About Your Internet Access Router

Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 100WH Internet Access Router.

The Prestige 100WH is a high-performance Router/Hub that offers a complete solution for your WAN (Wide Area Network) applications such as Internet access, LAN-to-LAN connections, telecommuting and remote access over a regular telephone line (or PSTN, Public Switched Telephone Network) or ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network). In addition, the integrated Ethernet 10Base-T hub saves you the cost and clutter of an external hub.

Your Prestige 100WH is easy to install and to configure since you do not need to set any switch. All functions of the Prestige are software configurable via either the SMT (System Management Terminal) Interface or the Java-based Prestige Web Configurator (PWC). This manual concentrates on configuration via the SMT; for detailed information on PWC, please refer to the Prestige Web Configuration User’s Manual.
