Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge • The Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge may be referred to as the P645M or the Prestige in this user’s guide. The following section offers some background information on DSL. Skip to Chapter 1 if you wish to begin working with your Prestige right away.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge What Is DSL? DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) technology enhances the data capacity of the existing twisted-pair wire that runs between the local telephone company switching offices and most homes and offices. While the wire itself can handle higher frequencies, the telephone switching equipment is designed to cut off signals above 4,000 Hz to filter noise off the voice line, but now everybody is searching for ways to get more bandwidth to improve access to the Web - hence DSL technologies.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Prestige This chapter describes the key features and applications of your ADSL Internet Access Bridge Prestige 645M ADSL Internet Access Bridge Overview Your Prestige integrates a high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface and a high-speed ADSL port into a single package.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge ♦ PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) link layer protocol. Networking Compatibility Your Prestige is compatible with the major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) providers, making configuration as simple as possible for you. Multiplexing The P645M supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge The Prestige is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. Your Prestige supports the TCP/IP protocol, which the Internet uses exclusively. It is compatible with all major ADSL DSLAM providers. A DSLAM is a rack of ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into a backbone network interface/connection (e.g., T1, OC3, DS3, ATM or Frame Relay).
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge Chapter 2 Hardware Installation & Initial Setup This chapter describes the physical features and cable connections of the Prestige and how to access and use the SMT interface for configuration Front Panel LEDs of the Prestige...
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge Table 2-1 Front Panel LED Description COLOR STATUS DESCRIPTION LAN 100M Orange The Prestige has a successful 100Mb Ethernet connection. Blinking The Prestige is receiving or sending data. No device is connected at 100Mb. ADSL Green The Prestige is linked successfully to a DSLAM.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge 2.2.2 One Auto-sensing, Auto-negotiating LAN 10/100M Port Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T networks use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable with RJ-45 that look like a bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. The LAN port is auto-sensing, so you may use a crossover or a straight- through Ethernet cable to connect your Prestige to a computer or an external hub.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge Additional Installation Requirements A computer must have a properly installed and enabled Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T NIC. A computer equipped with a web browser (with JavaScript enabled) and/or Telnet. Connecting the POTS Splitter This is for the Prestige that follows the Full Rate (G.dmt) standard only. One major difference between ADSL and dial-up modems is the optional telephone splitter.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge Figure 2-3 Connecting a POTS Splitter Step 1. Connect the side labeled “Phone” to your telephone. Step 2. Connect the side labeled “Modem” to your Prestige. Step 3. Connect the side labeled “Line” to the telephone wall jack.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge Figure 2-4 Connecting the Microfilter Turning On Your Prestige At this point, you should have connected the ADSL line, the Ethernet port and the power port to the appropriate devices or lines. Push in the power button (located on the back of your Prestige) to turn on your Prestige.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge For your first login, enter the default password “1234”. As you type the password, the screen displays an asterisk “*” for each character you type. Please note that if there is no activity for longer than five minutes after you log in, your Prestige will automatically log you out.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge Figure 2-6 SMT Menu Overview Navigating the SMT Interface The SMT (System Management Terminal) is the interface that you use to configure your Prestige. Several operations that you should be familiar with before you attempt to modify the configuration are listed in the following table.

Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge Chapter 3 Internet Access This chapter shows you how to configure the LAN as well as the WAN of your Prestige for Internet access Internet Access Overview This section provides information on LANs, WANs, TCP/IP parameters and configuring your prestige for Internet access.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge IP Address and Subnet Mask Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, the machines on a LAN also share one common network number. Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge 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.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge VPI & VCI Be sure to use the correct Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) numbers supplied by your telephone company. The valid range for the VPI is 1 to 255 and for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (1 to 32 is reserved for local management of ATM traffic).
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge IP Address Assignment A static IP is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP is not fixed. The ISP assigns you a different one each time. 3.9.1 Using PPP Encapsulation If you have a dynamic IP, then the IP Address field is not applicable (N/A). If you have a static IP, then you only need to fill in the IP Address field.

Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge Chapter 4 Remote Node Configuration This chapter is about parameters that are protocol independent. The protocol-dependent configuration will be covered in subsequent chapters. Remote Node Overview 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.
Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge Scene 2. One VC, One Protocol (IP) Selecting RFC-1483 encapsulation with VC-based multiplexing requires the least amount of overhead (0 octets). However, if there is a potential need for multiple protocol support in the future, it may be safer to select PPPoA encapsulation instead of RFC-1483, so you don’t need to reconfigure when the time comes.
