Prestige using a specified set of commands. A list of valid commands can be found by typing help at the command prompt. For more detailed information, check the ZyXEL Web site or send email to the ZyXEL Support Group.
the set limit, future outgoing calls will not be made and the current call will be dropped. The Blacklist function prevents the Prestige from re-dialing to an unreachable phone number. It is a list of phone numbers, up to a maximum of 14, to which the Prestige will not make an outgoing call. If the Prestige tries to dial to a phone number and fails a certain number (configurable in the menu 24.9.1) times, then the phone number will be put onto the blacklist.
• Retry Timer (sec) - Elapse time after a call fails before another call may be retried. Applies before a phone number is blacklisted. Blacklist Figure 14-11 Blacklist The phone numbers on this list cannot be entered directly, instead, they are numbers which have had problems connecting in the past. The user can take a number off the list by entering the index number of entry.
Budget Management Figure 14-12 Budget Management The total budget is the time limit for an outgoing call to a Remote Node or Dial-in User. When this limit is reached, the call will be dropped and further outgoing calls to that Remote Node or Remote Dial-in User (callback) will fail. After each period, the total budget is reset. The defaults for the total budget is 0 minutes and the period is 0 hours. This means no budget control. The user can reset the total outgoing call time through this menu.

Troubleshooting This chapter contains some problems you may run into when using your Prestige. After each problem description, we have provided some instructions to help you diagnose and solve the problem. Problems Starting Up the Prestige None of the LEDs are on when you power up the Prestige • Check the power cord and the power supply and make sure it is properly connected to your Prestige. If the error persists you may have a hardware problem. In this case you should contact technical support.
Problems With the ISDN Line The ISDN initialization failed This problem occurs when you attempt to save the parameters entered in menu 2, but receive the message, “Save successful, but Failed to initialize ISDN; Press ESC to exit”. 1. Check the error log (in menu 24.3.1), you should see a log entry for the ISDN initialization failure in the format, “ISDN init failed. code...”. Note the code number, n. 2. If the code is 1, the ISDN link is not up.
Problems with the LAN Interface Can’t PING any station on the LAN 1. Check the LAN LED on the front panel of your Prestige. If it is on, then the link is up. If it is off, then check the cables connecting your Prestige to your LAN. 2. The type of Ethernet interface that you have configured in menu 3.1. Verify that you are using the same (AUI or 10BaseT) as configured in this menu. 3. Verify with your network administrator that the IP address and the IP subnet mask configured in menu 3.
nothing in the log, the call may have been dropped by the remote device that you dialed in to. Make sure that the configuration parameters between these two devices are consistent. Problems Connecting to a Remote User 1. First verify that you have configured the authentication parameters in menu 13. These would be CLID Authen, Recv. Authen, and Mutual Authen. 2. If the Remote Dial-in User is negotiating IP, verify that the IP address is supplied correctly in menu 13.
ISDN Switch Types The following table summarizes the different type of switch types supported by the Prestige and some related information on the switch types (number of phone numbers and SPID numbers). It should be noted that the information in this table is for the common case and is recommended for those cases. Exceptions still exist to these figures. You can locate the provisioning information for the appropriate North American switch type in the next sections.
