2-2 Hardware Installation & Setup
Figure 2-2 Prestige 642 Rear Panel
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/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 642
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 Adapter to 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 port. Connect the 9-pin end of the console cable (9-pin to
25-pin console cable supplied) to the console port of the Prestige and the 25-pin 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.
