Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your Prestige

34

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.

These interfaces automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.

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.

Your Prestige supports up to 8 PVC’s.

• 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.

• Supports Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.lite 

(G992.2)).

• TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network layer protocol.
• ATM Forum UNI 3.1/4.0 PVC.
• Supports up to 8 PVCs (UBR, CBR, VBR).
• Multiple Protocol over AAL5 (RFC 1483).
• PPP over AAL5 (RFC 2364).
• PPP over Ethernet over AAL5 (RFC 2516).
• RFC 1661. 
• PPP over PAP (RFC 1334).
• PPP over CHAP (RFC 1994).

• DHCP Support

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (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. It can assign IP 
addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients. 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.
