Chapter 1

Getting to Know Your Prestige

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Prestige.

1.1 The Prestige 314 Broadband Sharing Gateway With 4-Port

Switch

The Prestige 314 is a dual Ethernet Broadband Sharing Gateway with an integrated 4-port switch and advanced network management features. It is designed for home offices and small businesses to easily and quickly access the Internet via Cable/ADSL modem or broadband router. ZyXEL’s Prestige 314 provides not only ease of installation and Internet access, but also a complete solution to efficiently manage data traffic on your network. The embedded web configurator is a breeze to operate and totally independent of the operating system platform you use.

1.2Features of the Prestige 314

The following are the essential features of the Prestige 314.

Broadband WAN Connection with Integrated Four-Port Switch

The P314 sports a 10 Mbps Ethernet port for a cable or DSL modem connection as well as an integrated 4- Port Switch allowing up to 4 computers on your network to enjoy super-fast Internet access without the need for an additional hub.

Dynamic DNS Support

With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must register with a Dynamic DNS client to use this service.

IP Multicast

Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in two ways - unicast or broadcast. Multicast is a third way to deliver IP packets to a group of hosts. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC 2236). Both versions 1 and 2 are supported by the Prestige.

Packet Filtering

The Packet Filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.

PPPoE

PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed data networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.

Full Network Management

Your Prestige offers you a variety of options for network management. It supports password protected local and remote network management via the console port or a telnet connection using SMT (System Management Interface) or the Embedded Web Configurator. It also supports FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server for remote management, TFTP (Trivial FTP), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and CI (Command Interpreter) mode.

Auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps Ethernet

The 4 LAN ports automatically detect if it’s on a 10 or a 100 Mbps Ethernet.

Single User Account (SUA)

SUA is ZyXEL’s version of NAT (Network Address Translation) which enables multiple users to share a single ISP account, thereby accessing the Internet for the cost of a single IP address.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

The Prestige supports DHCP Server and Client (RFC 2131 and RFC 2132). The Prestige's DHCP server capability allows you to automatically assign TCP/IP settings to a workstation on your LAN. The Prestige's DHCP client capability allows it to get automatically its IP address from the ISP on the WAN.

RoadRunner Support

In addition to standard cable modem services, the Prestige supports Time Warner’s RoadRunner Service.
