Preface xxi rN Prestige 316 Broadband Sharing Gateway / Wireless LAN Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Prestige This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Prestige. 1.1. The Prestige 316 Broadband Sharing Gateway The Prestige 316 is a dual Ethernet Broadband Sharing Gateway integrated with network management features designed for home offices and small businesses to access the Internet via Cable/DSL modem or broadband router. By integrating SUA capability, ZyXELs Prestige 316 provides not only ease of installation and Internet access, but also a complete security solution to protect your Intranet and efficiently manage data traffic on your network. Whats more, with the wireless LAN connectivity, users can work anywhere in the coverage area, enjoying the convenience and mobility. 1.2 Features of the Prestige 316 The following are the essential features of the Prestige 316. Broadband Internet Access Sharing One 10 Mbps Ethernet port for WAN access allows speeds of up to 10 Mbps full/half duplex data transfer capability for connecting to broadband cable or DSL modems. IEEE 802.11b 11 Mbps Wireless LAN The 11 Mbps wireless LAN provides mobility and a fast network environment for smail and home offices. Users can connect to the local area network without any wiring efforts and enjoy reliable high-speed connectivity. Packet Filtering The Packet Filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network. PPPoE Support 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. PPTP Support Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks. PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet. Getting to Know Your Prestige 1-1 Prestige 316 Broadband Sharing Gateway / Wireless LAN 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. Auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps Ethernet The LAN interface automatically detects if it is on a 10 or a 100 Mbps Ethernet, providing the SOHO and professional users a higher bandwidth. SUA (Single User Account) / NAT (Network Address Translation) SUA enables multiple users to share a single ISP account, thereby accessing the Internet for the cost of a single IP address.
-~QHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) fhe 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. Full Network Management This feature allows you to access SMT (System Management Terminal) through the console port or telnet connection. RoadRunner Support In addition to standard cable modem services, the Prestige supports Time Warners RoadRunner Service. Time and Date Setting This new feature (Menu 24.10) allows you to get the current time and date from an external server when you power up your Prestige. The real time is then displayed in the Prestige error logs. If you do not choose a time service protocol that your timeserver will send when the Prestige powers up you can enter the time manually but each time the system is booted, the time and date will be reset to 2000/1/1 0:0:0. Logging and Tracing 7-~ The Prestige has the following logging and tracing features:
Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
@ UNIX syslog facility support. Upgrade Prestige Firmware via LAN The firmware of the Prestige 316 can be upgraded via the LAN. Embedded FTP and TFTP Servers The Prestiges embedded FTP and TFTP Servers enable faster firmware upgrade as well as configuration file backup and restoration. IP Alias The ability to partition physical network into logical network over the same Ethernet interface is referred as IP Alias functionality. 1-2 Getting to Know Your Prestige Prestige 316 Broadband Sharing Gateway / Wireless LAN 1.3 Applications for Prestige 316 1.3.1 Broadband Internet Access via Cable or DSL Modem A cable modem or DSL modem can connect to the Prestige 316 for broadband Internet access via Ethernet port on the modem.
