Prestige 100 and 100IH ISDN Router and Router/Hub
1-2 Getting to know your Prestige
AUI Interface (P100 only)
The Prestige 100 has an additional AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) or 10 Base-5 port in addition
to a 10 Base-T port. The AUI allows you to connect the Prestige to a thicknet cable. If you have
thinnet cable (10 Base-2) you need an external transceiver to connect the Prestige to the cable.
Dial-On-Demand
The Dial-On-Demand feature allows the Prestige to automatically place a call to a remote
gateway based on the triggering packet’s destination without user intervention.
PPP Multilink
The Prestige can bundle multiple links in a single connection using PPP Multilink Protocol (MP).
The number of links can be either statically configured or dynamically managed based on traffic
demand.
Bandwidth-On-Demand
The Prestige dynamically allocates bandwidth by dialing and dropping connections according to
traffic demand.
Full Network Management
♦ Accessing SMT (System Management Terminal) through telnet connection.
♦ Web-based PWC (Prestige Web Configurator).
Logging and Tracing
♦ CDR (Call Detail Record) to help to analyze and manage the telephone bill.
♦ Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
♦ Unix syslog facility support.
PAP and CHAP Security
The Prestige supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP; however, PAP is readily available on
more platforms.
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the workstations on your LAN to obtain
the configuration from the Prestige.
