Dynamic Dns Support; Adsl Standards - ZyXEL Communications Prestige 662H Series User Manual

PPPoE Support (RFC2516)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your
ISP to use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as
ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the Prestige is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which
see only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE
clients on individual computers.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address
used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a
different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on
the Internet).
LAN/DMZ Interface
The Prestige provides a LAN port that can function as a virtual DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ)
port. Public servers (Web, FTP, etc.) attached to the DMZ port are visible to the outside world
(while still being protected from DoS (Denial of Service) attacks such as SYN flooding and
Ping of Death) and can also be accessed from the secure LAN.
10/100M Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface(s)
This auto-negotiation feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions
and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
Auto-Crossover (MDI/MDI-X) 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Interface(s)
These interfaces automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.

Dynamic DNS Support

With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address,
allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must
register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support
Your Prestige supports up to 8 PVC's.

ADSL Standards

• Full-Rate (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1) with line rate support of up to 8 Mbps
downstream and 832 Kbps upstream.
• G.lite (G.992.2) with line rate support of up to 1.5Mbps downstream and 512Kbps
upstream.
