Prestige 782R G.SHDSL Router
1-2 Getting to Know Your Router
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 interface with the
Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
IP Policy Routing
IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter the
packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the network administrator.
10/100MB Auto-negotiation Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface
This auto-negotiation feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust
appropriately, providing a faster data transfer on the Ethernet network as required. It enables fast data
transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your
Ethernet network.
Protocols Supported
• TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network layer protocol.
• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) link layer protocol.
• SUA™ (Single User Account) and NAT (Network Address Translation).
Multiple Protocol Support
• Novell IPX (Internetwork Packet eXchange) network layer protocol.
• Transparent bridging for unsupported network layer protocols.
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 available on more platforms.
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) 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 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.
Data Compression
Your Prestige incorporates Stac LZS data compression ratios of up to 4:1 to speed up data transfer. Stac is
the de facto standard of data compression over PPP links.
