Step 1. Connecting the ADSL Line

Connect the Prestige directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL cable. Connect the micro filter(s) (supplied – see Figure 2-4 Connecting the Microfilter) between the wall jack and your telephone(s). The micro filters act as low pass filters (voice transmission takes place in the 0 to 4KHz bandwidth).

Step 2. Connecting a Workstation to the Prestige 10/100M LAN port

Ethernet 10Base-T networks use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable with RJ-45 connectors that look like a bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. Use the crossover cable (red tag) to connect your Prestige 641 to a computer directly. Use straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) to connect to an external hub and then connect one end of a straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) from the hub to the NIC on the workstation.

Step 3. Connecting the Power Adapterto your Prestige

Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.

Step 4. Connecting the Console Port

For the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use terminal emulator software on a workstation and connect it to the Prestige through the console portConnect the 9-pin (smaller) end of the console cable to the console port of the Prestige and the 25-pin (bigger) end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your workstation. You can use an extension RS-232 cable if the enclosed one is too short.
