Prestige 794M User’s Guide

Multiplexing

The Prestige supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Full Network Management

The embedded web configurator is an all-platform web-based utility that allows you to easily access the Prestige’s management settings. Most functions of the Prestige are also configurable via the CLI (Command Line Interface) over a telnet/console connection.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the Prestige and other UPnP enabled devices can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).

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.

Content Filtering

The Prestige can block web features such as ActiveX controls, Java applets and cookies, as well as disable web proxies. The Prestige can block or allow access to web sites that you specify. The Prestige can also block access to web sites containing keywords that you specify. You can define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled and include or exclude a range of users on the LAN from content filtering.

Packet Filtering

The packet filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.

Dynamic DNS (DDNS)

With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
