1.1Introducing the Prestige

The Prestige 2602H/HL/HW/HWL-C are ADSL VoIP IADs (Integrated Access Device) with a built-in switch. They combine high-speed Internet access and Voice over IP (VoIP) communication capabilities. They allow you to use a traditional analog telephone to make Internet calls. By integrating DSL and NAT, the Prestige provides ease of installation and Internet access. The Prestige is also a complete security solution with a robust firewall and content filtering.

At the time of writing, this guide covers the following Prestige models (this guide abbreviates “Prestige” to “P” in the model name as in P2602H for example).
