Prestige 2602HW Series User’s Guide

High Speed Internet Access

Your Prestige ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ router can support downstream transmission rates of up to 24Mbps and upstream transmission rates of 3.5Mbps. Actual speeds attained depend on ISP DSLAM environment.

Zero Configuration Internet Access

Once you connect and turn on the Prestige, it automatically detects the Internet connection settings (such as the VCI/VPI numbers and the encapsulation method) from the ISP and makes the necessary configuration changes. In cases where additional account information (such as an Internet account user name and password) is required or the Prestige cannot connect to the ISP, you will be redirected to web screen(s) for information input or troubleshooting.

Any IP

The Any IP feature allows a computer to access the Internet and the Prestige without changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, when the IP addresses of the computer and the Prestige are not in the same subnet.

Firewall

The Prestige is 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 prevention, real time alerts, reports and logs.

Note: You can configure most features of the Prestige via SMT but we recommend you configure the firewall and content filters using the web configurator.

IPSec VPN Capability

Establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect with business partners and branch offices using data encryption and the Internet to provide secure communications without the expense of leased site-to-site lines. The Prestige VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is fully interoperable with other IPSec-based VPN products.

The Prestige supports up to 20 simultaneous IPSec connections.

Content Filtering

Content filtering allows you to block access to Internet web sites that contain key words (that you specify) in the URL. You can also schedule when the Prestige should perform the filtering and give trusted LAN IP addresses unfiltered Internet access.
