P-320W User’s GuideChapter 1 Getting to Know Your Prestige 27CHAPTER 1Getting to Know Your PrestigeThis chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Prestige.1.1 Prestige OverviewThe Prestige is the ideal secure wireless firewall router for all data passing between the Internet and LAN’s.The Prestige provides NAT, port forwarding, firewall, DHCP server and many other powerful features. The Prestige has an embedded mini-PCI module for 802.11g Wireless LAN connectivity.The embedded web configurator is easy to operate.Note: Only use firmware for your Prestige’s specific model.1.2 Prestige FeaturesThe following sections describe Prestige features. 1.2.1 Physical Features10/100 Mbps Auto-negotiating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface(s)This auto-negotiation feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.Auto-negotiation allows data transfer of 100 Mbps in full-duplex modeAuto-crossover 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Interface(s)These interfaces automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.4-Port SwitchA combination of switch and router makes your Prestige a cost-effective and viable network solution. You can add up to four computers to the Prestige without the cost of a hub. Add more than four computers to your LAN by using a hub.
P-320W User’s Guide28 Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your PrestigeReset ButtonThe Prestige reset button is built into the rear panel. Use this button to restore the factory default password to 1234; IP address to 192.168.1.1, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and DHCP server enabled with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting at 192.168.1.33. 1.2.2 Non-Physical FeaturesFirewallThe Prestige is a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service) protection. By default, when the firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is blocked unless it is initiated from the LAN. The Prestige firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real time alerts, reports and logs.Packet FilteringThe packet filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.Time and DateThe Prestige allows you to get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on your Prestige. You can also set the time manually. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)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.PPPoEPPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with an Internet modem to achieve access to high-speed data networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.PPTP EncapsulationPoint-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 a TCP/IP-based network.PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet. The Prestige supports one PPTP server connection at any given time.
P-320W User’s GuideChapter 1 Getting to Know Your Prestige 29Dynamic DNS SupportWith Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) 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 for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.IP MulticastDeliver IP packets to a specific group of hosts using IP multicast. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC 2236); the Prestige supports both versions 1 and 2.SNMPSNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network. The Prestige supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2). Network Address Translation (NAT)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).Traffic RedirectTraffic Redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway on the LAN when the Prestige cannot connect to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary backup when your regular WAN connection fails.Port ForwardingUse this feature to forward incoming service requests to a server on your local network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server.DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual client computers to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to all systems that support the DHCP client.
P-320W User’s Guide30 Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your PrestigeFull Network ManagementThe embedded web configurator is an all-platform web-based utility that allows you to easily access the Prestige’s management settings and configure the firewall. Most functions of the Prestige are also software configurable via the SMT (System Management Terminal) interface. The SMT is a menu-driven interface that you can access over a telnet connection. RoadRunner SupportIn addition to standard cable modem services, the Prestige supports Time Warner’s RoadRunner Service.Logging and Tracing• Built-in message logging and packet tracing.• Firewall logs.• Content filtering logs.Upgrade Prestige Firmware via LANThe firmware of the Prestige can be upgraded via the LAN (refer to Maintenance- F/W Upload Screen).Embedded FTP and TFTP ServersThe Prestige’s embedded FTP and TFTP Servers enable fast firmware upgrades as well as configuration file backups and restoration.1.2.3 Wireless FeaturesWireless LANThe Prestige supports the IEEE 802.11g standard, which is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard, meaning that you can have both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g wireless clients in the same wireless network.Note: The Prestige may be prone to RF (Radio Frequency) interference from other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwave ovens, wireless phones, Bluetooth enabled devices, and other wireless LANs.Wi-Fi Protected AccessWi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security specification standard. Key differences between WPA and WEP are user authentication and improved data encryption.
P-320W User’s GuideChapter 1 Getting to Know Your Prestige 31Antenna The Prestige is equipped with a 2dBi fixed antenna to provide clear radio signal between the wireless stations and the access points. Wireless LAN MAC Address FilteringYour Prestige can check the MAC addresses of wireless stations against a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses.WEP EncryptionWEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless network to help keep network communications private.OTIST (One Touch Intelligent Security Technology)OTIST allows your Prestige to assign its ESSID and security settings (WEP or WPA-PSK) to the ZyXEL wireless adapters that support OTIST and are within transmission range. The ZyXEL wireless adapters must also have OTIST enabled.Association List With the association list, you can see the list of the wireless stations that are currently using the Prestige to access your wired network.1.3 Applications for the Prestige Here are some examples of what you can do with your Prestige. 1.3.1 Secure Broadband Internet Access via Cable or DSL Modem You can connect a cable modem, DSL or wireless modem to the Prestige for broadband Internet access via an Ethernet or a wireless port on the modem.
