Figure 1-1 Prestige 964 Operation Mode

1.3.1 Bridge Mode

In Bridge mode, P964 operates just like a normal cable modem. All operation is compliant to

DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS specifications.

1.3.2 IP Sharing Mode

In IP Sharing mode, the P964 operates as a NAT router. It requires one public IP address from MSO’s DHCP

pool and provides private IP address space for LAN users. The public IP can be static assigned or dynamically

assigned through DHCP.

1.3.3 Static IP Mode

In Static IP mode, P964 provide a routed subnet on its Ethernet interface. A public IP subnet can be assigned

at the Ethernet interface such that the end user can have a static assigned subnet. At the same time, the LAN

users can also use private IP addresses to get on Internet.

Key Features of the Prestige 964

The following are the key features of the Prestige 964:

DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS compliant cable modem

Provides interoperability with other DOCSIS compliant cable modems and cable headend equipment.

Peak downstream signaling rates of 43 Mbps and upstream signaling rates of 30 Mbps

Access the Internet with high performance network capability.

DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 2.0 cable systems are capable of providing signaling rate of up to

43/55 Mbps and 30 Mbps for downstream and upstream respectively. This bandwidth

however, is shared by several subscribers because there are very few computers today

that can connect to a network at such high speeds. Hence, typical connection speeds are 5

Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream.

IP routing, TCP, ICMP, ARP, TFTP, RIP1, RIP2 with MD5

Improves network performance through containment of broadcast messages and improves security support for

unicast, broadcast and multicast IP packets. The RIP supports key-string encrypted with MD5 for

authentication with the CMTS.

5-port Auto-negotiating and Auto MDI/MDI-X 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch

The 5-port LAN interface automatically detects if it is on a 10 Mbps or a 100 Mbps Ethernet.

56-bit DES Baseline Privacy

Software Remotely Upgradeable

The software and configuration information is downloadable from the cable headend to the Prestige. This

eliminates the need for a cable technician's visit to install software upgrades.

Built-in Diagnostic Features

P964 support remote troubleshooting via CMTS-initiated diagnostics, eliminating visit by a technician. The

front panel status indicator LEDs and web based status monitoring are also incorporated to easy diagnostics

from LAN interfaces.

SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information

between network devices. SNMP is a member of 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, two, and three. (SNMP v1, v2 and v3).

Network Address Translation (NAT)

NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) allows the translation of an Internet Protocol address

used within one network to a different IP address known within another network.

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.

Web based Management & Configuration

The Prestige supports web based management and configuration interface.

Text based configuration file

The Prestige supports text based configuration file download and hence makes router deployment simplified.

TACACS+ server support

The function allows access control to all interfaces for MSO to connect to TACACS+ server for telnet

authentication.
