Getting To Know Your Prestige
This chapter describes the key features and applications of your Prestige
.
1.1 Prestige 652 ADSL Security Router
Your Prestige integrates a high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface and a high-speed ADSL
port into a single package. The Prestige is ideal for high-speed Internet browsing and making LAN-to-LAN
connections to remote networks.
The Prestige provides not only ease of installation and high-speed Internet access, but also a complete
security solution. The Prestige 652 combines an ADSL router with a robust firewall and VPN capability.
The web browser-based Graphical User Interface provides easy management and is totally independent of
the operating system platform you use.
1.2 Features
Your Prestige is packed with a number of features that give it the flexibility to provide a complete
networking solution for almost any user.
z High Speed Internet Access
Your Prestige can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream transmission rates
of 832 Kbps. Your Prestige also supports rate management; rate management allows ADSL subscribers to
select an Internet access speed that best suits their needs and budgets.
z IPSec VPN Capability
Establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect with business partners and branch offices using data
encryption and the Internet to provide secure communications without the expense of leased site-to-site
lines. The Prestige’s VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is fully interoperable with other IPSec-based
VPN products.
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.
