There are two different scenarios in which you would connect your Prestige to a LAN: one with a server (server side), and one without a server (client side).

Prestige on LAN with Server

When the Prestige is being connected to a LAN with an existing NetWare server station, you will not need to configure the Prestige as a seed router, and hence the network number parameter in the Ethernet Setup Menu for the Prestige. Rather, the Prestige will learn the network number of the network it is attached to through the regular RIP broadcasts sent by the server and add this route to its routing table.

Prestige on LAN without Server

If the Prestige is connected to a LAN without an existing NetWare server station, then it needs to create a unique external network number to apply to that frame on the LAN.
