Getting to know your Prestige 1-3
10/100M Auto-negotiation Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface
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.
Protocols Supported
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network layer protocol.
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) link layer protocol.
SUA™ (Single User Account) and NAT (Network Address Translation).
Multiple Protocol Support
♦ Novel IPX (Internetwork Packet eXchange) network layer protocol.
♦ Transparently bridging for unsupported network layer protocols.
Remote Management Control
Remote management control allows you to manage Telnet, Web and FTP services. You can customize the
service port, access interface, and the secured client IP address to enhance security and flexibility.
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) to obtain the
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP server
capability enabled by default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCP
clients. The Prestige can now also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address
assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.
Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support
Your Prestige supports up to 8 PVC’s.
Networking Compatibility
Your Prestige is compatible with the major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer)
providers, making configuration as simple as possible for you.
