Preface
Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router.
The Prestige is a high-performance router for Internet/LAN access via a telephone line. Your Prestige
supports multi-protocol routing for TCP/IP, as well as transparent bridging for other protocols.
The Prestige supports symmetrical multi-rate data transmission speeds 72 Kbps up to 2312 Kbps. The
actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wires, distance from the central office and the
type of DSL service you subscribe to. Its 10/100M auto-negotiating LAN interface enables fast data transfer
of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet
network. See the following section for more background information on DSL.
The Prestige uses TC-PAM line code with echo cancellation for high data rate transmissions over a single-
twisted telephone wire pair without being affected by bridge taps or mixed cable links. It also provides high
immunity from background noise.
Your Prestige is easy to install and configure. All functions are configurable via the SMT (System
Management Terminal) and web configurator. Advanced users may configure the Prestige using CLI
(Command Line Interface) commands.
