Getting to Know Your Prestige 314 PLUS

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Prestige as well as a checklist for

fast Internet access.

1.1

The Prestige Broadband Sharing Gateway With 4-Port

Switch

The Prestige is a dual Ethernet Broadband Sharing Gateway with an integrated 4-port switch and robust

network management features for Internet access via external Cable/xDSL modem. Equipped with

10/100Mbps Ethernet port for WAN, an auto-negotiating 10/100Mbps Ethernet port for LAN and the

Network Address Translation (NAT) feature, the Prestige is uniquely suited as a broadband Internet access

sharing gateway for small offices and home offices.

The Prestige web configurator is a breeze to operate and totally independent of the operating system platform

you use.

1.2

Features of the Prestige 314 PLUS

The following are the main features of the Prestige.

Broadband WAN Connection with Integrated 4-Port Switch

A combination of switch and router makes your Prestige a cost-effective and viable network solution. A 4-

port bandwidth-sensitive 10/100Mbps switch provides greater network efficiency than traditional hubs

because the bandwidth is dedicated and not shared. An unlimited number of computers may be connected to

your Prestige by adding other hubs if your LAN consists of more than 4 computers.

10/100MB Auto-negotiation Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface

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-Sensing Ethernet LAN Ports

The LAN ports on the Prestige automatically adjust for straight-through or crossover cabling. This automatic

polarity correction helps find and fix common cabling problems and it simplifies the installation process as

the can be either a straight-through or crossover cable. The Prestige automatically switches its transmit and

receive circuitry to accommodate the link partner’s polarity.
