1-4 Getting To Know Your Prestige
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 register for this
service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support
Your Prestige supports up to 8 PVC’s.
