Preface

About Your Prestige

Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 782M G.SHDSL Bridge.

The Prestige is a high-performance modem for Internet/LAN access via a telephone line. Your Prestige supports multi-protocol routing for TCP/IP and transparent bridging for other protocols.

The Prestige supports symmetrical multi-rate data transmission speeds from 72Kbps up to 2320Kbps. The actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wires, distance from the central office and the type of xDSL service you subscribe to. Its 10/100M auto-negotiating LAN interface enables fast data transfer of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network. See the following section for more background information on xDSL.
