ZyXEL Communications 100IH manual UTP Interface

Prestige 100 and 100IH ISDN Router and Router/Hub

Step 1. Connecting the ISDN Line

Connect the Prestige to the ISDN network using the included ISDN (black) cable. Plug one end of the cable into the port labeled ISDN BRI and the other to the ISDN wall jack.

Step 2. Connecting a Workstation to the Prestige

UTP Interface

Ethernet 10Base-T networks use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors that look like a bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. Connect a workstation to the built-in hub on the Prestige 100IH to create an Ethernet network. Connect one end of a straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) to the NIC on the workstation and the other end to one of the built-in 4 Ethernet ports on the Prestige 100IH (Figure 2-3). Use the crossover cable (red tag) to connect your Prestige 100 to a computer directly or use straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) to connect to an external hub (as shown in Figure 2-4) and then connect one end of a straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) from the hub to the NIC on the workstation.

AUI (P100 only)

The AUI (Attachment Unit Interface), or 10 Base-5, port allows you to connect the Prestige 100 to a thicknet cable. If you have thinnet cable (10 Base-2) you need an external transceiver to connect the Prestige 100 to the cable. Connect one end of a straight through Ethernet cable to the NIC on the workstation and the other end to one of the AUI ports.

Connecting a Telephone/Fax to the Prestige

If you wish, you can connect regular telephones, fax machines or other analog devices to the Prestige. To connect an analog device, plug the end of the telephone cord from the device to either port PHONE1 or PHONE2 on the rear panel of the Prestige.

Step 3. Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige

Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.

Step 4. Connecting the Console Port

For the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use terminal emulator software on a workstation and connect it to the Prestige through the console port. Connect the 9-pin (smaller) end of the console cable to the console port of the Prestige and the 25-pin (bigger) end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your workstation. You can use an extension RS-232 cable if the enclosed one is too short.
