Prestige 310 Broadband Sharing Gateway
1-2 Getting to Know Your Prestige
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (workstations) to obtain the
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP server
capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS
servers to Windows 9X, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client. The Prestige can now
also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real
DHCP server to the clients.
Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS 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.
If you want to utilize this service, you must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS client.
PPPoE Support
PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed data
networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.
PPTP Support
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 TCP/IP-based networks
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the
Internet.
IP Alias
The ability to partition physical network into logical network over the same Ethernet interface is referred to
as IP Alias functionality.
Call Scheduling
The Call Scheduling feature allows you to manage a remote node. You can dictate when a remote node
should be called and for how long.
Call Control
The Prestige provides budget management for outgoing calls and chronicles incoming and outgoing calls.
Full Network Management
Your Prestige offers you a variety of options for network management. It supports password protected local
and remote network management via the console port or a telnet connection using SMT (System
Management Interface). It also supports FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server for remote management, TFTP
(Trivial FTP), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and CI (Command Interpreter) mode.
Time and Date Setting
This new feature (Menu 24.10) allows you to get the current time and date from an external server when you
power up your Prestige. The real time is then displayed in the Prestige Menu 24.1- System Status and error
logs. If you do not choose a time service protocol that your timeserver will send when the Prestige powers up
