providers, making configuration as simple as possible for you.
Multiplexing
The P645M supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
Encapsulation
The Prestige 645M supports PPP (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5) and RFC 1483
encapsulation over ATM.
Full Network Management

SMT (System Management Terminal) through a telnet connection.
PAP and CHAP Security
The Prestige supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake

Reset Button
The Prestige comes with a reset button built into the rear panel. Use this button to restore the factory default
password to 1234, IP address to 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
