Getting To Know Your Prestige
1-3
Traffic Redirect
Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the Prestige cannot connect to the Internet,
thus acting as an auxiliary if your regular WAN connection fails.
Auxiliary Port
The auxiliary port can be used in reserve as a traditional dial-up connection when/if ever the broadband
connection to the WAN port fails. The Prestige uses the same port (labeled
CON/AUX
) for console
management and for an auxiliary WAN backup (push the
CON/AUX
switch to
CON
or
AUX
).
Bandwidth Management
Bandwidth management allows you to allocate network resources according to defined policies. This policy-
based bandwidth allocation helps your network to better handle real-time applications such as Voice-over-IP
(VoIP).
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the Prestige and other UPnP enabled devices can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.
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.
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).
10/100M Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface(s)
This auto-negotiation feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust
appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either
half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
Auto-crossover 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Interface(s)
These interfaces automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.
