Prestige 324 Intelligent Broadband Sharing Gateway

DHCP Support

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (workstations) to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and other systems that support the DHCP client.

Dynamic DNS Support

With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.

IP Multicast

Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in two ways - unicast or broadcast. Multicast is a third way to deliver IP packets to a group of hosts. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC 2236). The Prestige supports versions 1 and 2.

IP Alias

IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet interface.

Call Scheduling

Configure call time periods to restrict and allow access for users on remote nodes.

Call Control

The Prestige provides budget management for outgoing calls and chronicles incoming and outgoing calls.

RoadRunner Support

In addition to standard cable modem services, the Prestige supports Time Warner’s RoadRunner Service.

PPPoE Support

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 Support

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.
