Prestige 2302 Support Notes
What network interface does the new Prestige series support?
The new Prestige series comes with an auto MDX/MDIX 10/100M Ethernet LAN port to connect to computer(s) or switch(es) on the LAN and one 10/100M Ethernet port to connect to the external cable/DSL modem on the WAN.
Does the Prestige support TFTP?
Yes. In addition to the direct console port connection, the Prestige supports firmware upload and configuration file uploading/download using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN.
Does the Prestige support TFTP over WAN?
Although TFTP also works over the WAN, it is not recommended because of potential data corruption error while transferring files to the Prestige.
How can I upload data to outside Internet over the
Set up an alternate path for connection to the Internet (for example, a dialup connection). You can still receive downstream packets from the Internet through the Prestige.
How fast is the DSL connection?
There are a number of factors that can affect the speed of your ADSL connection. The connection speed may depend on how fast your computer handles data, how fast data can be transmitted between your computer and the modem, how well the cable modem handles traffic during network congestion, or how much bandwidth is provided by the ISP, etc.
Depending on your computer, data process speed varies and few computers can achieve data processing rates at up to 30 Mbps.
Ethernet (10baseT) is the most popular cable modem interface standard for a computer. This automatically limits the speed of the connection to less than 10 Mbps even if the modem can receive at 30 Mbps. Most Local Area Networks use 10baseT Ethernet, and although they are 10 Mbps networks, it takes a much longer than one second to transmit 10 megabits (or 1.25 megabytes) of data from one terminal to another.
Cable modems on the same node share the same bandwidth, which means that congestion is created when too many people try to access the Internet at the same time. In addition, when one user is downloading large graphic
