What network interface does the Prestige support?

The Prestige supports 10/100M Ethernet to connect to the computer and 10/100M Ethernet to connect to the external cable or ADSL modem.

What can we do with Prestige?

Browse the World Wide Web (WWW), send and receive individual e-mail, and download software. These are just a few of many benefits you can enjoy when you put the whole office on-line with the Prestige Internet Access Sharing Router.

Does Prestige support dynamic IP addressing?

The Prestige supports either a static or dynamic IP address from ISP.

What is the difference between the internal IP and the real IP from my ISP?

Internal IPs is sometimes referred to as virtual IPs. They are a group of up to 255 IPs that are used and recognized internally on the local area network. They are not intended to be recognized on the Internet. The real IP from ISP, instead, can be recognized or pinged by another real IP. The Prestige Internet Access Sharing Router works like an intelligent router that route between the virtual IP and the real IP.

How does e-mail work through the Prestige?

It depends on what kind of IP you have: Static or Dynamic. If your company has a domain name, it means that you have a static IP address. Suppose your company's e-mail address is xxx@mycompany.com. Joe and Debbie will be able to send e-mail through Prestige Internet Access Sharing Router using jane@mycompany.com and debbie@mycompany.com respectively as their e-mail addresses. They will be able to retrieve their individual private and secure e-mail, if they have been assigned the proper access right.

If your company does not have a domain name, it means that your ISP provides you with a dynamic IP address.

Suppose your company's e-mail address is mycompany@ispname.com. Jane and John will be able to send e-mail through Prestige Internet Access Sharing Router using "jane"<mycompany@ispname.com> and "john"<mycompany@ispname.com> respectively as their e-mail addresses. Again, they will be able to retrieve their individual private and secured e-mail, if they have been assigned the proper access right.
