Prestige 324 Intelligent Broadband Sharing Gateway

Chapter 1

Getting to Know Your Prestige

This chapter introduces the main applications of the Prestige as well as a list of key features.

1.1Intelligent Broadband Sharing Gateway

The Prestige is a dual Ethernet Broadband Sharing Gateway with an integrated 4-port switch and robust network management features for Internet access via external Cable/xDSL modem. A combination of switch and router makes your Prestige a cost-effective and viable network solution. A 4-port bandwidth- sensitive 10/100Mbps switch provides greater network efficiency than traditional hubs because the bandwidth is dedicated and not shared. An unlimited number of computers may be connected to your Prestige by adding other hubs if your LAN consists of more than 4 computers.

The Prestige web configurator is a breeze to operate and independent of the operating system you use.

1.2Features of the Prestige 324

The following are the main hardware and firmware features of the Prestige.

1.2.1 Hardware Features

10/100MB Auto-negotiating Ethernet WAN

This auto-negotiation feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.

Integrated 4-Port 10/100MB Auto-sensing Ethernet Switch

The 10/100M LAN interface enables fast data transfers of 10Mbps or 100Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network. Auto-sensing allows you to use either a crossover Ethernet cable or a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect your device to either a computer or external hub. In other words these ports automatically adjust according to the type of cable so that either straight- through Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet cable may be used.

All-in-one Console and Auxiliary Port

Set the CON/AUX switch to the “CON” side when using the CON/AUX port as a regular console port for local device configuration and management. Set this switch to the “AUX” side when using the CON/AUX port as an auxiliary dial-up WAN connection.
