Prestige 128MH PSTN Router/Hub

Multiprotocol/Multiport LAN-to-LAN Connection

Your Prestige can dial to or answer calls from another remote access router connected to a different network. The Prestige supports TCP/IP, Novell IPX, and has the capability to bridge any Ethernet protocol. Your Prestige can also bundle several WAN ports in one LAN-to-LAN connection for greater bandwidth. A typical LAN-to-LAN application for your Prestige 128MH is to connect the Corporate Office LAN of your company with the Branch Office, as shown in Figure 1-4.
