  • Page 74: Tcp/Ip Filter Rule

    There are two categories of filter rules, Device Filter (Generic) rules and Protocol Filter (TCP/IP) rules. Device 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 NAT/SUA (Network Address Translation/Single User Account) 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.

    6.3.3 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.

  • Page 105: Schedule Setup

    Prestige 201 ISDN Access Router The call scheduling feature allows the Prestige to manage a remote node automatically. 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 set in Menu 11 - Remote Node Setup, and configure each schedule in Menu 26 - Schedule Setup.

  • Page 106: Figure 9-2 Schedule Set Setup

    To setup a schedule set select the schedule set you want to setup from Menu 26 (no. 1-12) and press [Enter]. You will enter Menu 26.1 - Schedule Set Setup as shown next. The remote node configured with the schedule set will be Forced On, Forced Down, Enable Dial-On- Demand, or Disable Dial-On-Demand at specified date and time.
  • Page 107 Prestige 201 ISDN Access Router Forced On During this period, the P201 will dial the remote node and will maintain the connection for the time period specified in the field Duration. Forced Down During this period, the P201 will close the connection to the remote node. If the remote node is already connected, then it will be dropped.

  • Page 109: Backup, Restore And Upload

    Prestige 201 ISDN Access Router You can perform the backup, restore and upload through the console port, TFTP or FTP. Any serial communications program should work fine; however, you must use XMODEM protocol to perform the download/upload. 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.

  • Page 110: Back Up Using Ftp

    Step 4. Enter where you want to place the rom configuration file on your computer, give it a suitable name, e.g.p1600.rom, and make sure you choose the X-Modem Protocol. Then press “Receive”. Step 5. After a successful backup you will see the following screen. Press any key to return to the SMT menu ** Backup Configuration completed.
  • Page 111 Prestige 201 ISDN Access Router 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.

  • Page 112: Restore Configuration

    Example Using Walusoft TFTP Client 10.2 Restore Configuration Option 6 from Menu 24 – System Maintenance allows you to restore the current workstation backup configuration to your Prestige. 10.2.1 Restore using the Console Port You can restore the configuration 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).

  • Page 113: Figure 10-5 Menu 24.6 -Restore Configuration Using The Console Port

    Prestige 201 ISDN Access Router Please note that the system reboots automatically after the file transfer process is complete. FTP or TFTP are the preferred methods for restoring your current workstation configuration to your Prestige since FTP or TFTP is faster. Please note that the system reboots automatically after the file transfer process is complete.

  • Page 114: Restore Using Ftp

    10.2.2 Restore using FTP Even though FTP should work over WAN as well, it is not recommended. To transfer your current workstation configuration to your Prestige, follow the procedure below: Step 1. Launch the FTP client on your workstation. Step 2. Type open and the IP address of your Prestige.
