Introducing the SMT and General Setup
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
.

Procedure To Use The RESET Button
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
LED will begin to blink and flicker very
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.
