Getting to Know Your G.SHDSL Router
This chapter covers the key features and main applications of your Prestige.
The Prestige 791R Router can be used for high-speed LAN-to-LAN connections or Internet access through
a G.SHDSL connection over the telephone line. You can use your Prestige for either IP routing or bridging
depending on your ISP (Internet Service Provider) configuration.
1.1 Features of the Prestige
The following features make the Prestige a complete and the flexible networking solution for most users.
High Speed Scalability
One of the best features of G.SHDSL service is its scalability. Your Prestige G.SHDSL router supports
symmetrical multi-rate data transmission speeds from 64 Kbps up to 2312 Kbps. You can increase the
capacity of the Internet connection (within certain distance limitations) without changing your ISP or
purchasing new equipment. G.SHDSL’s high symmetrical speeds are ideal for applications like web hosting
and videoconferencing as well as the two-way data traffic needs of businesses.
Symmetrical High Speed Internet Access
The Prestige 791R supports symmetrical transmission up to 2.3 Mbps. For NSP’s (Network Service
Provider) convenience, the Prestige also supports rate management depending on distances and service
charges.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol – versions 1 and 2)
SNMP, a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite, allows you to exchange management information between
network devices. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent functionality that allows a manager station to manage
and monitor the Prestige through the network.
SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured on your Prestige.
IP Multicast
Deliver 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.
