1-2 Getting to know your Prestige
AUI Interface (P100 only)
The Prestige 100 has an additional AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) or 10 Base-5 port in addition
to a 10 Base-T port. The AUI allows you to connect the Prestige to a thicknet cable. If you have
thinnet cable (10 Base-2) you need an external transceiver to connect the Prestige to the cable.
Dial-On-Demand
The Dial-On-Demand feature allows the Prestige to automatically place a call to a remote
gateway based on the triggering packet’s destination without user intervention.
PPP Multilink
The Prestige can bundle multiple links in a single connection using PPP Multilink Protocol (MP).
The number of links can be either statically configured or dynamically managed based on traffic
demand.
Bandwidth-On-Demand
The Prestige dynamically allocates bandwidth by dialing and dropping connections according to
traffic demand.
Full Network Management
Accessing SMT (System Management Terminal) through telnet connection.
Web-based PWC (Prestige Web Configurator).

CDR (Call Detail Record) to help to analyze and manage the telephone bill.
Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
Unix syslog facility support.
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.
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the workstations on your LAN to obtain
the configuration from the Prestige.
