Preface

About Your ADSL Internet Access Router

Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router.

The Prestige 641 (P641) is an ADSL router used for Internet/LAN access via an ADSL line. The Prestige 641 supports multi-protocol routing for TCP/IP and Novell IPX, as well as transparent bridging for other protocols. We will refer to the Prestige 641 as the P641 or simply the Prestige from now on.

The P641 can run upstream maximum transmission rates of 640Kbps and downstream maximum transmission rates of 8Mbps. The actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wire, distance from the central office and the type of ADSL service subscribed. See the sections below for more background information on DSL and ADSL.

The P641's 10/100M auto-negotiating LAN interface enables fast data transfer of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.

Your Prestige is easy to install and to configure. All functions of the Prestige are software configurable via the SMT (System Management Terminal) Interface.

This user's guide covers all aspects of the Prestige 641 operations and shows you how to get the best out of the multiple advanced features of your ADSL Internet Access Router. This manual is designed to guide you through the correct configuration of your Prestige 641 for various applications.
