Prestige 128MH PSTN Router/Hub

By using the PPP/MP (Point-to-Point Protocol/Multilink Protocol), your Prestige 128MH can bundle three WAN ports connected to three different internal and external modems in order to use the maximum available bandwidth. The Prestige 128MH supports BAP (Bandwidth Allocation Protocol) and BACP (Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol) to manage the number of links in multilink bundle.

Full Network Management

Your Prestige 128MH supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and allows menu-driven network management via an RS-232 or Telnet connection. Your Prestige is also equipped with a Call Detail Record to help analyze and manage your telephone bill.

RADIUS

The RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) feature allows you to use an external and central Unix-based server to support thousands of users.

PAP and CHAP Security

The Prestige supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol). With PAP authentication enabled, the user sends the name and password in plain text. Generally, CHAP authentication is more secure since the password is scrambled prior to transmission. However, PAP is readily available on more platforms.

DHCP Support

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows you to dynamically and automatically assign IP address settings to hosts on your network.

Call Control

Your Prestige provides budget management for outgoing calls and maintains a blacklist for unreachable phone numbers in order to save you the expense of unnecessary charges.
