Getting To Know Your Prestige 1-3
Four-Port Switch
A combination of switch and router makes your Prestige a cost-effective and viable network solution. You
can connect up to four computers to the LAN ports on you Prestige without the cost of a hub.
High Speed Internet Access
Your Prestige ADSL router can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream
transmission rates of 832 Kbps. Prestige with ADSL over POTS also supports rate management.
IEEE 802.11b 11Mbps Wireless LAN
The 11 Mbps wireless LAN provides mobility and a fast network environment for small and home offices.
Computers with wireless LAN Ethernet adapters can connect to the local area network without any wiring
efforts and enjoy reliable high-speed connectivity. This feature is not available on all models.
PPPoE Support (RFC2516)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your ISP to use their
existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the
Prestige is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE
thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE clients on individual computers.
IEEE 802.1x Network Security
The Prestige supports the IEEE 802.1x standard to enhance user authentication. Use the built-in user profile
database to authenticate up to 32 users using MD5 encryption. Use an EAP-compatible RADIUS (RFC2138,
2139 - Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server to authenticate a limitless number of users using
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). EAP is an authentication protocol that supports multiple types of
authentication.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within one
network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP address known
within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).
Traffic Redirect
Traffic Redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway on the LAN when the Prestige cannot connect to
the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary backup when your regular WAN connection fails.
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
