Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your Prestige

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 specification draft. 
Key differences between WPA and WEP are user authentication and improved data 
encryption.

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.

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. 

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 (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) 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).
