5.3.1 Resetting the Prestige

If you forget your password or cannot access the SMT menu, you will need to reload the factory-default

configuration file or use the

RESET

button the back of the Prestige. Uploading this configuration file

replaces the current configuration file with the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will

lose all configurations that you had previously and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default

of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set to none. The password will be reset

to “1234”, also.

Uploading a Configuration File Via Console Port

Turn off the Prestige, begin a terminal emulation software session and 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.

Step 1.

Enter "y" at the prompt below to go into debug mode.

Step 2.

Enter "atlc" after "Enter Debug Mode" message.

Step 3.

Wait for "Starting XMODEM upload" message before activating Xmodem upload on your

terminal. This is an example Xmodem configuration upload using HyperTerminal. You should

already have downloaded the correct file from your nearest ZyXEL FTP site.

Step 4.

Click

Transfer

, then

Send File

to display the following screen.

Figure 5-5 Example Xmodem Upload

Step 5.

After successful firmware upload, enter "atgo" to restart the router.

Type the configuration file’s

location, or click

Browse

to

search for it.

Choose the

Xmodem

protocol.

Then click

Send

.

Make sure the

PWR

led is on (not blinking) when you begin this procedure.

Step 1.

Press the

RESET

button for ten seconds, then release it. If the

PWR

LED begins to blink,

the defaults have been restored and the Prestige restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.

Step 2.

Turn the Prestige off.

Step 3.

While pressing the

RESET

button, turn the Prestige on.

Step 4.

Continue to hold the

RESET

button. The

PWR

quickly after about 10 or 15 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and

the Prestige is now restarting.

5.4.1 Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) 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

or other services).

You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a DNS-like address (for

example,

myhost.dhs.org

, where

myhost

is a name of your choice) which will never change instead of using

an 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 service provider. The Dynamic DNS service

provider will give you a password or key. The Prestige supports www.dyndns.org. You can apply to this

service provider 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.
