Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Prestige

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 P-33

5WT 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.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA 2 (IEEE 
802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and 
key management than WPA.

Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are improved data encryption and user 
authentication.

The Prestige is equipped with a 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.

OTIST allows your Prestige to assign its ESSID and security settings (WEP or WPA-PSK) to 
the ZyXEL wireless adapters that support OTIST and are within transmission range. The 
ZyXEL wireless adapters must also have OTIST enabled.
