1.2.2Firmware Features

Full Network Management

Your Prestige offers you a variety of options for network management. It supports password protected local and remote network management via the console port or a telnet connection using SMT (System Management Interface). Your Prestige includes an intuitive web configurator that makes setup and configuration easy. Included with the web configurator is embedded help designed to assist you during setup/configuration. It also supports FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server for remote management, TFTP (Trivial FTP), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and CI (Command Interpreter) mode.

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, NETBIOS packet filtering, 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 also block specific URLs by using the keyword feature.

Packet Filtering

Packet filtering blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.

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.

Traffic Redirect

Traffic Redirect is used to sustain the Internet connection. The Prestige detects if the connectivity has been lost and will forward the outgoing traffic to another specified gateway.

NAT (Network Address Translation)

NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) allows the translation of an Internet Protocol address used within one network to a different IP address known within another network. The Prestige can now map multiple global IP addresses to local IP addresses of clients or servers.

Port Forwarding

Use this feature to forward incoming service requests to a server on your local network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server.
