Prestige 2304 Support Notes

Key settings:

a.Assigned By, Choose 'IP address attached on LAN'.

b.IP Address, Enter the IP address of the PC which is installed by the ISP at the first installation.

2.Your ISP checks the 'Host Name'

Some ISPs take advantage of the 'host name' message in a DHCP packet such as @home to do the authentication. When first installing, the ISP's tech people configure the host name as the 'Computer Name' of the PC in the 'Networking' settings. When the Prestige is attached to the cable modem to connect to the ISP, we should configure this host name in the Prestige's system (menu 1).

Menu 1 - General Setup

System Name= zyxel

Key Setting:

•System Name= the system name must be the same as the PC's computer name.

3.Your ISP checks 'User ID'

This authentication type is used by RoadRunner ISP; currently they use RR-TAS (Toshiba Authentication Service) and RR-Manager authentications. You must configure the correct 'Service Type', username and password for your ISP in menu 4.

Menu 4 - Internet Access Setup
