42 Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your Prestige
1.1.1 Features of the Prestige
The following sections describe the features of the Prestige.
High Speed Internet Access
Your Prestige ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ router can support downstream transmission rates of
up to 24Mbps and upstream transmission rates of 1 Mbps. Actual speeds attained depend on
ISP DSLAM environment.
Zero Configuration Internet Access
Once you connect and turn on the Prestige, it automatically detects the Internet connection
settings (such as the VCI/VPI numbers and the encapsulation method) from the ISP and makes
the necessary configuration changes. In cases where additional account information (such as
an Internet account user name and password) is required or the Prestige cannot connect to the
ISP, you will be redirected to web screen(s) for information input or troubleshooting.
Any IP
The Any IP feature allows a computer to access the Internet and the Prestige without changing
the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, when the IP
addresses of the computer and the Prestige are not in the same subnet.
Auto-provisioning
Your voice service provider can automatically update your Prestige’s configuration via an
auto-provisioning server.
Auto Firmware Upgrade
The Prestige gives you the option to upgrade to a newer firmware version if it finds one during
auto-provisioning. Your voice service provider must have an auto-provisioning server and a
server set up with firmware in order for this feature to work.
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, reports and logs.
Note: You can configure most features of the Prestige via SMT but we recommend
you configure the firewall and content filters using the web configurator.
