Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your Prestige

The Prestige's packet filtering functions allows added network security and management.

Your Prestige's compact and ventilated housing minimizes space requirements making it easy 
to position anywhere in your busy office. 

A combination of switch and router makes your Prestige a cost-effective and viable network 
solution. You can connect up to four computers to the Prestige without the cost of a hub. Use a 
hub to add more than four computers to your LAN.

The Prestige supports the IEEE 802.11g standard, which is fully compatible with the IEEE 
802.11b standard, meaning that you can have both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g wireless 
clients in the same wireless network.

Note: The Prestige may be prone to RF (Radio Frequency) interference from other 

2.4 GHz devices such as microwave ovens, wireless phones, Bluetooth 
enabled devices, and other wireless LANs.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security specification standard. 
Key differences between WPA and WEP are user authentication and improved data 
encryption.

The Prestige is equipped with one 2dBi fixed antenna to provide clear radio signal between the 
wireless stations and the access points. 

Your Prestige can check the MAC addresses of wireless stations against a list of allowed or 
denied MAC addresses.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless 
network to help keep network communications private.
