31 Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your Prestige

High Speed Internet Access

Your Prestige ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ router can support downstream transmission rates of

up to 24Mbps and upstream transmission rates of 3.5Mbps. Actual speeds attained depend on

ISP DSLAM environment.

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.

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 (MDI/MDI-X) 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Interface(s)

These interfaces automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.

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. You must
