Getting to know your Prestige 1-3
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a management protocol for collecting
information from devices on the network. When TCP/IP is configured in your Prestige, the SNMP
agent functionality allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the
network.
SMT
The System Management Terminal (SMT) is a menu-driven interface to configure your Prestige
using either console port (through RS232 cable) connection or telnet (through LAN) connection.
You can access the SMT from either a VT100 compatible terminal or a terminal emulation
program on a PC.
Logging and Tracing
♦
CDR (Call Detail Record) for assistance in analyzing and managing the telephone bill.
♦
Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
♦
UNIX syslog facility support.
RADIUS Support
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is the most popular protocol for user
authentication on dial-up lines. RADIUS support allows you to use an external server for unlimited
number of users and helps in the centralized management of the users database.
PAP and CHAP Security
The Prestige supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP; however, PAP is readily available on
more platforms.
CLID Support
CLID (Calling Line Identification) allows the Prestige to authenticate the caller before a call is
answered, thus saving the cost of a connection. The Prestige uses the caller ID in call setup
message to match against the CLID in database. (Note: The telephone company must support
Caller ID for CLID authentication to work on the Prestige.)
