Prestige 650R-31/33 ADSL Router

2.2.2 Console Port

Use terminal emulator software on a computer for configuring your Prestige via console port. Connect the 7-pin end of the supplied console cable to the console port of the Prestige and the 9-pin female end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer.

2.2.3 LAN 10/100M Port

Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T networks use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable with RJ-11 connectors (POTS) that look like a bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. Use the crossover cable to connect your Prestige to a computer directly or use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to an external hub, then connect one end of the straight-through cable from the hub to the NIC on the computer.

When the Prestige is on and properly connected to a computer or a hub, the

corresponding LAN LED on the front panel turns on.

2.2.4 Power Port

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

To avoid damage to the Prestige, use the correct power adapter. Refer to the

Power Adapter Specification Appendix for this information.

2.2.5 Reset Button

Refer to section 2.8 for information on the RESET button.

2.3Additional Installation Requirements

A computer with an Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T NIC (Network Interface Card).

VT100 terminal emulation.

9600 baud rate.

Parity set to none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.

After the Prestige has been successfully connected to your network, you can make future changes to the configuration via Telnet or the embedded web configurator.
