Prestige 1400 WAN Router with Integrated Ethernet Switch
Preface xvii
Preface
Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 1400 WAN Router with Integrated Ethernet Switch.
This preface introduces you to your router and discusses the organization and conventions of this user’s guide. It
also provides information on other related documentation.
About the Prestige
Coupled with the local loop switches, e.g., phoneline networking/ADSL/VDSL-to-Ethernet switches, from ZyXEL,
the Prestige 1400 is the ideal WAN router for large buildings and campuses. It also allows you to connect local
application servers such as web, e-mail, video, gaming, building automation servers and so on, without an external
switch. Moreover, the virtual LAN (VLAN) capability isolates each port from one another, thereby eliminating the
security problems inherent in broadcast media such as Ethernet. In a typical setup, you can connect up to 14 local
loop switches to the Prestige, making it the premier WAN router of choice for both business and residential use.
Used alone without the local loop switches, the P1400 is equally at home for Internet café, campus networks, inter-
office connectivity and other applications.
Configuring your Prestige
You can use the System Management Terminal (SMT) interface or the CLI (Command Line Interpreter) commands
to configure your Prestige. The SMT is a menu-driven interface that you can access from either a VT100
compatible terminal or a terminal emulation program on a computer via the console port or telnet. Use of CLI/CI
commands are recommended only for advanced users.
About this Guide
This user's guide covers all operations of the Prestige 1400 and shows you how to get the best out of the multiple
advanced features of your Prestige router. It is designed to help you to configure the Prestige correctly for various
applications using the SMT interface via the console port or telnet. For detailed CI commands please refer to the
section Related Documentation.
Syntax Conventions
“Enter” means for you to type one or more characters and press the carriage return. “Select” or “Choose” means
for you to select one from the predefined choices.
The SMT menu titles and labels are in Bold Times font. The choices of a menu item are in Bold Arial font. A
single keystroke is in Arial font and enclosed in square brackets, for instance, [ENTER] means the Enter, or
carriage return, key; [ESC] means the Escape key.
For brevity’s sake, we will use “e.g.” as a shorthand for “for instance”, and “i.e.” as a shorthand for “that is” or “in
other words” throughout this manual.
The Prestige 1400 will also be referred to as the Prestige or the P1400 in this manual.

Support Notes
More detailed information about the Prestige and examples of its use can be found in the Support Notes accessible
through the ZyXEL web pages at zyxel.com.
ZyXEL Web Page and FTP Server Site
You can access release notes as well as firmware upgrades at ZyXEL web and FTP sites. Refer to the Customer
Support page in this User’s Guide for more information.

Getting to Know Your Prestige 1-1
Chapter 1
Getting to Know Your Prestige
This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of your Prestige.
Coupled with the local loop switches, e.g., phoneline networking/ADSL/VDSL-to-Ethernet switches, from ZyXEL,
the Prestige is the ideal WAN router for large buildings and campuses. It also allows you to connect local
application servers such as web, e-mail, video, gaming, building automation servers and so on, without an external

loop switches to the Prestige, making it the premier WAN router of choice for both business and residential use.
Used alone without the local loop switches, the P1400 is equally at home for Internet café, campus networks, inter-
office connectivity and other applications
1.1 Overview of the Prestige 1400
Integrated Switch
The 16-port auto-negotiating 10/100MB Fast Ethernet switch is equipped with VLAN (Virtual LAN) security
feature. You can connect up to 15 devices to this switch (ports 1 to 15).
VLAN Configuration Port
This port (marked VLAN CONF.) allows you to access the VLAN configuration using either a VT100 compatible
terminal or a terminal emulation program and the enclosed cable.
Auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Interface
This 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating Fast Ethernet interface connects the routing module to the integrated switch
(port16).
Console Port
The console port is for out-of-band local management.
WAN Interface
!One FlexWAN port.
Frame Relay Support
Frame relay support allows the Prestige to connect to a frame relay network.
Internet Protocols
!IP routing
!IP Policy Routing - IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the default routing
behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the network administrator.
!IP packet filtering, including network level and device level filtering
!RIP-1 and RIP-2 - (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to exchange
routing information with other routers.

1-2 Getting to Know Your Prestige
!Static IP Route - Static routes tell a router routing information that it cannot learn automatically through
other means. This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is beyond the
one that is directly connected to a remote node.
!IP Multicast - Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in two ways - unicast or broadcast. Multicast is a
third way to deliver IP packets to a group of hosts. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the
protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC 2236). Both versions 1
and 2 are supported by the Prestige.
!DHCP - The Prestige's DHCP server capability (RFC 2131) allows you to automatically assign TCP/IP
settings to a workstation on your LAN.
!NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) allows multiple stations to share one IP address to
conserve public IP addresses.
PPP Support
!PPP for WAN connection
Network Management
!Menu driven SMT (System Management Terminal) management
!SNMP manageable
!Local SMT session via console port
!Remote SMT session via Telnet
Security
!CHAP, PAP authentication
!Password protected SMT
!LAN, WAN filters to block unwanted incoming and outgoing packets.
Time and Date Setting
The Prestige has a battery powered real time clock. Set the time and date of your Prestige in Menu 24.9. Real time
is then displayed in the Prestige error logs.
Logging and Tracing
!Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
!Unix syslog facility support.
Remote Firmware Upgrades
!Console, Telnet, TFTP and FTP Firmware Upgrades
Internet Access Sharing
The Prestige supports Single User Account (SUA)/Network Address Translation (NAT) which enables multiple
subscribers to access the Internet using a single IP address. The ZyXEL Network Operating System (ZyNOS)
implementation of SUA/NAT supports NetMeeting, CuSeeMe, ICQ and other multimedia applications.
1.2 Example Internet Access Application
The following diagram depicts a typical application for the P1400 in a large residential building that leverages the
existing building phone line wiring using phoneline networking technology to provide economical Internet access
to tenants.
