Applications for the Prestige

Here are some example uses for which the Prestige is well suited.
1.3.1 Internet Access
The Prestige is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. Your Prestige supports the TCP/IP protocol,
which the Internet uses exclusively. It is compatible with all major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexer) providers. A DSLAM is a rack of DSL line cards with data multiplexed into a backbone
network interface/connection. Think of it as the equivalent of a modem rack for ADSL. In addition, you can
insert an optional wireless PCMICA card into the Prestige and allow wireless clients access to your network
resources. A typical Internet access application is shown below.

Internet Single User Account
For a SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) environment, your Prestige offers the Single User Account (SUA)
feature that allows multiple users on the LAN (Local Area Network) to access the Internet concurrently for
the cost of a single IP address.
