What network interface does the Prestige support?

The Prestige comes with a 10/100M Ethernet interface to connect to your LAN computer and the external cable/DSL modem.

What can I do with the Prestige?

You can connect to the Internet through the Prestige. This allows you to browse the web, send and receive e-mail, and download/share files. These are just a few of many benefits you get when you put the whole office on-line with the Prestige Internet Access Sharing Router.

Does the Prestige support dynamic IP addressing?

Yes. You can set the Prestige to use a static WAN IP address or set it to use a dynamic IP address from the ISP.

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

Internal IP addresses are also referred to as virtual IP addresses. They are a group of up to 255 IP addresses that are used and recognized internally on the local area network. They are not intended to be recognized on the Internet. The real IP address (or the public IP address) you obtain from the ISP, instead, can be recognized or pinged by other real IP addresses. The Prestige Internet Access Sharing Router works like an intelligent router that routes network traffic between the virtual IP addresses and real IP addresses.

How does e-mail work through the Prestige?

It depends on what kind of IP address 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 the Prestige 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 rights.

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 the Prestige 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 rights.
