ZyXEL Communications P-1100 manual Power On Your Prestige, Initial Screen

Prestige 1100 Internet Access Router

a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device, not a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment) device, so the null modem is needed to allow connection to the workstation console port, which is of course a DTE device also. Connect the 9-pin (smaller) end of the console cable to the console port of the Prestige and the 25-pin (bigger) end to the null modem. Then connect the null modem 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. After the initial setup, you can modify the configuration remotely through telnet connections or via a modem connection. See the Telnet Configuration and Capabilities chapter for more information on using telnet to configure your Prestige.

Step 3. Connect your Prestige 1100 to Ethernet

Connect one end of a STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to the Ethernet port of the Prestige 1100 and the other to a hub using a straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors . If you connect the Prestige 1100 to a workstation directly without a hub, you must use a crossover cable.

Step 4. Connect the Power Cord to your Prestige 1100

Connect the power cord to the port labeled POWER INPUT on the rear panel of your Prestige 1100.
