Prestige 324 Intelligent Broadband Sharing Gateway

 

 

 

 

 

 

CON/AUX

Just connect this port if you want to configure the Prestige using the SMT via console

 

 

switch

port or set up a backup WAN connection.

 

 

CON/AUX port

Set this switch to the “CON” side to use the CON/AUX port as a regular console port for

 

 

 

 

 

 

local device configuration and management. Connect the 9-pin male end of the console

 

 

 

cable to the console port of the Prestige and the other end to a serial port (COM1, COM2

 

 

 

or other COM port) of your computer. You can use an extension RS-232 cable if the

 

 

 

enclosed one is too short. Your computer should have a terminal emulation

 

 

 

communications program (such as HyperTerminal) set to VT100 terminal emulation, no

 

 

 

parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no data flow and 9600 bps port speed.

 

 

 

Set this switch to the “AUX” side to use the CON/AUX port as an auxiliary dial-up WAN

 

 

 

connection. Connect the 9-pin male end of the RS-232 Y-cable to the CON/AUX port and

 

 

 

use the included CON/AUX converter on the other 9-pin end of the cable to connect to a

 

 

 

modem or TA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reset

You only need to use this button if you’ve forgotten the Prestige’s password. It returns

 

 

 

the Prestige to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1,

 

 

 

terminal emulation settings set to VT100 terminal emulation, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop

 

 

 

bit, no data flow and 9600 bps port speed).

 

 

 

 

 

 

LAN 10/100M

Connect these auto-negotiating (10/100M) auto-sensing LAN ports to local computers or

 

 

 

to an external hub using straight-through Ethernet or crossover Ethernet cables. Auto-

 

 

 

sensing means that these ports can automatically adjust to the type of Ethernet cable

 

 

 

you use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WAN 10/100M

Connect your Cable/DSL modem to this port with the cable that came with your modem.

 

 

 

If you want to connect a cable modem, you must connect the coaxial cable from your

 

 

 

cable service to the threaded coaxial cable connector on the back of the cable modem.

 

 

 

Connect an DSL modem to the DSL wall jack. The WAN connection cable should be

 

 

 

STP (Shielded Twisted Pair).

 

2.3Turning on Your Prestige

After you’ve made the connections, connect the power cable to a power supply and look at the front panel LEDs. The PWR LED blinks while performing system testing and then turns steady on if the testing is successful. The CON/AUX, LAN, and WAN LEDs turn on if they are properly connected.
