Internet Access
This chapter shows you how to configure the LAN and WAN of your Prestige for Internet access.
3.1Factory Ethernet Defaults
The Ethernet parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
♦IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits).
3.2LANs and WANs
A LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. A WAN (Wide Area Network), on the other hand, is an outside connection to another network or the Internet.
3.2.1 LANs, WANs and the Prestige
The actual physical connection determines whether the Prestige ports are LAN or WAN ports. There are two separate IP networks, one inside, the LAN network; the other outside: the WAN network as shown next:
