Preface

About Your Prestige

Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige ISDN Router.

The Prestige 100 and 100IH are high-performance routers that offer complete solutions for your WAN (Wide Area Network) applications such as Internet access, LAN-to-LAN connections, telecommuting and remote access over ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network).

The Prestige 100 and 100IH are identical except that the 100IH has a built-in 4-port Ethernet hub. We will refer to both models as the Prestige from now on and to individual models by their full name (Prestige 100 or Prestige 100IH).

You do not need to set any switches to configure the Prestige. The user-friendly Prestige Web Configurator (PWC) is a JAVA based utility that allows you to manage the Prestige via a Worldwide Web browser. You can also manage the Prestige via the SMT (System Management Terminal), a menu-driven interface that you can access from either a terminal emulator or telnet.
