Prestige 2304 Support Notes

What is the difference between the 'Standard' and 'RoadRunner' service?

The US Road Runner service requires the user to "log in" to the service before it can send any packets to the outside network. This is apparently implemented in the TAS (Toshiba Authentication System) with a packet filtering firewall in the upstream direction. Before login, one can send ICMP packets (e.g., ping) to the outside Internet, but nearly all other upstream TCP and UDP packets are blocked. The user can only speak to the local DNS/login server. Downstream packets do not appear to be filtered or blocked at any time.

While Standard service means the cable services which have no login requirement. Prestige supports both Road Runner & Standard services in menu 4 for connecting to cable ISPs.

Is it possible to access a server running behind SUA from the outside Internet? If possible, how?

Yes, it is possible because Prestige delivers the packet to the local server by looking up to a SUA server table. Therefore, to make a local server accessible to the outside users, the port number and the inside IP address of the server must be configured in Menu 15 - SUA Server Setup.

What DHCP capability does the Prestige support?

The Prestige supports DHCP client on the WAN port and DHCP server on the LAN port. The Prestige's DHCP client allows it to get the Internet IP address from ISP automatically. The Prestige's DHCP server allows it to automatically assign IP and DNS addresses to the clients on the local LAN.

How do I used the reset button, more over what field of parameter will be reset by reset button?

You can used a sharp pointed object insert it into the little reset hole beside the power connector. Press down the reset button and hold down for approx 5 second, the unit will be reset. When the reset button is pressed the devices all parameter will be reset back to factory default include, password, and IP address.

The default IP address is 192.168.1.1, Password 1234.

What network interface does the new Prestige series support?

The new Prestige series support auto MDX/MDIX 10/100M Ethernet LAN/WAN port to connect to the computer on LAN and 10/100M Ethernet to connect to the external cable or ADSL modem on WAN.
