Key Features of the Prestige 964
The following are the key features of the Prestige 964:
DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS compliant cable modem
Provides interoperability with other DOCSIS compliant cable modems and cable headend equipment.
Peak downstream signaling rates of 43 Mbps and upstream signaling rates of 30 Mbps
Access the Internet with high performance network capability.
DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 2.0 cable systems are capable of providing signaling rate of up to
43/55 Mbps and 30 Mbps for downstream and upstream respectively. This bandwidth
however, is shared by several subscribers because there are very few computers today
that can connect to a network at such high speeds. Hence, typical connection speeds are 5
Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream.
IP routing, TCP, ICMP, ARP, TFTP, RIP1, RIP2 with MD5
Improves network performance through containment of broadcast messages and improves security support for
unicast, broadcast and multicast IP packets. The RIP supports key-string encrypted with MD5 for
authentication with the CMTS.
5-port Auto-negotiating and Auto MDI/MDI-X 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch
The 5-port LAN interface automatically detects if it is on a 10 Mbps or a 100 Mbps Ethernet.
56-bit DES Baseline Privacy
Software Remotely Upgradeable
The software and configuration information is downloadable from the cable headend to the Prestige. This
eliminates the need for a cable technician's visit to install software upgrades.
Built-in Diagnostic Features
P964 support remote troubleshooting via CMTS-initiated diagnostics, eliminating visit by a technician. The
front panel status indicator LEDs and web based status monitoring are also incorporated to easy diagnostics
from LAN interfaces.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information
between network devices. SNMP is a member of TCP/IP protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent
functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network. The
Prestige supports SNMP version one, two, and three. (SNMP v1, v2 and v3).
Network Address Translation (NAT)
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) allows the translation of an Internet Protocol address
used within one network to a different IP address known within another network.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual client computers 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 all
systems that support the DHCP client.
