Prestige 650R-31/33 ADSL Router

Chapter 1

Getting To Know Your Prestige

This chapter describes the key features and applications of your Prestige.

1.1Prestige 650 ADSL Internet Access Router

Your Prestige integrates a high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface and one high-speed ADSL port into a single package. The Prestige is ideal for high-speed Internet browsing and making LAN- to-LAN connections to remote networks.

1.2Features of the Prestige

Your Prestige is packed with a number of features that give it the flexibility to provide a complete networking solution for almost any user.

High Speed Internet Access

Your Prestige ADSL router can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream transmission rates of 832 Kbps. Prestige with ADSL over POTS also supports rate management.

PPPoE Support (RFC2516)

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your ISP to use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the Prestige is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE clients on individual computers.
