Prestige 652 ADSL Security Router
You can configure most features of the Prestige via SMT but we recommend you
configure the firewall and content filters using the Prestige Web Configurator.
•
Content Filtering
The Prestige can block specific URLs by using the keyword blocking feature.
Internal SPTGEN
Internal SPTGEN (System Parameter Table Generator) lets you configure, save and upload multiple menus
at the same time using just one configuration text file - eliminating the need to navigate and configure
individual SMT menus for each Prestige.
•
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 client to use this service.
•
Packet Filtering
The Packet Filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.
PPPoE Support (RFC2516)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your ISP to use their
existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the
Prestige is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE
thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE clients on individual computers.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) allows the translation of multiple IP addresses used
within one network to different IP addresses known within another network. This feature allows multiple-
user Internet access for the cost of a single IP account. NAT supports popular Internet applications such as
MS traceroute, CuSeeMe, IRC, RealPlayer, VDOLive, Quake, and PPTP. No configuration is needed to
support these applications.
10/100M Auto-negotiation Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface
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.
Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support
Your Prestige supports up to 8 PVCs.
