Step 1. 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 port. Connect the 9-pin end of the console cable to the console port of the Prestige and the other end (choice of 9-pin or 25-pin, depending on your computer) 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. After the initial setup, you can modify the configuration remotely through telnet connections.

Connect the WAN port (silver) on the Prestige to the Ethernet port on the xDSL modem using the cable that came with your xDSL modem.

Step 3. Connecting the Prestige to the LAN

If you have more than one PC, you must use an external hub. Connect the 10/100M LAN port (gold) on the Prestige to a port on the hub using a straight through Ethernet cable. If you only have one PC, you can connect the Prestige to the PC directly without a hub. For a single PC, connect the 10/100M LAN port on the Prestige to the Network Adapter on the PC using a crossover cable (red tag).

Step 4. Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige

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

Caution: To prevent damage to the Prestige, first make sure you have the correct AC power adapter. Please see the Appendices for AC power adapter specifications for your region.
