2.2.1 Connecting the ADSL Line

Connect the Prestige directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL cable. Connect a microfilter between the wall jack and your telephone(s) (see the Connecting a Microfilter figure). Microfilter(s) act as low pass filters (voice transmission takes place in the 0 to 4KHz bandwidth). A microfilter is an optional purchase.

2.2.2 Connecting a Computer to the Prestige 10/100M LAN Port

Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T networks use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable with RJ-45 connectors that look like a bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. Use the crossover cable (red tag) to connect your Prestige to a computer directly. Use a straight-through Ethernet cable (white tag) to connect to an external hub and then connect one end of a straight-through Ethernet cable (white tag) from the hub to the NIC (Network Interface Card) on the computer.

2.2.3 Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige

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