5 Remote Node Configuration
A Remote Node represents both a remote gateway and the internet behind it, across an IDSL connection. A Remote Node is required for connecting to the remote network directly. Note that when you use Menu 4 to configure the Internet, your Prestige will automatically add a Remote Node for you.
Even though you can configure up to four remote nodes, the first active remote node will be used to connect to the remote LAN. It is a good practice to keep only one active remote node for your Prestige.
