ZyXEL Communications 100WH Connecting External Hubs, Power On Your Prestige, Initial Screen

Prestige 100WH Internet Access Router

2.4Connecting External Hubs

The Prestige can accommodate up to 4 workstations on the built-in Ethernet hub; if you have more than 4, then you need an external hub for the additional ones. If this is the case, connect the external hub to the Prestige using a straight-through cable from the uplink port of the external hub to one of the 4 Ethernet ports of the Prestige. Please make sure that the uplink port on the external hub is in the uplink mode (usually with a toggle switch). If your external hub does not have an uplink port, then you must use a crossover cable to daisy-chain it to the Prestige.

2.5Power On Your Prestige

At this point, you should have connected the computer, the telephone line, the Ethernet cable, and the power supply to your Prestige. You can now power on your Prestige by plugging the AC adapter to the appropriate power outlet.

Step 1. Initial Screen

When you power on your Prestige, the Internet Access Router performs several internal tests and performs a modem initialization. After initialization, the Prestige asks you to press [Enter] to continue, as shown in Figure 2-2.
