Plug one end of the telephone cord from a phone, fax, or modem into the socket on the rear panel of the Prestige labeled PHONE 1 or PHONE 2.

In order to receive incoming calls using a device connected to PHONE ports, you need to enter Phone1 or Phone2 in the Analog Call field under the desired telephone number (e.g., 1st phone #) in SMT Menu 2 - ISDN Setup. See Collecting ISDN Phone Line Information in Chapter 2 for more details.

Connecting an Ethernet Cable to your Prestige

The Prestige supports two types of Ethernet connections. The connection procedure differs for each one; follow the one that is appropriate for your installation.

∙UTP

The UTP port is used to connect to a 10Base-T network. 10Base-T networks use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable and RJ-45 connectors that look like a bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. Two types of gray Ethernet cables come with the package:

∙Straight through cable (white tag): Connect your Prestige to a 10Base-T hub.

∙Crossover cable (red tag): Connect your Prestige to your computer directly without a hub.
