Step 1.
Connecting the ADSL Line
Connect the Prestige directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL cable. Connect the micro filter(s)
(supplied – see Figure 2-4 Connecting the Microfilter) between the wall jack and your telephone(s). The
micro filters act as low pass filters (voice transmission takes place in the 0 to 4KHz bandwidth).
Step 2.
Connecting a Workstation to the Prestige 10/100M LAN port
Ethernet 10Base-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 641 to a
computer directly. Use 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 on the workstation.
Step 3.
Connecting the Power Adapterto your Prestige
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled
POWER
on the rear panel of your Prestige.
Step 4.
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 portConnect the 9-pin (smaller) end of the console cable
to the console port of the Prestige and the 25-pin (bigger) 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.
