1.3 Applications for the Prestige
Here are some example uses for which the Prestige is well suited.
1.3.1 Internet Access
The Prestige is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. Your Prestige supports the TCP/IP protocol,
which the Internet uses exclusively. It is compatible with all major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexer) providers. A DSLAM is a rack of ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into a
backbone network interface/connection (for example, T1, OC3, DS3, ATM or Frame Relay). Think of it as
the equivalent of a modem rack for ADSL. In addition, for the Prestige 652H/HW, you can insert an optional
wireless PCMICA card into the Prestige and allow wireless clients access to your network resources. A
typical Internet access application is shown below.
