1.4  Applications for the Prestige
Here are some example uses for which the Prestige is well suited.
1.4.1  Internet Access
The Prestige is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. Your Prestige supports the TCP/
IP protocol, which the Internet uses exclusively. It is compatible with all major ADSL 
DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) providers.  A DSLAM is a rack of 
ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into a backbone network interface/connection (for 
example, T1, OC3, DS3, ATM or Frame Relay). Think of it as the equivalent of a modem rack 
for ADSL. In addition, the Prestige allows wireless clients access to your network resources. A 
typical Internet access application is shown below.
