Will the Prestige work with my Internet connection?

The Prestige is designed to be compatible major ISP utilize ADSL as a broadband service. Prestige IAD

offers an Ethernet port to connect to your computer so the Prestige is placed in the line between the computer

and your ISP. If your ISP supports PPPoE/PPPoA you can also use the Prestige, because PPPoE/PPPoA had

been supported in the Prestige.

What do I need to use the Prestige?

You need an ADSL modem/router to use with ADSL line, Prestige is an idea device for such application. The

Prestige has one Ethernet ports: LAN port and one ADSL WAN port. You should connect the computer to the

LAN port and connect the ADSL line to the WAN port. If the ISP uses PPPoE or PPPoA you need the user

account to enter in the Prestige.

What is PPPoE?

PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet that is an IETF draft standard specifying how a

computer interacts with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to the

high-speed data networks via a familiar PPP dialer such as 'Dial-Up Networking' user interface. PPPoE supports

a broad range of existing applications and service including authentication, accounting, secure access and

configuration management. There are some service providers running of PPPoE today. Before configuring

PPPoE in the Prestige, please make sure your ISP supports PPPoE.

Does the Prestige support PPPoE?

Yes. The Prestige supports PPPoE since ZyNOS 2.50.

How do I know I am using PPPoE?

PPPoE requires a user account to login to the provider's server. If you need to configure a user name and

password on your computer to connect to the ISP you are probably using PPPoE. If you are simply connected to

the Internet when you turn on your computer, you probably are not. You can also check your ISP or the

information sheet given by the ISP. Please choose PPPoE as the encapsulation type in the Prestige if the ISP

uses PPPoE.
