Getting to Know Your Prestige 1-1

Chapter 1Getting to Know Your Prestige

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Pres tige.

1.1 The Prestige 312 Broadband Security Gateway

The Prestige 312 is a dual Ethernet Broadband Security Gateway integrated with a robust firewall and

network management features designed for home offices and small businesses to access the Internet via

Cable/ADSL modem or broadband router. By integrating NAT and firewall capability, ZyXEL’s Prestige

312 provides not only ease of installation and Internet access, but also a complete security solution to protect

your Intranet and efficiently manage data traffic on your network. The Prestige Web Configurator is a breeze

to operate and totally independent of the operating system platform you use.

1.2 Features of The Prestige 312

The following are the essential features of the Prestige 312.

Firewall

Firewall with Stateful Inspection and DoS (Denial of Service) protection. By default, when the firewall is

activated all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is blocked. The Prestige firewall supports TCP/UDP

inspection, DoS (Denial of Services) detection and prevention, real time alerts, reports and logs.

Note: You can configure most features of the P312 via SMT but we recommend you

configure the firewall and Content Filters using the Prestige Web Configurator.

Content Filtering

The Prestige can block web features such as ActiveX controls, Java applets, cookies as well as disable web

proxies. The Prestige can also block specific URLs by using the keyword feature.

Packet Filtering

The Packet Filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.

PPPoE

PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed data

networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.

PPTP Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data from a

remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a TCP/IP-based network.

PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the

Internet. The Prestige supports one PPTP server connection at any given time.
