Getting to Know Your Prestige

This chapter covers the key features and main applications of your router.

1.1Introducing the Prestige 202H

The Prestige 202H is a high-performance router that offers a complete Internet Access solution.

By integrating NAT, firewall, VPN capability and a four-port switch, the Prestige 202H is a complete security solution that protects your Intranet and efficiently manages data traffic on your network.

The embedded web configurator is easy to operate and totally independent of your operating system platform. You can also manage the router via the SMT (System Management Terminal), a menu-driven interface that you can access from either a terminal emulator or telnet.

1.2Features

This section describes the router’s key features.

IPSec VPN Capability

Establish Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnels to connect (home) office computers to your company network using data encryption and the Internet; thus providing secure communications without the expense of leased site-to-site lines. The router’s VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is fully interoperable with other IPSec-based VPN products.

Firewall

The Prestige has a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service) protection. By default, when the firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is blocked unless it is initiated from the LAN. The Prestige firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and protection, real time alerts, reports and logs.

4-Port Switch

A combination of switch and router makes your router a cost-effective and viable network solution. You can connect up to four computers to the router without the cost of a hub. Use a hub to add more than four computers to your LAN.
