Getting to Know Your Prestige

1-1

Chapter 1

Getting to Know Your Prestige

This chapter provides functional overviews, key features, applications and product specifications of

your Prestige

1.1

Overview of the Prestige

The Prestige is a high bandwidth Internet access Cable Modem with integrated router device that connects

your home/office LAN to the Internet using the hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) cable; the same cable that brings

television into a cable television (CATV) subscriber’s home. Through 5 Ethernet and 1 USB ports of the

Prestige, up to 6 computers can be directly connected to the HFC cable network for high-speed access to the

Internet without an external Ethernet hub. It is ideal for cable users with more than one computer and is an

excellent alternative to the more expensive leased lines.

Prestige 964 provide 2 models for supporting both the Multimedia Cable Network System (MCNS) Data Over

Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) and EuroDOCSIS specifications in 1.0/1.1/2.0 version.

MCNS is a consortium of cable television companies whose goal is to create standards for interoperable

data-over-cable systems.

The Prestige operates with one external 9V DC-input power supply.

1.2

5-Port Switch & USB interface

Prestige 964 has integrated 5-port Ethernet switch and one USB 1.1 interfaces concurrently. The 5-port switch

provides auto crossover MDI/MDI-x function and is 10/100M bps Ethernet auto-negotiating. The physical

user interfaces of P964 provides you with the capability of connecting up to 6 stations without the need of

external Ethernet hub/switch. If you have more than 6 computers, to choose a hub/switch can easily expand

the number of LAN users.

1.3

Operation Mode

According to DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS specification, a cable modem is basically a bridge device. It can be

configured to serve specific CPEs by provisioning their MAC addresses. Only traffic to/from these CPEs will

be forwarded. The others will be filtered. It can also be configured to serve specific numbers of CPEs.

However, these services are provided by your cable operator. They have to setup one account for each CPE.

For most Internet users, they have only one access account. If they have two computers' at home and want to

share this account for two or more users, they have to add another Internet sharing device, like a router.

The Prestige 964 is equivalent to a cable modem plus a router. This is very suitable for SOHO and SME for

Internet sharing.

P964 Cable Router has three major operation modes as shown in Figure 1-1.
