Getting to Know Your Router

This chapter describes the key features and applications of your Prestige.
1.1

Prestige 128+ ISDN Bridge Router

The Prestige 128+ is an ISDN bridge/router. The Prestige is ideal for everything
from Internet browsing to receiving calls from remote dial-in users to making
LAN-to-LAN connections to remote networks.
1.2

Features of Prestige 128+

The following are the key features of the Prestige 128+.
L2TP Support
The L2TP protocol allows users to build their own private "tunnel" through the
Internet to enable transport of non-IP traffic (e.g., IPX). Rather than making a
long-distance call to the corporate server, a telecommuter or branch office can
use a local ISP and the Internet to connect to a corporate network.
ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) Support
The P128+ supports a single BRI. A BRI offers two 64Kbps channels, which can
be used independently for two destinations or be bundled to speed up data
transfer.
