Getting to Know Your Prestige
Time and Date Setting
This 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
Menu 24.1- System Status
and
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 1/1/2000 0:0:0.
Logging and Tracing
♦
Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
♦
Unix syslog facility support.
Embedded FTP and TFTP Services
The Prestige’s embedded FTP and TFTP services enable the fast upgrade of firmware via standard file
transfer protocols.
SNMP
SNMP (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).
Brute-Force Password Guessing Protection
The Prestige has a special protection mechanism to discourage brute-force password guessing attacks on
the Prestige’s management interfaces. Brute-force password guessing is repeatedly trying different
combinations of letters, numbers and so on until the password is found. Brute-Force Password Guessing
Protection enforces a wait-time after a certain number of incorrect passwords have been entered This wait-
time must expire before another password can be entered. Please see the appendices for details about
configuring this feature using CI commands.

Broadband Internet Access via Cable or DSL Modem
A cable modem or DSL modem can be connected to the Prestige WAN Ethernet port and up to four
computers can be connected to the four Prestige 10/100M LAN Ethernet ports for super-fast broadband
Internet access. The Prestige provides not only the high speed Internet access but also a complete solution
to efficiently manage data traffic on your network.

CON/AUX
switch
CON/AUX port
Set this switch to the “CON” side to use the CON/AUX port as a regular console port for
local device configuration and management. Connect the 9-pin male end of the console
cable to the console port of the Prestige and the other end (choice of 9-pin or 25-pin,
depending on your computer) end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of
your computer. You can use an extension RS-232 cable if the enclosed one is too short.
Your computer should have a terminal emulation communications program (such as
HyperTerminal) set to VT100 terminal emulation, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no data
flow and 9600 bps port speed.
Set this switch to the “AUX” side to use the CON/AUX port as an auxiliary dial-up WAN
connection. Connect the 9-pin male end of the RS-232 Y-cable to the CON/AUX port and
use the included CON/AUX converter on the other 9-pin end of the cable to connect to a
modem or TA.
