3.8.3 IP Assignment with ENET ENCAP Encapsulation

In this case you can have either a static or dynamic IP. For a static IP you must fill in all the IP Address and
ENET ENCAP Gateway fields as supplied by your ISP. However for a dynamic IP, the Prestige acts as a
DHCP client on the WAN port and so the IP Address and ENET ENCAP Gateway fields are not applicable
(N/A) as the DHCP server assigns them to the Prestige.

3.8.4 Private IP Addresses

Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from the Internet,
for example, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts without
problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three
blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks:
10.0.0.0
172.16.0.0
192.168.0.0
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or it can be assigned from a private network.
If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you
with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger
organization, you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.
Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address;
always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address assignment,
please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466,

Nailed-Up Connection (PPP)

A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic demand.
The Prestige does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The first is that idle timeout is
