Content Filtering
Content filtering allows you to block access to forbidden Internet web sites, schedule when the 
Prestige should perform the filtering and give trusted LAN IP addresses unfiltered Internet 
access.
Traffic Redirect
Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the Prestige cannot connect 
to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary if your regular WAN connection fails.
Media Bandwidth Management
ZyXEL’s Media Bandwidth Management allows you to specify bandwidth classes based on an 
application and/or subnet. You can allocate specific amounts of bandwidth capacity 
(bandwidth budgets) to different bandwidth classes. 
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the Prestige and other UPnP enabled devices can 
dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices 
on the network.
PPPoE Support (RFC2516)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your 
ISP to use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as 
ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the Prestige is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which 
see only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE 
clients on individual computers.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address 
used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a 
different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on 
the Internet).
10/100M Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface(s)
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.
Auto-Crossover (MDI/MDI-X) 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Interface(s)
These interfaces automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.
