1.4 Internet Access Applications for Prestige 941
Prestige 941 Cable Modem is basicly a bridge device that will forward user's traffic between LAN and
CMTS. According to DOCSIS specification, the cable modem can be configured to serve specific CPEs
(Customer Premise Equipments) by provisioning their MAC addresses. Only the traffic to/from these CPE
will be forwarded by Prestige 941. The others will be filtered.
The Prestige 941 can also be configured to serve certain number of CPEs. It will learn the MAC addresses
from the LAN traffic. The Prestige will not forget this learnt address unless you reboot th e Prestige 941.
When the number of learnt MAC addresses exceed the configured limitation, the Prestige 941 will stop
learning and serve only those learnt MAC addresses.
Before installing your Prestige 941, do contact your cable operator to provide them your PC's MAC address
or tell them how many PC will be connected.
