Prestige 2302RL Support Notes

Does the Prestige support TFTP?

Yes. In addition to the direct console port connection, the Prestige supports firmware upload and configuration
file uploading/download using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN.
Does the Prestige support TFTP over WAN?
Although TFTP also works over the WAN, it is not recommended because of potential data corruption error
while transferring files to the Prestige.
How can I upload data to outside Internet over the one-way cable?
Set up an alternate path for connection to the Internet (for example, a dialup connection). You can still receive
downstream packets from the Internet through the Prestige.
How fast is the DSL connection?
There are a number of factors that can affect the speed of your ADSL connection. The connection speed may
depend on how fast your computer handles data, how fast data can be transmitted between your computer and
the modem, how well the cable modem handles traffic during network congestion, or how much bandwidth is
provided by the ISP, etc.
Depending on your computer, data process speed varies and few computers can achieve data processing rates at
up to 30 Mbps.
Ethernet (10baseT) is the most popular cable modem interface standard for a computer. This automatically
limits the speed of the connection to less than 10 Mbps even if the modem can receive at 30 Mbps. Most Local
Area Networks use 10baseT Ethernet, and although they are 10 Mbps networks, it takes a much longer than one
second to transmit 10 megabits (or 1.25 megabytes) of data from one terminal to another.
Cable modems on the same node share the same bandwidth, which means that congestion is created when too
many people try to access the Internet at the same time. In addition, when one user is downloading large graphic
or video files, a significant portion of the shared bandwidth is used thus slowing down access for other users in
the same neighborhood.
Most independent Internet Service Providers today connect to the Internet using a single 1.5 Mbps "T1"
telephone line. All their subscribers share that 1.5 Mbps bandwidth. Cable companies connecting to the Internet
backbone using a T1 limit their subscribers to an absolute maximum of 1.5 Mbps.
