43 Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your Prestige
Note: The standard your ISP supports determines the maximum upstream and
downstream speeds attainable. Actual speeds attained also depend on the
distance from your ISP, line quality, etc.
The Prestige is also a complete security solution with TMSS, a robust firewall, content
filtering and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) for wireless network security.
1.1.1 Features of the Prestige
The following sections describe the features of the Prestige.
Note: See the product specifications in the appendix for detailed features and
standards support.
Built-in Switch
The 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet ports allow 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. The ports are also auto-crossover (MDI/MDI-X) meaning they
automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.
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
the ADSL service you subscribed to, distance from your ISP, line quality, etc.
Zero Configuration Internet Access
Once you connect and turn on the Prestige, it automatically detects the Internet connection
settings (such as the VCI/VPI numbers and the encapsulation method) from the ISP and makes
the necessary configuration changes. In cases where additional account information (such as
an Internet account user name and password) is required or the Prestige cannot connect to the
ISP, you will be redirected to web screen(s) for information input or troubleshooting.
Any IP
The Any IP feature allows a computer to access the Internet and the Prestige without changing
the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, when the IP
addresses of the computer and the Prestige are not in the same subnet.
