28 Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Prestige
Reset Button
The Prestige reset button is built into the rear panel. Use this button to restore the factory
default password to 1234; IP address to 192.168.1.1, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and DHCP
server enabled with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting at 192.168.1.33.
1.2.2 Non-Physical Features
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.
Packet Filtering
The packet filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.
Time and Date
The Prestige allows you to get the current time and date from an external server when you turn
on your Prestige. You can also set the time manually.
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
PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with an Internet modem to achieve access to high-
speed data networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.
PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of
data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a
TCP/IP-based network.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public
networks, such as the Internet. The Prestige supports one PPTP server connection at any given
time.
