Prestige 202 ISDN Router
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (workstations) to obtain the
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP server
capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS
servers to Windows® 9X, Windows® NT and other systems that support the DHCP client. The Prestige can
now also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the
actual real DHCP server to the clients.
Call Control
Your Prestige provides budget management for outgoing calls and maintains a blacklist for unreachable
phone numbers in order to save you the expense of unnecessary charges.
Data Compression
Your Prestige incorporates Stac data compression to speed up data transfer. Stac is the de facto standard of
data compression over PPP links.
Networking Compatibility
Your Prestige is compatible with remote access products from other manufacturers such as Ascend, Cisco,
and 3Com. Furthermore, it supports Microsoft™ Windows® 95 and Windows® NT remote access
capability.
Prestige Network Commander
The Prestige Network Commander is a C++ based utility designed to allow users to access the Prestige's
management settings via a Worldwide Web browser.
Upgrade Firmware via LAN
In addition to the direct console port connection, the Prestige supports the up/downloading of firmware and
configuration file using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over the LAN. Even though TFTP should work
over the WAN as well, it is not recommended because of potential data corruption problems.
Supplementary Voice Features
The Prestige supports the following Supplementary Voice Features on both of its analog or POTS (Plain Old
Telephone Service) phone ports:
♦ Call Waiting
♦ Three Way Calling (Conference Calling)
♦ Call Transfer
♦ Call Forwarding
♦ Reminder Ring
