Getting to Know Your Prestige
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Prestige.
1.1 Prestige Internet Security Gateway Overview
The Prestige is the ideal secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and LAN’s.
By integrating NAT, firewall, media bandwidth management and VPN capability, ZyXEL’s
Prestige is a complete security solution that protects your Intranet and efficiently manages data
traffic on your network. The built-in print server allows computers on the LAN to share a USB
printer eliminating the need to assign a dedicated computer as a print server or have a
standalone print server device.
The embedded web configurator is easy to operate.
1.2 Prestige Features
The following sections describe Prestige features.
1.2.1 Physical Features
1.2.1.1 USB Port
The Prestige uses a USB 1.1 port to connect to a printer with a USB interface. Printers that use
USB 1.0 are also compatible. Computers on the LAN use the printer by sending print requests
to the print server in the Prestige.
1.2.1.2 OTIST Button (P-335WT only)
Use this button to activate OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology). OTIST
allows your Prestige to assign wireless clients the Prestige’s SSID and static WEP or WPA-
PSK encryption settings. The wireless client must also support OTIST and have OTIST
enabled.
1.2.1.3 10/100M Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface(s)
This auto-negotiation feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions
and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
