Prestige 2302 Support Notes

What is the difference between the 'Standard' and 'RoadRunner' service?

The Road Runner service is commonly used in the USA and it requires the user to "log in" to the service
provider network before Internet access is allowed. The most popular implementation is TAS (Toshiba
Authentication System) with a packet filtering firewall in the upstream direction. Before users are logged in,
they can send ICMP packets (that is, ping) to a remote host through the Internet. However, all outgoing
(upstream) TCP and UDP packets to the Internet are blocked. Thus users can access the local local DNS/login
server. Downstream packets (or packets from the Internet to the users) are not filtered or blocked.
With Standard service, no user login is required. This is commonly used with a cable modem. The Prestige
supports both Road Runner and Standard services in SMT menu 4 for connecting to the ISPs for Internet
connection.
Is it possible to access a server running behind SUA from the outside Internet? If possible,
how?
Yes, it is possible because Prestige delivers the packet to the local server by looking up to a SUA server table.
Therefore, to make a local server accessible to the outside users, the port number and the inside IP address of
the server must be configured in SMT Menu 15 - SUA Server Setup.

What DHCP capability does the Prestige support?

The Prestige supports DHCP client on the WAN port and DHCP server on the LAN port. The Prestige's DHCP
client allows it to get a public WAN IP address from the ISP automatically if your ISP uses DHCP as a method
to assign IP addresses. The Prestige's internal DHCP server allows it to automatically assign IP and DNS server
addresses to clients on the local LAN.

How do I use the reset button? And which parameter will be reset by the reset button?

Use a sharp pointed object to press the reset button located near the power connector. Press and hold down the
button for about five seconds to reset the device. All device settings, including the login password and IP
address, will be reset to the factory defaults.
The default IP address is 192.168.1.1 and the default login password is 1234.
