Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your Prestige

The Prestige is equipped with an antenna connector and comes with a detachable 5dBi 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.

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

Here are some example uses for which the Prestige is well suited.

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.
