Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Prestige 34
1.2.2.7 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.
1.2.2.8 Call Scheduling
Configure call time periods to restrict and allow access for users on remote nodes.
1.2.2.9 PPPoE
PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with an Internet modem to achieve access to high-
speed data networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.
1.2.2.10 PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of
data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a
TCP/IP-based network.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public
networks, such as the Internet. The Prestige supports one PPTP server connection at any given
time.
1.2.2.11 Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) support, you can have a static hostname alias for
a dynamic IP address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on
the Internet. You must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
1.2.2.12 IP Multicast
Deliver IP packets to a specific group of hosts using IP multicast. IGMP (Internet Group
Management Protocol) is the protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is
version 2 (see RFC 2236); the Prestige supports both versions 1 and 2.
1.2.2.13 IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same
Ethernet interface. The Prestige supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical
Ethernet LAN interface with the Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
