1-2 Getting to Know Your Prestige
1.2.2 Firmware Features
Full Network Management
Your Prestige offers you a variety of options for network management. It supports password protected local
and remote network management via the console port or a telnet connection using SMT (System
Management Interface). Your Prestige includes an intuitive web configurator that makes setup and
configuration easy. Included with the web configurator is embedded help designed to assist you during
setup/configuration. It also supports FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server for remote management, TFTP
(Trivial FTP), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and CI (Command Interpreter) mode.
Firewall
The Prestige is a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service) protection. By default, when the
firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is blocked unless it is initiated from
the LAN. The Prestige firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real time
alerts, NETBIOS packet filtering, reports and logs.
Content Filtering
The Prestige can block web features such as ActiveX controls, Java applets and cookies, as well as disable
web proxies. The Prestige can also block specific URLs by using the keyword feature.
Packet Filtering
Packet filtering blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the Prestige and other UPnP enabled devices can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.
Traffic Redirect
Traffic Redirect is used to sustain the Internet connection. The Prestige detects if the connectivity has been
lost and will forward the outgoing traffic to another specified gateway.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) allows the translation of an Internet Protocol
address used within one network to a different IP address known within another network. The Prestige can
now map multiple global IP addresses to local IP addresses of clients or servers.
Port Forwarding
Use this feature to forward incoming service requests to a server on your local network. You may enter a
single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired
server.
